Prayer for Tuesday

Whatever you accept into your mind has reality for you.
It is your acceptance of it that makes it real.
~ A Course in Miracles

I offer lights to the embodiment of Truth
to your form, your extraordinary form.
I offer lights to the embodiment of Truth
to this awakened intellect, your divine form.
I offer lights to the embodiment of Truth,
to the lord of nature, the lord of destiny.
You are our sole objective, everyone’s end goal.
You are our higher self.
I offer lights to the embodiment of Truth,
I offer lights to the embodiment of Truth itself,
I offer lights to the embodiment of Truth.

O God
Let us be united;
Let us speak in harmony;
Let our minds apprehend alike.
Common be our prayer;
Common be the end of our assembly;
Common be our resolution;
Common be our deliberations.
Alike be our feelings;
Unified be our hearts;
Common be our intentions;
Perfect be our unity.
