Fear and anxiety are powerful stalkers, and this prayer tackles them in a wonderfully original and peaceful way. It might seem strange at first, but it really works. It is taken from Meditative Prayers For Today by Adam Bittleston, published by The Christian Community Press.
May the events that seek me
come unto me;
May I receive them
with a quiet mind
Through the Father’s ground of peace
on which we walk.May the people who seek me
come unto me;
May I receive them
with an understanding heart
Through the Christ’s stream of love
in which we live.May the spirits which seek me
come unto me;
May I receive them
with a clear soul
Through the healing Spirit’s Light
by which we see.
Thank you so much for sharing that – it strikes a chord…many even.
Oooh, I love that. I must copy it out directly. Thank you!
I’ve only just now seen this. You are very kind to share these beautiful thoughts.
I love the idea of a quiet mind, an understanding heart and a clear soul. Beautiful!
Such peaceful thoughts. They settle some of my mind’s turmoil right now. (-:
This prayer is a very typical prayer written by a Christian Community for Religious Renewal priest. His small book is full of such prayers. The Christian Community embraces Christ in a very new and re-enlivened way. Both a mixture of the religious values of the east and west.
I was given that little book when I was confirmed into the Christian Community at the age of 14 or so. I treasure it still.
Thank you. That is beautiful and much needed right now.
