Rising to the Occasion
Dear God, Show me the way to lead, to stand tall in a crowd without being stand-offish. Help me relate to others who may not share my views. Allow me to stay humble while rising to the occasion. Blessed are You, O Lord, who guides me.
Harmony and Order
Thank You, dear God, for the order and harmony in my life. And when a discordant note is struck, may I retain my balance, deal with the intrusion patiently until the balance is mine once more.
New Affirmation
I pay homage to a new day and a new attitude. This day will not repeat yesterday’s failings. I think positively. I thank God consistently. I own my possibilities. Praise to You, dear God, for today and forevermore.
Road Ahead
When I can’t see the road ahead, I trust in You. When I can’t take the next step, I rely on You. When I am discouraged, depleted, and lacking in hope, it’s always my faith in You, dear God, who lifts me up and brings me to where I am meant to be.
Family Protection
Dear God, Protect our family. Keep them safe, healthy, and whole in mind, body, and spirit. Thank You for all the good we are about to receive. Praise to You, O holy One.
