A Morning Prayer

A Morning Prayer is a calming, guided practice, and is one of a series of spirit-based devotionals from James Anthony Walker, and Oasis of the Heart, an Interspiritual ministry without walls, co-founded with contributor and life partner Rev. Constance McClain. These devotionals are approximately 15 minutes in length, begin with spoken word, and are followed by ambient music as a means of centering, and taking the devotional into personal discernment.

May this new day be blessed.

May it be blessed with love,

Laughter,

Understanding,

Patience,

And gratitude.

May it hold me in grace,

Safely,

Kindly,

Closely,

And completely.

Let me be open-hearted to compassion and open-minded to the wisdom of gratitude.

Let these blessings flow abundantly to me,

To those I love,

To those who have caused me pain,

To those I have caused suffering,

To those I have never met,

And to every living thing with which I share this life.

And so,

As I greet this new day,

Holding the intention of living it as mindfully as I can,

From moment to moment,

I hold these thoughts in my heart,

Knowing my greatest good.

May this new day be blessed with love,

Perfect way to start the day or start the afternoon - thanks!

A beautiful short prayer, setting intentions & blessings for the day, followed by music which is calming & gentle, long enough for the intentions to embed themselves during the silent meditation.

Just this simple prayer this morning echoing my own, early morning prayers, has brought time for deeper reflection upon those whom I love and know to be vulnerable, and has helped me be more present for my Self — acknowledging my own need for loving care. I am grateful. Thank you, James. Linda

Thank you for the prayer and the quiet time to reflect..

Lovely affirmations and positive focus. Thank-you. The music was very sacred and I appreciate that it was offered for quite a while and ended with silence. 🙏❤️
