You'll regret it if you get married, you'll regret it if you don't get married. You'll regret it if you have kids and you'll regret it if you don't. Kierkegaard said this 200 years ago as follows - whatever you choose, you'll regret it, because the problem isn't in your choices, it's in romanticizing your life. A person always finds an untravelled path alluring and mysterious. That's why the issue isn't making the right choice. It's choosing and deciding which regret you'll live with. In life, we must choose our regret.

Dear God,
Thank You for the gift of a new day. Thank You for waking us up this morning and giving us another opportunity to live, work, learn, serve and become better.
Lord, we commit this Tuesday into Your hands. Go before us in everything we do. Give us wisdom to make good decisions, courage to face what comes our way, and grace to handle both the good and the difficult moments of this day.
Bless the work of our hands and help us to be diligent, honest and faithful in whatever we do. May we recognize the opportunities You place before us and have the wisdom to make the most of them.
Protect us and our families. Keep us safe, guide our steps, and give us hearts that remain grateful even in the ordinary moments of life.
May this Tuesday be a day of progress, good decisions, meaningful work and quiet blessings. And whatever the day brings, help us to face it with faith, wisdom and a grateful heart.
We commit this day to You, Lord. Have Your way in our lives.
In Jesusβ name, we pray
Dear God,
Thank You for the precious gift of life. Thank You for carrying us into this new week. You are our Rock and our Fortress, the One we fully lean on.
Lord, as we step into this new week, we surrender our work, our families, and every plan into Your hands. Go before us, establish the work of our hands and silence every voice that rises to oppose what You have ordained for us.
Where there is confusion, bring clarity. Where there is fear, release boldness. Where there is delay, usher in divine speed. Where there is lack, provide more than enough. Shield us and our loved ones from every harm.
This week, we declare that we will walk in purpose, we will see progress, and we will move in grace and power. No weapon formed against us shall prosper.
In Jesusβ name we pray
Dear God,
We come before You this Saturday morning with hearts full of gratitude. Thank You for the precious gift of life and for Your steadfast love that never fails us.
We praise You for Your goodness and faithfulness that carry us through every season. All the beautiful names belong to You - our Comforter, our Protector, our Healer, and our Provider. We lift Your name in adoration.
Lord, we ask for Your guidance, blessing, and protection throughout this weekend. Go before us, make every crooked path straight, and surround us with Your peace. Keep us safe, order our steps, and may everything we do bring glory and honor to Your name.
In Jesusβ name we pray
Stephen A. Smith looks visibly betrayed as he reveals he took 3 COVID shots and wore a mask just like Fauci told him, and he STILL got COVID, and it almost killed him.
SMITH: βWe were told, βHey, you ainβt gonna get Covid if you do that.β And I GOT COVID!β
βAnd damn it, it almost killed me! Going into 2022, Iβm in the hospital 90 minutes before the ball is about to drop, and the doctor says, βWeβve been at this for three plus weeks. You got double pneumonia. You look really bad. If this antibiotic and this steroid do not work, Mr. Smith, Iβm sorry, weβre gonna have to call your family. Looks that bad...ββ
βAnd through the grace of God, three hours later, I felt better after they gave me that steroid and that antibiotic. But those were the longest three hours of my life because I thought it was over.β
βAnd I remember I had done exactly what Dr. Anthony Fauci was imploring us all to do.β
This is the look of a man who finally understands he was being lied to this whole time.
Keep your problems smaller than your life. A flat tire is a flat tire. A bad meeting is a bad meeting. A canceled flight is just an extra two hours. These things become catastrophes when you let them. But they stay manageable when you remember the depth of your real life- the people you love, the work you care about, the beautiful years still ahead. Zoom out. Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.
Dear God,
Thank You for the gift of life and for the blessing of this new Friday. We are grateful for Your love, mercy, and faithfulness.
As we begin this day, go before us and guide our steps. Open doors that no one can shut, bless the work of our hands, and help us walk in Your perfect will.
Protect us and our families from all harm. Fill our hearts with peace, grant us wisdom in every decision, and let Your favor surround us wherever we go.
We declare that this is the day You have made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. May today be filled with grace, breakthroughs, and countless reasons to give You thanks.
In Jesus' name we pray
@petuniausa@DearS_o_n You can do whatever you want with your life... You just won't be forced to do it. The world will be fine, you're not the first nor the last person to predict disaster. Guess what? We're still here.
