Prayer to the Higher Self

As my last few posts have been about connecting to the Higher Self, I thought it would be nice to share with you a beautiful prayer that was written by Marianne Williamson (Illuminata, 1994). If this resonates with you, then please consider making it a part of your regular practice.

Dear God,

In this one moment I recognize that there is within me a perfect self;

A Self that is not dysfunctional;

A Self that is not weak but strong;

Not limited, but unlimited;

Not small, but huge;

Not in pain but in peace;

Not faithless and scared but all knowing, all loving,
serene and calm and happy through the grace of God.

I have been playing with the toys of death and weakness.

I have been playing at sickness and playing at addiction.

I have been playing at dysfunction and limitation and war.

I have been playing at hunger and violation of myself and others.

I have been playing with toys that are dangerous.

But I desire to play the games of death no more.

In this moment, I ask You, dear God,
to release me from my destructive thinking.

I take up now the mantle of Your magnificence.

Through Your Grace, dear God, may I be good and innocent,
and strong and pure, for thus would You have me be.

The love that emanates from Your mind to me,
and from my mind to the minds of others, is a power so great.
Within its embrace all negativity shall turn to good,
all pain to peace, all fear to love.

I invoke Your light.

I receive Your heaven, which replaces hell.

I do not look back.

I do not stop my eyes at the veil of horror that surrounds the world,
but rather I extend my vision to the possibilities for love for myself and others.

I step out of my childhood, into my adulthood;
out of my weaknesses, into my strengths;
out of my fear, into my love, out of my small self, into You.

Dear God, please make me new.

Amen.

Blessings on your journey,
Mary Riposo

      Poetryman,
      As always, you have a way with words. Your poem cuts away all of the unnecessary veils that we tend to put in front of ourselves, that obscure our vision, and gets right to the heart of it- compassion. That's all we ever need. Keep up the good work.
      Blessings to you,
      Mary
