The Harvest Prayer
Beloved Spirit,
With a heart filled with faith, I offer to Thee the flowers of my sincere gratitude for all that Thou has given. Manifest within me the wisdom to understand, the power to overcome all the unsettling obstacles in my path towards Thee, in my path towards success in life. Help me to find Thy grace, that silver lining, in all the cloudy circumstances that confront me. Fill me with Thy light and love.
Peace. Amen.
