{quotes}
Ancora Imparo. Still, I am learning.
Michelangelo
Life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you.
Tony Robbins
Spiritual life is not listening to the mumurings of the world, but to that inner voice.

{blessings}
Hurt-Free
This too shall pass. It may feel like you’re passing a kidney stone, but it will pass. May God bless you with courage and patience as you endure the pain to a hurt-free tomorrow.
Noticed
Show your face when it’s easier to hide. Put yourself out there and be bold. May you be blessed to be noticed and may you always notice your blessings.
Winning Spirit
Win as if you are used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change. May God bless you with a winning spirit that simply can’t lose.
Living Faith
It may be distasteful to read a book by someone you disagree with, or to watch a television show with views counter to your own, but when you do, you’re living your faith. May you be blessed with an understanding of different perspectives, and may you be tolerant and compassionate with all God’s children – both odd and familiar.
Unsure
When you’re unsure of what to do next, take your time, contemplate your options, pray for guidance, and ask a trusted friend for advice. May you be blessed to serve God’s purpose.
{prayers}
God Above
God above, bless this week ahead. Watch over me and guide me, protect, and empower me. Hear my prayers and grant me favor. Praised are You, Lord Almighty, the giver of grace.
Creator of Time
God, Thank You for a new month, a new season, and another chance to start anew. Grace me with an appreciation for Your every natural miracle. Help me grow with the changes and go with the opportunities that await me. Praise to You, who spins the earth, creating time.
Refresh My Faith
My heart is broken. The me I once was, is gone forever. Repair this soul which sorrow destroyed. Renew my spirit, refresh my faith, repurpose the life I have left. Praise to you; Oh God, Creator, and Recreator.
Your Miracles
Dear God, I trust in Your timing, I rely on Your promises, and I believe in Your miracles.
Waiting
Dear God, I know in my waiting, You are working. I strive for patience. I long for peace. I look forward to resolution. Amen
