Week Ending Friday December 11, 2020
{quotes}
If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “Thank You,” that would be enough.
Meister Eckhart
To let go does not mean to get rid of. To let go means to let be. When we let be with compassion, things come and go on their own.
Jack Kornfield
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
Henry David Thoreau
The world is changed by your example, not your opinion.
Paulo Coelho
Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
Mother Teresa

Ask it Right
There’s one question to ask yourself. “How can I make things better for them?” It’s easy to get it wrong. Too often, people ask, “How can I make it better for me?” May God bless you with thoughts and deeds that focus on others. Begin your prayers today with the right question.
Big Dream
One day you’ll be staring at the blessings you used to dream about. Dream big.
Nobody’s Watching
How do you act when no one is looking? What’s in your heart that you keep secret? May you be blessed with pure thoughts and noble actions. Honor God by showing good character all day today.
Blessings More
May your troubles be less. May your blessings be more. May nothing but happiness come through your door.
Ageless
If you’re feeling old, and you think it’s too late, think again. Achieving your dreams is ageless. May God bless you with big dreams and the will to fulfill them.
{prayers}
Holiness I Encounter
My heart is open. I make way for You, dear God, to move within me. Let nothing stand in the way of complete revival of my spirit. Fill me with awareness. Help me express awe of the holiness I encounter each and every blessed day.
In My Story
Dear God, today I am so thankful that you are not a passive God. You are not a God who stands on the sidelines of my story but you are in every detail, giving me hope when I seem to have lost my own. Thank you for not putting a limit on the wholeness you extend to us. Empower me to step fully into that wholeness, today and every day in the future.
Hannah Brenchner
Spirit and Friendship
Dear God, May I become one in spirit and friendship with all Your creation, together forever, serving You by serving each other.
Receive My Worship
O God, You are the Maker of my heart. Help me move closer to You in devotion and truth. Fill my faith life with gladness and receive my worship as intended, with love and adoration for Your awesome holiness.
Where on Earth
Where on earth would I go to find You, Oh God? Where wouldn’t I go to find You?
