Reborn
"Dear God, The world is not as it should be. There is violence and famine and sickness and pain. Let those things die, dear God. May we be reborn.
My heart at times is not as it should be. There is conflict, unforgiveness, judgment and rage. Let those things die, dear God. May I be reborn.
As we embark upon the newness of the coming age, may the wickedness which marked the old be cast away by Love. Let wickedness die, dear God. May we be reborn.
Where a brother sees not the beauty of his brother, and a sister sees not the glory of her sister. Where a brother sees not the innocence of his sister, and a sister sees not the brilliance of her brother. May illusions die, dear God. May we be reborn.
Take this millennium, and all ages past, and strip them of their lovelessness. May only love remain. Forgive the horror, exalt the glory, redeem the past, release the future, wipe away all tears, deliver us to joy, correct our thinking and heal our hearts.
May fear now die, dear God, may we be no longer who we used to be. Release Your glory which lies within us, that all the world might be reborn.
This is my prayer for the age upon us. This is my prayer for me.
Amen. May we be reborn. Amen." --Marianne Williamson
