{quotes}
I’m not claiming to be holier than others. I am simply a person who has received God’s grace, somehow.
Maya Angelou
The whole world is a narrow bridge, and the most important part is not to be afraid.

{prayers}
Distracted
Dear God. I come to You weak and distracted. I need Your strength and direction to meet the day with a Godly focus and the ability to carry on.
Teach My Heart
God, teach my heart this day where and how to see You, where and how to find You. You have made and remade me. You have bestowed on me all the good things I possess, and still I do not know You. I have not yet done that for which I was made. St. Anselm
Heal a Broken World
Dear Lord, I can’t heal this broken world today, but I can begin the process with prayer. That humankind will be kinder, that fairness will be parsed out equally, and that my heart will be filled and refilled with compassion.
First Thoughts
You are my first thoughts in the morning and my last conversation each night. You are confidante and teacher. I look forward to the time set aside for prayer and all the random moments You appear. Thank You, God.
Appreciate the Beauty
Dear God, lead us thoughtfully through this day. Remind us to pause, to notice our surroundings, and to appreciate all the beauty You have set before us.
