Awaiting Illumination 5
This week we have meditated on thoughts and prayers from Marianne Williamson’s book, Illuminata. She incorporates Christian, Judaic, Buddhist and New Age thought in a way that can be helpful for our daily living.
I would like to end the week with an adaptation of a prayer for self.
“Good morning God,
“I'm about to enter a weekend where I hope I can experience
renewal and, maybe, new life!
“Take my tired, depleted self and grant me a safe space
where rebirth is a possibility.
“I feel like I've been through enough;
I am weak, I've made mistakes,
I've blocked my awareness of Your abiding presence.
I am wounded by the demands of the past days and
need a sacred space for healing,
maybe next to a warm fire that can rekindle hope.
“Bring me enough light for today so that I can get through and
arrive at home to discover your renewing power
and energizing embrace.
Looking forward to our time together this weekend, Holy One.”
