Sacred Gifts from God
Dear God, all the people and every thing I value are sacred gifts from You. My heart is filled with gratitude, there is joy in my soul. Thank You for knowing what I need, for carrying me through when I lack, and thank You for this cherished gift of life.
Joy of the Receiver
Dear God, help me give graciously, without hesitation, with zero self-interest. To give for the joy of the receiver. Blessed are we who give and receive.
Temper
Dear God. Help me control my out-of-control temper. Teach me how to restrain my anger and instead respond with patience and kindness. Remind me that words hurt. Let me be a healer, a calming voice, and one who walks away from conflict. Blessed are you who tames the tiger within.
Seeking Calm
It’s calm I seek in my life and in my soul. When there’s conflict or complications, I pray for the way to react peacefully, as You, dear Lord, would have me do.
Rebuilding
Help me rebuild after the setbacks, mistakes, and problems of the past. Day by day, brick by brick, until I build strength and success. Blessed are You, dear God, Master builder.
