For Today:  October 15^th

Certain thoughts are prayers.  There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.

Victor Hugo

Prayer is a habit now—a way to be free of immobilizing defects.  Often in the course of a day, I may think or act with a certain spontaneity, accepting virtually everything about life.  That, to me, is a form of prayer.  Prayer comforts me so I waste no time in wishing things were different.  It allows me to deal with what is before me, and gives me the energy to work at coping with situations I may be able to do something about, such as illness, flat tires, a leaking roof.  Prayer allows me to like and enjoy my life and to live without suffocating in guilt over past mistakes.

For Today:  I am open to prayer throughout the day, wherever I am and whatever I am doing.

For me, prayer is a great comfort. It helps me to KNOW that God is watching out for me and guiding my life, every step of the way.  All I have to do is ASK, via prayer, and I'm given direction with everything from food planning to finding the right words to convey to a loved one without sounding harsh.

For today, I pray to always remember that God is right next to me at all times.
