{blessings}

{prayers}
Giving Spirit
Dear God, Before, I prayed in a wanting way, trying to move or influence You. But today, I pray with a giving spirit, knowing that generous prayer moves the grace within me and acknowledging that all good comes through You.
Time & Circumstance
There is no explanation for such a life as this apart from Your Divine Presence. Praise to You, Holy One, who sees fit to place me in this time and circumstance so that I may carry out Your plan for the world.
Healthy Promise
Dear God. Keep me whole and healthy. Lift me up when I am down. Bring me back when I am lost. Urge me on when I am headed in the right direction, turn me around when I am on the wrong path. Only You know my destiny. Only I can fulfill my promise.
Giving it All
I give it all to You, the Almighty. All my cares and troubles. All my goodness and grace. I give it all to You, the Almighty, and then I find more to give to the people You ask me to serve. Those who make up the confines and open boundaries of my life. Oh, what a wondrous way to live!
Step-Up
Thank You, God, all-powerful, all-knowing, all-good. Today, I step up and settle into a day of righteous living. Energized by Your glory, striking a path of my own that honors Your magnificence.
