Courage

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

Understanding

 

 

I open to spiritual understanding.

If I face a relationship challenge, I may wonder, Why is this happening? Why do others act as they do? But judging others’ behaviors and motives will not bring me deep understanding. I could ask instead, How can I open my heart? What is mine to do?
I pray for understanding and for intuition to recognize what might be lying beneath the surface. I trust the wisdom and guidance I receive. I open my heart and mind to seeing my loved one from a new perspective. As I listen to their views, empathize with them, and “walk a mile in their shoes,” I am able to more fully understand my loved one—and myself. Understanding builds a bridge and brings peace to my relationships.

Every Life Experience Has A Purpose

I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose. There are no accidents; we're all teachers - if we're willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn,trust our positive instincts and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door. ~Marla Gibbs~ (www.brainyquote.com)

Gratitude

"Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer.

And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome good."

 

~Maya Angelou~

Jesus Is A Kind Friend to All of Us

Everyone needs a true friend in their life, to help celebrate the good times and be there for the bad times. Friends, however, sometimes fall short of our expectations and we soon experience the pain of disappointment. Just remember, we do have a kind friend in Jesus always. He is the most perfect and kind friend to have in one's life. We need not look any further, Jesus loves us all unconditionally.

Be Blessed
 

An Emotional Heart

Dear Lord,

As I come to you today, I thank you for hearing my prayer when my heart is full of pain and emotions. Thank you father for holding me in the times when I feel lonely and cleansing my heart.  You have always been the one to catch my tears and turn them into joy. Even when I am not at my best you take my burdens and show me unconditional love in all aspects of my life. For that I am grateful. Amen

Be Blessed.

Grace

Lord, over and over I have seen You work. It is Your sweet, pure grace regardless of how I mess things up or fail. Your grace redeems the bad days and gives me energy to walk into to good days. Your grace is full of love. Thank you. Amen

(Boomerang Joy by Barbara Johnson)

Believe In Yourself

Believe in yourself and in your dream .Through impossible things may seem. Someday, somehow you'll get through to the goal you have in view. Mountains fall and seas divide before the one who in their stride takes a hard road day by day.  Believe in yourself and in your plan say not, I cannot, but I can. The praises of life we fail to win , because we doubt the power within.

 ~ Unknown Confederate Soldier~

Time

Time has been transformed, and we have changed; it has advanced and set us in motion; it has unveiled its face, inspiring us with bewilderment and exhilaration. ~Khalil Gibran~

A Prayer For Loving Families

Dear Father, You teach us that we are to love one another unreservedly. The love You give us for others goes beyond our own natural inclinations. It is a love that motivates us to give without expecting anything in return. More often than not we fall short of extending this kind of love to our spouse and other loved ones. Only with Your continued help can we set aside our own expectations and learn to love the way You intend by always protecting, always trusting, always hoping, and always persevering with those You’ve brought into our lives. Amen.     ~Bible Verse ~

A Prayer of Forgiveness

Dear Lord,

Please help me to open my heart and soul to forgive those that have hurt me or have taken a loved one from me for reasons, I do not understand. Help me be patient with myself, and my emotions to take one day at a time to forgive and continue to believe in your love and grace. Stand beside me, guide me and continue to rule my heart with love and peace. I thank you for helping me in my time of need to have the strength and wisdom to forgive them.  Amen

Be Inspired

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bounds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world...and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.  ~Patanjali~

A Prayer for Personal Responsibility

Father, all that we have is a gift from You, including that which comes to us through the work of our hands. You provide for us as you see beforehand all that we have need of. We’re confident that You bless people who work by the sweat of their brow, responsibly caring for those in their charge. For some who have lost their jobs and fear that their home or life savings is in jeopardy we pray that You would open a door of gainful employment. Until then it is reassuring to know that Your daily provisions come in the most unexpected ways when it is not within our own ability to earn an income. Help us to remember that no matter what our circumstance we are entirely reliant on Your benevolent kindness to us. Amen.

 ~Bible Verse~

Irish Blessings

"May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day. May songbirds serenade you every step along the way. May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue. And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through. " ~Irish Blessings Quotes~ (www.thinkexist.com)


 

For Love

O Lord, you have brought all your faithful people into a single, universal family, stretching across heaven and earth. Bind us together with a spiritual love which is stronger than any human love, that is in serving one another we may count neither the cost nor seek reward, but think only of the common good.

( The Harper Collins  Book of Prayers compiled by Robert Van de Weyer - Mozarabic Sacrmentary)

Faith

  

As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit.

Emmanuel Teney (www.brainyquote.com)

Differculties

When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time. ~Saint Francis de Sales~

Relationship

A great relationship is about two things: Appreciating the similarities, and respecting the differences....
