A Prayer for those in discernment:
May you find and join with a community that understands and supports your work, May you know and labor intimately alongside those who heal and organize for justice, May you allow yourself to be held in light and love as you work to deepen your connection to spirit, May you give yourself permission to show up as your full self to your justice work, May you make choices based not in fear or scarcity but trust and abundance. |
