My Prayer for Our Journey
As we begin our second month of 2009, a prayer for us as we journey through life. May we have deeper relationships with those we love, with our friends and neighbors, with our work associates. Blessings to you on your journey.
May our eyes remain open even in the face of tragedy.
May we not become disheartened,
May we find in the dissolving of our apathy, the cup of the broken heart.
May we discover the gift of the fire burning in the chamber of our soul—
Burning great and bright enough to transform any poison.
May we offer the power of our sorrow
to the service of something greater than ourselves.
May our guilt not rise up to form yet another defensive wall.
May the suffering we see and endure purify and not paralyze us.
May we endure; may sorrow bond us and never separate us.
