Prayer
Life. It’s been a bit much in some ways as of late. I find myself fighting for control, something, anything I can do to MAKE things better. I stop for a breath of awareness and recognize the literal pain of pretending there is anything at all that I can do, is causing me.
I know what my Spirit is asking me for: Surrender.
To be clear, surrender is NOT quitting, not giving up, not saying I don’t care. It IS a recognition of a time to release and let go knowing we never had control anyway.
What came to me next is a prayer of sorts, because I’m not a good prayer. I’m a good “let’s talk this through-er.” I share with you this simple intention of setting down a burden too large to hold…and a realization that somethings, all things really, are in a constant state of unraveling and becoming something different.
So for today, I simply offer this.
Source of all things, allow me to rest in your mystery as it unfolds before me. Let me see clearly without judgement your outcomes for I only know this limited human vision and I realize there is a grand orchestration of becoming that is constant. Give me peace in my heart for this journey as I commit myself to putting my feet on the path of my day with intentions for all good things: abundance, prosperity, clarity, wellbeing, service and witness.
Help me to be kind to myself and others as we dance into and through moments that lead to hours and days and years that create a life that from its beginning only knows its destiny is change. Help me to see the magic, and lose the ties of harshness, holding and resentments that cause me to push up against those changes. Let me be attentive to my feelings and emotions so that this full human experience is not lost nor wasted for each precious moment is never to come again. Help me be fully present in this mystery of unfolding and be curious of what is yet to come.
And so it is.
Forever the journey, Anne
