The Prayer That Changed My Life

I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, battle, circumstance, or situation greater than you, Lord.

The Prayer That Changed My Life
French Press Mornings

In 8th grade,I was attending a Catholic private school in Puerto Rico called "Colegio Sagrado Corazón". I had an amazing teacher that taught me more about religion and life than anyone ever has. Every day a student would start the class with a prayer. Everyone knew when their turn was; therefore, when my turn was coming up I was very excited. I googled prayers online, but I found nothing that I wanted to share with my class. I wanted my prayer to be something that inspired others, something everyone would hopefully relate to. Then I found the prayer that changed my life. I can't really explain exactly how this prayer makes me feel, but it just calms me. In moments of stress, frustrations, worries and happiness, I remind myself to read this prayer. It feels like God is padding my back and saying "Everything is going to be okay." The prayer is in Spanish so I'm going to do the best of my availability to translate. This is the Spanish Version .

Dear God, I thank you for this day.

I thank you for being able to see and hear this morning.

I am blessed because you're a sympathetic and forgiving God.

You've done so much for me and keep continuous blessing every day.

Forgive me for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you.

Please keep me safe, away from danger and harm.

Help me to start this day with a new attitude and much gratitude.

Let me make the best of each day to clear my mind so I can hear your message.

Please open my mind so I can accept all things. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control.

Let me continue to see sin through your eyes Lord and teach me how to recognize the bad.

Continue to bless me so I can bless others.

Keep me strong to help the weak. Keep me uplifted so I can have words of encouragement for others.

I pray for those that are lost and can not find their way. I pray for those that do not know you intimately.

I pray for those who do not believe,

but I am thankful because I believe.

I believe you change people and change things.

I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, battle, circumstance, or situation greater than you, Lord.

I pray that these words will be received into people's hearts, that every eye that sees them and every mouth that pronounces them confesses them willinglly.

This is my prayer...

In Jesus name, Amen.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
