{blessings}
Small Acts of Kindness
Lives are changed through small acts of kindness. Be kind to everyone you meet, be kind to all the people you know, and use kindness freely, without judgment. May God bless you with life-changing kindness.
Silent Devotion
Shh. Lower your voice and let your actions speak louder than your words. May you be blessed to serve in silent devotion.
Active Living
Bored? Restless? Unsatisfied? Many of us are. Yet, when you think about what you can do for others, and you go ahead and do it, it all changes. May you be blessed with the sense of contentment that comes from actively living in God’s ways.
Supreme Satisfaction
In an ever-changing world, opportunities change too. God is blessing you with new and exciting options to bring about prosperity, wellness, and a supreme sense of satisfaction. Praise the Lord!
Do it With Pride
Congrats! You’ve got a job. Whatever work you do, do it with pride. Whatever benefits you receive, receive them with humility. May God bless you.
{prayers}
Layers of Protection
Dear God, Place an extra layer of protection on those who can not protect themselves. The very young, the very old, the disadvantaged among us need Your help and mine. Remind me to show compassion and to passionately defend the rights of all Your children who cannot speak for themselves. Praise to You, Divine Protector.
Glory, Glory!
Oh God, the miracles You make, the grace You give, the comfort You extend to me. Glory, Glory Hallelujah!
Lost Soul
I am a lost soul. Squandering time, wallowing in the misery of my own making. Find me and remind me to reconnect with the world You made. Help me form habits that make me happy, productive, and kind. Praise to You dear God, who delivers me from destructive thinking.
My Ideals
Dear God, help me rise to my ideals. Lift up my spirits as You lift me up to my potential. Amen
Patient and Assured
Yes! I am patient, assured, and surrounded by God’s presence. I am secure in the divine aura of protection. I delight in the fruits of labor that sustains me. The love which my God wraps around me. Praise the Lord.
