{quotes}
Anything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never blinks.
If you find yourself shouting to be heard, maybe it’s time to start whispering God’s name instead.
Nothing is too good to be true in your life because God is good and true.
Wake up. Smile. Tell yourself “This is the day the good Lord gave me.”
The future depends on what you do in the present. – Mahatma Gandhi

{blessings}
It’s Not About You
It’s not about you. It’s about One all-knowing, almighty God. Take the focus off your own problems and shine your light on the Lord. Your blessings will multiply.
Magic Prayer Wand
Wave your prayers like a magic wand, bringing hope to the hopeless, friends to the lonely and peace to those experiencing turmoil. May you be blessed with the power of pray and may you use that power for good.
Five Good People
It is said you become the average of the five people you spend the most time with. May you be blessed to be surrounded by five good and Godly people who bring out the best in you.
When You Believe
Imagine how you would feel, if when you woke up you had a guarantee from God that the day would be exciting and filled with favor. May you be blessed with anticipation – make that expectation of a marvelous, magical, wonderful day…the kind that happens when you believe.
Taking Care
It’s often a throw away, a casual comment…take care. Yet, that’s what your life is all about – isn’t it? Taking care of the people you love, taking care of business, and (hopefully) taking care of yourself. You are blessed by the care you take and the care you give. May God continue to reward you with favor as you take care.
{prayers}
Overwhelmed with Gratitude
Dear God, See all that I have. I am overwhelmed by Your generosity. Look at the help I receive. I am overwhelmed by Your goodness. Behold the opportunities and second chances which are mine. I am truly overwhelmed by Your grace. Thank You
Divinely Designed
My God is a God of plenty. I receive all that I desire or require, and more. I am linked with an endless golden stream of prosperity which comes to me under grace in God’s perfect way. All doors fly open for my immediate and endless, Divinely Designed supply. –Florence Scovel Shinn
Vitality
Dear God there is nothing that can tire me. Though my body is weary, my mind does not rest, and my spirit is alive with Your vitality. Thank You for sharing Your Divine endless, energy.
This Day
I offer You this day and all that it brings. I surrender to You and ask You to sanctify every moment, every breath I take, every decision I make and all I think and say. Let the words I speak and the work I do be in praise to You and a help to others.
Heat of Hell
O Lord, there’s a fire burning in my belly; pursuing me, driving me, tempting me. It’s withering my good sense, damaging my resolve, it is singeing my soul. Save me from the heat of hell. Douse the evil flames. Cool me with Your calm.
