{blessings}
The best things in life are the people you love, the places you go to, and the memories you are blessed to make along the way.
Shh. Listen, and you will hear God’s promise of untold blessings.
Staying positive doesn’t mean you have to be happy all of the time. It means that even on hard days, you know there are better ones coming. May God bless you with hope and assurance for a bright future.
Most of the stuff you’re worrying about isn’t going to happen. May you be blessed with the gift of ease.
{prayers}
Presence Within Me
I am still, and I feel God’s comforting presence within me. I am present, and I hear God’s voice soothing my soul. I gaze upon the abundant provisions God has placed near, and I am grateful for the gifts I receive from our loving God.
Which Once Was Mine
Dear God, Caress me. Care for me. Lift me up and out of my lowly state. I long for the energy which once was mine. I pray for the will to be who You meant for me to be. Bring me back, happy and whole again.
Silence Safe
Silence is a safe, sacred space for healthy spiritual relationships. Words are not always needed to share love and feel connected with You, dear God.
inspired by a quote from Topher Kearby
Prayer: Family Afar
Dear God, I have friends and family scattered all over the world. Being unable to spend time with them hurts and leaves me with a hole that needs to be filled. That’s when I come here to pray with You. To say thank You for the support I receive from afar and within. Togetherness doesn’t always need to be a proximity. Fullness is an emotion, not a physicality—praise to You, who brings Your people close.
Comfort Me
Dear God, When it all comes crashing down and I am drowning in my tears, comfort me.
