8 Prayers For Our Country And For Our New President
Quartz

I pray that our country will start to love instead of hate. Enough is enough with all of the bashful and hateful comments and actions toward each other. I don’t understand why “hating” has become such a normal thing in today’s world. I hope that there comes a time when we can all accept each other for who they are and for their opinions.

I pray that one day, hopefully soon, everyone in our country will feel safe. People have begun to say that they do not feel safe now that Trump has been elected president, but in reality, there were a ton of other people who were afraid before he was elected. I know that everyone will not feel one-hundred percent safe tomorrow, but I hope that over time and with work, one-day people will not be afraid or feel unsafe.

I pray that people start to recognize our new president and will support him. There are so many people who have been saying “He’s not my president, I’m still with her”. It is great that we live in a world where we are allowed to express our opinions, but Trump won President for a reason, and there’s nothing that is going to change that. He is our President for the next four years, whether we like it or not. If we look back eight years ago when Obama was first elected into office, there were plenty of people who were angry and outraged that he was our President, but you know what? He got elected twice because there were people who believed in him. Those who did not favor Obama still supported him and waited to see what he would do with our nation. For eight years, the citizens of America watched to see what Obama could accomplish instead of thrashing out and causing unnecessary fights. Donald Trump needs the same prayers and support that Obama had. Our President needs us to help him succeed. He needs people who will support him in order for him to succeed as the President. Wanting the President to fail is basically wanting our country to fail. People may not like him, nor like the people who support him, but there is no reason under any circumstances for destroying symbols of our country, like the American Flag. We all need to unite and support our country.

For you, President Trump:

I pray that you surround yourself with people who will support you and guide you in the right direction. Considering you do not have a political background, I hope that you acquire people on your team who do have the experience and knowledge that will help you succeed during your term.

I pray that you continue to love America and strive to continue to help point our country in the right way. You are a true American businessman who understands people who are in the workforce. If you fighting for our country does not say that you love and support our country, I do not know what does. I hope that your love and passion for our country continues throughout your term.

I pray that you do not forget the opinions of the American people. A lot of people support you because you bring an outside view to politics. You understand the average American person’s thoughts and hopes. I hope you continue to work toward creating more jobs for people and making life overall better.

I pray that you continue to have open eyes and ears toward the American people. I understand that some of your views are written in stone, but I hope that you will still consider and respect people for who they are, no matter what their gender, race, age or their sexuality is.

I pray for you, President Donald Trump, that you can help make America Great Again.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
