181 " There has to be a time when we stop dreaming of things we’d like to accomplish and start going after these dreams. It’s the fear of failure that stops you. The truth is we all need failure to understand there’s nothing that’s just given to us. When you get to the place you want to be you’ll appreciate the failures along the way. "

182 " Dear God,Guide my life today and every day. Wrap your hands around my heart, and allow me to live and speak with only kindness and love on my breath. In Jesus name. Amen. "
183 " Have you ever wondered, or even asked yourself, "What does my life look like five years from now?" I think we all have a certain question in our mind, maybe not the one I mentioned, but a thought that stays with us every day. I've dealt with this, but not anymore. Life's too short, I don't have time to waste on that burning question that makes my life feel like, something is just not right. I go after that question without hesitation, and won't rest with a burden in the back of my mind. "
184 " It’s nice to begin each day with an open mind, but a wonderful, loving fulfillment will come with an open heart, knowing there’s always an angel looking over, each and everyone of us. Amen. "
185 " Dear God, Look down from the heavens, and help the people of Ukraine. Let them find safety in the midst of this evil their suffering through. Surround their country with your mighty arms, and protect and defend them. Allow the wrongs placed upon them be punished with every breath they take. You’re the truth, the light and the way. In Jesus name we pray. Amen "
186 " If you choose to speak negatively about a person, nothing will change except the way that person now feels about you. "

188 " New Year's Prayer Dear Lord, bless the soil we walk on, and heal the sick. Allow us clarity in our moments of doubt. Give us the strength to reach our hands out to anyone in need. May we embrace each other as our brothers or sisters in Christ. Across our country, and around the world let there be pure love without a second thought. In Jesus name. Amen. "
189 " There would be a lot fewer broken hearts when a relationship fails if people would understand that there’s no reason to want someone who doesn’t want you. Never allow yourself to feel half empty when you deserve a relationship that will fill your heart with happiness. "

190 " There are so many people more concerned with how a relationship makes them look, rather than their own personal well-being. They hide the truth, many times behind a pretty white picket fence. Appearances are their very first priority, so they hang on to the relationship despite the abuse. "
191 " We use the term mixed emotions loosely. With no thought of any specific emotions we’re talking about. Do you mix fear with worry? How about, mixing anger with sadness or doubt with disappointment? Think about what you’re feeling, put your finger on it, and move on. Mixed emotions can be nothing more than over thinking. "
192 " Dear God,Please wrap your healing hand around our health care workers fighting so hard in this pandemic to heal the sick. Keep them healthy dear Lord; they are heroes as they sacrifice their own health and emotional well-being during this overwhelming time. Dear God, you’re the truth, and you’re the light. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. "
193 " Buried deep within each of us is a question we’ve come to understand. The truth is we’re just not strong enough to act on it right now, but understanding what the question is that’s half the battle. Living without denial allows for freedom of the heart and mind. "
194 " The number one reason for failure is people’s fear of judgment. They don’t continue to harvest their dream. What’s misunderstood is, most of the people that judge, are the one’s afraid you’ll succeed. "
195 " Dear God, We ask that you place your healing arms around us, creating calm, protect each person, healing those suffering from this awful virus. In Jesus name we pray, amen. "
196 " Live every day your way, and wear your blessings well. In Jesus name, amen. "
197 " Without any of us saying a word, righteousness will come from Jesus Christ. "
198 " When you’re talking to a writer, he or she is not necessary listening to the details, as much as their paying attention to the reason you’re saying it. "
199 " The greatest musicians never cared to be rock stars. They just wanted to play. The greatest actors never cared to be movie stars; they just loved their craft. The greatest artists painted on canvas to fill their own hearts. It’s how we truly feel about things in life that will determine our success. "
