May today there be peace within.
May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities
that are born of faith in yourself and others.
May you use your gifts that you have received
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content with yourself
just the way you are.
Let this knowledge settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise, and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.
May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities
that are born of faith in yourself and others.
May you use your gifts that you have received
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content with yourself
just the way you are.
Let this knowledge settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise, and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.
I love this prayer. There is challenge (use the gifts you have received and pass on the love that has been given to you; be content with yourself just the way you are) and there is reassurance (trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be; singing, dancing, loving souls). On my best days, I believe what it says, and on the hard days, it serves as a reminder of what is true. There is a greater plan, we have the gifts we need to accomplish our purpose, we are exactly who and where we are supposed to be, and we should celebrate that fact.
Most prayers are phrased so that we are talking to God, but here, God is talking to us--calmly and gently reminding us that we are enough. I need this reminder, need to let it settle into my bones, need to let it chase away my insecurities and fears.
