Blessed souls, welcome to today’s post. I trust life is treating you and your loved ones well. Feel free to browse around my site and enjoy the other inspirational posts on offer.
Today’s post is a prayer, one of the morning prayers I wrote which I like to read as part of my daily spiritual practice. A while back I shared with you my thoughts re prayer and meditation and shared a prayer of Gratitude I wrote in honour of Maha Lakshmi; I was touched by your kind thoughts and sentiments re the value of prayer, religion and meditation in your life.
Sometimes, when I meditate, I feel such a connection and deep sense of awe at the majesty of life that I’m left “speechless”. Today’s prayer is my attempt to capture this emotion.
Morning Prayer – Prayer of Grace
Dear Mother Earth, as I walk through your world, through the cracks and valleys of life, I pray for love—love of self and others. I pray that I remain true to myself and honour, care for, and protect myself.
Dear Mother Earth, it is through your guidance and your constant commitment to life that I’m here. Ready to serve. To live. Create and be. A divine soul, a budding flower, blossoming, overflowing with joy, peace and grace.
I thank you, oh divine creative spirit of mine, for the gifts bestowed within and pray that your beauty will shine through my being. Your love radiates through my eyes, and your essence of truth, justice, and honour flows through my heart.
Mother Earth, I thank you for the gift of life.
May I always remain close to you and show love and appreciation for your glorious creation.
In peace,
Ntathu

I was dividing some plants and was looking for a prayer to use when returning the leftover cuttings, etc, to Mother Earth. Spirit led me to this prayer and it could not have been more appropriate! I saved it and will use it again! Namaste and thank you so much!
Deep bows and thank you for trusting and following through on the guidance and nudges received. Take care and be well.
