Color-Kissed Moments
There’s a lot of jelly beans to be counted when you’re contemplating a sweet life. So many flavors filled with delightful surprise! May God bless you with countless bursts of happiness and an endless array of color-kissed moments.
Dare to Do It
When something seems too difficult, dare to do it anyway. God is blessing you with an opportunity.
Fullness of Love
May you be blessed with a fullness of love so enormous, that even if they take and take from you, your soul remains overflowing.
Necessities
Food, shelter, and clothing are the basic necessities for life. But without faith, hope, and prayer, you are merely surviving. May you be blessed with a full life; rich in earthly pleasures and abundant in spiritual wealth.
Beautiful You!
Oh beautiful you! God loves you. May you be blessed to love yourself.
{prayers}
Mates and Matches
Lord, let all who are lonely find their mate. Intervene. Would be friends, lovers, future husbands, wives, and partners, are out there, each waiting to meet the other. There’s a lid for every pot. Let their paths cross. Create the perfect setting, match them up. amen
Loving Care
I begin this prayer with a grateful heart. In darkness I see Your light. When I am down You lift me. When I am tired You allow me rest. In pain, You heal. From confusion You bring clarity. Praise to You God who blesses me
with loving care.
Unfailing Belief
God, I have unfailing belief in Your loving strength. It empowers me to keep going, to get past fatigue, to rise above difficulty. With Your divine help, I find the will and the way to give my best to every project and each undertaking. Thank You for my energy today.
Empathy
Their pain is my pain. Their joy is my joy. Sensitivity is my gift. Praise God who made me with empathy.
Before
Lord, before I knew You I didn’t know what it was like to smile for no reason. Quick to judge, slow to forgive, impatient and ungrateful. Praise to You who teaches me, tends to me, and makes me better.
