Another Prayer

“I will sing of your steadfast love, O Lord, forever;
with my mouth I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations.”
--An old hymn of God’s people (Psalm 89:1)

The weekend is coming! Have a great weekend in whatever you do. May this traditional Celtic prayer empower you today and in future days.

This morning, as I kindle the fire upon my hearth,
I pray that the flame of God’s love may burn in my heart,
And the hearts of all I meet today.

I pray that no envy and malice, no hatred or fear, may smother the flame.

I pray that indifference and apathy, contempt and pride
May not pour like cold water on the fire.

Instead, may the spark of God’s love light the love in my heart,
That it may burn brightly through the day.

And may I warm those that are lonely,
Whose hearts are cold and lifeless,
So that all may know the comfort of God’s love.

Blessings to all!
