Summer’s End
Dear God, as the summer slowly slips away, I thank You. For memories of walks under a blue sky with glorious sunshine warming my face. For moments of pause, when I am at my leisure, reflecting on the world around me. Blessed are You, who brings on the seasons.
Sunset Prayer
At the end of the day, may I be able to say, I gave You, O Lord, my very best. Help me to be kind. Teach me to stay calm. Fill me with unselfish generosity. Praise to You, Creator of the ever-rising and setting sun.
Be with the Children
Dear God, be with the children to guide and inspire them. Make Your ways known to them; the believers, the doubters, the schemers, and the ones who patiently wait for You. Blessed are You, Father God, who mothers the young.
Beauty to Life
Dear God, let beauty surround me in all that I see. Open my heart to the bright side, where goodness resides and hate can not hide. Blessed are You who brings beauty to life.
Make it Better
Dear God, why me? How can I make it better? Where do I go from here? Thank you for the answers I am about to receive.
