{quotes}
You can’t control everything. Just let go and let life happen.
At the point where hope would otherwise become hopelessness, it becomes faith. -Robert Brault
Be humble and You’ll never stumble.
Motivation gets you started, habit keeps you going, prayer sets your course.
To love is nothing. To be loved is something. But to love and be loved, that’s everything. -Themus Tolis
May you be blessed with laughter to cheer you and loved ones near you.
{blessings}
Kind
Kindness is a way of life. It’s much, much, much better than thoughtlessness. Or indifference. Certainly better than being mean. May you be blessed to be kind. You have it in you—be the kind of person who lives a life of kindness. It feels oh so good.
3-D
Don’t let the 3-D brothers in to your home. Despair, discouragement, and disappointment are ungrateful house guests. Refuse to serve them. May God bless you with positive emotional hospitality which is gracious, yet selective about the type of characters hanging out in your head and heart.
His Good Plan
You are mighty in God and He is mighty in you. May you begin to see your setbacks as temporary, your delays as detours, and your heartbreaks as opportunities to experience God’s precious, powerful healing. And in the meantime, may God give you glimpses of glory, insights into His good plan for you.
Face of God
Moses never saw the face of God but he felt His glory, he knew His awe. May you be blessed with glory and awe as you come to know the Holy One more intimately with every Godly encounter.
State of Mind
80% of social media posts are self-centered. 70% of conversations are not. May God bless you with an other-centered state of mind and the peace of mind to limit your participation on social media. Be healthy, do your talking in person.
{prayers}
Help Me Remember
As day follows day help me remember I am loved and respected. Ease my unease. Steady me when I am unsteady. Lift me when I am let down. Praise to the Lord, my God.
Prayer for My Sister
My sister is a gift from God. She answers my call when faith fails and doubt prevails. She’s there to lift me when I am shaken up and beaten down. My sister reminds me to be grateful when gratitude goes missing. May God protect and empower her for she is His most deserving soul. Amen
Calm. Praise. Faith.
God I devote this day to You. Every where I pray is sacred every way I pray is holy. Calm. Praise. Faith. Thank You
Tiny Light of Good
Let me give not only of my resources, but also of my spirit. May the tiny light of good will within me be made greater with the giving, radiating outward passing from fingertip to fingertip, each kindness kindling another. amen
Astounding God
Good Morning Lord/ Delight me with Your miracles. Amaze me with Your kindness. Dazzle me with Your splendor. All praise the grand, glorious, and astounding God! Amen
