Today my prayer will not be petitions and promises. I will not “ask for,” but I will “act with” all that I already possess. I will trust that the words Jesus spoke were true, directions not suggestions, and meant to be applied, not simply appreciated.
I will live in the world of “as if” and I will say to myself: don’t be afraid, act “as if” you have courage, for you do; love “as if” love will heal, because it will; forgive “as if” forgiveness will restore and reconcile, because it does.
And before I fall into sleep tonight, I will say to this day: “Amen.” And I will say to the Spirit, my companion, “thank you.” And I will say to God: “I tried and I will try again in the Light of tomorrow.” Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done. Day by day. Prayer by prayer. Then I will close my eyes and drift into sleep, knowing that I am held in the arms of God.
Amen
Shining Spirit
