As you know, prayer forms a central part of my daily spiritual practice. As a child, I was brought up in the Christian faith; mum made sure my brother and I went to Sunday School and encouraged us to take part in various church related activities and functions. Mum is a stout Anglican and to this day she can’t understand my “fascination” with other religions. In fact as I write I recall a conversation with mum where she looked at me in bemusement and said [Read more…] about Weekly Prayer – A Prayer of Gratitude to Maha Lakshmi

Bless you Gentle Reader and welcome to this week’s Prayer of the Week. I pray you are well and spirit lighting your life.

This morning after meditation, I felt so grateful and abundant. I sat in my space for an extra few minutes allowing the waves of gratitude to flow through. It was a precious moment and reminded me how easy it is for us to lose touch with our Creator and drift in the world according to any ole whim.

In that vein, I was inspired to pen these few words which I would like to share with you.

Prayer of Excellence

Dear Father God, thank you for your presence in my life, for being with me, walking beside me and holding my hand. Help me to grow, to be the best I came to be, help me to shine, to radiate joy, to trust and know ALL is Thine.

Hold my hand as I take the next step, strive to reach the higher ground and leave my ego aside.

Dear Creative Spirit, guide my thoughts so that I can hold my peace and give you space to say your piece. Encourage me to see the beauty, the wonder and majesty of people I don’t take to, through your eyes, not mine, which are clouded with dirt, dust and inner city crime.

Help me to shine and guide me back to centre when I threaten to stand in my way and shove you aside-especially when your way is “too slow and time-consuming for busy ole me”. Help me to stand firm and bathe in the grace and beauty of your divine hand as I stretch, breathe and be.

With love, thanks and praises
Ntathu
