{blessings}
Careful What You Pray For
Careful what you pray for. When you pray for something you can’t control, you leave yourself wide open for disappointment. Instead, take control and pray for the strength to make change happen. May you be blessed with prayer that’s beneficial to you, and mindful of earthly limitations.
Selective Vision
Open your eyes wide today, but be selective. May you be blessed to see the good traits of others and not their defects.
Drive it Home
Either you drive the day or the day drives you. May God bless you with a purpose-driven twenty-four hours that brings goodness to everyone you meet.
Here to Stay
Little by little, day by day, the good meant for you will find its way. May you be blessed with a little kindness today and a great big portion of goodness that’s here to stay.
Hang on to Hope
Hang on to your hope, you are about to be blessed with a dream come true.

New Heart and Soul
Thank you, O God, for Your care and protection this day, keeping me from physical harm and spiritual corruption.
