Hope

Despite life's challenges, there is hope. Hope that God will hear my deepest desires and deliver far more than I could ever dare ask. Hope that even what seems impossible is not beyond the realm of His grace. Hope that those I love be granted blessings and joy beyond measure. Hope that all of my dreams will come true.

A prayer for my mother

I pray that those who care for you remain diligent in their pursuit of healing

I pray that every cell in your body is receptive to health and renewal

I pray that with each passing hour you become stronger and stronger

I pray that you focus your thoughts on possibility rather than fear

I pray that you nourish your body without restriction for vanity's sake

I pray that you will welcome the love and support that surrounds you

I pray that you will be here to enjoy many more years of milestones and celebrations

I pray most of all that you put your trust in God and allow him to work miracles in your life.

In limbo

Once hopeful that a week away would renew my spirit and revive my passions, I face the realization that I remain hopeless and numb. My budding joy dashed by fears and lingering doubts. I fight back the tears that persist in dampening my eyes, not wanting the world to know the emptiness and ache that envelops me.

I long to find a beacon to set my sights upon...a bit of hope to grasp onto. Like a desolate town, I pray for an infusion of life.

Wishing on the moon

Tonight, by the delicate light of the new moon, I cast out the burdens of the past and begin a brilliant new life. When I awake, I shall embark on my new adventure with anticipation and delight. Great love, joy and fulfillment lay just ahead. With every step I take I will look toward these beacons, knowing that boundless blessings await.
