I am the Glass Haven

An Amalgamation of Prayers.

Lord,
For the expanding grandeur of Creation,
worlds known and unknown,
We give thanks this day.

For the joy of human life,
its wonders and surprises,
its hopes and achievements:

We give thanks this day.

For our common past and future hope,
our oneness transcending all separation,

We give thanks this day.

O' Lord,
We pray that we may live not by our fears but by our hopes,
not by our words but by our deeds.

We pray for Your Power to guide us,
Your Might to uphold us,
Your Eyes to watch over us,
Your Ears to hear us,
Your Word to give us speech,
Your Hand to guard us,
Your Way to lie before us,
Your Shield to shelter us,
Your Grace to secure us.

Into Your hands we commend ourselves;
We offer You all the love of our hearts,
without reserve,
and with boundless confidence.

I arise today
Through a mighty strength:

God's power to guide me,
God's might to uphold me,
God's eyes to watch over me;
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to give me speech,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to shelter me,
God's host to secure me.

I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.

I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch,
a promise.

I choose to risk my significance;
to live so that which came to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom
and that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.

Love

I love you - Mira Art

Like the newborn baby, crying in his mother's arms, scared and troubled, but with the knowledge that he will forever be in debt to that fragile cradling.

When he strides this ground, he knows that there is something with him, that when he falls his mother's arms will pick him up again.

Renewal

Art by Benjamin Williamson

Thank You, God, Holy Source of all inspiration, for You have unblinded me.

That within beauty lies fragility.

And broken fragility can be repaired.

Oh, Your Divine Grace Heals.

And in all I see that is beautiful, I see You.

And the places I go that I cannot fathom,

it is You who takes me there.

Raise me.

I am full of things I do not know yet. Allow me to shine, reflecting Your light.

And the music is Yours. It is Yours.

It is all Yours, and I thank You for the music.

It is Your gift to me.

I am uplifted.

And I will fly on these wings.

The wings You planted.

And I will fly.

Thank You God,

You have restored sight to these eyes.
