Prayables Daily Blessings Weekly Round-Up April 8, 2017
{wisdom}
Choose to focus on God, not on your circumstances.
It is during your darkest moment that you will see the light.
Love doesn’t make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
Only when you attempt the absurd, can you achieve the impossible.
You who have suffered, understand suffering, and therefore should extend your hand.
“What day is it?” he asked. “It’s today” she answered. “My favorite day!” he said.
{blessings}
Simplicity
You want to be happy. It’s a desire as essential as your need to breathe. But it’s a lot more complicated than you think. Or is it? May you blessed with a gift of simplicity. Let simple be your way of thought, the hallmark of your actions. Truth is…a simple lifestyle brings you closer to God.
Human Prosperity
Who could doubt that the love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege? Certainly not you. You have your priorities straight. May God continue to bless you with human prosperity, the kind that you spend, but is never spent.
Share Your Challenges
Your energy level is on empty. You’re exhausted and there is too much work to be done. Don’t give up just yet. Tap into a limitless source of vim and vigor: God. May you be blessed to call upon your faith for replenishment. It’s a two-for-one deal – God shares your challenges.
Know Yourself
The only way to get what you really want, is to know what you really want. And the only way to know what you really want, is to know yourself. May you be blessed to hear your heart, it’s telling you how to be yourself.
Wonderful Tomorrows
Something terrible can happen to you, and yet, the day after this ‘something terrible’, the sun still rises, and life goes on. And therefore, so must you. May you be blessed with wonderful tomorrows that chase away hurtful memories.
Egregious Sin
Temptation is not the biggest problem, not excess and not even greed. The root of the most egregious sin is indifference to the sublime wonders of living. May you be blessed to care deeply and to be in awe of the everyday miracles you encounter.
{prayers}
God’s Provision
Dear God, I am thankful for your faithfulness and provision. I don’t always like learning the painful truths, and too many times I don’t understand why things happen the way they do. But I can always say with absolute certainty, You are with me every step of the way. Your presence is more than enough to get me through it all. Amen
Prayer for My Marriage
Lord, You reveal Your deep and never-failing love for us through our marriage, and we’re thankful. I come to You weak and dependent, needing Your strength to keep my marriage vows.
“I take you to be my husband”
Lord, I trust that my husband was Your divine choice from the moment I said “I do”. I embrace him fully as Your will for my life.
“To have and to hold from this day forward”
Help the two of us create a marriage that is full of joy, oneness, and the reflection of You. Help me to reach out to him with touches that are filled with love.
“For better, for worse”
God, I need Your perfect love, perseverance, and hope for the bad days. Give me the strength to cling to You, the Rock, when our marriage is shaky.
“For richer, for poorer”
Provider God, my husband and I look to You for our provision. Help us to be true teammates when financial worries hit.
“In sickness and in health”
Give me gentleness, patience and grace when my husband is sick. Sustain me through long illnesses because I can’t do it without Your strength.
“To love and to cherish”
Open my eyes every day to the positive attributes of my husband and let love cover his flaws.
“Until death do us part”
When the day is long and the irritations are many, help me to hold fast to the beauty of growing old together.
“This is my solemn vow”
Amen.
Right Pathways
Lord, I have faith in You to guide my way. To keep me safe and secure. To put me on right pathways. To show me how to handle adversity and overcome obstacles. You provide for my every need and I thank You. Amen
Bring Light
Today my forest is dark. The trees are sad and the butterflies have broken wings. Lord, bring light. May it be Your will to lift me from the depression that overwhelms me.
New Season
Like a bird who sings to celebrate the break of day, I sing a song of praise to You Lord, as I celebrate a new season of my spiritual awareness.
Friendships
Let our friendships be strong, dear God, that they become a blessing to others. Let our friendships be open, dear God, that they may be a haven for others. Let our friendships be gentle, dear God, that they may bring peace to others.

{affirmations}
Just for today I rest: God created the Sabbath as a dedicated space for rest, not as something we get to do if and when we finish all of our work.
I will go out of my way today to make the day better for a special person.
Self-compassion is an act of courage. To treat myself with kindness even amidst challenge or failure.
Starting today I will forget what is gone, appreciate what remains, and look forward to what is coming next.
I will finish what I started.
God is the way, my way, He knows the way. I am guided by God who prepares the way for my good. Who is aware of the way to my wholeness and my success. Who is the light on my way. God is my peace of mind. My well-being. My assurance. God is the way.
