Day 165

God,

Help me to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit.

Deepen my wisdom and discernment regarding my own spiritual life, my marriage, and my relationship with my family.

Allow me to listen carefully without being judgmental.

May I love all those around me as You love me.

Amen.

Day 163

“…just like the sun. It shines on everything all the time. Everything. It doesn’t measure, evaluate, judge and see who’s worthy of sunlight… It’s the nature of God, of the Lord, of the Divine to be that…Love.”

~ Krishna Das

God,

Let me radiate love and compassion to all those around me.

Help me to love others as You love me.

Amen.

Day 161

God,

As I face tough choices and hard situations, help me to always lead with compassion, gratitude and thanksgiving.

Clear my mind of all negative attitudes and doubts.

I know that You are able to do more than I could ever ask, think, imagine, dream or hope for.

With You all things are possible.

Amen.

Day 159

God,

Thank You for today.

Thank You for every gift You’ve given, for every blessing You’ve sent.

Thank You for every challenge that You have helped me through.

Thank You for receiving my prayers.

I know that when I pray and give thanks, I can experience the kind of peace that surpasses all understanding.

Amen.

Day 157

“Prayer… is the breath of the human soul”

One of the things I love about meditation and yoga classes, is how they start with awareness and focus on the simple act of breathing. After 30 seconds of breathing exercises, I immediately feel better, calmer, more relaxed, ready.

I am embarrassed to say that there are days, sometimes weeks that go by, especially when my life is extremely hectic, that I feel like I am forgetting to breathe. My mind and body are racing from task to task, meeting to meeting, call to call.

Just like breathing is essential to the body, prayer is essential to the soul.

God,

Renew my Body, Mind and Soul.

Guide me in my daily activities to always treat others with love and compassion.

Help me to seek, find and listen to those that love and support me.

Amen.
