Dear God, I thank you for every gift of life, from the smallest nerve cells in my toes to the tiniest of neurons that powers each thought and feeling that I have. Thank you for the people in my life, the natural world, and ultimately the mysterious gift of You. Help free me from my unnecessary worries by first embracing all the gifts that I have before seeking to protect them When I fear loss of health, let me first embrace any and every aspect of health that I have been granted. When I fear loss of status, let me first embrace the respect I have been given. When I fear loss of affiliation, let me first embrace the love I have been bestowed. When I fear death, let me first embrace the life I have been endowed. In all of my fears, let me first see gifts given rather than losses which may come. I know I will die someday. But in the meantime, help me castaway my anxieties and find great beauty, purpose, and peace in this adventure of life. Amen. |
