Eternal One,
Creator of the Universe
Who rolls light away from darkness
And darkness from light,
Teach us to allow the brilliance of Your presence
To see the people we encounter
As whole individuals
So that we will look inside them just enough
To recognize that, most of the time,
They want to view us in the most positive light.
When someone asks for help, may we offer assistance without fear.
When a person who is lost seeks direction,
may we properly point them on their way without any thought that they may attempt to cause us harm.
When our fellow human beings simply desire honest affirmation for who they truly are,
May we open our ears, minds and hearts to them
Based on respect, compassion, understanding, and generosity,
Offering them the brightness of our very souls
That will seep through any barriers that may exist between us.
God of night and day,
May each evening end with a sense of satisfaction
For how we spread Your Oneness among our neighbors
In the hours that have passed
And for how we will resolve to do the same, in the days to come.
