my prayer for today…

GRANT ME THE COURAGE…

Dear God… I reach my inner voice out into the void… To the deep… To the place where only Presence exists.

Where I have been blind…May I receive the gift of sight. ~ Where I have been deaf… May I receive the gift of sound. ~ Where I am hard… May I be softened. ~ Where I have held back… May I surrender. ~ Where I have refused release… May I forgive. ~ Where I have been silenced… May I learn to use… My voice.

I look into the place, Of the Sacred Fire… And I ask for your presence… To journey with me… Into the darkest of nights…..

I take off my shoes, For in Presence I stand ~ I take off all my identities, And all that I have imagined myself to be, I I lay down my wants ~ And ask now… to receive the gifts… of my Forefathers…

Where you lead, I will follow…. Where you are still, I will wait… Who you serve, I will serve… Who you love, I will love….

Grant me now the courage… To journey onward… Down into the deep. Grant me now the wisdom… To remember… In my dark hours… I am not alone.

Grant me now, I pray… The courage to be a light in the dark.
