GOD'S PRAYER TO YOU by Sandra Allagapen

I was taking part in a guided meditation one day…

 When we were told that God/the Divine was the energy that had come forward and He/She was praying, it caused my left-brained self to come to a screeching halt! God praying? Hold on, WE pray to God. Who would God pray to?? So I asked right there and then: “Who do you pray to, God?”

To my surprise, the answer rang clear as a bell: “I pray to you”. Over the course of the next day, this message came through and it remains to this day, one of my favorite poems, one that I feel drawn to share as often as I can.

It has opened my eyes and my heart to all the support that is there for me. So often we feel alone because we feel that our prayers are not being answered. But in truth we often push away the help we prayed for, simply because it isn’t what we expected.

If we ask for peace and a bird lands close to us the next day, do we take time to really see it and wonder at how unafraid it is of us and laugh at its cheek and cheer? Do we allow ourselves to be transported if only for one minute to a place of joy – and peace – or do we walk on by, because of our expectations of how that peace should come to us, thereby ignoring the fact that just that one minute of connection with the bird, could have moved us from our mind into our heart and led us to the solution we had prayed for?

This poem has transformed my perception of the Divine and my relationship with God. I pray that it does the same for you. 

God's Prayer to You

I pray 

that you are willing to receive the abundance of blessings

 that I wish to shower you with.

I pray

 that you consider the opportunities 

that I lovingly create for you.

I pray

 that you open-heartedly listen for my voice

 in all of my creations, big and small.

I pray

 that you allow the friends I send to care for you,

 to guide and support you.

I pray

 that every time you look at the stars or see a bird, 

you recognize that they are the “I love you” notes

 I have left all over the universe for you.

I pray 

that you accept all that you have asked me for.

I pray

 that you let me remind you 

of all the magic and power I gave you.

I pray

 that you remember that every day

 I place my infinite faith in you 

and that you learn to trust yourself too.

I pray

 that you surrender 

all of your fears and doubts to me.

I pray

 that in your times of sorrow, 

you let me hold your hand and dry your tears.

I pray

 that you rest, play, laugh and love 

with the childlike abandon that I created you with.

I pray

 that you know that nothing you can say, do, think or feel 

could ever diminish who you are to me.

I pray

 that you love yourself as I love you.
