GottaGoToMo Posts: 85,198	Just figured I would make a thread where people may want to join in and add any inspirational prayers or sayings they have come across. All are welcome.

GottaGoToMo Posts: 85,198	*Saint Teresa's Prayer* *Mother Teresa of Calcutta* *May today there be peace within.* May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be confident knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.

GottaGoToMo Posts: 85,198	This inspirational writing was on the wall of Mother Teresa's home in Calcutta, India. It's called "The Final Analysis" People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

GottaGoToMo Posts: 85,198	"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they? Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life span? Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wild flowers grow. They do not work or spin. But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like any of them. If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, willl he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith? So do not worry and say 'What are we to wear?' All these things the pagans seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil." Matthew 6:24-34

GottaGoToMo Posts: 85,198	Lord, listen to my prayer: Turn your ear to my appeal You are faithful, you are just; give answer. Do not call your servant to judgment For no one is just in your sight. The enemy pursues my soul; He has crushed my life to the ground; He has made me dwell in darkness Like the dead, long forgotten. Therefore my spirit fails; My heart is numb within me. I remember the days that are past; I ponder all your works. I muse on what your hand has wrought And to you I stretch out my hands. Like a parched land my soul thirsts for you. Lord, make haste and answer; For my spirit fails within me. Do not hide your face Lest I become like those in the grave. In the morning let me know your love For I put my trust in you – Make me know the way I should walk; To you I lift up my soul. Rescue me, Lord, from my enemies; I have fled to you for refuge. Teach me to do your will For you, O Lord, are my God Let your good spirit guide me In ways that are level and smooth. For our name’s sake, Lord, save my life; In your justice save my soul from distress. Psalm 143:1-11 (Galastians 2:16)

GottaGoToMo Posts: 85,198	Start by doing what's necessary, then do what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible. St. Francis of Assisi I'm not telling you it is going to be easy - I'm telling you it's going to be worth it Art Williams Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. Carl Bard Matthew 6:34 Take no thought for tomorrow: for tomorrow shall take no thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto today is evil thereof.
