Dear Lord; Now and again, we all have times where we suffer from some level of self-doubt. In my case, challenges and burdens from the last couple of weeks caught up with me over the weekend and shook my self-confidence quite a bit. While there’s no way to just “get over it” when it comes to confidence issues, I have found that retuning my focus can help substantially. By shifting my attentions to helping someone else with their problems, or doing things from which I feel some personal accomplishment I can usually shift my thinking to be more attuned towards success. Heavenly Father, please help those who are living with self-doubt and fear feel Your Light. Let them, if only for a moment see themselves from Your Gaze, and know they are worthy of success. Amen. ~Phather Phil

Dear Lord; My thoughts and prayers this morning are concentrated on a very good friend who’s scheduled to have surgery today. Please make Yourself known to her, and let her feel Your Divine Presence so that she can be at peace during the procedure. Heal her body and spirit, and keep her in Your Loving Gaze. Amen. ~Phather Phil

Dear Lord; As my Spiritual Journey continues down the Path, it’s amazing to me how connected I feel to those around me and the world in general. I’ve always looked at my life as a balance between my physical existence and my spiritual consciousness, but as I’ve grown in my relationship with You it’s been much more apparent to me how the two interact. The more I focus on Listening to Your Voice, the more I feel a part of everyone else around me. Call it a “Spiritual Awakening” if you like, but the more I blend my Spirituality into my daily life the more fulfilled I feel in general. Thank You for Your Guidance, and for that growth. Amen. ~Phather Phil

Dear Lord; Today Lord, my thoughts and wishes fly to my son Jonathan as he heads off on an overnight school field trip. Now, he’s been away from home before but for some reason I still worry about him every time he goes off on a new adventure. Although You continue to bless us with the continued remission from his Langerhans, I still tend to be a bit on the over-protective side where he’s concerned. Please keep him in Your Loving Embrace throughout his trip, and see him safely home to his Mother and I. Amen. ~Phather Phil

Dear Lord; It’s often said that we’re our own worst critics. I know in my case, that’s usually true. With the times we live in it seems we’re constantly deluged with negative information from all sides, which can make even the strongest of us start to feel overwhelmed and beaten. Once that happens, our day-to-day tasks take on a whole new perspective, and self-doubt can creep in. Please help us focus on the positives in our lives, and to see our daily trials for what they truly are. Raise Your Blessings in our hearts and minds, and give us the strength to go forward in Your Grace. Amen. ~Phather Phil
