A Smile To Those Who Don't Have One



Dear God,

When we don't feel our best,
give us a smile anyway.

Help us to give a smile to those
who don't have one.

Fill us with a joy and a peace
that others can't ignore.

Thanks God.
Amen.

Life Is Not Determined By Circumstances



O God of Freedom,

There are times when we feel like we are "stuck"
and "chained in" when we wish to be free.

We may be chained in, by a chain of circumstances;
Help us learn or remember that our life is not
determined by circumstances,
but by Your vision and our decisions.

We may be chained to habits, compulsions or addictions.
Help us to know that You have already earned our freedom
So that we may begin to discover how to experience it.

Break our chains, O God;
Bless us with freedom today.
Thanks, God.

Amen

Guide Us As We Explore New Frontiers


Dear God,

Sometimes we enter new frontiers because our curiosity draws us.
Sometimes we are pushed into new frontiers:
- by advancing disease,
- by injury,
- by changing abilities,
- even by job changes or a shrinking economy.

Guide us as we explore our new frontiers.
Bless us with curiosity and a sense of wonder.
Bless us with courage and a sense of balance.

Thanks God, for traveling with us.

Amen

Long And Winding Road



O God:

Our path in this life follows a long and winding road;
Some days it seems to follow a lonesome valley.
We cannot see its end, or even where it goes
Beyond the next bend or over the next mountain.

Remind us today, O God, that You have seen this road.
Help us remember three things:
-That you have been here before us,
-That we are not alone; you are with us today, and
-That you traveled this road so that our destination would be sure.

Bless us with this hope today.

Thank You, God.

Amen

What Lies Ahead



Dear God,

When what lies ahead looks dark and bleak,
Remind us that Your cover of protection is
like a hat that shields our head.

When we can't clearly see which way to go,
Reassure us with Your presence.

When we struggle with where we are,
Guide us to a safe place.

Thanks God in Christ's Name we pray.
Amen.

To See A Way Out



Dear God,

Where do we turn when we
don't have any answers?

Help us to see a way out
of the mess we are in.

Keep those we love safe
from all harm or danger.

Point the way out, the way
that we should go.

Thanks God.
Amen.
