Native American inspired prayer of thanks…

I thank the earth for feeding my body.

I thank the sun for warming my bones.

I thank the trees for the air I’m breathing.

I thank the water for nourishing my soul.

Amen.

God,

I ask you to strengthen my mind, body and spirit.

When I’m weary, may I be refreshed.

When I’m worn, may I be renewed.

When I’m broken, may I be restored.

When I’m fearful, may I become faithful.

I pray that I walk in complete confidence knowing that You are with me.

Amen.

If you believe you have heard from God and He has put you on a path of purpose, directed your actions, or planted a seed in your heart… now is the time to follow through with it. Giving up is not an option.

Heavenly Father,

I thank You for Your promises.

I pray a for tenacity, determination, patience and strength to wait for all the things that You have shown me, to come to pass. 

May my waiting be active and not passive so that I may be doing the things that You require of me to bring my dreams into fulfillment. 

Impart to me a spirit of joy so that I can always wait with hope.

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

Amen

Be with me Lord.

Be the patience when I’m frustrated.

Be the endurance when I am tired.

Be the wisdom when I am uncertain.

Be the inspiration when I’m out of ideas.

Be the peacemaker when I feel hurt.

Be the comforter when I feel overwhelmed.

Be the energy when I am weary.

Be the guide when I am confused.

Be the forgiver when I get it wrong.

Be with me Lord.

Amen.

God,

I want to thank You for being at my side.

I know with You I am prepared and ready for anything that comes my way.

Today is going to be a great day!

Amen.

Dear God,

I want to take a moment and not ask anything of You,
But simply say thank You for the gift of family and friends.
Amen

Prayers and Blessings come in many forms… received an email this morning with a quote of the day and was reminded how special each day is.

“What day is it?” asked Pooh.

“It’s today,” squeaked Piglet.

“My favorite day,” said Pooh.”

– A.A. Milne

God,
Thank You for the gift of today
I am loved.
I am special.
I am living a life of purpose.
Thank You for filling my heart with the hope of tomorrow.
Amen.

God,

Help me to trust and have faith in the path you have created for me.

Help me to see through frustration and reach understanding.

Help me to replace worry with belief,

Help me to transform fear into confidence.

Help me to love others as you love me.

Amen.

To be known, and fully loved is a blessing.

Thank You for all those who see me.

in every season of my journey, never alone, always connected.

Thank You God so much for my family and friends.

Amen.

Recently attended the memorial services for a good friend to bury his ashes. After several months to gather and say good bye to the last of his physical remains was hard. To see his ashes in a box reminded me of my favorite prayer.

Do not put God in a box.

Mandela was in prison before he went on to become president of South Africa.

With God all things are possible.
