I am loving myself.
Unapologetically.

Do Not Despair
Let no sadness come to this heart.
Let not trouble come to these arms.
Let no conflict come to these eyes.
Let my soul be filled
with the blessing of joy and peace.

Respect Yourself
Learn to be alone
without being lonely.
Learn to admire your beauty
without finding fault.
Learn to love yourself
without the love of others.

I Will Not Die an Unlived Life
I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing.
—Dawna Markova

Live the Life You Always Imagined
I learned this, at least
by my experiment:
that if one advances confidently
in the direction of his dreams,
and endeavors to live the life
which he has imagined,
he will meet with a success
unexpected in common hours.
—Henry David Thoreau, Walden, 1854

Like a Bridge Over Troubled Water
When trouble is close at hand.
Your Word will be a lamp for me,
a guide to light my way,
a solid place to set my feet,
a compass when I stray.
May I live my life to praise You,
not for fortune, nor for fame,
may everything I say and do
bring glory to Your name.
May my eyes stay fixed upon You
as I seek the way that’s pure,
tasting Your love and goodness
sleeping and rising secure.
Planted by Your living streams
I’ll delight in all Your ways,
hidden by Your sheltering wings
with new mercies for each day.
Even in a dangerous land
when storms threaten to destroy,
at the cross I’ll stand upon the Rock
my Strength, my Hope, my Joy.
Dear Lord, show me Your favor,
at all times keep me blessed,
may Your face ever shine upon me,
with peace and perfect rest. Amen.
—Mary Fairchild

Stronger than the Storm Within Me
I will trust in the
darkness and know that my
times, even now, are in Your
hand. Tune my spirit to the
music of heaven, and
somehow, make my
obedience count for You.
—The Prayer of Saint Brendan

Find Refuge Here
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
—Psalm 91:1–16
