Affirmations, Blessings, Prayers and Inspired Ideas for Life's Journey
O my God, O my Lord, O my Master!
I beg Thee to forgive me for seeking any pleasure save Thy love,
or any comfort except Thy nearness,
or any delight besides Thy good-pleasure,
or any existence other than communion with Thee.
– The Báb

Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer.
Many are asking, “Who can show us any good?”
Let the light of your face shine upon us, O Lord.
You have filled my heart with greater joy
than when their grain and new wine abound.
I will lie down and sleep in peace,
for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
– Psalm 4:1, 6-8, NIV

Do not look forward to what might happen tomorrow. The same everlasting Father who cared for you today will care for you tomorrow and every day. Either he will shield you from suffering or he will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations.
– St. Francis de Sales

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside still waters;
He restores my soul.
He leads me in right paths
for His name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I fear no evil;
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff –
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
my whole life long.
– Psalm 23, ESV

Heavenly Father, You are my rock and my fortress. It is within You I find the answer to my every need. I praise You for You are the one who moves mountains and walks on water.
I believe with all my heart and soul that You can calm the rough seas of debt in my life. You desire to be my ever-present help in times of trouble, all kinds, even in the depths of financial dispair. You are aware of every part of my financial situation. You see my material needs today. You see my lack of money and my debt.
Lord, you see my mind and emotions filled with the heavy burdens of unpaid bills, and the struggles I am facing. Heavenly Father, you see it all. Nothing has escaped your gaze, and I know You are watching over me. I come to You asking for You to bring Your loving intervention into my finances. Show me how to get out
of every financial struggle in my life. Teach me how to bring my finances into a healthy place. Guide me in each financial decision that I make today, tomorrow, and always. Give me a vision of debt- free living that will motivate me, and propel me to that blessed place of financial peace that I know is possible. Father, thank you for every good gift You give to me. Amen..

There is an Eye that never sleeps,
beneath the wind of night.
There is an Ear that never shuts,
When sinks the beam of light.
There is an Arm that never tires,
When human strength gives way.
There is a Love that never fails,
When earthly loves decay.
– George Mathewson

Our attitude to all men would be Christian if we regarded them as though they were dying and determined our relation to them in the light of death, both of their death and our own.
A person who is dying calls for a special kind of feeling. Our attitude to him is at once softened and lifted onto a higher plane. We can then feel compassion for people whom we do not love. But every man is dying, I too am dying and must never forget about death.

When I despair,
I remember that all through history
the ways of truth and love have always won.
There have been tyrants, and murderers,
and for a time they can seem invincible,
but in the end they always fall.
Think of it—always.
– Mahatma Gandhi

Dance, when you’re broken open.
Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance, when you’re perfectly free.
