{quotes}
Science takes things apart to see how they work. Religion puts things together to see what they mean.
Jonathan Sacks
Pain nourishes courage. You can’t be brave if you’ve only had wonderful things happen to you.
Mary Tyler Moore

{blessings}
The Day You Were Born
Everybody is born twice. The day they were born, and the day they discovered why. May God bless you to know and love your purpose.
Curiosity into Action
Unanswered questions cause you to act to find answers. May you be blessed to turn your curiosity into action.
Grow and Prosper
Adversity and challenge often bring out the best in you. Rise to the occasion. God blessed you with unlimited potential to grow and prosper.
Spiritual Reasoning
Logic is good, but logic is not everything. There are appropriate times for trusting your spiritual reasoning. May God bless you with a soul that makes sense and a mind open to emotional reasoning.
Good God!
Bad luck, or bad planning? Good luck or good God? On a day when you expect bad luck, remember this: God’s blessings are part of His plan for you.

Healthy Affirmation
It starts now, this minute. I will be better to my body. I will get fitter not fatter. I will be careful with my diet, walk more, exercise regularly, and visit the doctor for check-ups. Thank You, God, for the gift of my body. I will care for this amazing network of muscle, bone, fluids, and organs that You lovingly made for me.
Whisper Heard
Dear God, my prayer begins with a whisper heard and culminates with a triumphant shout!
Suzanne Sabransky
Healthful, Happy Living
Dear God, Help me make today new without a repeat of yesterday’s failings. Show me how to resist temptation, focus on necessary things, and avoid the uselessness of negative thinking. Guide me deliberately to healthful, happy living.
Heal and Relieve
I come to You for comfort in my time of need. Heal me from the inside out. Bless me with relief. With the power of Your grace and the sincerity of my faith, I thank You, dear God, for what is to come.
Money Woes
Dear God, I have money woes, a problem with money flow. I affirm a borrower I will not be; the path to liquidity I will see. Praying for revelation to improve my situation. Praise to You, my Father, my Guide, from whom I will never hide. Blessed am I.
