{quotes}
Deed Over Creed
Deed over creed. What you do counts for more than what you believe.
Don’t Give Up on Love
Don’t give up on love. It’s out there. Promise.
Wake Up & Smile
Smile. God woke you up for a reason today.
Ask Questions
You don’t only learn from the answers, let your questions bring you knowledge.
Everything is a Miracle
There are two ways to live. You can live as if nothing is a miracle, or you can live as if everything is one.
Unexpected Paths
There are no wrong turns, only unexpected paths.
{blessings}
Minimal Worry
It’s yours for the taking. To be happy, gay, and free. To live with minimal worry. It’s not only an option, it’s an imperative. May you be blessed to hand over your worries to God, and to gleefully move on.
Leap of Action
Miracles do not require a leap of faith, they require a leap of action. May you be blessed to make your own miracles happen, one step and then one leap at a time.
Treasures
Eventually you grow weary of seeking treasures outside yourself and you begin to look within. There you discover the riches you seek. The treasure is; who you are already. May you be blessed with introspection that diverts your attention from the fake shiny objects around you to the authentic gems in your own heart.
20 Seconds
Sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage, for something very good to come of it. May you be blessed with shameless bravery today.
Steering Wheel
Prayer is not a spare wheel you pull out when things go flat. It’s a steering wheel to keep you on the right road. May you be blessed to pray through good times and bad, to pray with sincerity, and to pray often. Find your way in prayer.
Say it in Story
A doubting person can be drowning in facts, but facts won’t change a mind that doesn’t want to be changed. May you be blessed to say it in story. God gave you a glorious story to tell – your own. Make it personal, and you make yourself heard.
{prayers}
Seek & Obey
Dear God, Forgive me for the times when I choose to follow my own will instead of Yours. I know Your plan is the highest and best one for me and I was created in response to Your will. Thank You for the purpose in my life. Today, I choose to seek You and obey Your Word. Amen
What Lies Ahead
Dear God, This is an hour of change. I stand uncertain in the darkness. Shall I draw back or cross over? I whisper these words. “What lies ahead?” Tell me please.
Contentment I Need
Dear God, Stop me when enough is enough. When it can’t be sweeter, more rewarding, or when it doesn’t get better than it is already. It’s contentment I need. Remind me I am happy. Give me a sign, tell me when to stop wanting more. Bring me to the place where appreciation prevails. Amen
Broken of Spirit
Dear God. For a long time she’s been feeling broken, lost, and alone. Her self-doubts, insecurities, and regrets have gotten the best of her. She’s even forgotten how to laugh or smile. I pray that her spirit will be whole and happy again. Amen
Discretion
Dear God lend me the discretion to speak only kind words. Give me the strength to resist the sharp put-down. Give me the humility to listen. Amen
Divine Order
Dear God, You know how much I want peace of mind. Please grant it to me. I yearn for a life of Divine order, set things right. Bestow upon me loving relationships, wholeness, and joy. Share with me the purpose You meant for me, and I will live the values You have taught me. Amen
