The greatest results in life are usually attained by simple means and the exercise of ordinary qualities. These may, for the most part, be summed in these two: common sense and perseverance.

{prayers}
Divine Example
Dear God, You show strength by reaching out to us in mercy and love. I pray to do the same, to follow in Your holy footsteps, continuing Your work here on Earth. All praise to You. Your way is clear, and You lead by Divine example.
Rushing
Rushing only works with running streams. Slow me down, O Lord. Remind me when it’s time to meander mindlessly. Slow my heart and step so that I may take in the glory surrounding me. Inspired by Fred Levy
Peace Among Us
I have sent my thoughts and prayers. I have put myself in the shoes of those who stand in opposition to my values. I have cried ceaselessly for humanity. It is time now for policy and change. Is it Your will, dear God, for the leaders who have the power, to make the change? Hear my voice, answer my prayers, and bring peace among us.
Ready for Love
Dear God. My belly may be full, but my heart is hungry. Help me find a satisfying love. Send me a soulmate, one who is filled with Your faith. Kind and compassionate. Wise and resourceful. Someone who is looking for me, someone who is ready for love.
Music of God’s Voice
Dear God, Your voice is my sweetest song. Thank You for the words and melody You provide for my prayers. The upbeats and downbeats add dimension to my life. You are my muse and my music, and I am forever, gratefully, Yours.
{bible affirmations}
For though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.
Micah 7:8
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
1 Corinthians 13:4-6
Fight the good fight. Finish the race. Keep the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7
Turn my eyes away from worthless things. Lord, give me life through Your word.
