Prayer for Friday

Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love.
The real miracle is the love that inspires them.
In this sense everything that comes from love
is a miracle.
~ A Course in Miracles

I, who take refuge in the shelter of the Most High,
will be safe in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Eternal, “My shelter, my mighty fortress,
my God, I place all my trust in You.” ¹

I AM free from tension and fear.
I trust in God to do the work.
I relax, let go, and let God accomplish
all my goals effortlessly through me.

I thank you God for my faith and trust in You.
And so it is.
Amen.

(adapted from Miracle Prayer by Susan Shumsky, D.D.)

¹ Psalm 91:1-2

Faith is not so much something we believe;
faith is something we live.

Alone with none but thee, my God,
I journey on my way.
What need I fear, when thou art near O king of night and day?
More safe am I within thy hand
Than if a host did round me stand.

Prayer for Thursday

Faith is not something to grasp,
it is a state to grow into.
~ Mahatma Gandhi

Great Spirit, I thank you for all your gifts,
even the ones I didn’t recognize.
Merciful One, I thank you for the gifts I will receive today,
help me to realize them when they happen.
Beautiful One, bless me with all the gifts I need,
to be Who I Really Am and Who I Want To Be.
Spirit of Love, help me to remember today,
that what I believe I will see,
and what I give to others is what will be mine.
Amen
