Prayer of Everlasting

Father,

We greet the beauty of pure potential contained in this day. We open ourselves to feeling the rise of a surging vitality in your everlasting love touching our everlasting spirit. The spirit that you loved before we were born and will still love after we leave this world. As we connect with that inner part of us, we start to feel that we can let go of the old ways of being and live a life surpassing any limitations we thought were there. This gives us a clear internal feeling of freedom, Father. A complete freedom that allows even more freedom to flourish. As we let go and expand into it, we can feel that sense of sustainability and exciting possibility populate our existence in this world, because we know that if you are for us, who can be against us?

You have told us that you love us with an everlasting love. When we hold that love inside, and let it expand inside our chest completely, we are filled with the light of your living essence. We can just feel that all things are possible with you, and so we let go of everything that has been holding us back and emerge anew. “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans)

Thank you for the opportunity to live this day the best way we know how. To learn how to love eathother better and see the best while cleaning out the worst. We ask for special blessings of protection and guidance during this time of change and renewal. To “Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.” (Psalm 51) May we always carry the beauty of spring in our hearts and our minds.

Let it be so,

Amen

Prayer of Rebirth

Father,

We welcome another blessed day gifted from your hands. As we observe the cycles of life in nature, we are reminded that every year brings us a new chance to learn through the rhythm of life, death and rebirth. It may feel as if our lives are on a yearly repeat, but it gives us an opportunity to elevate our experience in a way that takes us on a journey spiraling upward year by year. As we climb the staircase, Father, we become more authentic, more light-filled, more fueled by our unique passion. We embrace this season of renewal with joy.

At this point, we allow the healing process of renewal to surge, raising our spirit up and feeding our bodies. We open our hearts and invite the experience of your healing force into every cell our body. We come alive with the rhythms of life-giving nature. We know, that any time we need to be restored, we can be washed in nature’s refreshment. “Let his flesh become fresher than in youth, Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor;” (Job)

We ask that you bless our family and friends, our teams and tribes. May we all be renewed with strength and vitality, so that we may serve you in our rising reality “and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him—“ (Colossians) We know there is a way out of this mess, Father, and we know that you have cleared the path for us.

In gratitude and loving service,

Amen

Prayer of the Phoenix

Father we know that we are going through a time of upheaval and change. It seems that everything has been thrown up in the air. Father we stand in strength. We know that at the right time, justice will be applied at your mercy. Jeremiah tells us “Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them; and I will reveal to them an abundance of peace and truth.” We know that the phoenix will rise out of the ashes, that we will rebuild, and we will do it all brilliantly.

Allow us to step forth in a new awareness, in a full acceptance of ourselves as we accept one another. We ask for full blessings Father while we work to make greater change in this world. To be touched by your hand making us brighter than we’ve ever been. To challenge old ways with surprising new insights. To stand up to a system that has overreached its usefulness. And to witness your power bringing abusers low and protecting the innocent.

May we all be healed in eachother’s light knowing the love you shower onto we your children and our world. As in Galatians, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” As we stand fully in the knowing, that darkness will dissolve as your light permeates the shadows, and everything becomes clear.

Let it be so,

God is Victory,

Amen
