Grief

 

There is one Life, one source for all that is, one energy and essence that is in all people, places and situations. I call this all-ness Spirit, and it is peace and love, strength and beauty. Spirit is eternal and infinite, creator of all that is now, all that has ever been, and all that will ever be. There is nothing outside of or beyond the loving presence of Spirit.

This is who I am, who each one of us are. Spirit is right where we are – in us, as us, surrounding and supporting us in every moment. There is no circumstance or situation that is beyond the loving heart of Spirit; no place that is without Spirit’s strength and peace. Whether we recognize it or not, Spirit is always present. Always.

It is from this place of truth that I speak my word as I claim that the miracle working power of Spirit is right where I am and is also with those who I love as well as total strangers. In remembering the eternality of Spirit, I accept for all of us a greater awareness that all is well on the unseen side, and that we are able to provide comfort for each other in loving, supportive, peaceful ways. I declare that loving kindness permeates each person touched by this prayer, and that all are strengthened and supported through the power of love.

With a heart overflowing with gratitude, I simply say thank you.

It is with faith and confidence that I release this, my word, into the immutable law that takes it and makes it so.

And so it is. Amen.
