Today, God, help me focus on a peaceful pace rather than a harried one.
I will keep moving forward gently, not frantically.
Help me let go of my need to be anxious, upset, and harried.
Help me replace it with a need to be at peace and in harmony.

Amen and amen
that’s all.
God will help, but you need to take the lead.
Isn’t that where things come apart?
I woke with a similar thought/prayer.
Lord, the day will unfold as you see fit.
Help me to believe in it’s unfolding.
Amen
my goal: peace and harmony
Peace and harmony…deceptively simple and yet sometimes such slippery little devils… *love* the illustration too….
Awesome reminder and prayer. Thanks.
God is order. Order is peace. The madness of this world is like the effects of a storm. Anyone who chooses God will find themselves in the calm of the eye of any storm that this world is capable of.

I need to believe this Alan. Thank you.
You are very welcome, Dave. Remember this topic is not a thing of evolution. It is a thing of perfection. To believe this, one simply has to choose to.

Me too Debi!
I tell myself that every day. Some days when I’m harried at work and need to slow down, I tell myself I’m royalty and I have to slow down so I don’t crinkle my train in back!
Love that self-talk!
That’s gorgeously prayed 🙏
Melody Beattie’s wise, prayer is a gift!
It is!
