Awaiting Illumination 4
Occasionally I like to share helpful thoughts other sojourners have penned. This week’s sojourner, Marianne Williamson, incorporates Christian, Judaic, Buddhist and New Age thought in a way that is helpful to our daily living.
Today selection, an adaptation of a prayer for difficult, depressing feelings, is from her book, Illuminata.
“Hello God?
“I feel a mess-- too focused on pain, anxiety and,
dare I say it, depression.
“I feel a mess-- shackled by chains of fear and sometimes,
dare I say it, paranoia.
“I feel a mess-- all the stuff I've been stuffing for far too long;
stuff that, dare I say it, I truly believe you've known in great details
for a long, long time!
“Is there a bit of light for me today?
Is there a chance that a chain could be loosed or maybe unlocked?
Is there a possibility that you could receive some of my dirty laundry from the suitcase of my stuff.
“Hello God.”
