The New Year offers an opportunity for us to begin anew and make resolutions. There are the usual resolutions such as lose weight, exercise, save money, spend more time with family and friends. But have you noticed that by the end of January, such pledges are forgotten?
Have you thought of adding more prayer time to your list of New Year’s resolutions? “I want to learn how to pray” is often heard from some members of our prayer community. Journaling, meditation, contemplation are some of the methods for praying.

Living in Joy
One of my favorite Christmas carols is “Joy to the World”. To me it represents the uplifting feelings I get at this time of year. It reminds me of the love of God and of the Christ Child whom we celebrate at this time of year.
Many of us are thinking that we don’t have anything to be joyful aboutthese days with hardships challenging us each day. You just have to read some of the prayer requests on our Manidoo site to know what I’m talking about.

Appreciating the Little Things in Life
Greetings! I’d like to talk about a word that comes to mind very often these days. It is the word “appreciation”, especially the ability to appreciate the smaller things in life along with the larger ones.
Appreciation is a recognition of the value and significance of people and things. It is also another way to express gratitude which I’ve been blogging a lot about lately. This is because I understand that to be in gratitude more closely connects us to God and His saving grace.

Sharing Through Prayers
Have you noticed that the number of prayer requests from our Manidoo Prayer Community has been increasing lately? This brings a sense of satisfaction to all of us in the Manidoo Community because it gives us a chance to do our job for each one of you!
We understand that the reasons for your prayer requests come from places of troubles and sometimes hopelessness in these hard times that many of us are going through. So it is all the more reason for you to reach out to us and to one another to create an atmosphere of support and understanding.

Dear Manidooers
Here we are once again at that time of year when the holidays come rushing at us. To me, the main themes of this Thanksgiving holiday are twofold: gratitude and sharing.
I’ve blogged about the idea of gratitude recently. It is certainly part of any Thanksgiving celebration. Whether or not you are taking part in this particular holiday, my friends, take the time to think of all that is wonderful and supportive in your life.

Greetings to all in our Manidoo Prayer Community!
It is joyful to me when I see you reaching out to those seeking help through their prayer requests on this website. It is obvious to me that many of you who take the time to leave a comment or prayer are in need of help yourselves.
Don’t you find that it helps to ease the weight of your own burden by reaching out to others in need? You get a real sense of connection to one another which can bring peace to your mind and heart. I know this true for me as well.

The Divine Spark Within
Many people are hurting because of events in their lives that are largely out of their control. I’m referring mainly to those situations where people are losing jobs, or having their homes foreclosed or are not able to meet monthly bill payments because of outstanding medical expenses.
Now, I don’t proclaim to have all the answers to all these types of problems. What I do offer is a way for each of you to keep hope in your heart so that you gain the strength you need to keep on going despite all odds.

It is normal for you to react in fear to this news, even if the situation does not affect you directly. Certainly, for some, it is a very real problem if you are facing foreclosure of your home or are having real difficulties with making ends meet.
I’d like to talk with you about fear. While you are in fear, it is difficult for you to trust your divine essence. Fear is a state of mind that makes you think you are separated from God’s love.

While driving in my car the other day, I heard an oldie on the radio called, “I Say A Little Prayer for You”. The song’s message was so simple: while going about your daily business, stop and say a prayer for someone you love.
Of course I thought of all of you who log onto our Manidoo Prayer Community blog and couldn’t wait to share this thought with you!
