Today’s Reflection:  Healing

Lord, as I navigate the storms of life, I acknowledge the challenges and difficulties I face. I ask for your guidance and strength to help me weather these turbulent times. May you bring peace and calm to my heart, and may I find solace in your presence.  Bodmin Hermit, based on Psalm 107:29

Today’s Reflection: A Prayer to Heal Stress 

Loving God, please grant me peace of mind and calm my troubled heart. My soul is like a turbulent sea. I can’t seem to find my balance so I stumble and worry constantly. Give me the strength and clarity of mind to find my purpose and walk the path you’ve laid out for me. I trust your Love, God, and know that you will heal this stress. Just as the sun rises each day against the dark of night. Please bring me clarity with the light of God.
In your name I pray. — Author Unknown

I am filled with gratitude

Looking forward

And looking within

Today’s Reflection: Disturb us, Lord, when
We are too well pleased with ourselves,
When our dreams have come true
Because we have dreamed too little,
When we arrived safely
Because we sailed too close to the shore.

Disturb us, Lord, when
With the abundance of things we possess
We have lost our thirst
For the waters of life;
Having fallen in love with life,
We have ceased to dream of eternity
And in our efforts to build a new earth,
We have allowed our vision
Of the new Heaven to dim.

Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly,
To venture on wider seas
Where storms will show your mastery;
Where losing sight of land,
We shall find the stars.

We ask You to push back
The horizons of our hopes;
And to push into the future
In strength, courage, hope, and love. — Attributed to Sir Francis Drake, c. 1577

Today’s Reflection: Talk with God,
no breath is lost.
Walk with God,

Trust in God,
You will never be lost. — Unattributed.
