“In between laughter, anger and sadness, I was not alone, and we said a prayer.”

If the Creator of the Universe took a day off to rest, certainly you and I can! The cycle of activity and rest is as natural as day and night, as colorful as the seasons and as vital as breathing. If you are always on the go, stopping to catch your breath will only empower you. Effective resting is an art that truly successful people have mastered. Today, I pray to be renewed by the breath of life You give me. Help me to step back and allow You to be reborn in me, that I may be reborn in the world.

May I remember constantly that it is my belief in my Higher Power that flips the switch to release the power in me. Whenever I falter in my faith, that power is shut off. I pray for undiminished faith, so that this power - given by my Higher Power and regenerated by my belief and faith - may always be available to me as the source of my strength.

Meditation for the Day “I fail not so much when tragedy happens as I did before, by all the little things I might have done, but did not do. I must prepare for the future by doing the right thing at the right time now. If a thing should be done, I should deal with that thing today and get it righted with God before I allow myself to undertake any new duty. I should look upon myself as performing God's errands and then coming back to Him to tell Him in quiet communion that the message has been delivered or the task done. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may seek no credit for the results of what I do. I pray that I may leave the outcome of my actions to God.”
