Pause+Pray

We live in a fast-paced society. Because of that we often miss what we can learn and experience when we have patience and wait for things to unfold.

May my day be filled with gratitude for God’s many blessings. Let awareness of my blessings and the goodness of the earth inspire me to bless others.

Life is a journey we cannot predict or control. Sometimes there will be valleys and other times mountain highs. But how do you know where God is calling you?

Sadness, sorrow, tears, loss: For some of us they make all too frequent appearances. Speak to someone you love of a loss or an experience that burdens you.

In my worry about family members, I sometimes forget that there is always hope—in God. Are there moments you feel you must fix things, forgetting that God is there?

We may not be able to control what goes on in the world, but we can control how we react to it. This prayer can help us stay focused.
