Susan Neiman

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing; the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
Theodore Roosevelt

{blessings}

Throw Away
Be mindful of what you throw away, be careful of what you push away, and think hard before you walk away. May God bless you with a life free of clutter and filled with treasures.

Determine Your Favor
A positive attitude determines your favor. May you be blessed to see the opportunities, not the obstacles, the light, not the shadows, and may your faith in God always sustain you.

Work Hard
Work hard, play hard. Live well, love more. Don’t hold back, give generously. May God bless you with abundant joy.

Welcoming Good
Find all the good around you. Acknowledge it, welcome it, share it with others. May God bless you with good every second of every day.

Good Job
You can’t do a good job if your job is all you do. May God bless you with a work-life balance that fulfills you.

{prayers}

Life
Life is not what is promised, But what is sought. These bones, not what is found, But what we’ve fought. Our truth, not what we said, But what we thought. Our lesson, all we have taken & all [You] have brought.
Amanda Gorman (adapted)

Faithful Student
Dear God. I am your faithful student. Help me to be a lifelong learner. Open my eyes to the wonder of Your universe. Let me hear all that humankind has to teach me. May I always gain knowledge, grow in understanding, and find wisdom. Praise to You, Divine Teacher of truths. Amen

To Peace
Dear God, stop me from fighting. I fight the system which is stacked against me. I fight with people who stand in my way. I fight the evil inclinations that tempt me daily. O Lord, Help me to surrender to that which I should and to conquer that which I must. Teach me acceptance with an open heart and strong resolve. Bring me to peace.

Forward Thinking
I’m looking forward to looking back on all this. God, help me to get through the difficulties, celebrate the victories, and emerge stronger with my spirits high.

Peace in my Soul
Dear God, thank You for the gift of peace You placed so lovingly in my soul. Remind me to snuggle with it, to feed its growth, to be content with it. Peace, be my prayer.
