Prayers

Our words and thoughts have an impact. Here are two very meaningful and potent prayers:

As I live every day, I want to be a channel for peace.
May I bring love where there is hatred, and healing where there is hurt;
Joy where there is sadness and hope where there is fear.
I pray that I may always try to understand and comfort other people,
As well as seeking comfort and understanding from them.
Wherever possible, may I choose to be a light in the darkness,
a help in times of need, and a caring, honest friend.
May justice, kindness and peace flow from my heart forever. Amen.

Based on the Prayer of St. Francis of Assissi, and expanded by
The Reverend Greta Vosper, West Hill United Church, Toronto

Divine light shines in me
Divine life permeates and heals every atom of my being.
I am the resurrection of life.
