Prayer To Begin A Day

 

Each day is a New Day. A new beginning. Here below, I share with you a prayer. This is taken from a Marian Prayer Book I have kept and used for a long time.

Dear Lord,

This day stretches out before me like a quiet ocean, calm and clean and potent with possibility as I sing out the words of Mary, "My soul Magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior." 

Help me to make the most of the beauty and opportunity within this day. I offer it to You through the following affirmations, confident that if I live what they contain I will have lived the day well.

I believe the Lord loves and remains with me at all times.

I believe the Lord provides for my earthly needs.

I believe the Lord cannot fail in anything He undertakes.

I believe I play a unique, important role in the Lord's plan.

I believe the Lord guides me to know His will.

I believe the Lord gives me all the strength I need in times of difficulty.

I believe good will come from all situations I meet today.

I love all in and of the world and beyond, nothing can harm me.

I develop my talents, resources, and abilities to their best use.

I turn over to the Lord whatever I cannot change and set realistic goals to change whatever I can.

I structure my day to include a balance of work, play, rest, and spiritual development.

I strive to live this day humbly, resisting the urge to belittle others or to compare myself to them, realizing the presence of God within us all.

Amen.

God bless you today and everyday!

Just Believe

 

 

Just Believe.

 

As I have mentioned before, It has been my hobby to collect motivational and inspiring collection of words, let's say it like that, that can be used to lighten up one's dull day, diminishing hope, faith failing, and strength runouts. I always believe to have them always at hand. Not all the time, you'll have someone on your side to cheer you up, boost your strength and push you to do one more step forward to success.

Behold! The Pen is here!

As "Cologne" has said, I don't even know who he/she is - my note just say as such, sorry, haha:

" I believe in the sun, even when it is not shining. I believe in love, even when I feel it not. I believe in God, even when He is silent."

True to me. Believe me it works. 

You can be confused. You can be afraid. You can be lost. You can be crying! 

But then, "Just Believe in God", in His timing, in His season, in His silence.

Do you have any choice anyway, if you want to survive a winner?

Winning is not having everything on earth as the heart desires. Winning is having everything God has offered.

That is nothing more, nothing less, but His Love. Love in the presence of His Son, Jesus, whom He has sent to help, save and redeem us for Him. Just thinking about that is a lot comforting. If you believe. So, Just Believe.

Sometimes words are just easier to say, than to feel and live it. But remember, all on earth and outerspace are but God's creation. If it can't be believed, what then is there to believe in? Pride is but an evil thing. So better be off with it.

So far, no stories, nor continuation of any of my series have come into my mind. But these words I have been writing. I don't know. I can't say exactly why. My fingers just keep tipping on keys of my keyboard. And words flowed from my brain to the tip of my fingers. Strange thing? yeahh. maybe. haha.

Here's another thing I want to share with you:

"NEVER despair; but if you do, "Work" in despair."

That was from Edmund Burke.

And remember how a PROVERB goes: "Good sense makes a man slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense."

So, be glorified. That's Proverbs 19:11.

Last, but not the least, this is dedicated to all who has to extend their patience running out to remember this as such:

"The test of good manners: to bear patiently with bad ones. Good manners are made up of small sacrifices."

My note says it was from Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Well then, I believe someone has to reach these kinds of words to be uplifted, hoped, motivated and inspired.

That's what The Pen will always hope and most of all, pray for all. 

Have a wonderful, colorful and meningful 2026 to all!

Steal ME Not

 

 

 

Woe to you!! 

I said that to whoever has been trying to steal this blog's account password as warned by Google itself. Anyway, is there really "someone" doing that or it's but "Artificial"? HaHa

Could it be because we are reaching more places? Well then, Welcome!  Hope Google's Translator is doing well, if not the Best, on its job. 

Whatever, God is watching! He never sleeps. He never take a break. Always Attentive. Remember that. 

Having a blog like this is so easy. It is even free from Google service. Why not HAVE SOME PATIENCE to learn, try and have one yourself. Let me tell you, you will even be guided how to do this. so come on, "deja de romper". 

Hello Everyone!

This post is supposed to be my 2026 first one. This is just a WELCOME TO THE PEN 2026!

I don't promise you'll always have one. Since I would never stop writing for as long as my fingers aren't stiffened, I will continue. Stay tuned then.

A new year has started. The old one just left. Bye bye 2025! Hello 2026!

Here now, I will share with you one of my Motivational Boosters.Haha. Whatever was done, was done. Whatever the result, results into TWO, always. No other, but, the GOOD or BAD.

With the GOOD, no problem. It was RIGHT, that's why it was GOOD. With the BAD, whatta a problem. It was BAD, that's why it was WRONG. Whatever is WRONG is the MISTAKE. The BAD. Whatever is RIGHT is the CHOICE.  The GOOD,

I believe, when we choose to be GOOD, we chose GOD. For only GOD IS GOOD.

Jesus has said it, isn't it? In what verse was it? Well, I'll leave it to you to check.

Now, here it is, the value of PERSISTENCE.

 

                                                    PERSISTENCE...

 Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genious is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

 

Thank you, Calvin Coolidge, por sharing to the world your definition of Persistence.

  

The famous, Edgar Cayce, has said:

"Be not overcome with those things that make for discouragements, for HE (GOD) will supply the strength."

 "Ask and it shall be given. Knock and the door shall be opened..." and so on as Jesus promised it will be.

Have faith! "You with little faith..." Go for it, to have it. Believe in yourself, but FIRST OF ALL, believe in God.

 Happy 2026!!
