{blessings}
Giving Positively
Happy people are givers and not takers of positive energy. May you be blessed to give positively, live happily, and be Godly.
Honesty
Remember this. A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes. May God bless you with the virtue of honesty.
Always Guiding
Where is God in the good, bad, and ugly things that happen to you? Always blessing you, always guiding you.
Without Limit
God has deposited love, joy, prosperity, peace, laughter, plus all kinds of blessings in your ATM account. Withdraw without limit. Your six-digit pin code is p-r-a-y-e-r.
Seriously
Don’t take yourself too seriously – take God seriously. May you be blessed with reverence for God and light-hearted respect for yourself.
{prayers}
Now More Than Ever
God, I need you now more than ever. Bring clarity to my confusion, joy to my sadness, and peace in my heart. Amen
Niebuhr’s Serenity Prayer
Father, give us courage to change what must be altered, serenity to accept what cannot be helped, and the insight to know the one from the other.
Reinhold Niebuhr
All That Lives
Oh, God! Your good earth is beneath my feet. A blue sky is above, holding Your heavens. There’s a sanctuary within me. It radiates peace and goodwill. Praise to You, of Creator of All that lives, all that is.
Harmony to Us All
I refuse to stress out or worry myself sick about people and things I can’t change or control. My faith remains firm in You, O God, who creates beauty, spreads love, and will bring harmony to us all.
God on Cue
In subtle winds and blinding sunlight, I learn Your secrets dear God. Nature provides the cues I use to get back on the path, to stand straight, and to walk with purpose. I praise and raise my eyes to You, my Maker, with gratitude for Your direction.
