Modesty isn’t about hiding your body. It’s about revealing your dignity.

{blessings}
Purity
May you be blessed to discover your innocence and grow in purity. Cleanse your soul today with prayer.
Attitude
Be the person you strive to be. May you be blessed with an attitude that serves your ambition and may you find the will to follow through on the tough stuff that needs to get done.
Prioritize
Memo to the disorganized: prioritize your time with God, and He will bless you with an inner world of order that expands to outward.
Sit With God
When no one understands you, sit next to God, who is fluent in silence. Your blessing today is voiceless. Get lost in a Godly moment without words.
Stroll Through Life
It’s not a race to the finish. It’s a stroll through life, capturing its nuances and marveling at its beauty. May God bless you with a purposeful stride and the presence to know when to pause.
{prayers}
Happy in My Own
Dear God, Help me be happy in my own space without always looking for others to fill my lonely place. You, alone, can show me the way to self-fulfillment, I, together with You, will make it happen. Blessed Lord, I thank You for that which I am about to attain.
Intercession
I pray on behalf of those in need. The ones who don’t know You, the ones who need You now. When my prayers are finished, dear God, intercede on their behalf. May my prayers inspire miracles. May my faith reveal the wonders of the world to those who believe them to be concealed. Amen
Early Morning
When I wake — before my day begins, I thank You, my God. Just as You found me worthy to see the sunrise, may I live to see it set. May I be blessed to spend tonight in peaceful slumber and to rise up again tomorrow.
For You, Who I Do Not Know
Dear Friend, I pray for you every day. Though I don’t know your name, I know your heart. You know your prayers, and I know God hears them. Take care, my spiritual sister. Have strength, my beloved brother. I am praying for you.
New Me
Change me, Divine Beloved, into One who is wildly open to the New. Grant me the willingness to experiment and play. Free me from rigid patterns that no longer serve. Let me feel adventurous and spontaneous, knowing that the more I open to life, the more it opens to me.
Tosha Silver
{bible affirmations}
Romans 13:6-7
This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants who give their full time to governing. Give to everyone what you owe them. If you owe taxes, pay taxes. If revenue, then revenue. If respect, then respect. If honor, then honor.
1 John 4:4
You are of God, my child. You shall overcome because God is greater in you than God is in the world.
Ecclesiastes 2:24-25
I decided there is nothing better than enjoying food and drink and finding satisfaction in work. Then, I realized that these pleasures are from the hand of God. For who can eat anything apart from Him?
Psalm 121:5
The Lord himself watches over you. He stands beside you as your protective shade.

Tears are a prayer. God hears them when we don’t know what else to say.
