Prayers of Joy by Rev Annette Olsen

Prayers of Joy

Morning Joy

As I awake to the new day, I remember, I am made in the image and likeness of “the transcendent whole of things.” (1)  This is the day I have been given to experience life as the great expanse of Love, Light, Joy, and so much more.

Centered in the great Universal Source, I am confident and strong on this path.  I release any tension, fear, or sense of lack; as I open Heart and Mind to the centering power of Presence. (Take a moment to pause and take three deep cleansing breaths.  In the nose and out the mouth.)

My mind, thoughts, feelings, and words are “stayed on thee” as I call upon my inner Joy, always present and available to me.   This Perfect Awareness will deepen with every breath I take today.

From this place I call upon my deepest awareness of Spiritual Joy.  I visualize the perfect creation of this day with Wholeness, Presence, Open Heart, and Joy.

Breathing into Absolute Truth, “the whole universe of innate substance is centered in me”. (2)

Knowing this…I awaken completely to the Absolute Light of Joy. And so, it is…

 

Noon Joy

As the gift of this day unfolds, I breathe with awareness and remember, I am made in the image and likeness of “the transcendent whole of things.” (1)  I have been given more moments to experience life as the great expanse of Joy, Love, Peace, and so much more.

I breathe deeply into the experience of gratitude for all I have experienced today.  I become gratitude, as my deepening sense of all I Am, all I have been given, and all that is yet to come rises in my awareness.

I see so clearly and joyfully the beauty of life unfolding before me.

I become still and am willing to release anything less than that Deepening Awareness of the Absolute Joy that I Truly am.

I hold in my open heart, prayers of Healing Light and Love for all who are suffering.  I see them from the place of Centered Oneness. I hear and speak the perfect words from the awareness of Christ Consciousness. 

I give thanks for the Joy I am, the Love that enfolds me, and the Peace that guides me.  And so, it is…

 

Evening Joy

As this day ends, I breathe deeply and relax into the calm, clear, Truth of who I Am.   I am made in the image and likeness of “the transcendent whole of things.” (1)  Everything unlike Joy, Love, and Life falls away.  I am calm, clear, and centered.  Nothing disturbs the Peace of my Soul.

I find solace in my time of gratitude for all I have experienced today.  (Take some moments to breathe deeply and write down your daily gratitude’s.) I am moved into grace and ease as my deepening sense of my True Nature rises from within.

I rest easily, knowing I created this journey today with the intention and willingness to be fully open to Joy.  I experienced a greater clarity of Life today, filled with joyous moments.

What a blessing life is to me.  I let the day go as I breathe peacefully. I fall asleep rocked in the arms of Peace, gentle Joy, and Love. And so, it is…
