{quotes}
Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.
C.H. Spurgeon
Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.

Peace of Mind
What’s going on inside you is reflected on your outside. Anger is hard to hide, and so is happiness. May God bless you with peace of mind, and may everyone who sees you be touched by your contentment.
Live Your Gratitude
Gratitude to God transcends language. May you be blessed to give thanks with more than simple words. Live your gratitude and share it with others.
Recognition
Nobody moved your cheese. All the reward you need is within. May you be blessed with self-motivation that comes from the love of God. Eat up! You will never again be hungry for recognition.
Funny Thanksgiving Meal
May your stuffing be tasty, and your turkey be plump, may your potatoes and gravy have nary a lump. May your yams be delicious, your pies take the prize, and your Thanksgiving dinner stay off your thighs. Seriously… all that, and this too: May God bless you on this day, to be surrounded by love and filled with gratitude.
God’s Word
It’s true that the Bible is filled with blessings. Yet, God’s Word is within you, around you, and in all that you see. Contemplate what God is trying to say to you this morning, and you will be blessed.
{prayers}
Kindness Rules
Dear God. Lead the way to peace and tranquility. Bring me to a place where I feel safe. Where kindness rules and all embrace it. Blessed are You, who cares for me.
A New Lord’s Prayer
Dear Father, Who dwells within me, all-knowing are You. Your compassion comes. Your will is done for me as it is for others. Give me this day a chance and a way to be more like You and Your doings. You forgive and console my heart and my soul. You protect and prevent me from harm. Let Your power be mine Your love Divine. I am Yours eternally ever after.
Balanced Life
Dear God, gently bring me back from the brink and help me achieve balance in my life.
Thanksgiving Prayer for All
Dear God, thank You for all of it. The bounty, the scarcity. The highs, the lows. The setbacks, the comebacks. The lessons and the blessings. For everything You bring, and even that which does not come our way, we are forever grateful.
Behold, the Present
I’m on my own, but I’m not alone. Though I look for my soulmate, I embrace the individual I am. Dear God, thank You for the promise tomorrow holds. Blessed is the present that I behold.
