Our dear friend Gideon Tsang returns to contribute to our fall series on rediscovering an enchanted faith. Gideon invites us to contemplate our spiritual practices, and how they can help to guide us from anxiety and the internal voice of critique toward gentleness and peace.

Philippians 4: 4-6
“Welcome” Prayer
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
I welcome everything that comes to me today, because I know it's for my healing.
I welcome all thoughts, feelings, emotions, persons, situations, and conditions.
I let go of my desire
for power and control.
I let go of my desire for affection, esteem, approval, and pleasure.
I let go of my desire for survival and security.
I let go of my desire to change any situation, condition, person or myself.
I open myself to the love and
healing of the Divine Mystery
and to God’s peace within.
Amen.
