A Prayer for Challenging Times When everything feels like it's unraveling,
When things begin to fall apart,
May we remember the wisdom in holding our nerve and that panic and worry will never serve us.
May we hold ourselves gently and with compassion for all of our so-called mistakes and those of others.
May we remember the strength of the love in our hearts,
Even when it feels easier to let the fear win.
May we know that all it takes for the day to look different is a simple internal perspective shift as we shine a light on all that we are grateful for instead of our limitations or obstacles.
May we remember that our next right action comes first from stillness and poise instead of rushing or reactivity.
May we stay true to ourselves and find a lightness of being even when we have to make difficult choices or do things we don't want to do.
May we remember that we are deeply resourced and that everything we need is already within us.
When it feels as though everyone has turned away or disappeared,
May we remember our connection to something greater than ourselves,
However we choose to view that.
The universe,
Great spirit,
Love,
God is our eternal friend and will always remind us that we too are the best,
Most loving partner and friend we could ever hope for.
When it seems as though life just hasn't turned out the way we hoped it would,
May we remember to remove our judgments even if only temporarily.
For how can we know that where we are now is better than the beautiful expansive incredible journey we are being prepared for.
May we know and trust deeply that what is meant for us will never miss us.
And may we know that whenever and wherever we are,
Right here,
Right now,
With one breath at a time and one step at a time,
Everything is okay.
Everything is okay.
Everything is okay.
