Today I pray...
...for strength to walk on the path where you are guiding me.
...for the calm that comes from knowng that You will never give me more than I can handle.
...for Your protection over my family.
...let them feel Your unconditional love wash over them and fill their hearts with abundant joy.
...for confidence to move in the direction of my dreams -- knowing that you are with me every step of the way.

and You did.
i asked You to light a path for me and You did.
the rain pounded on the roof like hands beating on a steel drum.
steady. certain. rain.
when i realized that You are the one and only rainmaker -- the rain stopped, and the sun shone bright -- and i knew You were still there.
i will never forget today and Your message like a gentle breeze across my face.

at peace
Today I pray...for peace.
Peace within me.
...around me.
...in the home where I hear them yelling.
...and in the home that is totally silent.
Peace for my family.
Peace for the soldiers.
Peace for the people who don't know how to stop fighting.
Use Your Spirit to blow a breeze of peace wherever it's needed.
So that just for a moment the world can be still...

A Simple Prayer
May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be confident knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones,and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.

Courage
...praying hard for the courage to move forward even when people are telling me my dreams are too big.
...praying for the humility to acknowledge that they may be right, but will never know unless I try.
...praying for the persistence to never give up, and keep striving to realize the potential with which I have been blessed.
...please don't leave me walking alone. Without You I am nothing. With You anything is possible.
Help me remember that You haven't merely given me permission -- but You are calling on me to shine.

Remember
I think sometimes in the rush of every day life, we lose sight of what really matters in life. So I thought I'd take a moment to share some simple reminders.
Remember the only one responsible for your happiness is you. It's a decision you make every minute of every day, and every day of your life
Remember that no matter what people say, you will never get where you want to, unless you start moving in the direction of your dreams.
When you're faced with a difficult decision that challenges your values -- remember to make choices you would be proud to share with your kids -- or your mother.
When you make a mistake, remember you are human and forgive yourself.
When someone lets you down, remember they are human too.
And most importantly of all -- Remember that God is walking with you ever step of the way -- whether you ask him to be there or not. So since He's with you, there's no sense walking in silence. Pray.
