{blessings}
Alignment
If you’re waiting for the stars to align, or if you’re putting it off until the time and place are just right, it won’t happen. The right time is the present time, where you’re at now is the right place to be, and by the grace of God, the stars are aligned. May you be blessed to start doing what it takes to get what you’ve always wanted.
No Permission Required
The question shouldn’t be, Who’s going to let me? Instead, say it loud and say it proud; Try and stop me! May God bless you with bold determination to do your thing and do it well. Sometimes it’s better to beg for forgiveness later than ask for permission first.
Positive Vision
What you see is what you look for. May God bless you with positive vision. May you see the good in humankind, the wonder of God’s green earth, and the spectacular future laid out before you.
Purity
First and foremost, take care of the purity of your soul. Let no corruption seep through your skin, nor bitterness wear away at your spirit. May God bless you with untainted faith.
Open Up
For something good to come to you, it’s going to have to come through you. May God bless you with an open heart, an accepting spirit, and may you say “welcome in” to all the goodness coming your way.
{prayers}
Heavy Release
It’s as if there is a mass of negative thoughts swirling around inside my head. My stomach aches with worry over things I can not control. Only You have the power to change hearts and minds. I pray for a future of right decisions, untiring strength, and sound health of mind and body for the people I love. My prayer releases the heaviness I hold as I turn it over to You, Mighty God.
Newness Every Morning
Holy One, thank You. Every morning You bring new hope, new opportunities, and new horizons to reach. Let this day be mine. Help me grab it with gusto. Don’t let me squander the newness of life’s daily cycle.
Sweet Lord Above
Lord, in the little things I pray, the often unnoticed things each day. May my searching end for what is not there, and may I find contentment everywhere. Accept my thanks, my praise, my love, be with me always sweet Lord above.
Ever Hopeful
Thank You God. I am facing a challenge. I’m growing a little smarter, stronger, and more grateful. Until it’s over remind me; stay firm in my faith, be ever hopeful, deal with discouragement bravely. Praise to You who allows me the sweet taste of overcoming.
An Understanding
Thanks to You my dear God, You answer my prayers, You promise me a life worth living, You cover my world in beauty. Nothing comes between us – You and I, we have an understanding.
