Holy Spirit,
let me hold
no separate identity
apart from you.

Let me see all ideas,
all thoughts,
that tell me I exist
as a being apart,
and let me surrender those thoughts
into the dust of nothingness
from which they came.

As I surrender my thoughts,
I surrender my heart too.
But I surrender my heart,
not to nothingingness,
but to everything
and only-thing,
which is to surrender to You.

Make of me a slave,
moved only by You
through my desire
to have no semblance
of my own identity,
an identity I would call mine.

Make my identity
ours,
one and the same.

Amen.

~A prayer of awakening

My prayer today
is for the state of constantness
as a state that I hold
in my awareness
always.

As the ego struggles for experience,
let me stay in constantness.
Let me watch the ego’s efforts
from awareness of constantness
and peace.

Let me not interact with the ego
by believing it,
or joining it,
or trying to stop its workings.

Let me remain in constantness
and know where I am.

Amen.

~A prayer of awakening

All of my thinking
does not matter.
It is only a way
of keeping the ego alive.

What will unfold
will unfold,
and I choose
to be grateful for it.

In peace, I accept peace
as the only essence.
In peace,
I am grateful.

I surrender my thinking
in gratitude.

I do not deny the temptation to think,
but I surrender my thinking in gratitude,
and I ask,
“How am I to see this?”
“What am I to do?”

Amen.

~A prayer of awakening

My heart does know what it wants.
Let me surrender to You,
my Holy Spirit,
as a loving slave
surrenders to its master.

Let me not think for myself
about either problem
or solution.

Let me only surrender
in blissful trust
of my master’s all-knowing ways.

Let me be happy to serve,
and let me be happy to wait
when the next order of service
has not yet been given.

As I surrender to you,
I let go of ego.
Thank you for the gift of surrender.

Amen.

~A prayer of awakening

Peace is my only goal.
Not happiness within a world
or with an object,
but peace,
which transcends all worlds
and all objects.

I close my eyes
and sense the Source of peace.

I am still,
and I am one with that Source.

I choose not to forget what I am
as I experience a world and objects.
Let that knowledge transcend
all I seem to see
and be all that I experience
in anything.

Amen.

~A prayer of awakening

Let me remember
I am in the presence of God.

Where ever I am,
who ever I am with,
there is God;
that is God;
in God I am;
it is God I am with.

Let me not forget
and see with human eyes,
thinking with human thoughts.

Let me stay tuned
to the guidance of God,
which remembers all is God
and interacts with God
always.

Amen.

~A prayer of awakening

Let me not today
become entangled in the world I see,
in its problems
or in its pleasures.

Let me remain instead
inwardly focused
with my eye and my ear
on my Teacher,
my Guide.

Let me be led
without a thought for the world,
but only a thought
for listening and following.

This is true surrender
and this is my desire,
my goal and my purpose
now.

Take my hand and lead me.

Amen.

~A prayer of awakening

Oh Holy Spirit,
You have given me so many gifts,
and now I choose
to return them all to You.

I shall give as you have asked.
I shall be in the thought of You.

Today I choose the path of awakening
as the only path I walk today.

Highlight for me
the errors that persist
within my mind.

I will surrender those errors
and not cling to them.

I shall ask for the thought
You would give,
and I will treasure it
in my mind and heart.

Amen.

~A prayer of awakening

Peace comes from true knowledge,
but true knowledge is not learned
or gained.

True knowledge is
within the peace of your Heart
now.

When panic strikes
go to the Heart for guidance.
Trust implicitly
the guidance of the Heart.

Do not think about its guidance.
Accept it.
Do not worry about what will come next.
Trust the guidance of the Heart
is always available.

This is the way to peace
in every moment
of now.

~From our Holy Spirit

Love is formless.
A joy that springs forth from form
is mistaken identification.

It is mistaken identification
with the body
as who you are
and how you live.

When the mistake arises,
pause.
Let go of the mind’s thoughts about form,
and investigate the true source of joy.

Discover that joy is formless,
and its only true source is formless love.

Let go of idea-attachment to objects
and revel in true joy always.

~From our Holy Spirit
