{prayers}
Long Happy Years
Dear God, Grace us with long, healthy years and love that grows stronger every day. Let nothing and no one come between us. May we share every triumph and console each other when disappointment comes. Blessed are you O, Lord who brought us together and guides us through life.
Take Nothing for Granted
Dear God, each moment has riches to savor for a lifetime. I will take nothing for granted. I shall stand in attention when Your everyday miracles appear before my eyes. I walk in truth, beauty, and kindness. Thank You for guiding me on this walk called living gratefully.
God, With Me
I do not walk alone. You, dear God, are beside me through every storm and each wrong turn. You wait for me to make my choices, good and bad, supporting me when I fall and applauding when I stand tall. You are with me. Thank You.
The Dream
God. You put a dream in my mind for a reason. Show me the way to achieve it. Hold my hand tightly as I venture into the unknown to find the way. Praise to You, who inspires me with ambition. Thanks to You, who is the source of my success.
My God!
The one constant in my life is my God. When there is chaos, God brings calm. When negativity invades my brain, I think of goodness, and I am able to clear away the noise. Friends come and go. Family can disappoint me. But God is pure joy always.
