A Prayer For Strength

Dear God...

35
A Prayer For Strength
Ailie Davidson

Dear God,

Life isn't a strong beam of sunshine 100 percent of the time. Sometimes it's just rays. Everyone experiences pain, confusion, troubles, hardships and obstacles. We all struggle; some people struggle all the time and some people struggle more than others. Lord, help them, save them, empower them, guide them, love them, motivate them. Bless them with strength. Bless them with strength from you, and strength they can find within themselves. Even if they’re not aware, or even if they are, I know Lord, that you are there with them. Whatever these people may be going through, grant them hope. Hope that this storm will pass, that things will get better and that the sun will peek out of the clouds soon. Remind them that in the end, everything will be okay, because you have a mighty plan. Things may be difficult now, and the question of why may be reoccurring, but help these people to find the blessings. Help them to find the blessings within the struggles, and embrace the lessons the struggles may contain; help them find the positives. Kindly touch them with your divine presence, and make them whole again. You Lord, are powerful.

Finally Lord, give them the endurance to continue, to push through, to fight. Take away their worries, struggles and troubles. Direct them to peace, understanding and positivity. Uplift them and enlighten them with your existence and accompaniment.

Thank you Lord, for your gracious presence. Please help, love, guide and empower all of us in need; give us strength.

Amen

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
