Prayer changes us profoundly.”

“PRAYER FOR A RECOVERING CODEPENDENT
What is missing from your constitution right now, my darling, is not empathy, but courage.
It takes fortitude not to leap into somebody else’s suffering with them and call that love.
It takes faith to know that you are not the appointed arbiter of anyone else’s journey.
And it takes humility to admit that you cannot control anyone—
that you might not even understand what you’re looking at.
What you call a “crisis” might be someone else’s awakening, ten thousand lifetimes in the making.
(The awakening, my love, might even be your own.)
And what you call “care” might be dangerous disruption of an ecosystem of unimaginable delicacy.
How hard that person’s soul might have fought its way through the cosmos for millions of ages
to finally arrive here—on the final precipice of egoic collapse.
How close they might be, at last, to freedom.
All they have to do now is shatter.
Maybe stand back.
Maybe let it happen.”

“Prayer for Love
Thank You, Creator of the Universe for the gift of Life you have given me,
Thank You for giving me everything that I have ever needed,
Thank You for the opportunity to experience this beautiful body and this wonderful mind,
Thank You for living inside me with all Your Love and Your pure and boundless Spirit,
with Your warm and radiating Light.
Thank You for using my words, for using my eyes, for using my heart to share your love wherever I go.
I love You just the way you are and because I am your creation, I love myself just the way I am.
Help me to keep the Love and the Peace in my Heart and to make that Love a new way of life, that I may live in Love the rest of my life.
Amen.”
