Here’s
a prayer of commitment based on John 15:1-3, 11-32, the parable of the Prodigal
Son. It was written by Ann Siddall, of
the Stillpoint Spirituality Center.
Prayer
(inspired by John
15:1-3, 11-32)
Father,
it was said of the Prodigal Son that he “came to himself.”
Help
us to wake up to ourselves, and to You.
Set
us free from the illusion of trying to be perfect
so
that we might be more fully human.
Help
us not to chase after an imaginary life,
and
to find satisfaction in our real lives.
And
turn us away from our self-rejection
so
that we might see that Your arms open in welcome. Amen.
