I Am There



Do you need Me?

I am there.

You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by.

You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice.

You cannot feel Me, yet I am the power at work in your hands.

I am at work, though you do not understand My ways.

I am at work, though you do not recognize My works.

I am not strange visions. I am not mysteries.

Only in absolute stillness, beyond self, can you know Me as I am, and then but as a feeling and a faith.

Yet I am there. Yet I hear. Yet I answer.

When you need Me, I am there.

Even if you deny Me, I am there.

Even when you feel most alone, I am there.

Even in your fears, I am there.

Even in your pain, I am there.

I am there when you pray and when you do not pray.

I am in you, and you are in Me.

Only in your mind can you feel separate from Me, for only in your mind are the mists of “yours” and “mine.”

Yet only with your mind can you know Me and experience Me.

Empty your heart of empty fears.

When you get yourself out of the way, I am there.

You can of yourself do nothing, but I can do all.

And I am in all.

Though you may not see the good, good is there, for I am there.

I am there because I have to be, because I am.

Only in Me does the world have meaning; only out of Me does the world take form; only because of Me does the world go forward.

I am the law on which the movement of the stars and the growth of living cells are founded.

I am the love that is the law’s fulfilling. I am assurance. I am peace. I am oneness. I am the law that you can live by. I am the love that you can cling to. I am your assurance. I am your peace. I am one with you. I am.

Though you fail to find Me, I do not fail you.

Though your faith in Me is unsure, My faith in you never wavers, because I know you, because I love you.

Beloved, I am there.



—James Dillet Freeman



Thank you....Lord..In the words of Emerson we thank you this morning.....

For each new morning with its light,

For rest and shelter of the night,

For health and food,

For love and friends,

For everything Thy goodness sends.



ralph waldo emerson - 1803-1882





Deep peace of the running wave to you.

Deep peace of the flowing air to you.

Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.

Deep peace of the shining stars to you.

Deep peace of the infinite peace to you.

Bless, O God,

all who struggle with cancer.

Empower them with hope

for each and every day.

Provide them with loving

and tender care, laughter,

and the support of love.

Grant them

courage when they are afraid,

comfort when they are in pain,

and your blessing

when all else seems hopeless,

that in their fight with illness

they may continue to praise you

and glorify your name.

Amen. Vienna Cobb Anderson



The unknown is terrifying,

responsibility is overwhelming,

the untapped anger cannot be borne.

Hear our cry, O God of love,

for all so trapped in fear.

Open our hearts to trust

your presence to guide us

in the unknown places;

teach us to know

you will support us in all

that we undertake;

free us to share with you

the rage within, knowing

you will never desert us.

Amen.

Vienna Cobb Anderson



May we discover through pain and torment,

the strength to live with grace and humor.

May we discover through doubt and anguish,

the strength to live with dignity and holiness.

May we discover through suffering and fear,

the strength to move toward healing.

May it come to pass that we be restored to health and to vigor.

May Life grant us wellness of body, spirit, and mind.

And if this cannot be so, may we find in this transformation and passage

moments of meaning, opportunities for love

and the deep and gracious calm that comes

when we allow ourselves to move on.

Rabbi Rami M. Shapiro

With Every Breath I Take Today



With every breath I take today,

I vow to be awake;



And every step I take,

I vow to take with a grateful heart--



So I may see with eyes of love

into the hearts of all I meet,



To ease their burden when I can

And touch them with a smile of peace.



Blue Iris Sangha

Most merciful God,

bless all who have suffered trauma

in their lives.

Support them with love

during their time of shock.

Grace them with peace

as they wrestle with the challenges

of each day.

Sustain them in hope

as they prepare for the days ahead.

Amen.

The little plans I tried to carry

Have failed

O' Dear God.

But, I will not sorrow

I will pause a little while

And try again tomorrow.

Anushree Karnani





O Lord, grant me to greet the coming day in peace, help me in all things to rely upon your holy will. In every hour of the day reveal your will to me. Bless my dealings with all who surround me. Teach me to treat all that comes to throughout the day with peace of soul and with firm conviction that your will governs all. In all my deeds and words, guide my thoughts and feelings. In unforeseen events, let me not forget that all are sent by you. Teach me to act firmly and wisely, without embittering and embarrassing others. Give me strength to bear the fatigue of the coming day with all that it shall bring. Direct my will, teach me to pray. And you, yourself, pray in me. Amen.





- St. Philaret of Moscow



Christian, Eastern Orthodox



@

May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, superficial relationships, so that you will live deep within your heart.



May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression and exploitation of people so that you will work for justice, equality and peace.



May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation and war, so that you will reach out your hand to comfort them and change their pain into joy.



And may God bless you with the foolishness to think that you can make a difference in the world, so that you will do the things which others tell you cannot be done.

A Prayer”

by Max Ehrmann



Let me do my work each day; and if the darkened hours of despair

overcome me, may I not forget the strength that comforted me

in the desolation of other times.



May I still remember the bright hours that found me walking over

the silent hills of my childhood, or dreaming on the margin of a quiet

river, when a light glowed within me, and I promised my early God

to have courage amid the tempests of the changing years.



Spare me from bitterness and from the sharp passions of unguarded

moments. May I not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit.

Though the world knows me not, may my thoughts and actions be

such as shall keep me friendly with myself.



Lift up my eyes from the earth, and let me not forget the uses of the

stars. Forbid that I should judge others lest I condemn myself.

Let me not follow the clamor of the world, but walk calmly in my

path.



Give me a few friends who will love me for what I am; and keep ever

burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope.



And though age and infirmity overtake me, and I come not within

sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me still to be thankful for

life, and for time's olden memories that are good and sweet; and

may the evening's twilight find me gentle still.

Jackie Deshannon - Put A Little Love In Your Heart Lyrics



Think of your fellow man

lend him a helping hand

put a little love in your heart.

You see it's getting late

oh please don't hesitate

put a little love in your heart.

And the world will be a better place

and the world will be a better place

for you and me

you just wait and see

A Vow for Health & Joy



I vow to offer joy

to one person in the morning

and to help relieve the grief

of one person in the afternoon.

I vow to live simply and sanely,

content with just a few possessions,

and to keep my body healthy.



I vow to let go

of all worries and anxiety

in order to be light and free.





Thich Nhat Hanh





Do more than belong: participate.

Do more than care: help.

Do more than believe: practice.

Do more than be fair: be kind.

Do more than forgive: forget.

Do more than dream: work.”



William Arthur Ward





Dear God, thank You for this day, thank You for allowing me to see it. Lord, I thank You for life. Praying for peace....Praying for those who are suffering...May those who grieve be comforted and gain peace through the Light within them....Lord, make us all instruments of thy peace....A prayer of warmth and caring for all those feeling alone and scared.... I thank you for my family and friends and this wonderful board...xoxo,Patti





Quote:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings. Thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.



Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as

long as possible. Thank you, Lord, that I can see. Many are blind.



Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising. Thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.



Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, and my children are so loud. Thank you, Lord, for my family. There are many who are lonely.



Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced. Thank you, Lord, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.



Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous. Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job.



Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest. Thank you, Lord, for life.

"When we walk to the edge of all the light we have,



and take the step into the darkness of the unknown,



we must believe that one of two things will happen;



there will be something solid for us to stand on.....



or we will be taught to fly."





Patrick Overton







For those who suffer,

and those who cry this day,

give them repose, Lord;

a pause in their burdens.

Let there be minutes

where they experience peace,

not of man

but of angels.

Love them, Lord,

when others cannot.

Hold them, Lord,

when we fail with human arms.

Hear their prayers

and give them the ability to hear You back

in whatever language they best understand.



Margaret A. Davidson



Somewhere, out at the edges, the night

Is turning and the waves of darkness

Begin to brighten the shore of dawn.



The heavy dark falls back to earth

And the freed air goes wild with light,

The heart fills with fresh, bright breath

And thoughts stir to give birth to colour.





I arise today



In the name of Silence

Womb of the Word,

In the name of Stillness

Home of Belonging,

In the name of the Solitude

Of the Soul and the Earth.



I arise today



Blessed by all things,

Wings of breath,

Delight of eyes,

Wonder of whisper,

Intimacy of touch,

Eternity of soul,

Urgency of thought,

Miracle of health,

Embrace of God.



May I live this day



Compassionate of heart,

Gentle in word,

Gracious in awareness,

Courageous in thought,

Generous in love.



--John O'Donohue, "Anam Cara"

Mother Teresa

There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.





[bSlow me down, Lord!

Ease the pounding of my heart

By the quieting of my mind.

Steady my harried pace

With a vision of the eternal reach of time.

Give me,

Amidst the confusions of my day,

The calmness of the everlasting hills.

Break the tensions of my nerves

With the soothing music

Of the singing streams

That live in my memory.

Help me to know

The magical power of sleep,

Teach me the art

Of taking minute vacations

Of slowing down

To look at a flower;

To chat with an old friend

Or make a new one;

To pat a stray dog;

To watch a spider build a web;

To smile at a child;

Or to read a few lines from a good book.

Remind me each day

That the race is not always to the swift;

That there is more to life

Than increasing its speed.

Let me look upward

Into the branches of the towering oak

And know that it grew great and strong

Because it grew slowly and well.

Slow me down, Lord,

And inspire me to send my roots deep

Into the soil of life's enduring values

That I may grow toward the stars

Of my greater destiny.



Bruce Barton

Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance

Meet others with compassion,

Be a source of healing energies,

And face each day with hope and joy.

Sunlight filtering in my window ---

Chasing the night shadows away ---

The dawning of a new day.



A day in which I may enjoy to the fullest

God’s splendor in creation ---

How marvelous are His works!



The calming breeze

Blowing upon my face ---

The peaceful sounds

Of the ocean waves lapping against the shore.



The beauty of a mountaintop ---

Looking out over endless expansion of earth and sky.

A brighter horizon ---



Oh, what a glorious day it is!

For my God has thus made it for me to behold

The wonders of His hand ---

CROWNING TOUCHES of His everlasting love.

Earth Teach Me to Remember !

Earth teach me stillness
as the grasses are stilled with light.
Earth teach me suffering
as old stones suffer with memory.
Earth teach me humility
as blossoms are humble with beginning.
Earth Teach me caring
as the mother who secures her young.
Earth teach me courage
as the tree which stands alone.
Earth teach me limitation
as the ant which crawls on the ground.
Earth teach me freedom
as the eagle which soars in the sky.
Earth teach me resignation
as the leaves which die in the fall.
Earth teach me regeneration
as the seed which rises in the spring.
Earth teach me to forget myself
as melted snow forgets its life.
Earth teach me to remember kindness
as dry fields weep in the rain.


Ute, A Native North American Prayer





Lord, behold our family here assembled.
We thank you for this place in which we dwell,
for the love that unites us,
for the peace accorded to us this day,
for the hope with which we expect the morrow;
for the health, the work, the food and the bright skies
that make our lives delightful;
for our friends in all parts of the earth. Amen.

- Robert Louis Stevenson

Make Me Strong in Spirit


Make me strong in spirit,

Let me act in wisdom,
Conquer my fear and doubt,
Discover my own hidden gifts,

Meet others with compassion,
Be a source of healing energies,
And face each day with hope and joy.

Life is to be lived to its fullest so that death is just another chapter. Memories of our lives, our works and our deeds will continue in others.

My soul takes refuge in the shadow of Your wings. Close to You is where I want to be. You are my strength. You are my God, You are my king. And all I want is what You want for me. ~Rick Founds



Prayer for the Sick
Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight, and give your angels charge over those who sleep.

Tend your sick ones, O Lord Christ.
Rest your weary ones.
Bless your dying ones.
Soothe your suffering ones.
Pity your afflicted ones.
Shield your joyous ones.
And for all your love's sake. Amen.

Saint Augustine




Violence never again!
War never again!
Terrorism never again!
In God's name,
may all religions bring upon earth
justice and peace,
forgiveness, life and love!

I Am There

Do you need Me?
I am there.
You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by.
You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice.
You cannot feel Me, yet I am the power at work in your hands.
I am at work, though you do not understand My ways.
I am at work, though you do not recognize My works.
I am not strange visions. I am not mysteries.
Only in absolute stillness, beyond self, can you know Me as I am, and then but as a feeling and a faith.
Yet I am there. Yet I hear. Yet I answer.
When you need Me, I am there.
Even if you deny Me, I am there.
Even when you feel most alone, I am there.
Even in your fears, I am there.
Even in your pain, I am there.
I am there when you pray and when you do not pray.
I am in you, and you are in Me.
Only in your mind can you feel separate from Me, for only in your mind are the mists of “yours” and “mine.”
Yet only with your mind can you know Me and experience Me.
Empty your heart of empty fears.
When you get yourself out of the way, I am there.
You can of yourself do nothing, but I can do all.
And I am in all.
Though you may not see the good, good is there, for I am there.
I am there because I have to be, because I am.
Only in Me does the world have meaning; only out of Me does the world take form; only because of Me does the world go forward.
I am the law on which the movement of the stars and the growth of living cells are founded.
I am the love that is the law’s fulfilling. I am assurance. I am peace. I am oneness. I am the law that you can live by. I am the love that you can cling to. I am your assurance. I am your peace. I am one with you. I am.
Though you fail to find Me, I do not fail you.
Though your faith in Me is unsure, My faith in you never wavers, because I know you, because I love you.
Beloved, I am there.

—James Dillet Freeman

Thank you....Lord..In the words of Emerson we thank you this morning.....
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

ralph waldo emerson - 1803-1882


Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the infinite peace to you.

Bless, O God,
all who struggle with cancer.
Empower them with hope
for each and every day.
Provide them with loving
and tender care, laughter,
and the support of love.
Grant them
courage when they are afraid,
comfort when they are in pain,
and your blessing
when all else seems hopeless,
that in their fight with illness
they may continue to praise you
and glorify your name.
Amen. Vienna Cobb Anderson

The unknown is terrifying,
responsibility is overwhelming,
the untapped anger cannot be borne.
Hear our cry, O God of love,
for all so trapped in fear.
Open our hearts to trust
your presence to guide us
in the unknown places;
teach us to know
you will support us in all
that we undertake;
free us to share with you
the rage within, knowing
you will never desert us.
Amen.
Vienna Cobb Anderson

May we discover through pain and torment,
the strength to live with grace and humor.
May we discover through doubt and anguish,
the strength to live with dignity and holiness.
May we discover through suffering and fear,
the strength to move toward healing.
May it come to pass that we be restored to health and to vigor.
May Life grant us wellness of body, spirit, and mind.
And if this cannot be so, may we find in this transformation and passage
moments of meaning, opportunities for love
and the deep and gracious calm that comes
when we allow ourselves to move on.
Rabbi Rami M. Shapiro
With Every Breath I Take Today

With every breath I take today,
I vow to be awake;

And every step I take,
I vow to take with a grateful heart--

So I may see with eyes of love
into the hearts of all I meet,

To ease their burden when I can
And touch them with a smile of peace.

Blue Iris Sangha

Most merciful God,
bless all who have suffered trauma
in their lives.
Support them with love
during their time of shock.
Grace them with peace
as they wrestle with the challenges
of each day.
Sustain them in hope
as they prepare for the days ahead.
Amen.

The little plans I tried to carry
Have failed
O' Dear God.
But, I will not sorrow
I will pause a little while
And try again tomorrow.
Anushree Karnani


O Lord, grant me to greet the coming day in peace, help me in all things to rely upon your holy will. In every hour of the day reveal your will to me. Bless my dealings with all who surround me. Teach me to treat all that comes to throughout the day with peace of soul and with firm conviction that your will governs all. In all my deeds and words, guide my thoughts and feelings. In unforeseen events, let me not forget that all are sent by you. Teach me to act firmly and wisely, without embittering and embarrassing others. Give me strength to bear the fatigue of the coming day with all that it shall bring. Direct my will, teach me to pray. And you, yourself, pray in me. Amen.


- St. Philaret of Moscow

Christian, Eastern Orthodox

@
May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, superficial relationships, so that you will live deep within your heart.

May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression and exploitation of people so that you will work for justice, equality and peace.

May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation and war, so that you will reach out your hand to comfort them and change their pain into joy.

And may God bless you with the foolishness to think that you can make a difference in the world, so that you will do the things which others tell you cannot be done.

****************************************
A Prayer”
by Max Ehrmann

Let me do my work each day; and if the darkened hours of despair
overcome me, may I not forget the strength that comforted me
in the desolation of other times.

May I still remember the bright hours that found me walking over
the silent hills of my childhood, or dreaming on the margin of a quiet
river, when a light glowed within me, and I promised my early God
to have courage amid the tempests of the changing years.

Spare me from bitterness and from the sharp passions of unguarded
moments. May I not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit.
Though the world knows me not, may my thoughts and actions be
such as shall keep me friendly with myself.

Lift up my eyes from the earth, and let me not forget the uses of the
stars. Forbid that I should judge others lest I condemn myself.
Let me not follow the clamor of the world, but walk calmly in my
path.

Give me a few friends who will love me for what I am; and keep ever
burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope.

And though age and infirmity overtake me, and I come not within
sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me still to be thankful for
life, and for time's olden memories that are good and sweet; and
may the evening's twilight find me gentle still.

Jackie Deshannon - Put A Little Love In Your Heart Lyrics

Think of your fellow man
lend him a helping hand
put a little love in your heart.
You see it's getting late
oh please don't hesitate
put a little love in your heart.
And the world will be a better place
and the world will be a better place
for you and me
you just wait and see

A Vow for Health & Joy

I vow to offer joy
to one person in the morning
and to help relieve the grief
of one person in the afternoon.
I vow to live simply and sanely,
content with just a few possessions,
and to keep my body healthy.

I vow to let go
of all worries and anxiety
in order to be light and free.


Thich Nhat Hanh


Do more than belong: participate.
Do more than care: help.
Do more than believe: practice.
Do more than be fair: be kind.
Do more than forgive: forget.
Do more than dream: work.”

William Arthur Ward


Dear God, thank You for this day, thank You for allowing me to see it. Lord, I thank You for life. Praying for peace....Praying for those who are suffering...May those who grieve be comforted and gain peace through the Light within them....Lord, make us all instruments of thy peace....A prayer of warmth and caring for all those feeling alone and scared.... I thank you for my family and friends and this wonderful board...xoxo,Patti

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings. Thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.

Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as
long as possible. Thank you, Lord, that I can see. Many are blind.

Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising. Thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.

Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, and my children are so loud. Thank you, Lord, for my family. There are many who are lonely.

Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced. Thank you, Lord, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.

Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous. Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job.

Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest. Thank you, Lord, for life.

"When we walk to the edge of all the light we have,

and take the step into the darkness of the unknown,

we must believe that one of two things will happen;

there will be something solid for us to stand on.....

or we will be taught to fly."


Patrick Overton



For those who suffer,
and those who cry this day,
give them repose, Lord;
a pause in their burdens.
Let there be minutes
where they experience peace,
not of man
but of angels.
Love them, Lord,
when others cannot.
Hold them, Lord,
when we fail with human arms.
Hear their prayers
and give them the ability to hear You back
in whatever language they best understand.

Margaret A. Davidson

Somewhere, out at the edges, the night
Is turning and the waves of darkness
Begin to brighten the shore of dawn.

The heavy dark falls back to earth
And the freed air goes wild with light,
The heart fills with fresh, bright breath
And thoughts stir to give birth to colour.


I arise today

In the name of Silence
Womb of the Word,
In the name of Stillness
Home of Belonging,
In the name of the Solitude
Of the Soul and the Earth.

I arise today

Blessed by all things,
Wings of breath,
Delight of eyes,
Wonder of whisper,
Intimacy of touch,
Eternity of soul,
Urgency of thought,
Miracle of health,
Embrace of God.

May I live this day

Compassionate of heart,
Gentle in word,
Gracious in awareness,
Courageous in thought,
Generous in love.

--John O'Donohue, "Anam Cara"

Mother Teresa
There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.


[bSlow me down, Lord!
Ease the pounding of my heart
By the quieting of my mind.
Steady my harried pace
With a vision of the eternal reach of time.
Give me,
Amidst the confusions of my day,
The calmness of the everlasting hills.
Break the tensions of my nerves
With the soothing music
Of the singing streams
That live in my memory.
Help me to know
The magical power of sleep,
Teach me the art
Of taking minute vacations
Of slowing down
To look at a flower;
To chat with an old friend
Or make a new one;
To pat a stray dog;
To watch a spider build a web;
To smile at a child;
Or to read a few lines from a good book.
Remind me each day
That the race is not always to the swift;
That there is more to life
Than increasing its speed.
Let me look upward
Into the branches of the towering oak
And know that it grew great and strong
Because it grew slowly and well.
Slow me down, Lord,
And inspire me to send my roots deep
Into the soil of life's enduring values
That I may grow toward the stars
Of my greater destiny.

Bruce Barton
Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance

Make me strong in spirit,

Let me act in wisdom,
Conquer my fear and doubt,
Discover my own hidden gifts,

Meet others with compassion,
Be a source of healing energies,
And face each day with hope and joy.

Sunlight filtering in my window ---
Chasing the night shadows away ---
The dawning of a new day.

A day in which I may enjoy to the fullest
God’s splendor in creation ---
How marvelous are His works!

The calming breeze
Blowing upon my face ---
The peaceful sounds
Of the ocean waves lapping against the shore.

The beauty of a mountaintop ---
Looking out over endless expansion of earth and sky.
A brighter horizon ---

Oh, what a glorious day it is!
For my God has thus made it for me to behold
The wonders of His hand ---
CROWNING TOUCHES of His everlasting love.

-Proverbs 17:22


We ask you to restore faith where faith is weak
We ask you to restore hope where hope is weak

Lord please help us and guide us
Lord please bring comfort where there is pain,
courage where there is fear,
hope where there is despair,
acceptance when the end is near,
and a touch gentle with tenderness, patience, and love

We pray for our Doctor's,Nurses and caregivers..
Oh my God,
teach me to receive the sick in Your Name.
Give to my efforts success
for the glory of Your Holy Name.
It is Your work, without You I can not succeed.
Grant that the sick You have placed
in my care may be blessed,
and not any one be lost
because of neglect on my part.
Help me to overcome every temporal weakness,
and strengthen in me whatever will enable me to
bring joy to the lives of those I serve.
Give me grace for the sake of Your sick ones
and of those lives that will be influenced by them.
Amen
We can do no great things, only small things with great love

THE SPIRIT WITHIN



I am the Spirit within you. I am balance and harmony. Seek me in the tumult of fear and anguish and I am the soothing balm that will heal. I am the light in the darkness of your pain and aloneness. You shall find me in the stillness of time for I am the peace that you seek if you will but hush the frustration and anger that tears you apart, for I am there to guide you through the many disillusionments and disappointments of your life.



I am the Spirit within you. I speak to you in honesty and with dignity and if you will listen you will know that I love you, indeed as you do not love yourself. I see the many facets of your make-up and indeed to me I love them all. I am the Spirit within you. Find me in the solitude and the silence of your mind and I shall bring forth from within my power of goodness and love.



I am the Spirit within and I watch the seasons of time. I am with you as your heart races forward into the spring. I am happy with you in the summer of your peace. As autumn comes and tucks away the dreams that will never become reality I am there to soothe the broken heart. In winter I bid you patience, peace, that you can create a perfection with me that will strengthen and support all your days.



Indeed. I am the Spirit within you and I know you in all your moods for I am you and you are me. I see, I feel, I know, only through you for we are one, you and I will grow together as the seasons come and go until we are still in the Silence of God.



Until we understand that only blended together are we truly fulfilled, I love that which you are and that which you shall become for in truth I am you and you are me until eternity.



We move together you and I as does the sun and the moon, moving to a rhythm that is as old as time itself. The moon may seem to disappear for a time and only stripes of light cut the inky darkness of the night but it is there as I am, the Spirit within giving you the power to believe in us and in life.



I am the Spirit within. I am one part of you that you may reject at times and yet you cannot exist without me for I am you and you and I are one. Together we are the Illumination of GOD.

Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.

(Bible, part 1 Cor 13)





GOD,

I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.

And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.



­Thomas Merton, "Thoughts in Solitude"

Know I am God.



I speak to you through the thunder and lightening.

Be still

Know I am God.



I speak to you through the mysterious rainbow.

Be still

Know I am God.



I will speak to you when you are alone

Be still

Know I am God.



I will speak to you through the Wisdom of the Ancients.

Be still

Know I am God.



I will speak to you at the end of time.

Be still

Know I am God.



I will speak to you when you have seen my Angels.

Be still

Know I am God.



I will speak to you throughout Eternity.

Be still

Know I am God.



I speak to you.

Be still

Know I am God.









Do not look forward in fear to the changes of life;



Rather look to them with full hope that as they arise,

God, whose very own you are, will lead you safely

through all things;



And when you cannot stand it, God will carry you

in His arms.



Do not fear what may happen tomorrow;



The same everlasting Father who cares for you today

will take care of you today and every day.



He will either shield you from suffering or will give you

unfailing strength to bear it.



Be at peace and put aside all anxious thoughts and

imaginations.

Earth Teach Me to Remember !



Earth teach me stillness

as the grasses are stilled with light.

Earth teach me suffering

as old stones suffer with memory.

Earth teach me humility

as blossoms are humble with beginning.

Earth Teach me caring

as the mother who secures her young.

Earth teach me courage

as the tree which stands alone.

Earth teach me limitation

as the ant which crawls on the ground.

Earth teach me freedom

as the eagle which soars in the sky.

Earth teach me resignation

as the leaves which die in the fall.

Earth teach me regeneration

as the seed which rises in the spring.

Earth teach me to forget myself

as melted snow forgets its life.

Earth teach me to remember kindness

as dry fields weep in the rain.





Ute, A Native North American Prayer











Lord, behold our family here assembled.

We thank you for this place in which we dwell,

for the love that unites us,

for the peace accorded to us this day,

for the hope with which we expect the morrow;

for the health, the work, the food and the bright skies

that make our lives delightful;

for our friends in all parts of the earth. Amen.

And face each day with hope and joy.

Prayer for the Sick

Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight, and give your angels charge over those who sleep.



Tend your sick ones, O Lord Christ.

Rest your weary ones.

Bless your dying ones.

Soothe your suffering ones.

Pity your afflicted ones.

Shield your joyous ones.

And for all your love's sake. Amen.

**************************************

I Am There



Do you need Me?

I am there.

You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by.

You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice.

You cannot feel Me, yet I am the power at work in your hands.

I am at work, though you do not understand My ways.

I am at work, though you do not recognize My works.

I am not strange visions. I am not mysteries.

Only in absolute stillness, beyond self, can you know Me as I am, and then but as a feeling and a faith.

Yet I am there. Yet I hear. Yet I answer.

When you need Me, I am there.

Even if you deny Me, I am there.

Even when you feel most alone, I am there.

Even in your fears, I am there.

Even in your pain, I am there.

I am there when you pray and when you do not pray.

I am in you, and you are in Me.

Only in your mind can you feel separate from Me, for only in your mind are the mists of “yours” and “mine.”

Yet only with your mind can you know Me and experience Me.

Empty your heart of empty fears.

When you get yourself out of the way, I am there.

You can of yourself do nothing, but I can do all.

And I am in all.

Though you may not see the good, good is there, for I am there.

I am there because I have to be, because I am.

Only in Me does the world have meaning; only out of Me does the world take form; only because of Me does the world go forward.

I am the law on which the movement of the stars and the growth of living cells are founded.

I am the love that is the law’s fulfilling. I am assurance. I am peace. I am oneness. I am the law that you can live by. I am the love that you can cling to. I am your assurance. I am your peace. I am one with you. I am.

Though you fail to find Me, I do not fail you.

Though your faith in Me is unsure, My faith in you never wavers, because I know you, because I love you.

Beloved, I am there.



—James Dillet Freeman



Thank you....Lord..In the words of Emerson we thank you this morning.....

For each new morning with its light,

For rest and shelter of the night,

For health and food,

For love and friends,

For everything Thy goodness sends.



ralph waldo emerson - 1803-1882





Deep peace of the running wave to you.

Deep peace of the flowing air to you.

Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.

Deep peace of the shining stars to you.

Deep peace of the infinite peace to you.

Bless, O God,

all who struggle with cancer.

Empower them with hope

for each and every day.

Provide them with loving

and tender care, laughter,

and the support of love.

Grant them

courage when they are afraid,

comfort when they are in pain,

and your blessing

when all else seems hopeless,

that in their fight with illness

they may continue to praise you

and glorify your name.

Amen. Vienna Cobb Anderson



The unknown is terrifying,

responsibility is overwhelming,

the untapped anger cannot be borne.

Hear our cry, O God of love,

for all so trapped in fear.

Open our hearts to trust

your presence to guide us

in the unknown places;

teach us to know

you will support us in all

that we undertake;

free us to share with you

the rage within, knowing

you will never desert us.

Amen.

Vienna Cobb Anderson



May we discover through pain and torment,

the strength to live with grace and humor.

May we discover through doubt and anguish,

the strength to live with dignity and holiness.

May we discover through suffering and fear,

the strength to move toward healing.

May it come to pass that we be restored to health and to vigor.

May Life grant us wellness of body, spirit, and mind.

And if this cannot be so, may we find in this transformation and passage

moments of meaning, opportunities for love

and the deep and gracious calm that comes

when we allow ourselves to move on.

Rabbi Rami M. Shapiro

With Every Breath I Take Today



With every breath I take today,

I vow to be awake;



And every step I take,

I vow to take with a grateful heart--



So I may see with eyes of love

into the hearts of all I meet,



To ease their burden when I can

And touch them with a smile of peace.



Blue Iris Sangha

Most merciful God,

bless all who have suffered trauma

in their lives.

Support them with love

during their time of shock.

Grace them with peace

as they wrestle with the challenges

of each day.

Sustain them in hope

as they prepare for the days ahead.

Amen.

The little plans I tried to carry

Have failed

O' Dear God.

But, I will not sorrow

I will pause a little while

And try again tomorrow.

Anushree Karnani





O Lord, grant me to greet the coming day in peace, help me in all things to rely upon your holy will. In every hour of the day reveal your will to me. Bless my dealings with all who surround me. Teach me to treat all that comes to throughout the day with peace of soul and with firm conviction that your will governs all. In all my deeds and words, guide my thoughts and feelings. In unforeseen events, let me not forget that all are sent by you. Teach me to act firmly and wisely, without embittering and embarrassing others. Give me strength to bear the fatigue of the coming day with all that it shall bring. Direct my will, teach me to pray. And you, yourself, pray in me. Amen.





- St. Philaret of Moscow



Christian, Eastern Orthodox



@

May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, superficial relationships, so that you will live deep within your heart.



May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression and exploitation of people so that you will work for justice, equality and peace.



May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation and war, so that you will reach out your hand to comfort them and change their pain into joy.



And may God bless you with the foolishness to think that you can make a difference in the world, so that you will do the things which others tell you cannot be done.

****************************************

A Prayer”

by Max Ehrmann



Let me do my work each day; and if the darkened hours of despair

overcome me, may I not forget the strength that comforted me

in the desolation of other times.



May I still remember the bright hours that found me walking over

the silent hills of my childhood, or dreaming on the margin of a quiet

river, when a light glowed within me, and I promised my early God

to have courage amid the tempests of the changing years.



Spare me from bitterness and from the sharp passions of unguarded

moments. May I not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit.

Though the world knows me not, may my thoughts and actions be

such as shall keep me friendly with myself.



Lift up my eyes from the earth, and let me not forget the uses of the

stars. Forbid that I should judge others lest I condemn myself.

Let me not follow the clamor of the world, but walk calmly in my

path.



Give me a few friends who will love me for what I am; and keep ever

burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope.



And though age and infirmity overtake me, and I come not within

sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me still to be thankful for

life, and for time's olden memories that are good and sweet; and

may the evening's twilight find me gentle still.

Jackie Deshannon - Put A Little Love In Your Heart Lyrics



Think of your fellow man

lend him a helping hand

put a little love in your heart.

You see it's getting late

oh please don't hesitate

put a little love in your heart.

And the world will be a better place

and the world will be a better place

for you and me

you just wait and see

A Vow for Health & Joy



I vow to offer joy

to one person in the morning

and to help relieve the grief

of one person in the afternoon.

I vow to live simply and sanely,

content with just a few possessions,

and to keep my body healthy.



I vow to let go

of all worries and anxiety

in order to be light and free.





Thich Nhat Hanh





Do more than belong: participate.

Do more than care: help.

Do more than believe: practice.

Do more than be fair: be kind.

Do more than forgive: forget.

Do more than dream: work.”



William Arthur Ward





Dear God, thank You for this day, thank You for allowing me to see it. Lord, I thank You for life. Praying for peace....Praying for those who are suffering...May those who grieve be comforted and gain peace through the Light within them....Lord, make us all instruments of thy peace....A prayer of warmth and caring for all those feeling alone and scared.... I thank you for my family and friends and this wonderful board...xoxo,Patti

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings. Thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.



Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as

long as possible. Thank you, Lord, that I can see. Many are blind.



Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising. Thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.



Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, and my children are so loud. Thank you, Lord, for my family. There are many who are lonely.



Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced. Thank you, Lord, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.



Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous. Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job.



Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest. Thank you, Lord, for life.

"When we walk to the edge of all the light we have,



and take the step into the darkness of the unknown,



we must believe that one of two things will happen;



there will be something solid for us to stand on.....



or we will be taught to fly."





Patrick Overton







For those who suffer,

and those who cry this day,

give them repose, Lord;

a pause in their burdens.

Let there be minutes

where they experience peace,

not of man

but of angels.

Love them, Lord,

when others cannot.

Hold them, Lord,

when we fail with human arms.

Hear their prayers

and give them the ability to hear You back

in whatever language they best understand.



Margaret A. Davidson



Somewhere, out at the edges, the night

Is turning and the waves of darkness

Begin to brighten the shore of dawn.



The heavy dark falls back to earth

And the freed air goes wild with light,

The heart fills with fresh, bright breath

And thoughts stir to give birth to colour.





I arise today



In the name of Silence

Womb of the Word,

In the name of Stillness

Home of Belonging,

In the name of the Solitude

Of the Soul and the Earth.



I arise today



Blessed by all things,

Wings of breath,

Delight of eyes,

Wonder of whisper,

Intimacy of touch,

Eternity of soul,

Urgency of thought,

Miracle of health,

Embrace of God.



May I live this day



Compassionate of heart,

Gentle in word,

Gracious in awareness,

Courageous in thought,

Generous in love.



--John O'Donohue, "Anam Cara"

Mother Teresa

There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.





[bSlow me down, Lord!

Ease the pounding of my heart

By the quieting of my mind.

Steady my harried pace

With a vision of the eternal reach of time.

Give me,

Amidst the confusions of my day,

The calmness of the everlasting hills.

Break the tensions of my nerves

With the soothing music

Of the singing streams

That live in my memory.

Help me to know

The magical power of sleep,

Teach me the art

Of taking minute vacations

Of slowing down

To look at a flower;

To chat with an old friend

Or make a new one;

To pat a stray dog;

To watch a spider build a web;

To smile at a child;

Or to read a few lines from a good book.

Remind me each day

That the race is not always to the swift;

That there is more to life

Than increasing its speed.

Let me look upward

Into the branches of the towering oak

And know that it grew great and strong

Because it grew slowly and well.

Slow me down, Lord,

And inspire me to send my roots deep

Into the soil of life's enduring values

That I may grow toward the stars

Of my greater destiny.



Bruce Barton

Sunlight filtering in my window ---

The dawning of a new day.



A day in which I may enjoy to the fullest

God’s splendor in creation ---

How marvelous are His works!



The calming breeze

Blowing upon my face ---

The peaceful sounds

Of the ocean waves lapping against the shore.



The beauty of a mountaintop ---

Looking out over endless expansion of earth and sky.

A brighter horizon ---



Oh, what a glorious day it is!

For my God has thus made it for me to behold

The wonders of His hand ---

CROWNING TOUCHES of His everlasting love.
