***************

Sometimes it can help to pray using someone else's words. It can remind you that you are not alone in the problem you experience and the solution you seek.

It also reminds you that someone somewhere is praying for all God's children, and that includes you.

I hope these inspirational prayers bless you.

Please pray for me too :-)

God blesses you and guides you.

With the Love we are,

Katherine
