Prayer To The Innermost Self (Reworked)

This is a rework of Christopher's much loved prayer "Prayer To The Innermost Self". This deeply emotional, non-religious prayer was written by Christopher to connect with the innermost self. It is a devotional prayer that asks for loving guidance from the beloved, which shines within all.

It is set to soft, contemplative music by Universe_Bella.

Beloved, Inner light, Lamp of love and life that flickers in all beings, Let me remember you in the quiet and the clamour, In the stillness and the storm, Let me turn towards you, Not only when I feel lost, But even when I feel found, Let me rest in you, Not only when I am weary, But even when I am strong, When the path ahead is shrouded in fog, When doubt lingers at my doorstep, May I trust that you are here, Unwavering, Patient as the tide, May I remember that you are not far, Not separate, Not beyond my reach, But woven through my breath, My heartbeat, My very being, And let me see you in the faces of all I meet, In their joys, In their struggles, Let me not close my heart, Not turn away, Not withhold the kindness that is mine to give, And when I falter, When I forget, When I am tangled in my own fears, Call me back, Gently, Like dawn calls the darkness to soften, Beloved, Light that does not falter, Amber that does not fade, Let me be a vessel, Even when I feel empty, Let me be a window, Even when I feel clouded, Let me be a mirror, Reflecting the love that was never mine alone, And when the day is done, When my hands are empty and the sky grows dim, May I lay all striving down, All searching, All need to be more than I already am, May I simply rest in the knowing that you were always here and that I have never, Not once, Or ever will be alone.
