1.Almighty. Today we thank You for all the blessings You’ve bestowed on us. Thank You for hearing all the unspoken words we couldn’t utter because the hurt was too much to bear. Thank You for mending all our wounds, seen & unseen; and for making the pain more bearable. Aameen!

2.Almighty. Amidst the uncertainty & crisis facing us, we pray for the comfort & safety of everyone across the globe. We need Your guidance & direction. We are completely reliant on You, more so during these challenging times. May we always be grateful for what You have given us!

3.Don’t get involved in people’s drama & dysfunction. There’s a lot of that going on nowadays. As much as they try to engage you, take a step back. If they’re reasonable & open to discussion, you could try advising them. Else, stay clear or you could lose your peace altogether!

4.No matter how badly you’ve messed up, you’re NOT a failure. Don’t entertain that thought if it crosses your mind. As long as you’re seeking forgiveness & trying to get close to the Almighty, He will forgive you. That’s our Merciful Lord. His approval is all you need!

5.Freedom of expression doesn’t give you the right to abuse and insult others. When you engage in such intentional provocation, expect a reaction where things may spiral out of control. Never forget that freedom comes with responsibility. Ethical and moral standards must remain!

6.You’re miserable because you put your hopes in unreliable, undependable people who are always letting you down. That’s what happens when you favor the creation over the Creator. Lay your trust in the One who is omnipresent and constant. The Almighty will never let you down.

7.Today, many lack basic respect usually due to poor upbringing. Remember, good manners & good character are more crucial than outward beauty. When the world treats you badly & everything is against you, do you turn around & give it the same treatment? No! You treat it better.

8.Forgive and move on. It’s powerful. It’s an act of kindness. It’s the beginning of healing. Yet many refuse to do so, preferring to cling on to grudges, resentment & payback time. It’s not worth it. Life’s too short for all that drama. Just forgive & keep that peace in you.

9.Don't insult others or mock them no matter who they are or what they believe. Don't curse or abuse, don't disrespect. You gain absolutely nothing by doing that. In fact, you will make many enemies. Sleep in peace every night knowing you haven't wronged a soul in any way.

10.Learn to be at peace with yourself. It’s something you have to do consciously. It won’t happen overnight. When you finally achieve it, nothing & no one can affect you. You’re totally in sync with your innermost self. No negativity can touch you! Feel the difference!
