{prayers}
Source of Being
God, I declare your love and power. I am free from worry. I radiate Your Godliness. Praise to You, my Source of being, my Voice of reason.
Hindu Mantra
From the unreal lead me to the real. From darkness lead me to light. From death lead me to immortality.
Prayer for Health and Healing
Good health is the wellspring of life. Bring healing to all of us who stand helpless against our infirmities. See us through the trials with a positive spirit, relief from pain, and faith intact.
Be a Celebration
Let me be a celebration. Help me bring delight to each moment. Guide me to happy. Whisper smiles in my ear and my lips will reflect it. I am excited to praise You my Lord, and I am giddy with appreciation for the party that is You and I – in prayer.
Bind Unto God
I bind unto myself today God’s eye to watch, His might to stay. The power of God to hold and lead, His ear to hear my every need. The wisdom of my God to teach, the word of God to give me speech. His shield protects, His hand does guide, Heavenly Host is by my side.
St. Patrick
