We raise up our hands
in praise
and in petition.
Open up our hearts
that we might hear
Divine guidance
flowing through to us
and through us
to others and earth.
We have lost our way
as you can see
and it seems
a miracle is in order,
and we know you
have access to those.
Is it possible to return
us to ourselves?
In such a way
that we
remember who we are
and what we were made for?
Allow us to feel the love
that is most true
so that we can heal
these wounds of fear
and join in true connection.
We need this.
Thank you
for listening to our cries,
and for showing up
all over the world
and especially
in my heart today.
May this prayer
or ones like it be sent up
today to you from
around the world so that
your love flows to all beings now.
Amen.
