Prayer for Protection
“Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.” - Colossians 3:2
I Focus on the World I Wish to See Protected by God
I open my heart, mind, and soul as I align myself with Spirit. I know I am one with this Divine essence and it radiates in and around me.
My wish is to live in a world that is harmonious and that individuals are filled with kindness and gentleness. I focus my thoughts on those qualities, allowing them to fill my mind and my heart. These thoughts of kindness and harmony begin to crowd out troublesome concerns about conflict and discord in the world. Regardless of the outer world circumstances I hold a higher vision.
I am present to the world, yet I remain mindful of its changeability and impermanence. I focus my attention on that which is changeless, love, peace, harmony and the perfection of God. I send a deep intention to all those who are filled with anger, rage and hatred to be released and to be filled with self-love and compassion. I also pray that all gathering places are surrounded by Divine light protecting those within from the individuals who are lost and afraid to seek guidance and help. God surrounds all gatherings and those who are able to protect these gatherings are present as the shield of God. I claim, know and accept that I am always protected, guided and guarded no matter where I go. God has filled me with this faith and trust.
I am never at the mercy of present circumstances, no matter how troubling. Instead, I focus my attention on all that is right and true. By focusing on Divine love, peace, and perfection, I help to manifest those qualities in the world.
I release this prayer into the Infinite beingness of God. I embody and shine my Divine light combining it with all those who hold love, light and peace in their hearts. I am filled with gratitude knowing this new reality. It is done. I let go and I let it be. And so it is. Amen.
