A prayer for the spirit

Father, I don't fully understand the profound mystery of the spirit. From experience, all I know is that once I was spiritually dead, and now I am spiritually alive. The Holy Spirit indwells me now.

The spirit is the perfect aspect of humanity, the aspect that connects a person to God. Father, may I no longer live by the flesh or the soul. May I live by the Spirit, now and forevermore.

Here I am, Lord. Thy will be done. Into Your hands I commend my spirit.

A prayer for the soul

God, You have created a unique soul in every person. Thank You for creating me with a unique personality and talents. Forgive me for the times I have been a hypocrite, pretending to be someone I am not. May I live authentically. Keep me from unhealthy comparisons, and anoint my soul so that I may fulfill my destiny, because You created me the way I am for good reason. Thank You for loving me the way I am.

The homeless crisis

Homelessness has become a prevalent issue in the United States. Many people blame the homeless themselves for drug addiction, mental illness, or irresponsibility. Though these factors contribute, there are other reasons outside of their control, such as medical bills that drain their bank accounts, layoffs, and simply not being able to afford the inflated rent prices.

The homeless problem has made people afraid to walk around in certain downtown areas, which is a shame. More homeless shelters need to be built....Our taxes should pay for that instead of benefits for illegal immigrants. Rent control would also help.

By the grace of God go I....If not for family support, I could be homeless as well. That's why I'm not one to judge.

The beginning of eternity

There are so many books to read, videos to create, plants to grow, drawings to draw, songs to sing, recipes to make, places to explore, people to meet...so much I'd like to do, even if the world is ending.
