As we enter another new year most of us are wondering what it will hold for us. There is so much talk of gloom and doom that, on some level, we expect it. We should because these things exist; however, the Light of Divinity, if expressed through love, prayer and service, will illuminate the darkness. We are potentially masters of our own lives and creators of spiritual opportunity, not pawns waiting to blown hither and yon by the fickle winds of political change and upheaval.

Below are prayers and thoughts for renewal as we approach another new year. These are designed to help you align yourself with God as your first action of each day, before even you reach for your daily cup of coffee or read the newspaper. By doing this, each day of your life will be as the blank canvas of an artist, waiting for the masterpiece of your inspired thoughts and loving actions. Just by aligning our thoughts each day with wisdom and prayers will help us all gain a more spiritual perspective which in turn will bring inner peace, fulfillment and appreciation for life.

My Spiritual Master, Dr. George King, taught that “time is the measurement of change.” It is not a linear thing that just measures 24 hours in each day; it is a living dimension and cycle of choices, growth and evolution. Each day is more than the number of hours it contains; it is a blank canvas on which we can choose to paint the masterpiece of our own becoming.

There is a stillness and quietude in the ethers as the new dawn of each day arises. There is a feeling of possibility, of optimism, of hope and of expectancy. The day stretches out before us, as yet untouched by our desires, our choices and our achievements. There is a purity about the new day and a freshness.

What better way to begin than through communion with our rich, inner world, God’s world? Let us decide, here and now, to speak only those words that nurture and kindle the flame of love through and around us. Let us remain expectant. Let us enjoy enthusiasm, for it will signal to the world that we are ready to break free from the chains that bind us to our lesser selves. Let us tread lightly through this day, remembering we have the power of choice.

This is the day. It is the day when all that has passed before you is gone and all our future dreams can be created anew. It is the day when we can choose to cast aside our fears, our anger and our shame. This is the most important day in all our many lifetimes, for it is now.

The Dawn

Listen to the salutation to the dawn,

Look to this day for it is life, the very life of life,

In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of our existence.

The bliss of growth, the splendor of beauty,

For yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow is only a vision,

But today well spent makes every yesterday a dream of happiness

and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well therefore to this day.

Such is the salutation to the dawn.

Dr. Rabindranath Tagore

Prayer for Abundance

Oh Mighty Creator

I am One with Thee; my heart beats as Yours

My soul, yearning to return, seeks Yours.

And in this brief passage through external Life

I remember Thy Infinite Wisdom that dwells silently within.

May I rest in this place, making my desires Thy own.

May I want for nothing, but merge myself ever closer to Thee

Knowing that abundance is but an expression of

Thy infinite Bounty.

I align my thoughts and feelings with Thee

So that Thy treasures may be mine.

I realize that that the Cosmos is Thy Limitless Source and Supply.

The more I share my God-given gifts with all, the more I prosper.

The more I surrender myself to Thy inner riches

The more I may abundantly bestow riches to Thy external world.

Oh Father, Oh Mother, you provide me with all that I need

So that Thy riches may flow to, through and around me to all Life

Now – at this very moment

I offer my humble prayer in Thankfulness

To Thee – Eternal Creator, Provider and Sustainer of All Life.

Great Peace, Great Peace, Great Peace

May Thy Will be mine.

Thoughts for 2006

I believe the only way forward is to align ourselves more fully with the Laws of God and then come outward in service to our world.

We need enlightened people on this planet. We need men and women prepared to take responsibility, not just for themselves and their own lives but for the whole world.

We need to realize the deeper truths. We have the free will to change. We are not born to suffer. Let us determine as we paint the blank canvas of 2006 that we will rise out limitation into greater service for our world.

This is the most important day in all our lifetimes, for it is now.
