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.

Day 154

The Prayer for Today

Just for today, help me, God, to remember that my life is a gift,
that my health is a blessing, that this new day is filled with awesome potential,
that I have the capacity to bring something wholly new and unique and good into
this world.

Just for today, help me, God, to remember to be kind and patient to the
people who love me, and to those who work with me too. Teach me to see all the
beauty that I so often ignore, and to listen to the silent longing of my own soul.

Just for today, help me, God, to remember You.

Let this be a good day, God, full of joy and love.

Amen

Day 151

Isaiah 43:18-19 – Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

God,

I thank You that throughout the seasons of life, there are endings and new beginnings.

I thank You for the things that have ended in my life and I bless you for new beginnings.

Amen.
