On a computer it is usually for the desktop, while on a mobile phone it is usually the background for the 'home' or 'idle' screen. Though most devices come with a default picture, users can usually change it to custom files of their choosing.
A mobile wallpaper is a computer wallpaper sized to fit a mobile device such as a mobile phone, personal digital assistant or digital audio player. The height is often greater than or equal to the width.
Wallpapers can typically be downloaded at no cost from various websites for modern phones such as those running Android, iOS, or Windows Phone operating systems. Modern smartphones allow users to use photos from the web; or photographs captured with a phone's camera can be set as a wallpaper.
Wallpaper images are usually copyrighted as many other digital images found on the Internet. What control do I have over the circumstances of these individuals?
Did I do all that I could in this point in time? What can I do for tomorrow? Merciful God, Open my heart and mind to be fully present to those I interact with throughout the day. Allow me to listen to others without passing judgement or haste to solve what I cannot change. Give me patience and understanding and grant me grace in my shortcomings.
Be with me in times of fatigue and lift me up with the strength to carry out your compassionate love to all those I meet. Be with me at this moment, and guide my thoughts to those places where I could have been more loving in my day and consider how I will improve. Help me to see those places where I was loving and strengthen those parts of me so that I can better do your will. Take a moment to settle. Take a deep breath. Get comfortable. Acknowledge how you are feeling in this moment.
If being calm is hard, acknowledge it. If you find yourself frustrated or stressed, acknowledge it. God wants to be present in all parts of our lives—not just the easy or serene moments. Ask for light and insight as you prepare to review your day. For some that light may come in the form of a sense of the Divine.
Even as we are being asked to distance ourselves from one another socially, ask yourself what connections you find yourself grateful for? Who makes you feel grounded and connected to God? Public health issues have a way of making us recognize how interwoven our lives are with others in society.
It can help us realize who we may often choose not to see or connect with. What connections to others are you becoming more aware of? Who do you normally choose to reach out and connect to? Who do you avoid or refuse to see? If you can, picture the faces of these people. What connections do you take for granted in your life?
What connections impact you the most? Note the emotions you feel when you think of these individuals without judging or overanalyzing. Simply acknowledge them, pay attention, and listen to where God may be speaking.
As you think of the ways we are connected or disconnected to one another, pick a connection or lack thereof that seems important, significant, or is manifesting itself the strongest.
If you are a person of faith, take a moment to pray with it. God gifted us with limitless creativity and imagination. Even in this time of separation and possible isolation, what is one way you can maintain meaningful connection to others—whether directly, through technology, or intentional focus and attention? Take a deep breath and moment of quiet. When you are ready, return to your day. It seems that I return to you most easily when I need comfort, O God.
Hello… here I am again, knowing that you are waiting for me with love and warming light. In the shadow of your wings I find respite and relief that feeds my innermost self and renews my soul. Day and night, you are my refuge. These uncertain days of news conferences and quarantines tempt me to assume the worst for my loved ones, myself and my community. Now I am relying on you to lead and guide me, to put my anxiety in its place. Help me see it as a human response that keeps me conscious of the seriousness of this moment, but do not let it overwhelm my spirit.
Buoyed by your love, I choose each day to let peace reign in me. Help me to offer them your tenderness. Those in my community who are suffering need care. Help me to be generous and to keep contact with the forgotten. Our world calls for cooperation among national leaders, scientists, health care providers, and all who are instrumental in overcoming this crisis.
May my prayers and support be with them all. I have come back to you, and I will return, knowing that your open arms will never fail. God of hope, may your love blanket the earth, as you teach us to live more generously today than yesterday.
May my anxiety be transformed into love. May we who are merely inconvenienced, remember those whose lives are at stake. May we who have no risk factors remember those most vulnerable. May those who have the luxury of working from home remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent.
May those who have the flexibility to care for our children when schools close remember those who have no options. May we who have to cancel a trip remember those who have no safe place to go. May those who settle for quarantine at home remember those who have no home. As fear grips our country, let us choose love during this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other, let us find ways to be the loving embrace to God and our neighbor.
God of the present moment, God who in Jesus stills the storm and soothes the frantic heart; bring hope and courage to all who wait or work in uncertainty. Bring them courage to endure what cannot be avoided, for your will is health and wholeness; you are God, and we need you. Lord Jesus, you came into the world to heal our infirmities and to endure our sufferings. You went about healing all and bringing comfort to those in pain and need.
We come before you now in this time of illness asking that you may be the source of our strength in body, courage in spirit and patience in pain. May we join ourselves more closely to you on the cross and in your suffering that through them we may draw our patience and hope. Assist us and restore us to health so that united more closely to your family, the Church, we may give praise and honour to your name. Father of goodness and love, hear our prayers for the sick members of our community and for all who are in need.
Amid mental and physical suffering may they find consolation in your healing presence. Show your mercy as you close wounds, cure illness, make broken bodies whole and free downcast spirits. May these special people find lasting health and deliverance, and so join us in thanking you for all your gifts. We ask this through the Lord Jesus who healed those who believed.
Come to our aid now, in the midst of the global spread of the coronavirus, that we may experience your healing love. Heal those who are sick with the virus. May they regain their strength and health through quality medical care.
Heal us from our fear, which prevents nations from working together and neighbors from helping one another. Heal us from our pride, which can make us claim invulnerability to a disease that knows no borders.
Jesus Christ, healer of all, stay by our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow. Be with the families of those who are sick or have died. As they worry and grieve, defend them from illness and despair. May they know your peace. Be with the doctors, nurses, researchers and all medical professionals who seek to heal and help those affected and who put themselves at risk in the process.
May they know your protection and peace. Be with the leaders of all nations. Give them the foresight to act with charity and true concern for the well-being of the people they are meant to serve.
Give them the wisdom to invest in long-term solutions that will help prepare for or prevent future outbreaks. May they know your peace, as they work together to achieve it on earth. Whether we are home or abroad, surrounded by many people suffering from this illness or only a few, Jesus Christ, stay with us as we endure and mourn, persist and prepare. In place of our anxiety, give us your peace.
O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick. You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need. We are certain that you will provide, so that, as you did at Cana of Galilee, joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial. He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us, through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God.
Do not despise our pleas — we who are put to the test — and deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Ignatius calls us to go forth and set the world on fire. We embrace this metaphor because we believe our purpose is inextricably linked to helping others clarify and attain theirs.
But how do we set our world on fire in this age of sickness, uncertainty, and fear. How do we serve and lead when we are disconnected from each other and the physical space that unifies our team.
Who will show us how to press on? Lives perish while the flames of leaders around us dance erratically in the blistering winds of change their lights flicker to near extinction their sparks barely visible struggle to light the way. We cannot wait for them to lead. Let us turn to our God and to the sacred light of the Holy Spirit that burns in each of us. Let our spirits draw closer to each other in spite of the distance between us and march boldly into tomorrow. Maybe it helps to imagine this time as a dousing of gasoline tossed onto our already steady burning flames of purpose and love.
Let this accelerant consume and quicken us for the greater good. Shine on my friends may the bright flames of our spirits burning in unison create a bonfire that sparks hope ignites faith illuminates love and lights the way. In this uncertain age a time when our brothers and sisters yearn for peace and light we are called and stand ready to do magis to do more than we did before. To burn brighter. Andre Health Care.
God, Thank you for helping us to make it through this difficult year. We are constantly aware of how much we need you, your grace, your strength, your power working through even the toughest days. Help us to keep our focus first on you this season. Please forgive us for giving too much time and attention to other things, for looking to other people before coming to you first.
Help us to reflect again, on what Christmas is really all about. Thank you that you came to give new life, peace, hope, and joy.
Step One Prayer In this moment, I do not have to control anyone, including me. And if I feel uncomfortable with what another person is doing or not doing, I can remind myself that I am powerless over this person and I am powerless over my compulsion to act in inappropriate ways.
