Embrace the gift of this new day.
Open your heart and soul,
Settling into this moment.
Sitting attentively in your prayer space or meditation cushion,
Close your eyes and notice the gentle rise and fall of your breath.
Sink into the holy stillness.
Become present to the presence of God within you.
Gently repeat this prayer after me.
And as you do,
May the words seep into your soul and resonate through your being as they transform your life one moment,
One day at a time.
I welcome you,
Most Holy Spirit,
Into everything that comes my way today.
Into every relationship,
I welcome you.
With every person that crosses my path and in every conversation,
I welcome you.
In each and every circumstance,
I welcome you.
In every situation that arises,
Planned and unplanned,
I welcome you.
Through every challenge and ease of movement,
I welcome you.
Let me always remember,
I am not here on my own effort,
But by the power of the Spirit that sustains me,
By the life of the Spirit that moves through me.
I ask for wisdom and courage to approach this day with love,
Faith,
And confidence.
I ask for discernment and a clear vision so I may remain on the high path of grace.
Always open to you,
My Most High God.
I ask for your guidance.
I ask for your guidance so I may stay out of my own way.
I release now my need for security and acceptance.
I release my need for approval and affection.
I let go of my need for control.
I let go of my need to be right.
For I trust that as I live this day,
In and through the presence of the Living God,
All things will work together for good.
All things will work together for my healing,
My transformation,
And my deepest longing.
To know Christ,
To love Christ,
And to live Christ,
My truest self.
Let it be so.
Let it be now.
Let it be.
Amen.
