Dear God

Dear God,
Please show me how to love.
Teach me how to expand my light into the life of
another.
Remove the barriers to my soul, the walls which
stand in front of my heart,
My commitment to aloneness,
My resistances to joining.
I do not seek love, dear God, for I know it is all
around me.
I seek instead the healing of my resistances to it,
the strengthening of my spirit;
That I might learn to love, to love well, to love
fully, to love deeply.
When my true love calls, dear Lord,
Please keep my ears open.
Let me not shut down.
Let me not forsake him.
Let me always remember that his call to love
him is my call to love You.
Thank You very much.

Marianne Williamson
