A Prayer

Lord

help me to continually realize your living presence

within me and around me

protecting and guiding me through all my activities

day and night

in all places.

Help this mind to remember

that it is only serving as a vehicle for your love.

Assist this body to remain conscious of you.

Help this vehicle to stay on track

and fulfill the purpose which you intended.

Lord

help me to see that this physical person

is only a vessel of your Spirit

and that I am not ever separate from you,

that my true nature is revealed in you,

that we are one in Spirit.

Give me the strength

to overcome my fears,

my self imposed limitations and delusions,

and continually stretch my capacity to receive your grace

and grow in your love.

Help me to love myself enough

to be unconditional in my love for others.

Show me how I might be of service

to society,

to the planet.

Use this simple soul to share your love

with everyone I see

everywhere I go

all the time

every day.

Amen
