May You Always Feel Loved
New Horizons Magazine, October
[prayer]
May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you
may not always understand.
May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give
you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with
courage and optimism. Always know that there are those whose love and
understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone.
May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of
peace. May a kind word, a reassuring touch, a warm smile be yours every
day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them.
Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending. Teach love to those
who know hate, and let that love embrace you as you go into the world.
May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you
may call upon them. Remember, those whose lives you have touched and
who have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters
were less than you would have wished. It is the content of the encounter
that is more important than its form.
May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead
place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart. Find time in
each day to see beauty and love in the world around you. Realize that
each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is different in
our own way. What you may feel you lack in one regard may be more than
compensated for in another. What you feel you lack in the present may
become one of your strengths in the future.
May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility.
Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.
May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself,
and not be dependent on another’s judgments of your accomplishments.
May you always feel loved.
