Prayer For Abundance

Prayer For Abundance

by Rev. Deborah Olive

Breathe deeply the rhythms of life, of earth … of action and rest
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Feel the ebb - the flow.
Experience and know the rhythm of life.
The give. The take.

Take time off the wheel.
Take your hand from the plow,
     and let God and the earth care for things,
     while you drink from the fountain of rest and delight.
Listen to what is most deeply beautiful, nourishing or true.
Become still. Become still … and know God.

Living, Loving God … we rest in
     The depth of Your peace
     The vastness of Your love
     The richness of Your abundance
     The awesome gift of Your wisdom.
     We take refuge in You.
Make Your home in me as I make mine in you.

So … we become still and in the space of infinite possibility,
     we declare our consciousness of abundance,
     offering gratitude and thanksgiving for all the good we see
     and all the good we do not see
Thank you God, that we live "in the flow"
Thank you, God for the faith that reveals our good
Thank you, God for Divine Ideas, the currency of the Universe
Thank you God, for generosity and the desire to make a difference in our world
Thank you God, for all good gifts.

And where we do not yet see abundance
     Sweet, sweet Spirit, move in and through us - to heal us at depth.
     Wherever there is fear, God, grant us faith.
     Where there is a sense of separation,
     grant that we might know our oneness
     May all sense of lack or limitation be swept away
     So … we might heal at depth

We easily and joyfully give what is ours to give
Time, talent, treasure
We know that all we need is right here
     and that we are a mighty magnet attracting our good.

We are open and receptive to enough and more than enough
We accept all the good You have for us
     In spirit and in truth
     Physically, mentally and emotionally
We accept it easily and gracefully.

Sweet, sweet Spirit, You are abundance and delight
I need only remember that I am made in Your image and Your likeness
     I am the light of the world
     I am endowed with strength, faith and wisdom

And in the silence, I listen for your guidance for myself and my community

Silence

Thank you, God.
This is an abundant world.
Thank you, God.
I am refreshed and renewed.
I live in happiness and peace.

A spirit of gratitude opens our hearts ... so we say,
"Thank you, Thank you, God.
Thank you, God." Amen.
