Prayer for 9/11

By: Pamela Leavey On: September 11, 2011 at 8:11 pm

Dear God,
Please bless the souls who lost their lives that day,
And comfort those who loved them.
… May their memory be a reminder to us
to create a world of understanding and love,
that events such as those of that fateful day
shall be consigned to memory,
nevermore to occur.
And so it is.
Amen

Prayer For The Earth

Dear God,
Please bless and protect this sacred jewel,
Our vulnerable planet so besieged.
May the rivers and the oceans and the sky and the land
All be repaired somehow, dear Lord.
May the barbarism end, which threatens to destroy our priceless treasure.
For surely the earth has been our home,
The home of our parents unto all generations.
For the sake of our children, Lord,
Save this earth.
Place in all minds a greater awe before her mysteries.
Shield her and heal her wounds,
Restore her to her former glory.
Save her, Lord, from us.
Amen.

Daily Affirmation: Desire Is A Compass

By: Pamela Leavey On: May 1, 2009 at 1:20 pm

“Desire is a compass for our lives’ directions. As we become clear in what we want, as we allow ourselves to yearn, we become conduits for the Universe to act upon us and through us. My desire is a prayer impressed on the heart of God. My openness is the willingness to receive. My courage is the faith to act on what I receive, allowing blessings to flow to me from many sources.”

“Today, I admit my desires. I accept the path they suggest to me. If only one step at a time, I move in the direction of my dreams. I am alert, too, to my dreams moving toward me. I accept the forward motion of my heart’s desire. I allow the Universe to answer my prayers and I am grateful for the support and abundance which I receive.” – Julia Cameron, Transitions: Prayers and Declarations for a Changing Life.
