Storms
Not all storms come to disrupt your life. Some come to clear your path.
Paulo Coelho

Work in Progress
Can anything be sadder than work left unfinished? Yes, work never begun.
Christina Rossetti

Change
To improve is to change, so to be perfect is to have changed often.
Winston Churchill

Grateful for Me
I do not live for what the world thinks of me but for what I think of myself.
Jack London

Doubt
If doubt is challenging you and you do not act, doubts will grow. Challenge the doubts with action, and you will grow. Doubt and action are incompatible.
John Kanary

{prayers}

Quiet Time
Dear God, I treasure my quiet time. I make it, I protect it, I use it to talk to You. Thank You, O God Holy One, who unwinds the tangled ribbon of disappointments and despair and fills me with joy instead. In these too few minutes of prayer, I am renewed.

Live in Grace
Dear God, I want, first of all, to be at peace with myself. I want a singleness of eye, a purity of intention, and a central core to my life that will enable me to carry out my obligations and activities. I want to live in grace.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

I Have
Dear God, give me the will to confront my “I wants” and “I needs” with recognition of the blessings I have. Show me the way to contentment, and I will surely follow. Discipline is my watchword. Appreciation is my reward.

No More!
Today, I will grow in independence of spirit and confidence in myself. Out! I say to doubt. No more! I say to self-deprecation. I accept the challenge, dear God. I thank You for yet another chance to get it right.

Money and Time
I hear the calls of the needy, but I am unsure how to help. I am caught up in a tangled web of requests for my money and time. Resentment is overwhelming, and generosity is on the retreat. I need balance from You, O Lord. Calm my soul, clear my vision. Guide me.
