One dynamic power, the source of all creation is present here in this very moment. Its power and presence are unmistakable as we witness the change of seasons, the plants that sprout and grow, the cycles of the moon, and the growth of children. All of these things are expressions of this intelligent source of life.
Spirit lives itself through all of its unique creations, which includes me and each one of us. Each one of us is a part of a greater fabric of all of humanity. And not only humanity we are all one with every creature, every drop of water, every wave coming onto the shore. That’s a part of us too on this beautiful planet.
I say a word of blessing that in these uncertain times we are individually anchored in peace, love, faith, and the anticipation of good to come. I hold that mental equivalent of a peaceful, loving world. I cultivate that by feeling love and peace in my own heart. And I practice the tools to be centered, grounded, anchored in spirit, leaning into that power and presence that wants to serve us good and more good. And so when the world seems overwhelming or beyond our control with conflicts on every side, I claim peace in my heart, tranquility in my mind, calm in my attitude as we face the world and share this vibration of peace and love. We may look different, just like the variety of flowers. Even from the same Zinnia seeds, a whole garden of different colored and shaped flowers is amazing. This is Spirit’s life living itself for me to behold.
With great thanksgiving, I know that this is my moment to receive the gift of this amazing life. This light, that lights my way through the darkness, sometimes too allows me to be the light for others. And with gratitude in my heart, knowing that this eternal life goes on, I can let go of old habits and ways of thinking. Anchoring myself over and over again in Spirit’s loving assignment for us - to live life fully and find joy, peace and love. I’m grateful that there’s a higher power that’s helping me do this especially during challenging times.
With a heart filled with appreciation, I release this prayer knowing it’s already accomplished. And so it is, amen.
