A Prayer

God thank you for another day and a second chance at life. May I remember where I was and appreciate where I am. May I use this opportunity well.

I am your creation. May I channel your creativity so that it heals myself and those around me. May I share my creations for the benefit of others.

I need your help to transform my suffering into understanding, compassion, joy, and peace, and you provide everything I need in this present moment. May you guide me towards my path when I stray, give me hope when I doubt, illuminate the trail when I am lost, and grant me courage to take the first step.

Your communities are divine. May I surround myself with others walking this path; be they human or animals, living or dead. May we all bear witness to the power, love, and peace in connection, impermanence and gratitude.

May I be safe, may I be happy, may I be healthy, and may I have the things I need to live at ease. May I be filled with loving kindness and do your will with openness and curiosity; especially when life brings uncertainty.
