Prayer for Friends


You have created us to live in community,
O God of love;
bless our friends who provide us
with the grace and love of an extended family.
Endow them with the riches of your blessings:
good health, sight, and mobility,
that they may enjoy the wonders of your creation
and share their delight with others.
Bless them with keen minds and compassionate hearts
that they may create a better life for all.
Guard them from injustice, oppression, and evil
that they may know freedom and hope lifelong.
In their waking and in their sleeping,
in their laughter and in their tears,
surround them with your love
until the end of their days;
and so bring them to eternal life in peace.
Through Jesus Christ, our Savior.
Amen.

Dear Sandy, this prayer touches me deeply. This community, Givnology, our sacred circle of kindred souls on a path of love and harmony, is the beauty and love that it is because it is us, each and every one, and you contribute such transcendant compassion to us. You are quite welcome, and thank you as well for the love you give so freely.

May our "virtual treehouse," "love-centered clubhouse," "heavenly haven," sacred circle of kindred spirits ever be a healing loving place to call home. May our sharing of creations, ideas and intentions manifest in the best ways for all concerned. And so it is.

Love and light being, Teo

Thank you Sandy and everyone who has added to this beautiful prayer.

Sincerely,
