Dorothy and I are off to San Antonio to attend the 45th Annual Advanced Family Law Course put on by the State Bar of Texas. We will be with judges, trial lawyers, collaborative divorce attorneys and mediators who are all dedicated to being the best for others who are caught in the emotional and financial underbrush of divorce and child custody disputes.
Besides traveling to San Antonio, we are all on a deeper, life-long journey to make a difference for others in what we do and who we are.
This week’s prayer on Spiritual Watchfulness was written for those who can benefit from spiritual direction in reconciliation, separation or divorce to use prayer to find discernment, forgiveness, hope, and calm wisdom.
To my fellow members of the Bar and my prayer community, please share this week’s prayer with anyone who is struggling with the challenges of reconciliation, separation or divorce.
In prayer we share a curriculum not normally learned at any Course–prayer as the way to find purpose and love at present in our service to others.
Prayer for Spiritual Watchfulness
Almighty God, Your Kingdom has no boundaries. Through Your Son Jesus Christ, and the intercession of Your saints, angels, and archangels, we have been shown the way to Heaven.
As I move through each day during a time of reconciliation, separation or divorce, may I be ever watchful for the signs that You are near me.
May I see Your angels, who are Your messengers in my midst, bending over me. May I hear in my heart the messages You send me.
Heavenly Father help me to discern the way to live more richly, to love more deeply, to live and die more devoted to You, and to be more deserving of admittance into Your Heavenly Kingdom. Amen
If you like this prayer, please share.
