Gracious Giver
Blessed be your many names
Allah, Brahma, Adonai, God,
None of them your own proper title
But our human attempts to name unknowable
You.
You who are the whole of life, the
all-in-all,
Enable us to see beyond the illusion of
separateness
To glimpse the unity of all beings
The perfection at creation’s core
The miracle of each person and every
moment.
Teach us to live as though interdependence
and mutuality
Were the laws that govern all existence,
As indeed they truly are.
Supply our necessities, and keep us from
wanting what we cannot have.
Stir compassion toward our neighbors,
And free us from the prisons of anger and
resentment.
Keep us safe from envy,
And deliver us from the inner demons
Of
hatred and ingratitude.
But keep our minds and hearts centered in beauty,
Steady in the hands of justice of and
mercy,
Trusting in You who are most trustworthy,
Source of goodness and reconciliation and
love.
