This Day
if I am the deliverer of pain…. may I inflict
only what is necessary to disturb your sleep…Only
enough to free your suffering.
This Day
if I am the carrier of false pride and
bravado…may it be so to teach you of its emptiness
and bring you humility,
This Day
if I enslave you…may it be so that you
discover your freedom.
…
This Night
if I bring you disrespect… may it be so
that you learn how to honor yourself more tomorrow.
This Night
if I speak false words… may they be so
translucent you are able to breathe through them and
discover your truth
…
This Morning
if I raise my voice in anger… may it be
to expose my weakness so that you may become
strong.
This Morning
if I continue to shun you. may it
only be done so that you embrace yourself.
This Morning
if I leave you. may it be done in order
for you to grow and reclaim your soul.
However…
This Day,
if 1 bring you Joy…may you see its
reflection and know it is in you.
This Day
if I bring you Peace… may you feel its
presence in the very space you fill.
This Day
if 1 bring you Forgiveness… may you know
its freedom and sense its healing.
This Evening
if I show you Tenderness…may it
warm your heart and ignite its flame.
This Evening
if I show you Patience. may it bring
you time to find serenity.
This Evening
if I show you Truth. may it reveal to
you its eternal sovereignty
This Morning
if I support you… may it be done for
your infinite expansion.
This Morning
if I whisper your name in
reverence. may you resonate with your sound.
This Morning
if you surrender to my love for
you…may you come to know it’s boundlessness.

Prayer For The Pilgrim
Oh Divine Creator… My Beloved
Light of this world
and beyond all measure, hear my humble prayer.
I have walked many nights in search of you
and found you today, waiting patiently for me in my holy temple.In total surrender, I come before you.
My thoughts silenced so that I may hear only yours.
My fears and doubts released so I may move without hesitation
and bend to thy will alone.
All desires vanquished so only my breath remains.
Stillness… sweet stillness, as I dissolve completely
into your eternal embrace.
