Toward A New Dawn
Five Prayers for the New Year
Prayer 2
A treasured resource book of mine is Prayers for Healing. For this week at the beginning of a new year, I have chosen five prayers. Again, may you be blessed with enough as the year unfolds – season by season, day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute.
“Infinite Spirit, when I pray each day for shelter for the homeless,
let me not ignore the pet without a home;
“As I ask for protection for those in areas of turmoil and unrest,
let me not forget endangered species of life;
“When I pray that the hungry be fed,
let me be mindful that all God’s creatures have need of sustenance;
“As I ask Divine assistance for those afflicted by fire, flood,
earthquake, storm or drought,
let me remember that this includes every living thing;
“In seeking miracle cures for human disease,
may I also speak for the well being of the planet itself.
“Let the words of my mouth, the meditations of my heart
and the actions of my life be as one,
that I may live each day in harmony with Mother Earth. Amen.”
