Prayer for a Flagging Heart

Good day, dear readers. I woke up today with a version of this prayer on my lips. Even in times like these, it helps me to consider God as the kindest, gentlest keeper of our precious souls.

I am so tired of hardness and sharpness. It cannot all be bad news, so long as we all remember that we carry the divine that will save us. Amen?

Gracious Father,

Keeper of Souls,

Lover of all Mankind,

Empowerer of the People,

Strength in our weakness,

Brother in our suffering,

Mother-Spirit to our Inner Littles,

and Bravery for the adults

we have to be…

It’s a damn mess down here.

We need oil for our lamps,

if we are to share the Light.

We need a squeeze of your hand,

if we are to soldier on.

A whisper of encouragement,

for our flagging hearts.

Help us be extinguishers of hate,

purveyors of radical hope,

merchants of change,

So that we may take part

in The Great Awakening,

sharing your conciousness,

singing your praises,

and so loving this world,

just as you did.

Just as you do.

Amen.
