{blessings}
Measurable Difference
Stick your neck out for a friend. It takes just inches of extra effort to make a measurable difference in the life of another. May God bless you with loyalty and sacrifice that counts.
Curiosity
The best answer to a good question is a more and better question. Good conversation makes you think, it causes learning, and life becomes more meaningful. May you be blessed with curiosity that leads to a smarter, happier you!
Prayer Can
Prayer cannot bring water to parched land, nor mend a broken bridge, nor rebuild a ruined city, but prayer can water an arid soul, mend a broken heart and rebuild a weakened will. May you be blessed with the healing power of prayer.
Sympathetic Ear
Shhh. Listen. They’re talking to you. Hear what they are saying. May God bless you with a sympathetic ear. Take it in fully. Help them with your understanding.
Weird
You don’t need to be perfect to be in a good solid relationship.You just need someone who loves (and respects) your weirdness. May you be blessed to be happy with a loving partner and to be happy with yourself – weirdness and all, exactly as God made you.
{prayers}
Prayer for My Children
Dear God, I raised my children with You as the centerpiece of their faith, the model of moral behavior. Every good deed, each loving gesture, all the kindness expressed, came from You. Be with them as they grow independent, strong, and righteous. Help them learn in failure. Let them enjoy success. Protect them from their fear, drive out their anger, comfort them in disappointment. Thank You God, Holy Hand of guidance. Amen
Simply…Amazing
Dear God, Thank You for holding me so gracefully. The way You take my hand to help me move through the ups and downs of life is simply…amazing. Thank You for elevating my soul in such a beautiful way. I am filled with Your love. Amen – inspired by Sarita Vansha
Sensitive
Dear God, I do not live on this Earth alone. I am one with You and one with millions of brothers and sisters who walk Your path. Make me sensitive to their feelings. Give me a way to relieve their pain and revel with them in pleasure. Thank You Sovereign of Souls. Amen
Prayer for My Brother
Thank You for my brother. He has the unsaid words that let me know I am loved. And at the rare moment when he lets down his guard, and I see he is vulnerable, Lord grace me with just the right gesture so he will know I love him too.
Future
I am praying for all that hasn’t happened yet. To be healed with totality – mind, body, and soul. Finding just the right work, and being financially blessed by it. Making positive change in my little corner of this crazy world. May I receive all this and more. Thank You God Who brings the future to me.
