Prayer for Courage

Let my heart take courage, beloved Lord, perfect and adorable Light of the universe.

Let me be strong, with the strength of your grace, which is mighty and eternal, which knows when to bow to the Divine, which knows when to stand firm, which knows when to act, which knows when to bide time, waiting upon the inner unfoldment of all that is beautiful, of all that works together for good to them that love God.

Let me be your heart, made visible, so that all that I encounter are heartened after encountering me.

Let me be your kindness, made tangible, so that my hands touch all beings with grace.

Let me be your good humor, made audible, so that brightness of face and lightness of heart are left in my wake, wherever you guide me to be in this world.

Let me rest in your sanctuary, the eternal abode of the heart, the bliss of the infinite.

Let me move in your footsteps, so that every path I travel is consciously divine.

Let me speak with your words, so that all that I utter, and my silences, too, reverberate with blessings, healing, and wisdom.

Let me be your love, so that all that I meet is you, greeting me through the hands and the faces of all human beings, the earth, the sky, and all the blessed life that you are, that I am.

Let me have the strength to wait, to trust, for the divine unfoldments of the Lord. Let me align with grace, with divine timing, so that I am steady and still in the Lord, and the wave of the Infinite rocks me to sleep at night and tells me clearly when it is again time to surf.

Let me catch that wave of divine bliss perfectly.

Let me rest in the lullaby of the Lord.

Thank you, infinite Heart, for heartening me, strengthening me, blessing me. Thank you for being infinite resourcefulness and inventiveness and creativity.

Thank you for finding a way when no way seems visible to human eyes.

Thank you that all things are possible to one who believes.

Thank you that all things are possible to one who loves. Amen.
