Week Ending Friday November 21, 2025
{quotes}
Too often, the opportunity knocks, but by the time you push back the chain, push back the bolt, unhook the two locks, and shut off the burglar alarm, it’s too late.
Rita Coolidge
He makes us wait, for He has things to do in our souls that we are not interested in.
Elisabeth Elliot
There are seasons in every country when noise and impudence pass current for worth; and in popular commotions especially, the clamors of interested and factious men are often mistaken for patriotism.
Alexander Hamilton
Many of us bear good fruit, yet it may still be sharp or unripe, good, but not yet gracious, sincere, but not yet sweet.
A. B. Simpson
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Mahatma Gandhi
{blessings}
Presence
May you be blessed to replace pressure with Presence, and receive immeasurably more from God, who transforms lives.
Live Your Best Life
May God bless you with a good start to the day. You see clearly, you’re feeling loved, you know joy, and you are determined to live your best life, starting right now.
Eyes of God
When you gaze upon your surroundings, may you be blessed to see everything through the eyes of God.
Moments Unhurried
I know this world is moving onward in all of the fastest ways, but I hope that you can still find meaning and beauty in things that come together slowly and intentionally. I hope you find the peace you need in moments unhurried, where you are reminded it’s alright to embrace the quieter days of your life.
Morgan Harper Nichols
Best Self
This is your season of change. Don’t be afraid to let go of comfortable when you know it doesn’t serve you. May you be blessed with self-awareness and self-control, so that you may become your best self, the one God intends you to be.
{prayers}
Up, Up, and Away
Help me rise above it all. The pain, the shame, the blame. Give me the inner strength to go high when I am low. To say “Yes!” when faced with “No.” Thank You, dear God, who leads me on my way.
Reflections of Me
Without self-reflection, how can I see You, my dear God? Help me assess the life I am living. By deeds, not looks. By faith, not struggle. Praise to You, my Creator, in whose image I am wondrously and skillfully made.
God Is
Dear God, I love You with mind, body, and soul. With a heart that beats for You and comes from You. You are a brilliant star, a peaceful landscape. You are all. Bless You for blessing me. Thank You for completion.
Beyond the Horizon
I look beyond the horizon to see the possibilities on display. Abundant love. Good fortune, and fulfillment that all comes from You, Dear God.
Faith, Worship & Prayer
Dear God, Now that I have planted these seeds of faith, worship and prayer, let Your sun shine down and Your heavens open so my hopes and dreams will flourish.
{bible}
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You.

Love the Lord your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Fear not, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
