Lieber Gott, 

gib mir die Gelassenheit,

Dinge hinzunehmen, die ich nicht ändern kann,

den Mut,

Dinge zu ändern, die ich ändern kann,

und die Weisheit,

das eine von dem andern zu unterscheiden.

 

Reinhold Niebuhr

 

     

Dear God,

Grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change,

the courage

to change the things I can,

and the wisdom

to know the difference.

PRAYERS TO THE ANGELS FOR HELP

 

Angels are always very happy to help you.  You only have to ask them and they will spring into action, as long as it is in accordance with God’s Divine Will. There is a spiritual law, which says that angels are only allowed to help you if you ask them.  Otherwise it interferes with your free will. So please ask the angels.They love it when you communicate with them.

 

  

BITTGEBETE AN DIE ENGEL

Engel sind immer sehr glücklich wenn sie um Hilfe gebeten werden. Ihr braucht sie nur zu fragen und sie kümmern sich sofort um eure Bitte.  Die Bitte muss jedoch immer nach Gottes Willen sein.  Ein spirituelles Gesetz besagt, dass Engel euch nur helfen dürfen, wenn ihr sie darum bittet.  Ansonsten würden sie in deinem freien Willen eingreifen. So bitte fragt die Engel. Sie lieben es, wenn ihr mit ihnen redet.

 

 


A PRAYER FOR PROTECTION AND GUIDANCE

 

My dear Great Spirit,

I thank you for your Divine protection and guidance.

I thank you for your Divine protection and guidance.

I thank you for your Divine protection and guidance.

 

 

PRAYER FOR PROTECTION 

 

The Light of God surrounds me

The Love of God enfolds me

The Power of God protects me

The Presence of God watches over me

Wherever I am

God is

And All is well.

                                                                (by James Dillet Freeman)

By thy secret power of light!

Guard, guard, guard us!

And seal us safe forever

In thy diamond heart of light!

 

PRAYER TO ARCHANGEL MICHAEL

 

Archangel Michael - Protector Angel and the most appropriate of his angels and helpers.

I ask You now to surround me with a sphere of White Light

from the top of my head to the tips of my toes.

 

Fill that sphere of White Light with Protection, Love, Harmony and Healing.

Keep that sphere of White Light free from any negative energies.

 

Expand that sphere of White Light to the space that I am in, at all times.

May this White Light shine unconditional Love and Healing

to everyone around me.

 

May the most appropriate helpers from the Universe

Be with me in everything that I do today.

And all days to come.

Thank you.

PEACE   

The Gospel of St. John, 14, 27

 

Peace I leave with you, 

my peace I give unto you:

not as the world giveth, give I unto you.

Let not your heart be troubled,

neither let it be afraid.

          

FRIEDEN

Den Frieden lasse ich euch,

meinen Frieden gebe ich euch,

nicht einen Frieden, wie ihn die Welt gibt.

Euer Herz erschrecke nicht und fürchte sich nicht.

A CELTIC BLESSING

 

Deep peace of the running waves to you.

Deep peace of the flowing air to you.

Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.

Deep peace of the shining stars to you

.

AN OLD IRISH BLESSING

 

May soft be the grass you walk on,

May fair be the skies above you,

May true be the joys that surround you,

May dear be the hearts that love you.

 

A PUEBLO INDIAN PRAYER

 

Hold on to what is good,

Even if it is a handful of earth.

Hold on to what you believe,

Even if it is a tree that stands by itself.

Hold on to what you must do,

Even if it is a long way from here.

Hold on to your life,

Even if it is easier to let go.

Hold on to my hand

Even if I’ve gone away from you.

Please read the following Ho’oponopono books to find out more about this prayer:

Zero Limits by Joe Vitale

Ho’oponopono by Ulrich E. Dupree, a Findhorn book.

 

MORRNAH’S PRAYER

 

You can listen to Joe Vitale saying this prayer at: www.guitarmonks.com/morrnahsprayer/

Jo Vitale tells us in his book "At Zero" that this is a cleansing prayer, given to us by Morrnah.  He recommends us to say it out loud four times.  

It is also good for cleansing antique and second-hand furniture, jewellery, etc.

 

THE PROPHET DANIEL’S PRAYER

 

Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever;

Wisdom and power are his.

He changes the times and the seasons;

He removes kings and sets up kings.

He gives wisdom to the wise

And knowledge to the discerning.

He reveals deep and secret things;

He knows what lies in the darkness,

And the light dwells with him.

I thank you and praise you, O God of my fathers:

You have given me wisdom and power,

You have made known to me what we asked of you,

You have made known to us the dream of the king.

 

 

                     The Bible, Daniel, 2,20.

PSALM 23  THE GOOD SHEPHERD   A PSALM OF DAVID

 

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the

paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the 

shadow of death; I will fear no evil:

for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff

they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me

in the presence of mine enemies:

thou annointest my head with oil;

my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

all the days of my life;

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord

for ever.

 

 

THE WATER PRAYER

 

Look at your glass of water and before you drink it say:

Dear Spirit of the Water,

Please make me pure inside.

I drink you with gratitude and love.

 

 

If you are going to a doctor, dentist or hospital you may ask God and the angels to send good energy there, to bless the doctors, nurses, rooms, medical instruments, etc. and the patients.

 

If your boss or someone at work is cross with you, send them lots of love and good energy.  You will be amazed what a difference it makes!  The situation will change dramatically for the better!  Do this every day until the situation improves.

 

Know that it is possible for everyone to communicate with their Higher Self (their Divine Soul), with their Spirit Guide and their Guardian Angel.  Pray that you may manage it as soon as possible.  Continue to meditate and pray to be guided to the right spiritual books.
