{quotes}
I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.
Michael Jordan
I am content to fill a little space if God be glorified.
Susanna Wesley
One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can’t utter.
James Earl Jones
An individual has not begun to live until he can rise above the narrow horizons of his particular individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.

{blessings}
Unseen and Seen
When you believe in the invisible you can see the impossible. May God bless you with unwavering faith and an unobstructed vision of what the future holds.
Sleepless Night
For every sleepless night, there is new dawn. May God bless you with a working-out of the problems that keep you up at night. Look to the light and find your answers.
Right Over Wrong
Some people focus more on what is wrong instead of what is right. Be grateful for the good, and may God bless you with more pleasure than pain.
How You Pray For It
Be careful how you pray for it. Tossing up a “gimme prayer” may not have the same heft as one that praises, thanks, and shares the load. Pursue your prayers with a positive attitude. Follow up with unselfish good deeds. May God bless you with answered prayers.
Live Prayerfully
Prayer can be like breathing, you do it without effort, it’s constant and live-giving. May you be blessed to pray without ceasing. Live prayerfully.
{prayers}
Prayer March
Dear God, Help me march through each day victorious. Defeating my negative thoughts, banishing the enemy of temptation, conquering fear. Victory will be mine, and I will rejoice in the peace that follows the battle. I will celebrate with You, my strength, and my salvation. Amen
Immortal Words
God. Do You hear the murmuring of my prayers? Can You understand the language of my silence? Are You listening to me when I cry out for mercy? Please, loving Father, I am waiting for Your immortal words. Please, answer me.
Love is Ours
Soul to soul, heart on heart, hand in hand, love is ours. God, bless us and the love we share. Help us look past each other’s imperfections, restrain ourselves from making cutting comments, and remind us to be kind and considerate always.
Sharing Strength
Dear God, Remind me that challenges come and go, misery isn’t a life-long condition, and financial troubles can be overcome. Bless me, O God, with a positive attitude. Share Your strength and I will move mountains. I will carry on without complaining, I have Your love to lift me up.
Divine Will
May it be Your will, Divine Creator of humankind, that I have clarity of mind, purity of soul, and generosity of spirit.
