An Age Esteem Prayer Of Thanksgiving
A RETURN TO LOVE by Marianne Williamson hangs framed on my wall to remind me of my own commitment to shine unabashedly at every age. You will recognize its influence within this Age Esteem Prayer of Thanksgiving.
An Age Esteem Prayer Of Thanksgiving
Dear God, Spirit of Life,
We thank you for the blessings of the enlightened voices you have given us and the experience, talents and wisdom that have grown us into who we are today.
We know that we each have a unique power within us to manifest our light. – That we are powerful beyond measure. We were indeed born to manifest the glory that is within us and to share our voices abundantly.
We are grateful for the freedom to let our lights shine unconsciously as a beacon to others so that they, too, might break through their own barriers of fear and self-consciousness.
Be with each person as she and he steps into her own power of voice and “being” her authentic self, filled with love, laughter, gratitude and commitment to test her voice in new ways as a gift to the world.
Guide us to wash away our fears and self-imposed limits in our thinking and actions.
Shower your blessings upon us as we ripen and mature knowing that the definition of aging and elders depends on how WE choose to live and the examples that we become for generations to follow.
And so it is. Amen.
Written for my interview on Using Your Authentic Voice to Transform the World.
