{prayers}
Rhythm of Contentment
Today and always, save a place for me in Your Divine order. Hold me in the rhythm of a contented life. Grace me with good health. If it be Your will, let me live in a state of abundance. I thank You, dear God, for Your endless love, my family, my friends, and all good people everywhere.
Upward Glance
Prayer is the burden of a sigh, the falling of a tear, the upward glance of an eye when none but God is near. Prayer is the simplest form of speech that an infant’s lips can try the most sublime strains that reach the Majesty on High.
John Montgomery
Soul’s Desire
You hear my soul’s desire, sometimes spoken, sometimes felt. You know my needs. You recognize truth from my own distorted view of reality.
Restrain Gossip
Dear God, Help me restrain my urge to gossip. Bring only positive thoughts to my mind and positive words to these lips You made. May gratitude and wonder overcome me, and let Your holiness become me.
Love, Honor, and Adore
God. I will not criticize Your work today by judging myself. Instead, I humbly ask that You make any changes in me that You see fit, and I will love, honor, and adore whatever remains. From this day on, I will not be tempted by anyone or anything to abuse or dishonor myself. I will treat myself as a vessel of the living spirit of Your love.
