Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Father, may the choices I make today reflect the Voice of Truth that points me in the way of life everlasting. If I should instead choose to go by my feelings about a matter I am sure to make a mistake I’ll later regret. But when I follow Your commands, they are not based upon…

Father, it is in our weaknesses that Your power becomes more visible in our lives. The “thorn in our flesh” is representative of those trials common to all followers of Christ.

Father, You know the exact number of words that will flow from my lips today, some of them meaningful and others meaningless. Would You help me to be conscious of the words I speak to others and make me sensitive to those who need caring words. Help me to look not only to my own…
