Help comes in many forms.
Often it comes from beloved family and friends and the other than human world.
We can also call on the assistance of forces unseen but deeply felt in our hearts and bodies such as God,
Angels,
Or a higher power.
Regardless it seems to be easier to access when we ask with earnestness and humility.
For me,
It usually takes my willingness to let go of my desire to have everything wrapped in a tidy package,
I.
E.
Letting go of control,
To really open to the support I'm seeking.
It means truly surrendering myself to the greater care of something I can never quite name,
But which I feel pulsing through my entire being when I allow myself to get quiet enough.
Always gratitude helps me realign with the deep knowing that I'm supported and cared for in more ways than I can possibly imagine.
I hope this invocation offers you the same.
As you listen to the following words,
I invite you to breathe them in as if they're coming from deep inside your own heart.
And when there is a pause,
To take a slow,
Full breath,
Allowing them to sink in even more deeply.
This is an opportunity to take a break,
Even for a few moments,
And rest in the peace which lies deep within.
Morning Prayer.
Breathe Creator,
As I arise today,
I offer this prayer from the very center of my heart.
May I awaken to love.
May I open to suffering.
May I live from humble and compassionate grace.
May all beings in every place on this beautiful earth,
In all forms,
In all realms,
From the deepest past to the farthest future,
Without exception,
Be free from suffering.
And if we do suffer,
May we know that there is an end to suffering,
Even when we cannot see or feel it in the moment.
May all beings know great happiness and deep peace.
May all beings know we are loved beyond measure.
May all beings remember who we really are.
I offer this prayer and my life as a blessing to all life.
May it be so,
Now and evermore.
