Prayables Week of May 6, 2017
{wisdom}
There’s not too much that a good laugh and a long nap can’t fix.
Spring is nature’s way of saying “let’s party!”
Even negative people are in your life to teach you a lesson.
None are so old as those who have outlived their enthusiasm.
Nobody gets to live life backwards. Look ahead that’s where your future lies.
Until you value yourself you will not value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything important with it.
{blessings}
Wings to Fly
You can disdain gravity all you want, call out its unfairness, seek to have it banned. But that’s not going to help you build an airplane. May you be blessed with visionary thinking that takes you to new heights. Gravity holds you down when you want to soar, but God gives you wings to fly.
Beyond Comparison
Comparison is a fast track to unhappiness. Nine times out of ten you compare yourself to someone somehow better than you – and you become the loser. May you be blessed with personal satisfaction. Live proudly, you are in a class of your own.
Adapt & Adjust
It’s not unusual to be nervous. Change is oh so hard. How will you ever get on? May you be blessed to adapt and adjust. God is with you, to guide and protect you. Relax, you’ll do swimmingly.
Togetherness
All relationships have one rule. Never make the one you love feel alone, especially when you are there. May you be blessed to know true togetherness that comes from being always considerate, always mindful, and always there for one another.
Investing Healthy
Invest in yourself. Build your self-worth by increasing your values. May you be blessed to add a healthy habit to your personal portfolio. Habits are like financial capital – forming one today is an investment that will automatically give out returns for years to come.
Godly Behavior
Greed brings hostility between the haves and have-nots. Wars are waged because of arrogance and ego. Reputations are destroyed by malicious gossip. Not cool. Not you. May you be blessed with Godly behavior that is thoughtful, humble, and good.
{prayers}
Treasure Time
God, I will treasure the time I have and resolve to use it well, counting each moment precious, a chance to comprehend some truth, to experience some beauty, to conquer some evil, to relieve suffering, to love and be loved, to achieve something of lasting worth. Amen
Special Day
Dear God, Make this day special. A day that means much more than the earth having turned on its axis one more time. A day with a spectacular burst of goodness that softens stubborn minds and heals hearts that hurt. Amen
Your Will
Dear Lord, I can bear anything knowing that it is ultimately Your will. Ease me down gently from disappointment. Lift me up slowly, yet surely, to a new place where you want me to be. I trust in You to know my destiny. I live in You to fulfill it. Amen
Lead me to the Answer
Lord, I know this difficulty I am facing is a test. Lead me to the answer. My faith is strong, but my will is not. Be my legs, I can not walk. Be my eyes, I can not see. Help me know what I must do. Praise to You, oh holy One.
Standing Calm
Lord, Give me courage. Restore my strength. Help me to calmly stand firm. Praise to You! Amen
Whole Self
Dear God, Help me perfect my ways of loving and caring. Inspire me to make myself whole. Lead me to do acts of kindess, peace and love, so that I may honor Your name and bring joy to the world. amen

{bible}
Psalm 42:4
My heart is breaking as I remember how it used to be: I walked among the crowds of worshipers, leading a great procession to the house of God, singing for joy and giving thanks amid the sound of a great celebration!
Psalm 89:15
Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of Your presence, Lord.
Daniel 6:27
God works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth.
Numbers 16:1-3
Now Korach…rose up against Moses and said…”Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the Lord?”
Proverbs 3:13-15
Happy is the one who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding; for its value is greater than silver, its yields are better than gold. It is more precious than rubies, no treasure can match it.
Psalm 28:7
Lord, You are my strength and protector. I trust You with evey fiber of my being. You help me, and You fill my heart to bursting. I call out with words of thanks and gratitude to You.

Healthy
I brush away the aches, pain, and discomfort. I coax healing my way. “Join me” I say to good health. Then I immediately mutter (between clenched teeth) “get lost” to the intruder named illness.
Peace & Tranquility
Today I will offer words of peace and tranquility to someone who feels anxious.
Holy New Beginnings
It’s a season of fresh starts. I will try something new and do things in a holy new way.
Life Everlasting
God, my love for You always thrives, it is always alive.
Be Bold.
Today I will be as bold as I need to be, because someone is waiting for me to make the first move.
Love & Beauty
Today I will see the beauty, inside and out, in everyone I love.
