Your Hands and Love created and fashioned me;
give me understanding that I may live fully in You.
Those who follow the ego are in darkness;
may they see how You have transformed my life with light.
May they rejoice and turn away from empty paths;
may they find hope in your Way.
May I always welcome love and assurance,
and offer these gifts to those who weep and live in illusion.
Let your mercy and compassion wash over me,
that I may ever work on behalf of justice.
And grant me a generous heart, O, my Friend and Teacher,
for I would give freely of my time and energy in your Name.
Nan C. Merrill Psalms for Praying
Reflection:
The God who created, loves, and forgives me, also transforms me with Love that I may have a generous heart and work on behalf of justice. God’s mercy and compassion is poured out on me, and I hope that others can see that they too are worthy of forgiveness and Love. May my life reflect the life God has created within me.
