Beautiful Version
Choose to be the most beautiful version of yourself, inside and out. May God bless you today and always.
Keep the Keys
No one can drive you crazy unless you give them the keys. May you be blessed to be at the wheel of your own journey.
Gentle Waiting
Have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy. May God bless you with a calm and gentle waiting and a satisfying outcome.
Return With Love
Returning love for hatred can often cool the fires of anger. May God bless you to fight hate and turn enemies into friends.
Release It
It’s okay to cry when there’s too much going on in your life. Even the clouds rain when their burden gets too heavy. May God bless you with release.
{prayers}
Guide and Grace
God, I call upon your grace today. Forgive my human failings and help me be a better servant to Your ideals. Rid me of judgy opinions and unfair assessments of others. Open my heart and my mind to accept a person as they are, as You do. Praise to You, my Guide, and my Grace.
Make Me Complete
Good health and wholeness are what I seek. Dear God, cure what ails me, fix what is broken within me, make me complete.
Time of Change
In this time of change, I look for what stays the same. You, dear God, are constant. Amongst my ever-changing, You are never-changing. Always here, always near, always dear. Thank You for Your blessings.
Blinded
I have been ungrateful, ungracious, and I have not been understood. I’ve acted small when I should have stood tall. I became blinded by shiny objects that do not serve You, or me, or my brothers and sisters. Dear God, help me work this out.
Trust the Process
Dear God, help me trust the process. Remind me I am right here, right now, exactly where I am supposed to be. Thank You for the support You provide and the protection I receive.
