“What a life I would have missed.”

Three readings. A song that says the rest. And inspiration for whatever this day is here to teach.

A Deep Breath Of Life

Alan Cohen

“Spirit of Love, open my heart. Help me to be at peace with all of my relationships. Let me not settle for upset or separation. I want my life to reflect Your love and blessings; to create peace with my loved ones and myself.”

Touchstones Daily Meditations

“When we ignore our feelings and don't reflect on our daily lives, we become weaker and less adequate. Just for today, help me open myself to internal messages and Your window of awareness; to express myself honestly without fear or shame.”

Twenty-Four Hours a Day

Meditation for the Day God takes our efforts for good and blesses them. God needs our efforts. We need God's blessing. Together, they mean spiritual success. Our efforts are necessary. We cannot merely relax and drift with the tide. We must often direct our efforts against the tide of materialism around us. When difficulties come, our efforts are needed to surmount them. But God directs our efforts into the right channels and God's power is necessary to help us choose the right. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may choose the right. I pray that I may have God's blessing and direction in all my efforts for good.
