Week Ending Friday May 24, 2019
{quotes}
The answer you seek is hiding in plain sight.
Right now it’s like this. Later it will be different. Always it is about the good.
Prayer does not equip us for greater works, prayer is the greater work.
Oswald Chambers
It’s hard to hate up close. Go to your enemy with an open heart, and ask to understand.
The depths of the self are the heights of God.
James Finley
Do the right next thing.
{blessings}
Steeped in God
May you be blessed to steep yourself in God-reality, God-initiative, and God provisions.
Distraction
Don’t try to distract distraction. Pay attention to what it’s trying to tell you. May you be blessed with awareness of God’s subtle messages and appreciation for all the ways in which the good Lord works.
Pride in You
Appearances matter. Take care of yours. May God bless you with the good sense to dress appropriately and to take pride in the outer you, as well as the inner you.
Much Better
It may feel like your present unpleasant situation is going to last forever. Yet, it’s only temporary. There will come a day when you are in a better place, and you are a better person for having lived through the experience of being there. May God bless you in your transition to something much better.
Good Life
Living the good life is a way of living, not the outcome of a successful career, or a financial windfall. When the “things” you want aren’t material objects, that’s when it all begins. May you be blessed with a simple life, a life of inner gain, a good life.
{prayers}
My Place
Dear God, Give me energy to do my work with joy, never tiring, never forgetting my goals and always remembering my place here on Earth; to live in peace to live in love, and to serve You. Amen
Loving Thee
Dear God, I cannot love Thee the way I want to. You are the slim crescent of a moon that I see and my self is the earth’s shadow that keeps me from seeing all the moon. Please help me to push myself aside.
At Peace
Lord, May I be at peace. Let all that works within me and all that functions about me, be in harmony. Amen
Godly Reminder
God, Remind me to be grateful. Give me a nudge when I take the people I love for granted. Shine Your light oh so brightly when I fail to see the opportunities that are mine each day. Reach in to my body to touch my soul and I will never forget that it is You who provides for my every need.
God’s Beautiful Reflection
Lord teach me to handle disappointment with a loving spirit towards those who let me down. Help me to be stronger, wiser, and more kind in my interactions with others. Show me how to be Your beautiful reflection unto the world. Amen
