Father and lover of life,
you know the depths of my innermost self,
and you understand me.
You protect me on every side,
shielding me from all harm.
When you put me together
in my mother’s womb,
you knew all about me.
I thank you for the wonder of myself,
and I stand in awe
at all that you have made.
As you know and love me,
so may I come to know and love you.
Guide me in your ways.
(NH: based on Ps 139)

Transform, Lord, my weakness and poverty

http://www.animated-gifs.eu/animals-...ishes/0019.gif

Look, Lord,
on an empty vessel that needs to be filled.
In faith I am weak - strengthen me.
In love I am cold - warm me and make me fervent
so that my love may go out to my neighbour.
I doubt and am unable to trust you completely.
Lord, strengthen my faith and trust in you.
You are all the treasure I possess.
I am poor, you are rich,
and you came to have mercy on the poor.
I am a sinner, you are goodness.
From you I can receive goodness,
but I can give you nothing.
Therefore I shall stay with you.
(Martin Luther)

Hebrews 4:16
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Lord we pray for your grace and mercy in today.

In busy days of noise and action

http://www.animated-gifs.eu/phone-24...owers/0427.gif

We read in the Gospel, Lord,
that you went away to lonely places to pray.
In my busy days of noise and action,
remind me of my need
for time alone
and for peace and quiet
and silence within.
Be with me now
as I pause for a few moments in quietness.

John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

Lead me this day, Lord,
to live fully in the present moment
and enjoy all that is good around me.
May all that is life-giving remind me of your life and love
that surround me now.

BE THANKFUL

http://www.animated-gifs.eu/phone-24...imals/0204.gif

Be thankful that you don't already have
everything you desire — if you did,
what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something...
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times...
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations...
They give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge...
Which will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes...

They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary...
Because it means you've given your all.
It's easy to be thankful for the 'good' things...

Yet, a life of rich fulfillment comes to those
Who are thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive...
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
And they can become your blessings.

God our Father,
we read of the commandment
“do not kill”
and think it doesn’t apply to us
because we don’t take anyone’s life.
Yet there are times
when we take life from others
by cruel words, sarcasm,
doing people down,
and gossiping.
Lead us to choose to bring life to others
- and not death.
Inspire us to break the cycle
of whatever is negative
or violent or evil
whenever we encounter them.
Let us not look for vengeance
- to get our own back -
but lead us to be generous
and ready to conquer evil
with goodness. Amen.

Let us pray:
God our Father, in saying
that you have written our names
on the palm of your hands,
you are telling us that each person
is unique and special to you.
We pray that individuals
may discover in themselves
the treasures you have given them,
and develop and put to good use
the qualities
they hold in trust from you.
I pray and commit myself today
to promote goodness and happiness,
by treating others
with respect
and care and understanding.
May others treat me today, Father,
in the same way as I treat them,
and so may we all
bring out the best in one another
and grow in the way
we look at ourselves and others.
Amen.

And so we thank you, Lord,
for making us people of quality.
We pray that we may use our gifts well
and not keep them unused, unwrapped,
because a gift is no good
unless it is shared.
We thank you
that we are people of quality
whom your hands have made.
May you be blessed forever!

If God's Love is for us, who can be against us? Lord I pray that you will be with me in today.

God our Father,
I thank you
that many people
have used their gifts well
and have helped me and inspired me
and brought cheerfulness and joy
in my life.
May I, too,
live in such a way
that I bring blessings to others
by my attitude and actions
and my presence with them.
Remain with me
and lead me to that final day
when I, too, will be able to say:
“I see all heaven before me
and the great God himself.”
Amen

Lord Jesus, you tell us
that those who mourn are “blessed”,
knowing that only those
who love greatly
can mourn.
We know, too,
that it is better
to have loved and lost someone
than never to have loved at all.
We ask you today
that through our own sufferings
of different kinds,
we may discover
strength and peace
through helping
and supporting others
in their difficulties. Amen.
