Day 150

“God loves because of who God is, not because of who we are.”

⁃ Philip Yancey

God,

I know You are with me and receive me, even though there are times I know I am struggling.

I trust in Your presence, Your power, Your goodness, and Your love.

I love You and I trust You,

Amen.

Day 148

“This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.” – Psalm 118:24

True joy is never dependent on our circumstances. And though we may know this in our head, it might be hard to walk out every day. No matter what we face, we can still believe in God’s goodness and love, for that’s what carries us through the most difficult of seasons.

Day 147

It has been a challenging week. “Thank God it’s Friday.”

Dear God,

I ask for Your help with my challenges today. Clear my mind of all negative attitudes and beliefs and cause stillness to overcome me. Let Your Divine love transform concern and fear into peace and calm. Be a harmonizing force within my life. Strengthen me.

Amen

Day 146

To all of the souls that have come before me I am grateful.

To those that have laughed at life’s joys,

Cried at life’s sorrows,

Fought the good fight when necessary,

And been kind and compassionate to those in need.

On behalf of all my brothers and sisters I pray and ask for your help.

Show us the way to take care of our planet and each other.

Amen.

Day 145

God,

Help the recently deceased discover your peace.

Let them receive your comfort.

Help them to be at rest knowing that you care for them,

and that you love them.

Calm their soul as they move into the afterlife.

May they spend eternity with you;

may they live forever in your presence.

Amen.
