Write a Prayer-a-Day Project

What are we called to be today?  Mentor?  Friend?  Advocate?  Antagonist?  All this, and more.  At any given moment there is no telling the importance we’ll play in the life of another.  We must never take for granted the enormous responsibility laid at our feet, nor underestimate how much power we hold.  To use it wisely, we must imbue our actions with Love.  May we Live with Love, and be a Blessing to the world.  For Action with loving Intention we give thanks.  Blessed Be, and Amen.

We are grateful for unexpected accomplishments.  We know not from which direction our challenges will come: they often knock us sideways.  Our resiliency will see us through, drawing from reserves we knew not of.  We take pride in success, humility in defeat, always learning, always growing.  Such is Life, and for this we are thankful.  Blessed Be, and Amen.

For this day, in all its fullness, and with all its challenges, we give thanks.  May we recall the many blessings we’ve been given, especially for this singular opportunity to Be thankful.  We are worthy – now let us go live into that worth.  For Life we are truly thankful.  Blessed Be, and Amen.

In celebrating our blessings, it is tempting sometimes to slip into guilt that perhaps our abundance comes from the suffering of others.  It is a difficult karmic reconciliation to make.  We are born into circumstance, whether it be privilege or poverty.  Our path is to make the most with what we are given.  It is not wrong to celebrate our good fortune – it is merely a call to continue our work towards a greater world for all.  Let us be thankful for our opportunity to do better by each other, and to rededicate ourselves to the mission of our lives.  For shared blessings we give thanks.  Blessed Be, and Amen.

Let us say Thank You not through compulsion, but rather because it is the only prayer we know in our hearts.  Blessed Be, and Amen.

Let us give ourselves over to the breezes of Be-ing, leaning in to the full force of our existence.  Trust the gravity of time and experience.  Have faith in intrinsic understanding.  We shall be sustained; we have the resources necessary to withstand, to heal, and to forge on.  Trust is a virtue, and we owe it to ourselves and to each other to cultivate it.  May we always find the courage to trust.  We are grateful for our Faith.  Blessed Be, and Amen.

And now we begin, as we are wont to do.  We begin rest; we begin healing; we begin to find ourselves anew.  What will tomorrow bring?  What will we learn today?  May our perspectives be wide, may our revelations be divine, and may our hearts be ever open.  We are each other’s blessing – let us be thankful for blessings.  Blessed Be, and Amen.

For the joy of creation and pure imagination!  For the joy of connecting with others!  For the joy of giving delight!  For the joy of being present!  For the joy of sharing the moment!  For the joy of involvement!  For the joy of receiving!  Joy, joy, joy in abundance!  May we never conserve this precious resource!  We are truly thankful.  Blessed Be, and Amen.

Simply, thanks for all that is our lives.  May we find comfort in our ills, guidance in our troubles, and love in our loneliness.  Let us live into the presence of each other.  Blessed Be, and Amen.

May today’s enterprises be filled with delight!  May we seek to connect deeply with everyone we encounter.  Whatever the task, may we perform it with enthusiasm, skill, and reverence.  What we do and how we do matters – our actions are universal force which we yield.  We have a responsibility to use that force as creatively and meaningfully as possible.  So act accordingly, and make meaningful choices.  The lives we save will most certainly be our own.  For Holy action we give thanks.  Blessed Be, and Amen.
