Life presents challenges that can disorient and demotivate us, reminding us of our role as spiritual beings in a human existence filled with pain and discomfort. By nurturing our spirit through good choices, love, and forgiveness, we align with God’s purpose. Trust in the Holy Spirit and divine guidance to navigate these trials.
Dear God, I come to you today in this time of prayer to firstly thank you for the many gifts you have provided. To thank you for instilling within me a thoughtful mind, placing me around inspiring people and continually supporting me whilst I grow. As I continue through my day, I have one thing…
The Futility of Worry If all we have is today, why should we worry about tomorrow or yesterday? For these things are not in our control, and worrying is simply a waste of time. In St Paul’s letter to the Philippians, he shares this inspiring message, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by…
Wherever you go today, God will be present. Look for him in everything that you do, and seek him out. Do not be afraid about the circumstances you face, but place your trust in the Lord for he will guide you. He is your rock and he is your shelter. All things, good and bad…
Everyone has some type of special gift, and is unique in character, ambition and experience. If you think to yourself right now, what is your gift? What is that one thing, or couple of things that you feel you can bring to the world to make it better? You might be struggling for ideas, and…
Each day when we awake, there is a silent call that directs us where we should go, what we should do, and when we should do it. It’s not explicit, it’s quite subtle, almost like a whisper. Deep down within us there is a voice that already knows what’s best for us. Our mind knows…
When things are going well and you sense yourself gaining some positive momentum, there will always be those doubts that fill your mind. It’s just a given, you’ll be confronted with past mistakes, question your own self worth and worry about what others think from time-to-time. These thoughts will resurface whether we want them to…
What is the main aim of our daily lives, what should we be striving for, and how can we keep peace and patience within us as we work towards larger personal goals? One short and simple way is to always look to bring goodness to everything that you do. Whether it be within your team…
Every morning you wake up, God has blessed you with a new day – an opportunity to exercise your potential. Our days are borrowed, not owned, so it is our responsibility to use them well, in a manner that serves love and peace to others. You might be waking up with disappointment in your mind…
Building momentum in a positive direction is key to leading a fulfilled life, and it’s the stumbling blocks on the road to this momentum that can make positive change seem more daunting and confronting than it actually is. Our starting point (where we are right now) is a summation of all the decisions we have…
It’s often difficult to break free from feelings that we hold towards certain people – with our friends, our family and other close relations. Feelings of resentment can build up if these feelings are suppressed over time and we can find it difficult to live our day to day life with the burdens we carry…
We need to be committed to whatever we desire out of life because if we are not, we’ll fall off track too easily, be distracted too easily and give-up too easily. Commitment is the cornerstone of what it takes to keep striving for a goal, trusting in a belief and continuing on a positive growth…
There comes times in life when we feel like we’re really pushing our limits. We’re trying to fit so much more into our day or our week than we ever have before. Over time we have built up more and more opportunities and we continue to take them – that’s a great thing if we…
Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest basketball player of all time said, “Limits, just like fears, are often just an illusion.” What can we draw from this statement? It packs in a lot of messages and it also encourages us to develop our self awareness. What I believe Michael was trying to express is that we…
What if we never quit on the things that really mattered? What would it mean for who we are now or who we could be in the future? It would mean a stronger will power and a more decisive attitude. When we don’t quit it’s because we care about what we’re working towards and anything…
If you listen close enough, you can hear a silent whisper. It’s the man above, directing you to where you need to be. He might seem to work in ways, that sometimes don’t make sense, but how can something so grand as his plans fit into the realm of what we already know – get…
There are a lot of times in our life when we will be unsure and this can manifest into insecurity and fear. But, why do we shy away from what can actually help us to grow? On the other side of fear is an unimaginable freedom – a freedom that says we are capable of…
Living with the stresses and burdens that we visualise in day to day life can be a struggle. We can constantly run through cycles related to fear of the past and can become asphyxiated by our thoughts towards our fears. This asphyxiated feeling is often a creation of our own. The mistakes of our past…
Whether you’re religious or not, I think it’s important to trust that the world is set up to work in your favour. If you become ignorant of this fact, bitterness can often result, and resentment can build to the point where you feel like you have no control over the outcomes of your life. Like…
Prayer can change a situation. Prayer can change your life. Whenever I have found myself consistently praying on a day-to-day basis for extended periods of time those have been the happiest times of my life, I seemed free of my worries and more grateful for the things that I had in life. There’s something about…
I want to open up to you a little bit – to tell you about fear. Fear is not weakness, but a yearning for unconditional love. It’s a desire to want things to be a certain way but having no way of being certain whether they are possible. You can dream about having an understanding…
