Let me remember
that the sky is not the sky,
the clouds are not clouds
and rain is not rain.
All that my mind shows me
as I look upon the world
is an error and a mirage.
How can I think I know
based on what I see and experience?
To think I know
based on what I see
is to be a fool
believing a fool’s images.
Let me be wise
and trust not my sight.
Let me surrender fully
to You.
Amen.
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.
The day is fresh. All staining that seemed to occur is misperception (in the first place) and in the past (in the second place). Today is fresh.
What shall one do with a fresh new day? What does one want to do with it? God would never ask you to do something you did not want to do.
Ask yourself, “What do I want to do with this day?” Recognize that the answer to this question is yours. It was not coerced upon you. It came from your Heart.
Then ask your Heart to join you in partnership in making this day be exactly the day you want it to be.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
