Prayer to Divine Being

O my Provenance, the Breath of all Being
Infinite is Your Eternal Oneness
Your Vision sustains, Your Moon now reigns
in matter as it is in Spirit
Help me remember I am always worthy to receive You
and teach me to know the ways of my fear
that I no longer impart the ways of my fear unto others
and lead me out of my darkness and into the light of Your Love
for You are my Sovereign Teacher,
my Loving Parent
the worlds within which my lifetimes unfold
and my journey’s end
Forever and ever, Amen

Prayer of Affirmation

I KNOW there is God
the Loving Sea in which I breathe my being
and as the salt of the ocean flows in my blood
I KNOW I am thus ever within God
as I encounter God ever within me
I KNOW there are no saviors in this EarthGarden of God
who will spare me my task
of heart-rendering lesson-learnings
I KNOW I am Soul, conscious Lightchild of God
forever rooted in my Creator-Parent
and that to thrive in Its Glorious Garden
I must inhabit relationship with It as my Sovereign
I KNOW I am Self, conscious Lightchild of Soul
and that I must cleanse from myself
the fear of being in the world
by attaining authentic self-worthiness and love
I KNOW that to that end my pain and fear and doubt
can never be prayed, meditated, or willed away
that they must be healed in the same emotional domain in which they were born and have life
I KNOW I must thus embrace each and every part of me
that only in honoring my dark
will I one day be delivered unto Light
I KNOW I must also cleanse from myself
the fear of being not in the world
where the sense of my separate I is outworked
into the That Which Is What Is
I KNOW I must also cleanse from myself
the fear of being not of the world
by awakening my sleeping root-link to God
through surrender of all outcomes in life into Its Hands
that I may forever journey with It as my Guide
I KNOW wonder and respect for the Sacrament of Life
for each and every movement in each of our places
in the planting-rows of God's Harvest-Garden of Souls
AND ABOVE ALL I KNOW
that Love of this earthly Life human
is the Love of this earthly Life divine
which has always been, is now, and ever shall be
the waking Heaven of my dreams

Prayer of Immaculation

O Divine Being
            As the depths of the Ocean are one with its shallows
             so too is Your Presence One with my being

             Please guide me in all the ways
             to heal my fears of being in the world
             that the curtain between my fears and my self
             be drawn ever more open
             that a deeper ‘I’ may emerge in value and self-love
             so I continue to grow mature heart-emotion
             that I may ever become a source of courage and inspiration
             for myself and for others
             in the worlds of my life

             Please guide me in all the ways
             to heal my fear of being not in the world
             that the curtain between my self and my soul
             be drawn ever more open
             that my self no longer fears its death of being
             so I move as one with the earth and all of its rhythms
             that I may ever become a source of peace and serenity
             for myself and for others
             in the worlds of my life

             And please guide me in all the ways
             to heal my fears of being not of the world
             that the curtain between my soul and Your Presence
             be drawn ever more open
             that I re-encounter my bond with You my Parent
             so I never again know life without you
             that I may ever become a source of Wisdom and Love
             for myself and for others
             in the worlds of my life

Prayer of Community

O Divine Being our Eternal Parent
We stand before You as Your children

Look at us
            that we may see ourselves
Speak to us
            that we may sing our love
Stand with us
            that the focus upon our own lives
            is always remembered as movement through You
Guide us in your demanding Love
            that we may learn to give ourselves
            the gift of growth toward You
Teach us to know
            that as we sail the unknown seas of fear
            our compass-bearing is always revealed
            by being open to direction from You
Help us understand and accept
            that we need both sunshine and rain
            to grow grounded in Your ways
Lead us in our task to realize self-Love
            that we may more fully love one another
Show us how to build community in Your Name
            to support our quest for individual understanding
Open the rivers of our hearts
            that they may flow unto you
You Who have no eyes
            look into our hearts
You Who have no ears
            hear us in our time of need
You Who have no lips
            speak to us of Your Will for our lives
For it is only Your Path we wish to walk
            Your Song we wish to sing
            and Your Children we wish to be

                                 Amen
