Still

My eyes are tired
from trying to see
in the darkness

My ears are ringing
from trying to hear
over the boom of life

I'm laying down my head
to close my eyes
and rest
And turn down the volume
around me

When the time is right
for me to set out along
the path

Please help to light my way
please help me hear the melody
that You're playing

And I will move
with You
towards the celebration



Today I Pray...

...for a quiet moment

...to connect with You

...to speak to You

...to hear You

...to fully put my trust

...in You


"Be still, and know that I am God."
Psalm 46:10

Kisses from Heaven

A midday walk
under sunny skies

And as I look
at my world

All I feel are
kisses from heaven







Today I Pray...

...for the joyful heart
and uplifted spirit
that comes
from knowing

...that God has given me
permission to shine

Stay Positive

Today I Pray...

...in quiet simplicity

...help me to keep my head up

...and stay positive

Give me grace to stand tall
even if others try to knock me down

And if You could

...please give me a sign

It needn't be much

...just something
for me to hang on to



No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead. Philippians 3:13

For You

As sure as the sun rises
This prayer is for you

Thank you for being here

For tuning in
and standing close

Sharing yourself
so that I'm not standing here
Exposed
Afraid
...and Alone

I am forever grateful

...for you



Today I Pray...

...for you

May your days be filled with peace
Your life abundant with joy

May you look around
And appreciate the beauty

And know exactly where to turn
If you lose your way

Thank you
for helping me be a better person

Thank you
for being my friend

Be My Guide

Following carefully
As you light each step

We've come so far
But I suddenly feel
Very afraid

Like I'm standing in darkness
And the path has disappeared
Leaving scattered stepping stones
In a swirling stream

I know You are with me
But I can't hear you
Over the rushing waters

I don't know
Where we're going
Nor do I know my way back
From where we came

Please don't let go
of my hand

Forever be
my Guide



Today I Pray...

...for open ears to hear You

...for Your light on the Path

...for inner peace that comes
from putting my trust in You

"Behold the rainbow! Then bless its Maker, for majestic indeed is its splendor." Sirach, 43: 11
