A week of prayer Day 1 Stillness May I be grounded in the stillness of this moment. May my thoughts exemplify your compassion for all. May my heart be open, Unconditional. May I embody the grace of your being. Day 2 Gratitude For the breath within me I offer thanks. For the light of this day I offer thanks. For the mystery of this journey I offer thanks. In your presence I bow. May gratitude be my home, Where trust and humility reside. Day 3 Courage When fear arises, I turn to thee. When trouble comes, May I be a voice of wise counsel. May courage walk with me. May trust be my abiding faith. Day 4 Healing May my wounds become my healing. May the burdens I carry strengthen my faith. May I be the loving presence of compassion, So that all may feel safe. Day 5 Presence Here in this breath I am whole. With this body I am here to serve. Your compassionate presence is the light by which all are held. Day 6 Surrender I am here by your grace. I place my trust at your feet. May I walk by the light of tireless surrender. And Day 7 Love May love be the foundation of my being. May love guide my actions. May love touch the lives of all. As your love blesses mine. At the end of these seven days, May you find that prayer has quietly become the foundation of each day. May prayer become the lightness in your step. The wisdom within your words. The quiet radiance of devotion in your heart. Carry these with you, Not as mere sentiments. But as the living remembrance that grace blesses our lives in every moment, In every breath, With each beat of the heart.
