A heart in bloom: Prayers and reflections for healing and renewal

May these words be deeply personal and a ball to your soul. Springtime is the perfect time to start anew. As seasons change, may you find your rest and strength in an ever present, ever loving, ever faithful God.

Springtime

Out with the old and in with the new,

Fresh, pink, beautiful blooms,

Sunshine and revival of hope,

As a new day dawns,

So does a new opportunity to view

Ourselves and our perspectives anew.

Spring, I’ve been longing for you.

Refresh

In a world of sorrow,

May I bring joy.

In a time of darkness,

May I bring light.

In a time of mourning,

May I bring hope.

In a time of drought,

May I refresh the souls of the weary.

In a time such as this,

May I bring a faith that endures all, heals all, sustains and renews:

Jesus, I pray they can get past my faults

And see You.

Comfort

Father, I give you my heart.

Please use me I pray.

With each passing moment in every day,

May I love like You, serve like You and forgive like You.

And even through the pain,

May I remember my service is not in vain.

Because I find my comfort, my rest, my redress in You.

Goodness

Today, God, help me see Your goodness all over my life,

Help me set all the wrongs I can right

And always let me remember to pause and surrender in moments of weakness

To ponder, pray and refocus my gaze

On You in all of Your Goodness poured out over my life.
