Good Graces
Guilt overwhelms me. I feel small, humbled, and fragile. I need Your support, dear God. Help me repair the damage done. Guide me and bring me back into the good graces of those I hurt. Have mercy on me.
Thank You, Lord
Dear God, You are the provider of all; we are the anxious recipients. I can pray for this and that and ask for help for me and them. But You gave me abilities, talent, and a will to achieve. You gave me desire and a means to acquire the treasures I seek. I thank You, Lord, for who I am and how You made me. I thank You, Lord, for all I have and all that will be. Thank You, Lord.
God’s Wisdom
Precious God, Your teachings are steeped in wisdom and grace with mysterious power to refresh my soul and guide me to a better self.
Blessed Angels
Thank You, God, for the angels in our midst. For the earth angels who serve us as we go about our daily routine. For the celestial angels who swoop down in times of dire trouble. We are filled with awe. Blessed are Your angels, blessed are we, blessed are You, holy King of angels and mortals.
Weekend Catch-Up
It’s been a busy and difficult week. My stress level is high. Thank You, dear Lord, for the gift of weekends when my soul can catch up with my body and my mind can relax.
