Time for Self-Reflection
Time for Self-Reflection
Dear God,
It’s time for self-reflection. Let me examine my deeds clearly, look closely at myself, and improve my ways. I turn to You in repentance. May I be a better human being in the future than I am right now.
Amen
Money Matters
Money Matters
Dear God,
This is the year I will be more responsible about money. I will work hard and work smarter. I will save more and spend less. Neither a lender nor a borrower I will be. I will let money flow through me and see it used to better myself and to make our world a better place.
Amen
The Genuine Article
The Genuine Article
Dear God,
I want to be the genuine article. I don't want to be watered down. Diluted. I want Your strong and pure love to come through me in a genuine way. Genuine love coming through me in a way that will bless others. With a divine sincerity--nothing fake. I pray to become a better person by allowing love to freely flow through me without restriction. Without alteration. As genuine as You are, dear God.
Amen
Stave Off Envy
Stave Off Envy
Dear God,
Stave off my envy. The false belief that life would be better if only… Help me see that everyone has problems and most live with situations that are less than ideal. The satisfaction I crave is right in my own backyard.
Amen
Tolerance and Understanding
Tolerance and Understanding
Dear God,
Remind me to look at every situation from different angles. To stand in the shoes of the stranger and look upon myself critically, so I can change for the better. To view each person with compassion and to react without judgment. May tolerance and understanding be mine.
Amen
Take Care of Your Body
Take Care of Your Body
Dear God,
Now is the time I will be better to my body. I will be careful in my diet, walk more, exercise with regularity, and visit the doctor for check-ups. Thank You God, for the gift of my body, I will care for this amazing network of muscle, bone, fluids and organs that You lovingly made for me.
Amen
The Present Tense
The Present Tense
Dear God,
Help me stay in the present tense today. Keep the past where it belongs. Even the future can be a stumbling block if it slows me down now. There's only so much room in my life for what I need to carry. Allow me to be okay, right where I am, even as I strive to be better. Just once, filter out the static of what was so I can be in this moment.
Amen
