{blessings}
Three Feelings
Jealousy, greed, and entitlement are feelings that have no place in a Godly life. May you be blessed with feelings of admiration, generosity and appreciation instead.
Puzzling
If you can trust a puzzle box off the shelf to contain all the pieces to make the picture whole, than you surely you can trust God with the pieces in your life. May you be blessed with wholeness and a very pretty picture of your life.
That Kinda Guy
God is not an “I told you so” kinda guy, He is an “I’ll hold you so” kinda guy. Big difference. May you be blessed by God’s mercy, grace and compassion.
Not Your Burden
Let God take over. Their poor choices do not have to be your burden to bear. May you be blessed with relief from worry, and release from unfair obligation. Don’t be pulled in to something that you can’t fix.
Think Ahead
“Live for today” and “be in the moment” is all well and good. Still, do something today that your future self will thank you for. May you be blessed to think ahead and prepare for your tomorrow.
{prayers}
Life and Peace
Thank You Lord for allowing me to wake to another day of life and peace. May I be safe. May I be happy. May my body be strong. May my life unfold with ease. May I abandon despair and cynicism and treat my fellow humans with loving kindness. Blessed are You God who grants life and peace. – Lanny Waitsman
Child, Be Still
Dear Child, I don’t say today “be strong” I know your strength has left you. I know how heavy is your heart, too much for you to bear, but bear you must and bear you will for I am here to help you. I say to you “be still” my child – pray with me today. Close your tired eyes and let me brace you with devotion. Love, God
Peace Be Mine
Let peace be mine as I move through the day with heart open, mind focused, soul vibrant, living deeply, experiencing life fully, and you – precious God, by my side every step of the way.
Keep Me Humble
Keep me humble. Don’t let it get to my head. Remind me that it all comes from You and I am but Your servant. Bless my hands to reach out. Bless my lips to speak gently. Bless my heart with love and understanding.
See Me Soar
O God. I am grateful for these wings on my back carrying me from place to place propelling me to do good. See me soar. Watch me fly. Guide me to the next destination.
