PRAYER

Oh Lord, hear my supplication!
Open my eyes to Truth, that out of Your all-comprehending mercy and understanding I may see Your world and my fellow men as You have made them not as I wish them to be. Unseal my ears to the eternal rhythm and cadence of Your universe, that I may hear Your voice and word in the cause of all things, not the empty echo of my own pronouncements. Enlighten my understanding that I may know that behind all which is, You are not the feeble reflection my own personality.
Teach me to believe but one thing: Your reality and ever present nearness to me. Instill within my heart and mind the consuming desire to know all else by my own work and effort, that I may at long last come to the perfect understanding and realization of Your mighty works, and so pass on from this temporal consciousness to whatever destiny Your unfailing wisdom may have ordained for me.
