God's Whisper for Today - August 29, 2014

Dear ,

Do something grudgingly and it’ll seem a chore. Do something lovingly and it’ll 

be joy.

Rejoice always,

God

P.S. , love gives you energy to conquer anything!

God's Whisper for Today - August 28, 2014

Dear ,

When you let go of what you cling to tightly, then your hand is free to receive 

something better from Me.

Fear not,

God

P.S. , I know it can be scary to let go of what you already have, but trust Me, 

there’s more where that came from. 

Prayer to St. Monica

Happy Feast of St. Monica!    I hope that this novena has brought you closer to God through St. Monica!   Here at Pray More Novenas, at the end of every novena, we always pray the following as our final prayer:

Let us pray... Dear Lord Jesus, I have specific requests that may only partially fill the infinite needs and desires that are in my heart. I ask that You answer me not only for those requests but also for a greater reliance on You to satisfy the needs and desires that You have given me. Please grant the prayers of all those who prayed this novena with me. Bless them with Your love and make them holy! May I seek You with a sincere heart knowing that it will profit me nothing if I gain the whole world yet lose my soul. So, help me to see Your good and gracious purpose in all my trials. Help me to see Your blessings in every day and help me to love You more. Thank You for everything, Lord Jesus! Amen.

Novena to St. Monica - Day 9

God has blessed us in so many ways, it is often easy to forget His blessings. It is often easy to focus only on the bad things in life.    Today, let's thank God for all His blessings in our lives!   Here are the prayers for today:

God's Whisper for Today - August 18, 2014

Always Choose

Always choose...
        - to heal, not to hurt,
        - to forgive, not to despise,
        - to persevere, not to quit,
        - to smile, not to frown and
        - to love, not to hate.

At the end of life, what really matters is...
        - not what we bought but what we built;
        - not what we got but what we shared;
        - not our competence but our character and
        - not our success but our significance.

LIFE A LIFE THAT MATTERS, A LIFE THAT CARES!
Have a blessed day ahead!



         This is what I have observed to be good: that it is appropriate for a person to eat, to drink and to find satisfaction in their toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given them­for this is their lot. Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil­this is a gift of God. They seldom reflect on the days of their life, because God keeps them occupied with gladness of heart.                                                                                                            Ecclesiastes 5:18-20
         So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.
                                                                                                           Psalms 90:12
        And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
                                                                                                           Galatians 6:9-10

         For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
                                                                                                           Ephesians 2:10
