There is a
power in the universe that expresses itself as life. This energy of life is found everywhere; in
plants, animals and all living beings. Its character is loving, powerful, joyful, and
giving.
Just as this
life energy animates my life, so it lives the lives of those around me. Each one is life in expression, unique, free
to make choices.
This prayer
speaks to families needing new ways of relating. In this tender time,
remembering that the divine spirit lives and flows through all life, I declare
that this spiritual wisdom is available to each one of us, and we have the
choice to use it compassionately.
Families are
surrounded by this loving presence that supplies infinite ideas for creative
new family relationships. Each of us
brings our ways of seeing joy in the world to the table. We learn from each other. Trust grows
This loving
spirit intends only well for us and we get to receive that goodness with our
families. As each one nourishes
themselves in this grace of spirit, each becomes more resilient and able to
connect again with others. At God’s
speed this transformation takes place, families regain balance.
And with
gratitude for the way this spirit works, I release this prayer to the activity
of those spiritual laws that are already making this so.
And so it
is. Amen.
