Prayer
O Great First Source and Center, Origin of the Universe,
We recognize You as all Holy,
loving and merciful, and we as Your children, are not the subservient,
sinful or depraved creatures false teachers would have us believe.
We are the greatest and most wonderful of all Your creations, and
the objects of Your great Soul’s Love and tenderest care.Your
Will is that we become at-one with You, and partake of the great Love
bestowed upon us through Your Mercy and desire that we become, in
truth, Your children through love, not through the sacrifice and death
of any of Your creatures.We pray that You will open up our souls to the
inflowing of Your Love, and then will come the Holy Spirit to bring
into our souls Your Divine Love in great abundance, until we are
transformed into the very Essence of Yourself. Then will come to us
such faith as will cause us to realize that we are truly Your children,
and one with You in very Substance, and not in image only.Give us such faith as will cause us to know that You are our Parent,
the bestower of every good and perfect gift, and that only we, ourselves,
can prevent Your Love changing us from a mortal into an immortal.Let
us never cease to realize that Your Love is waiting for each and all of
us, and that when we come to You in faith and earnest aspiration, Your
Love will never be withheld from us.Keep us in the shadow of Your Love every hour and
moment of our lives and help us to overcome all the temptations of the
flesh, and the influence of the powers of the evil ones, which so
constantly surround us and endeavor to turn our thoughts away from You
to the pleasures and allurements of this world.We thank You for Your Love and the privilege of
receiving It. We know You are the Loving Parent who smiles upon us in
our weakness, and is always ready to help us, and take us to Your Arms
of Love.We pray this with all the earnestness and sincere
longings of our souls, and trusting in Your Love, give You all the
glory, honor and love that our finite souls can give.Amen.

just wondering how you landed on my page? you have very interesting posts to read……take care!
Makes me smile. Thank you!
Nice, but I like my prayer better–
“Good job–thanks for everything.”
BTW, tried a zillion times to call, either got nothing or a busy signal (?).
Got a shower, Beth found a new outlet for her aggression–the pizza store customers who park in front of the laundromat. She was all chirpy and cheerful with me. And yeah, I gotta remember not to talk to Ellie like she’s a person–just keep all talk confined to business–MY business.
Wow. Your prayer blew me away. It is Beautiful. I may just have to print it off. Yes, I am. Thank you so much for the inspiration. I really needed it today. Must be why I came here. (*smile*)
When we’re all dead, if we go to the same place, can whoever goes first save us all a seat at the Cool Kid’s Table? So Far, I have Grandma Wade, Aunt Betty, Mark’s Aunt Lindy, and Mark’s Grandma. They are all sitting around watching and laughing and cracking jokes. Babysitting all our ‘dead but not forgotten’ animals until we get there.

This made me feel funny. I think I shall e-mail you about it.
