Presence Prayer by Sharon Douglas

 Let us pray:

Let us pray for the presence of our supreme being in our lives,

To guide us and to shepherd us,

To take our hand and hold us when we are sad,

To have a shoulder to lean on in our times of trouble.

May I be a presence for others as my supreme being is to me.

May I be poised, courteous and at ease in my presence,

May I be a protective presence for those who need it,

And may I remember also to be a calming presence for myself.

For all experiences (good or bad) are better with the presence of a

Caring person who is willing to share of themselves.

So today let our presence to others be one of kindness, compassion,

empathy and of quality.  Amen.
