Psalm 91
1. He who dwells in the covert of the Most High will lodge in the shadow of the Almighty.
2. I shall say of the Lord [that He is] my shelter and my fortress, my God in Whom I trust.
3. For He will save you from the snare that traps from the devastating pestilence.
4. With His wing He will cover you, and under His wings you will take refuge; His truth is an encompassing shield.
5. You will not fear the fright of night, the arrow that flies by day;
6. Pestilence that prowls in darkness, destruction that ravages at noon.
7. A thousand will be stationed at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not approach you.
8. You will but gaze with your eyes, and you will see the annihilation of the wicked.
9. For you [said], "The Lord is my refuge"; the Most High you made your dwelling.
10. No harm will befall you, nor will a plague draw near to your tent.
11. For He will command His angels on your behalf to guard you in all your ways.
12. On [their] hands they will bear you, lest your foot stumble on a stone.
13. On a young lion and a cobra you will tread; you will trample the young lion and the serpent.
14. For he yearns for Me, and I shall rescue him; I shall fortify him because he knows My name.
15. He will call Me and I shall answer him; I am with him in distress; I shall rescue him and I shall honor him.
16. With length of days I shall satiate him, and I shall show him My salvation.

Gratitude “Prayer” by Louise L. Hay
Deep at the center of my being there is an infinite well of gratitude. I now allow this gratitude to fill my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness, my very being. This gratitude radiates out from me in all directions, touching everything in my world, and returns to me as more to be grateful for. The more gratitude I feel, the more I am aware that the supply is endless. The use of gratitude makes me feel good, it is an expression of my inner joy. It is a warm fuzzy in my life.
I am grateful for myself and for my body. I am grateful for my ability to see and hear, feel and taste and touch. I am grateful for my home, and I take loving care of it. I am grateful for my family and friends, and I rejoice in their company. I am grateful for my work, and I give it my best at all times. I am grateful for my talents and abilities, and I continually express them in ways that are fulfilling. I am grateful for my income, and I know that I prosper wherever I turn. I am grateful for my past experiences, for I know that they were part of my soul’s growth. I am grateful for nature, and I am respectful for every living thing. I am grateful for today, and am grateful for the tomorrows to come.

I am grateful for my family and friends, and I rejoice in their company. I am grateful for my work, and I give it my best at all times. I am grateful for my talents and abilities, and I continually express them in ways that are fulfilling. I am grateful for my income, and I know that I prosper wherever I turn. I am grateful for my past experiences, for I know that they were part of my soul’s growth. I am grateful for nature, and I am respectful for every living thing. I am grateful for today, and am grateful for the tomorrows to come.

Uplift the consciousness of all and heal the Earth.
Stop all wars and create the peace that only You can foster.

Gratitude “Prayer” by Louise L. Hay
Deep at the center of my being there is an infinite well of gratitude. I now allow this gratitude to fill my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness, my very being. This gratitude radiates out from me in all directions, touching everything in my world, and returns to me as more to be grateful for. The more gratitude I feel, the more I am aware that the supply is endless. The use of gratitude makes me feel good, it is an expression of my inner joy. It is a warm fuzzy in my life.
I am grateful for myself and for my body. I am grateful for my ability to see and hear, feel and taste and touch. I am grateful for my home, and I take loving care of it. I am grateful for my family and friends, and I rejoice in their company. I am grateful for my work, and I give it my best at all times. I am grateful for my talents and abilities, and I continually express them in ways that are fulfilling. I am grateful for my income, and I know that I prosper wherever I turn. I am grateful for my past experiences, for I know that they were part of my soul’s growth. I am grateful for nature, and I am respectful for every living thing.

Letting Go
Help me to let go of my preoccupations with the future.
Give me the strength to stop my futile attempts
to predict and control the future. Let me see no value in my plan
of what the future should be.
Rid me of my senseless questions about tomorrow
And of all my desires to manipulate and control others.
Remind me that my fears and uncertainties of tomorrow are only related to
my unfounded fear of You.
Help me be still,
help me listen and love.
Awaken me to the truth of Your Presence being only in the now of this moment.
Lift me up into Your Arms and
remind me that I am Your Creation, and that I am the Perfection of Love.
Help me to acknowledge that I am Your Messenger of Love, and free me to shine
Your Light everywhere.
Let me feel Your Freedom within me, and let me laugh at the illusions
that my ego once made
me feel were so real.
Let me be light; let me be joy; let me know that I am
the reflection of You wherever I am, and wherever I go.

Psalm 4
1. A song of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
2. O Lord, how many have my adversaries become! Great men rise up against me.
3. Great men say concerning my soul, "He has no salvation in God to eternity."
4. But You, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory and He Who raises up my head.
5. With my voice, I call to the Lord, and He answered me from His holy mount to eternity.
6. I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord will support me.
7. I will not fear ten thousands of people, who have set themselves against me all around.
8. Arise, O Lord, save me, my God, for You have struck all my enemies on the cheek; You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
9. It is incumbent upon the Lord to save, and it is incumbent upon Your people to bless You forever.

Chapter 20
1. For the Conductor, a psalm by David.
2. May the Lord answer you on the day of distress; may the Name of the God of Jacob fortify you.
3. May He send your help from the Sanctuary, and support you from Zion.
4. May He remember all your offerings, and always accept favorably your sacrifices.
5. May He grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill your every counsel.
6. We will rejoice in your deliverance, and raise our banners in the name of our God; may the Lord fulfill all your wishes.
7. Now I know that the Lord has delivered His anointed one, answering him from His holy heavens with the mighty saving power of His right hand.
8. Some [rely] upon chariots and some upon horses, but we [rely upon and] invoke the Name of the Lord our God.
9. They bend and fall, but we rise and stand firm.
10. Lord, deliver us; may the King answer us on the day we call.
Psalm 20
Prayer for Humanity - Don Miguel Ruiz*
Today, Lord, help me to deliver the real message of humanity: the message of joy and love. Help me to deliver this message to my own mind, to that part of me that is always judging and abusing me. Let me deliver this message to that part of me that judges other humans.
Beginning today, help me to free my mind from all the false messages I deliver to myself, to every human, to every life form on this beautiful planet.
Today, Lord, I will manifest your love in every word I express, in every action I take, so that everything I do becomes a ritual of love for you. I love you so much that I can see you everywhere. There is no way you can hide from me because my love will always find you.
Beginning today, I will respect every creation and treat every creation the way I respect and treat you. I will see you in the eyes of all humans---behind their masks, behind the images they pretend to be. I will respect the life that manifests through me, so that every time I see myself in the mirror, I see the beauty of your manifestation.
Thank you, Lord, for creating me, so that I can perceive the beauty of your manifestation. Thank you for giving me an emotional body, so that I can be in ecstasy just by feeling your divine presence. I know that you are my life force, my Creator. Together we can create the most beautiful dream---a dream of love and peace and joy. Together we can create heaven on Earth, to the eternal happiness of humanity. Amen
