To Grow Healthy And Holy




Dear God,

Take the hurriedness out
of our lives.


It is when we tarry that
we touch the holy.


Help us take the time today to
grow healthy and holy.

Thanks God.
Amen.

For The Beauty



Dear God,

Thanks for the beauty that
comes after the blizzards.

Make us whiter than snow
inside and out.

Help us to see beyond the
mountains that block our path.

Thanks God.
Amen.

In Your Plan




Dear God,

Instead of asking You to
Wash our plans,
Today, we ask that You
Include us in Your plan.


Remind us that You always
Know what's best.

Thanks God.

Shelter To Protect Us




Dear God,

Even in the middle of winter
Give us a small shelter to
Protect us from life's storms.


Grant us an attitude of gratitude.
Because an unthankful heart
Discovers no mercies.

So, thanks God for today's blessings.
Amen.

Mend us, heal us, and

With Warmth And Toughness




Dear God,

When the blizzard is past
Protect us from the cold
That lingers behind.

Toughness of a buffalo robe
To protect us from harm.


Fill our day with the
Hope and Joy of
Your Spirit.

Thanks God.
Amen.

Provide A Place




Dear God,

When winter brings the snow
And freezing temperatures,
Remind us that the cold can
Provide a place to walk,
That in warmer times isn't possible.

Thanks God.
Amen.
