From Where I Sit

Dear God,

I give this day to You.
May my mind stay centered on the things of spirit.

May I not be tempted to stray from love.
As I begin this day, I open to receive You.
Please enter where You already abide.

May my mind and heart be pure and true, and may I not deviate from the things of goodness.

May I see the love and innocence in all mankind, behind the masks we all wear and the illusions of this worldly plane.

I surrender to You my doings this day.
I ask only that they serve You and the healing of the world.

May I bring Your love and goodness with me, to give unto others wherever I go.
Make me the person You would have me be.
Direct my footsteps, and show me what You would have me do.

Make the world a safer, more beautiful place.
Bless all Your creatures.

Heal us all, and use me, dear Lord, that I might know the joy of being used by You. 

Amen.
