Prosperity Blessing
Hang in there, blessings await you. You are not promised a life of leisure or luxury. Yet, God brings peace with your virtue, prosperity within.
Giving to God
Give it to God. Fully release it and don’t hold back. May you be blessed to joyfully let it all go.
Divine Protection
May you be so deeply rooted in God’s plan that even in the midst of disappointment, you feel the Lord’s Divine protection.

Know My Soul
My prayers are not just words. I pray with a longing in my heart, trusting wholly in Your ever-present, ever-lasting love for me. Blessed are You, God, who knows
my soul.
For Beauty
O God, thank You for bold beauty, the works of Your creation that are obvious and out there for pleasure, pure and simple. Blessed are You, who brings delight to my life.
Missing Her
Dear God, heal my broken heart. Ease the pain I feel when I think of her, bursting with life, here by my side, joyful in her love for me. Though I know she is with You, where she belongs, I still miss her.
{bible}
