In the midst of the devastation in Haiti, survivors huddle together in outdoor areas. One group has gathered and is living in a park near where the international media has set up to cover the disaster. There is no electricity and only a few candles glow in the dark as people settle in for another restless night. A reporter asked a man, “How have you all survived in the park with no water, no food?”. The man replied, “We pray and sing psalms.” In the background of the news report, many people can be heard praying and singing.

Here in an incredibly difficult circumstance, many people are showing a profound faith in spirit. Another television report showed a man being removed from the rubble after he spent three days in darkness and uncertainty. He was asked, “How did you manage to hang on?” The survivor replied, “I prayed to God to save my life and he did.” (more…)

Today I want to share with you a prayer I wrote during my annual 21 day fast last February. I hope you will enjoy it, and use it in your daily prayers if you like. The prayer is titled, Eheyeh Adonai, which is Hebrew for I Am Lord.

Eheyeh Adonai, Inherent Ruler of All. I am merely a cell in your vast body of
Consciousness. Yet in this cell vibrates the full power of your divine majesty
and in all things I sense your Presence. As consciousness I call upon Supreme
Consciousness, which is all love, all unity, all wisdom, and all life; to awaken
this body-mind to your celestial reality. (more…)
