For those who are warriors against the evil that exists in this world...a meditation




Prayer

Great God of Love, without you I am nothing
Without you I do not even cast a shadow
You are my substance my form
I exist only in you

Guard me against the paralysis of my fears 
Grant me the strength to live with the consequences of my actions
May I always act for those who cannot
To win fairness where none is present

May I see you in everyone I encounter
Feel your presence in my adversaries
Act in your name in support those who have nothing
Celebrate your greatness with my every breath

Thank you for my strength, my imagination and my innovation
I will use these gifts to keep your light gleaming
In a darkening world
Thank you for my fear and frailty.
They define my extents that I may surpass them

May I find peace in the struggle of living
Knowing that the struggle is good and the fight worthwhile
If Fairness Dignity and Love are the process and the goals

A wonderful prayer Joe. The world is quite dark at the moment.

I like this, and I see themes that resonate. There are things (mentioned here) that I need urgently to work on! Glad you shared.

Magnificent! I want to add it to my personal prayer book. May I do so with your attribution. It’s OK if not, I understand. And thank you whatever your answer.
