When you are lonely, I pray you feel God's Love.

When you are down, I pray God gives you joy.

When you are troubled, I pray you know God's peace.

When things are chaotic, I pray you are given inner silence.

When things look empty, I pray you know hope in Jesus.

The sun is shining it is a beautiful day

Bad thoughts have vanished and pleasant ones stay

A day of happiness a day full of smiles to think of loved ones across the miles.

The grass so green the sky so blue

Just look outsid and see what God has done just for you.

Prayers can't be answered unless they are prayed.

There can't be a harvest unless you plant seeds.

You must have a contest or nobody will win and games can't be won unless they are played!

You must have a goal to succeed in the life and what better goal could you have than to know Jesus Christ.

So if something is wrong with your life today, you will find an answer if you kneel down to pray.

Not for health, enjoyment, honors, or wealth, but pray for gladness and understanding and Jesus will answer all the rest.

I am hoping that this day will bring much happiness to you. That you will find the very best in all you say and do.

This day I hope will bring a smile to you, my special friend. And you will be blessed with all good things that Our Father in Heaven shall send.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet.

Enough trials to make you strong.

Enough sorrow to keep you human.

Enough hope to make you happy.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens but often we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one, which has been opened for us.

There's a wonderful peace in just knowing that God never leaves us alone and whether we feel He is with us or not He loves us and calls us His own.

His word is our hope and our comfort. A refuge when life brings our way, those times we need wisdom and guidance and strength to sustain us each day.

To others as you pass their way and help you guide them on this day and bring you peace, and joy, and love and more sweet blessings from above.

Teach Me To Pray

Please teach me, Lord..I want to know exactly how to pray. I need some words. Which ones are right? Please tell me what to say.

I've bowed my head, I have knelt down, but should I be upright? I've closed my eyes, I've raised my hands, or should I fold them tight?

Do I stand up? Should I sit down? Dear Lord what do You like? Are lights turned on or are they off? Maybe candle light?

What do You think about the time? Do You prefer the dawn? Should I pray fast, or keep it slow? Better short or long?

I'm new at this what are the rules? I want to do it right. How do I know You'll even hear, that I am in Your sight?

And while I sat there quietly, waiting for some sign, I heard a gentle voice say. "Oh dearest child of mine, do you think I really care about the time of day, or wheter you are standing up, or kneeling when you pray?"

I have no other rules, tell Me what is in your heart, and tell Me what you seek. Tell Me of your sorrows and of those things that made you weak.

Speak to Me in private, about what concerns you most, I know about your good deeds, you have no need to boast. My child you don't need lessons, just talk to me each day. Tell Me anything you want, dear child, anyone can pray.

Ways to take care of our soul.

Look for your Guardian Angel.

Take long walks and let your instincts lead the way.

Wish on falling stars.

Sing a song.

Buy something new.

Rediscover something old.

Go to bed early, wake up late.

Wear your favorite jammies to dinner.

Call an old friend, make a new one.

Indulge in simple pleasures of the heart.
