Recalibration of Force
by Rev. Kamatara Johnson, Director of Collaborative Ministries
God is Unconditional Love for all, the font of Grace, the Animator of all of life. God is the Infinite Expression of life as we know it, and even beyond what we can understand. God is absolutely everything, but I especially invoke the compassion and life-affirming powers of the Divine right now.
I know I am aligned with this Divine compassion and grace. I am God in action: the hands, the heart, the voice of God. I am filled with loving kindness for all who cross my path. I am an instrument of peace and a center of support, affirming life in myself and life in others.
Rooted in the Divine, I affirm for myself, and all who read this prayer, a recalibration of force…to tone it down and be more gentle. I welcome Spirit to guide my thoughts and Grace to speak my words. I act mindfully, truly seeing and hearing the person before me. I slow down and listen from the heart. I stop my “to-do” list. There is nothing to check off about the beautiful person who is before me at the moment. I release my aggressive ways, my assumptions, and game playing, whether conscious or unconscious. I am fully present to serve and support each person as he or she crosses my path. I step into the spirit of Namaste’ and truly see the Divine in all. My heart and mind are open to the flow of the Divine through me, as me.
I give thanks for this moment of prayer, this time out to tap back into the Divine and recognize my Truth. I appreciate the ability to be more mindful and the opportunity to practice grace and loving kindness with a gentle and life-affirming touch.
So I release this prayer into the Law, knowing that Spirit is already manifesting its gentle grace in my right now. It is done. And so it is. Amen.
