Today is a good day to stop dwelling on the things you can’t control. May you be blessed with a clear mind and firm resolve to live life fully aware of the boundaries available to you.
Compliments
Compliment a stranger today. May you be an unexpected blessing to someone who needs it.

True Apology
A true apology is changed behavior. May God bless you with the chance for change.
{prayers}
Well-Watered Garden
Dear God, guide me continually, giving me water when I am dry and restoring my strength when I am wilted. Let me be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-growing, ever-flowing pure spring.
Beseech Thee
God above me, sit beside me, protect me and guide me. Teach me, I beseech Thee. Praise Thee. Live gratefully for Thee.
Whole and Healthy Again
I offer prayers for those who are hurting. The ones with broken bodies and broken spirits. Bless them with healing. Be a comfort to them. Make them whole and healthy again. Praise God who gives strength to all who are in need of holy healing.
Prayer Explosion
Praise God. For a body cycling through the daily business of keeping me alive. For a steady flow of faith, hope, and contentment. For the spiritual renewal that churns in my belly and explodes in my heart. With God’s help, good thoughts win the struggle over fear and disappointment today. In gratitude, I pray.
Affirmation of Gratitude
Oh, how You love me, dear God! I feel Your love with my waking breath each morning. My eyes open wide to marvel at Your creation. My body serves me and enables me to serve You and others. Thank You, for my purpose, thank You for good health, and thank You for daily miracles.
