{blessings}

Life with Beauty
Fill your life with beauty, one prayer at a time. May you be blessed with a spirit that moves you.

Outward Focus
Is the mirror working against you? You could be a better believer if you spent less time focusing on yourself. God made you with eyes that look outward so you can see others. God did not give you eyes that see inward. May you be blessed with an outward-focused vision that sees others as God intended.
Kenan Bresnan

No Solicitation
Don’t sit in prayer, soliciting what you want. Let God send you what you need. May you be blessed with the gift for patient waiting.

Leave it Behind
Resentment leads to bitterness. You can choose to let it define you, confine you, or you can leave it behind you. May you be blessed to move on from all that holds you back.

All You Need
When God is all you have, then you have all you need. May you be blessed by your abundance.

{prayers}

Spiritual Teacher
Dear God, Help me grow. Send me a spiritual teacher, a person of deep faith, wise and compassionate, who listens to my questions and hears my yearnings. Send me a sign when our paths cross, and I will, at last, find the peace I seek. Amen

While They Wait
O Lord, hear the pleas of the sick and lonely. Those shrouded in darkness, struggling to see the light. Your children need to feel You and know relief. Send an angel. While they wait – I pray.

New as Creation
Dear God, I am new as creation. You refreshed me with sleep last night. This morning, I begin a day that has never happened before. Oh, the excitement! Oh, the potential! Oh, the opportunity to do it better! Praise to You, Oh God, who renews me. Amen

For Our Leaders
Dear God, Open the hearts and minds of our leaders. Help them make good decisions that bring about positive change for us all. May the righteous be strengthened, and those with evil intent and personal gain be diverted and shown the path to greater good.

My Blessed Lot
I give thanks before You, Lord my God, that You have placed my lot among those who are blessed. I have food to eat, a roof over my head, and the freedom to go and do as I please. I am free to worship, free to love, and I am far away from war and destruction. Praise to You, who gave me life, here and now, and forever after.
