The Fullness of the Blessing

[MajestyJo]

This reminds me of the 11th Step Prayer.

Morning and Night Prayer:

What is commonly referred to as the Eleventh Step Prayer, or the Prayer of St. Francis provides us specific direction on how to live God's will.

Lord, make me a channel of thy peace
that where there is hatred, I may bring love
that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness
that where there is discord, I may bring harmony
that where there is error, I may bring truth
that where there is doubt, I may bring faith
that where there is despair, I may bring hope
that where there are shadows, I may bring light
that where there is sadness, I may bring joy.

Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted
to understand, than to be understood
to love, than to be loved.
For it is by self-forgetting that one finds.
It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.
It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life.

The universal spiritual qualities which the prayers encourages us to channel are guidelines to God's will. This prayer maps our journey from our lower, defective emotions or our ego to those of our SpiritSelf. If I act with these intentions I will always be following God's will:

Love, Forgiveness, Harmony, Truth, Faith, Hope, Light, Joy
