A Yogi Prayer for Peace

Dearest God

Help us draw closer to you when despair

and its well 

feel nearly impossible to crawl out from

Use our breath

Use our minds

Use our words

and especially guide our actions.

May we move from space that is

quiet

centered

and deeply anchored in love

Always love.

Help us as we move through chaos

Bring us back to wholeness.

May we see our inner strength

May we seek justice and truth.

Help us stay grounded, tall, and steady.

When we wobble and waver

bring stillness

pause 

and rest 

to body, mind, and spirit.

May we seek wholeness from fragmentation

Unity where division tries to grow

trusting in light and wisdom

so much larger than our imagining.

Bring us peace

We have need of you. 

Hurry.

God's people

and we are all God's people

need some strength.

Be our companion on this journey

May our paths be true.

Help us celebrate light

the bright pure essence

in each one of us

Your light that continues

to shine in darkness.

Help us see more clearly

Wipe our eyes of violence and rage

to see you

in everyone we meet.
