{quotes}
Tenacity gets you where you want to go, and gratitude keeps you from being angry along the way.
Henry Winkler
Not all those who wander are lost.
J.R.R. Tolkien
We need more thoughts and prayers. Thoughts for our political opponents: recognition that while we disagree, they are our fellow Americans; understanding that the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States can hold only if we treat each other as friends, not enemies; realization of the fact that speech is not violence, and that we must, as Americans, speak with each other. And we need prayers: prayers for our country, which is torn apart, under attack from within and without; prayers for our own souls, that we hold ourselves accountable for the way we treat others.
Ben Shapiro

My Brilliant Future
God. Help me deal with my thoughts properly. Fill my mind with a brilliant future. A future held by You, transformed with the sowing of right thinking. Thinking that comes from You. amen
Moral Strength
Dear God, if You love me, then what I am is special. If You believe in me, then what I am is capable. If You respect me, then what I am is worthy. Praise and thanks I give to You, Who graces me with moral strength.
Pure Intentions
Dear God, when I am harsh, soften my rough edges. Help me clean up when I mess up. Though I may be imperfect, my intentions are pure, and my soul awaits the coming together of it all for good.

Three Questions
Who am I? Why am I here? How shall I live? May you be blessed with wisdom as you find the answers you seek.

Good friends are like quilts – they age with you, yet never lose their warmth. May your friends bring you comfort, companionship, a few laughs and support when you need it. May your spirit be enhanced by the inspiration of a kindred soul. May you be blessed by the company you keep.
Cleaned Out
Problems are like washing machines. They twist, spin, and knock us around, but with God’s grace, we come out cleaner and brighter.
{bible}
Joy and gladness will be found there. Songs of thanksgiving will fill the air.

Bend down O Lord and hear my prayer. Answer me, for I need Your help. Protect me, for I am devoted to You. Save me, for I serve You and trust You. You are my God.
