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.

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?”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
