{quotes}
The world is new to us every morning—and everyone should believe they are reborn each day.
Israel ben Eliezer
I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I’m going to learn, I must do it by listening.
Larry King
Too often, the problem is not the call but rather the response. The twin enemies, fatigue and fear, are ever-pervasive.
Karyn Kedar
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helped you.

{blessings}
Be the Answer
Every day, you can choose to become the answer to someone’s prayers. May God bless you with an extra-large dose of kindness that you lovingly share with everyone who needs it.
Inspire!
Aspire to inspire before you expire. May the good Lord bless you with the desire to move others to Godly moments.
Awe Inspired
Elicit awe in the everyday things you see because God has blessed you with a creative, awe-inspired mind.
Don’t Wait for It
Waiting around will almost never reap a reward. May God bless you to go after what you want with renewed energy and a sense of purpose. You have divine power urging you forward. Use it.
Lean In
May this be the season you lean into your strengths without downplaying them.
Morgan Harper Nichols
{prayers}
Now is the Time for Turning
Dear God, help me to turn – from callousness to sensitivity, from hostility to love, from pettiness to purpose, from envy to contentment, from carelessness to discipline, from fear to faith. Turn me around, O God, and bring me back toward You. Revive my life, as at the beginning. And turn me toward others, God, for in isolation, there is no life. Jack Riemer
Wrapped in Glory
God, You are. Wrapped in glory, high and mighty, humble and compassionate. Constant. Voices raise to You. Hearts open to You. Eyes turn to You. I give praise to You, God of mine.
Angel Whispers
As the sun rises, Your angels descend. Whispers from the holy messengers seep into my soul. I start my day in a positive way. I am this morn, reborn.
Nightfall
Beloved are You, eternal God, by whose design the evening falls, by whose command dimensions open up and eons pass away and stars spin in their orbits. Beloved are You, God for this hour of nightfall. Andre Ungar (abridged)
God Stamp
I am made with the image of You, dear God, stamped on my soul. A holy spirit that is shared and held dear. Your goodness is mine to live with and give with. Blessed are You, divine Creator.
