A Prayer to God

Dear God,

Teach me how to love.

Show me the ways of your Heart.

Turn my cavernous ruins of pain

Into Holy grounds for salvation.

Expose my darkened chords of melancholy

And transform them into melodies of Harmony.

Dissolve all daggers of brutality

Into lessons of Faith-filled vitality.

Turn me into a feather in your arms,

Emptied of worry or pain,

Free to surrender to your Holy presence.

Fill my soul with your gentle strength,

Your care and Compassion,

So that we may face each other and the world with more grace.

Let us nurture sweet melodies of hope and redemption,

Even in the most devastated spaces of our temples.

Let us transcend all doubts and despair and

Be filled with the most glorious

Visions of Light.

May we be Peacemakers,

Softly touching the parts of ourselves

That would rather be left unseen.

May we find truth in the silence of our Love,

And Beauty

In the merging of our Hearts.
