 Sometimes you have to forget what’s gone, appreciate what remains, and look forward to what’s coming next.

Forget what hurt you, but never forget what it taught you.

Prayer is a powerful way to gain focus, perspective, and commune with your higher power. The act of praying connects us with something deeper and more meaningful in life. It is rooted in spirituality, and has two dimensions. The first is a form of self-reflection and self-awareness. The second is the sense of external connection with something that transcends all creation. Prayer can benefit people a number of ways when done with the right awareness

1. It can provide optimism and hope
2. It can help cultivate a state of gratitude
3. It can help control impulsive actions.
4. It gives time to see things from a broader perspective.
5. It helps people find commonality and beauty in diversity.
6. It helps people focus and concentrate
7. It helps people forgive and move forward in life.
8. It gives people a sense of security.
9. It can give people a sense of comfort and being protected.
10. It can be used to cultivate rational thought.
11. It can give people creative ways of problem solving
12. It can give you a sense of true connection with your higher power.

There are mental and physical health benefits. The reduction of stress that prayer provides from creating a calm mental state and from providing a sense of being protected reduces long-term anxiety which directly leads to minor and major illnesses.

And finally, people have reported experiencing miracles as a result of prayer.

But prayer has to be done right in order to work. Some of the same requirements for meditation apply to prayer:

1. Turn off all electronics.
2. Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed.
3. Sit or lay comfortably.
4. Start with deep breathing to synchronize and relax the mind and body.

Super-Charge Your Prayers

If you want to be most effective during prayer time, then you must be calm and focused. Perhaps the easiest way to get into a calm and focused mental state is by using special music. Specifically designed music will be very helpful to enter the optimal state of mind for most effective praying. Music has a near immediate effect on mood, and certain musical and auditory techniques can produce very specific states of mind and relaxation. The most important mental quality to have when praying is relaxation.

No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted

“And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” (2 Corinthians 9:8)

when God puts in a good word for you, it’s going to be exceedingly, abundantly above and beyond.

God is so loving. He’s so merciful, God does not forget what He’s promised.

Your life hasn’t turned out the way you had hoped. You worked hard, you put forth the effort, but it didn’t work out. Now you’re kind of thinking, “Hey, I’m never going to be happy again. I’ll never be married. I’ll never accomplish my dreams.” No, God not only remembers you, He remembers the promise He put in you. He knows what He’s destined you to do. You may have already said, “Forget it; it’s never going to happen.” The good news is that you don’t have the final say; God has the final say. And He says, “What I started in your life, I’m going to finish. That dream you gave up on, God didn’t give up on it. He remembers you and the dreams He’s placed within you!

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

(1 Corinthians 15:57)

Thankfulness is the beginning of happiness.

If you want more love in your life, start spreading it

Do what is right, not what is easy.

Out of the darkest days comes some of life’s greatest moments. Have Faith.

Without the dark, we’d never see the stars.

Spiritual maturity isn’t measured by how high you jump in praise but how straight you

walk in obedience.Life is very short, so forgive quickly, believe slowly, love truly, laugh loudly and always remember to thank God for it all.

It is never too late to make things right.

Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. -1Cor 13:7

Never give up hope, because you never know, it could still happen.

Surrender means not giving in to another, but giving in to love Instead of focusing on all the bad, be thankful for all the good. Each day you have is a blessing from God.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper u & not to harm you, plans to give you hope & a future. -Jer 29:11

God didn’t promise a life without pain, struggles, and hardships. He promise to give you the strength to get through them.

When you choose to forgive those who have hurt you, you take away their power.

Unless you choose to do great things with it, it makes no difference how much power you have

No matter how things look, know that God is still in control. Stay in peace, knowing that He will always be with you.

Count your blessings, not your problems.

Learn to appreciate what you have, before time makes you appreciate what you had
