Toward A New Dawn
Five Prayers for the New Year
Prayer 4
Prayers for Healing is a wonderful and favorite resource book in my library. This week I have chosen five prayers from the book. Following is the fourth prayer for the week. Again, may you be blessed with enough as the year unfolds – season by season, day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute.
“Help me to let go of my preoccupations with the future.
Give me the strength to stop my futile attempts
To predict and control the future.
Let me see no value in my plan of what the future should be.
Rid me of my senseless questions about tomorrow
And of all my desires to exercise control of others.
“Remind me that my fears and uncertainties of tomorrow are only related to my unfounded fear of You.
“Help me be still; help me listen and love.
“Let me feel Your Freedom within me,
And let me laugh at the illusions that my ego once made me feel were so real.
Let me be the Light; let me be joy; let me know that
I am
The reflection of You wherever I am,
And wherever I go.”
