{blessings}
Love and Be Loved
Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. May you be blessed to love and be loved.
Peace With Your Past
Make peace with your past. May you be blessed to move toward the future without old and tired, worn-out mistakes holding you back.
Intimacy of Prayer
It’s okay to get angry with God. You can vent, and God can take it. May you be blessed to express your feelings in the intimacy of prayer and receive comfort from your Protector.
Blessed with Yes!
When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer. May God bless you with Yes!
You are Invited
You will receive a personal invitation from God today. It won’t be tweeted, posted, or mailed. Instead, you’ll find it wrapped in grace and placed in your prayer corner. You are invited to be kind, help others, and live God’s Holy Word. May you be blessed to accept the Divine invite, and to always enjoy God’s grace, and life’s pleasures.
{prayers}
I Have
I have loved, blessed, and grown. I raise up, speak positively, and cultivate the truth. I am enthusiastic, creative, comforting, supportive, and respectful. I will always show mercy, work towards justice, and repair the world. Praise God, who gives me strength and energy to contribute fully to humankind and to my own betterment.
I Choose My Moments
Lord, Thank You for this wide-open day to make mine! This day may not be all play. I still have work to do and responsibilities to honor — but the day belongs to me. Today, I choose my moments. Thank You for reminding me that I belong to myself as much as I belong to anyone else. Thank You for the incomparable honor of belonging first and foremost to You. Amen
She’s Waiting
Dear God, She is in need. Her pain is deep and overshadows her entire being. She’s waiting for release. She’s praying for a change. It’s a new day. Make her whole and happy again.
More Times Like This
Please, God, more of this. More sunshine and stars. More gentle winds. More love and laughter. More affection. More times like this communing with You and feeling peace within.
Amazing Works
God Almighty, we live moment by moment to glorify Your amazing works. Hallelujah! Thank You for purpose, pride, and gainful employment. Bless the unsung heroes of the workforce, who labor unseen and underappreciated. Bless those who seek labor and have yet to find it. Bless those who are infirm and cannot work. We are thankful for Your protection, We raise our collective voice in praise to You, Maker of the Universe.
