There is a simple prayer in the Christian Bible located in I Chronicles 4: 10. It is called “The Prayer of Jabez.” Although I believe that any type of communication with the Divine is wonderful, this little prayer has proven to add a special positive punch to those people’s lives that I have shared it with.
The Prayer of Jabez
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
Oh that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your hand always be with me,
and that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain.”
So God granted him what he requested. I Chronicles 4: 10
I share this with you for only one reason. Prayer is our bridge to the Most Glorious Creator. If you have no idea where to begin praying, this little prayer may help show you the light. If you have prayers that you prefer, may this blog remind you not to forget Goddess/God in your life.
So, on that note, the quote of the day is:
“Daily prayer shows our Creator that we want to participate in the Holy Covenant of Life.” tc

Steam Roller
Sometimes, I feel as though I am on a long train ride, being driven to some distant destination without being in control of how fast I go or when I will arrive. Do you ever feel that way? It can seem quite scary.
However, I have learned that I hold the key to my future. The unknown future before me becomes a reflection of what I perceive it to be. If I hold onto the fear – my future steps are hesitate, untrusting and heavy. By letting go and allowing faith to guide my actions, faith in an All-powerful, Loving Goddess/God, - my future steps are secure, confident and light.
Additionally, the resultant future shows me exactly what I have done. If the outcome is desirous and healthy….I followed my faith for what the Divine had in store. If the fruits of my effort were from fear….the chaos, jumble and headaches of my actions are now another reality to deal with.
Lesson learned.
So, on that note, the quote of the day is:
“Be sure the engineer of your train is of the Most High and not your ego.” tc
