Another week is under way and the dreaded Monday is coming to an end, I pray that the dreaded Monday turned out to be a blessed Monday for everyone of you!
Today has been a beautiful day here in Utah, 75 degrees was the high and there was nothing but sunshine to warm my face and "sonshine" to warm my heart! I did find myself becoming bugged today and had to really ask God to calm my spirit and I opened my book of prayers and read this....
Serenity prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

I find myself saying this more and more often as of late, I am thinking that in turning 50 I have developed a distaste for people who speak just to hear noise! I prayed it and it really did give me calm inside! I love each of you and pray that if you are having issues with people that you will say this prayer and let God take the angst and frustration out of your spirit and replace it with peace and calm. God bless you and yours this beautiful evening!
Please join me in praying for those in need this night, for those who struggle with prayer and for those who do not feel worthy of prayer. I pray each day for our lands to be nourished with their needs, for those suffering sickness and rehabilitation to be touched by the healing hand of our Father in Heaven, for those who have specific needs that God will hold them in his arms and bless them with answers to their prayers, for those in the military, defending our great country, for our leaders who must realize that unless the key ingredient is put back into the mix we will never be united again, I pray for the children that they learn the value of truth and honesty, that they learn early that with God all things are possible and that they receive all that is needed to grow and prosper, I pray for those suffering the loss of a loved one, whether it be a new passing or one that happened long ago, the pain is real and the heartache seems to never go away, I pray for comfort and that it will be bearable and the memories of the loved one will outweigh the pain and suffering you are going through. I pray for you, that you and yours feel God's love in all that you do. I ask you to join me in lifting all of these favors I ask to Jesus Christ marked special delivery to our Father in Heaven. AMEN.

I am 22 I have been here for 2 weeks I was in a really bad car accident I crushed my ankle and broke my leg in 3 spots and 2 of those spots the bone broke the skin open I broke my back in 4 spots and I fractured my arm I'm a big mess also in the car accident I lost my 19 year old brother he was driving ):
This is such a sad story please pray for Krystal Sanders and dont forget Kate Kelley.
Our dear kind and loving father in heaven, I bow my head humbly in prayer, asking that you wrap your arms around both Krystal and Kate that you lay your healing hands upon all areas injured in this accident and produce a mighty miraculous healing, father lay your hand of comfort and peace upon this girl and her family as they deal with the loss of their son and brother. Father God allow them to use your strength as their own as they go through these trials and fill them with knowledge that through you all things are possible, may their faith be like wings of angels, lifting them above this to see through the veil that they will reunite with their loved one when it is their call to home. Bless them Lord each and every day. Father we love you so much and we know that if we seek out Jesus, give our faith and hearts over to him that you will hear our call for aid and you will answer that call. Father we bow humbly and ask these mercies and favors in our Saviors name, Amen.
