- Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
- When in doubt, just take the next small step.
- Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
- Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
- Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.
- It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
- Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry: God never blinks.
- No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
- God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.
- Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.

A Prayer for Today:
Please
O my God, I know that you love me.
And I know that you want me to be happy, safe, and secure,
but sometimes it’s so hard to find you in all my troubles.
Sometimes I worry, God, but …
please help me find the support I need;
please help me not to worry too much;
please help me to be humble enough to accept help from others;
please help me to stay away from the “what ifs” and the “if onlys.”
Help me to remember to help others, even when I still need help.
And please help me to trust
in your loving kindness, your care, and your grace
because I know that you love me, and you know that I love you.
If all you want to give me right now is your love,
please let that be enough for me. Amen.
