Inner Calm

INNER CALM

Master of my universe, bless me with inner calm and shleimut– wholeness and peace. Allow me to accept all parts of myself – those that serve, and those that challenge.

Bless me to know that You love me, that I am worthy and that I have everything I need. To know that You believe in me and my ability to daily rise daily to handle the vicissitudes of life. And, bless me to trust that all that happens doesn’t happen to me; it happens for me.

I long to hear the whisper of Your voice – the voice of goodness and clarity within me. Help me to discern its authenticity and courageously choose its path. Let me exercise compassion toward myself and others as I go through this evolution of becoming – becoming the shalem person who You created me to be.
