Dear God,

Please make my life
A sacred place
Not only for me,
But for those I meet.
May everyone who enters my life
Be blessed,
And may I be blessed by them.
Send to me those
With whom I am meant to grow.
Show us how to love each other
In ways that serve You best.
Amen.

Dear God,
Please make of my life
A beautiful thing.
Guide me on an illumined journey
From the darkness of the world
To the light that is You.
Make of me a conduit
Of good
That I might help transform the world.
Set my feet upon a hero's journey
And my heart on an enlightened path. Amen.
