Day One: A Prayer for Brighid

September 22, 2018

Earlier, I was praying to Brighid, and asking for her to watch over me and guide me the right way as I sense major life changes approaching. Words began to enter my mind; words that, at first, I thought I was just saying to her. Then I thought, "I need to write this down."

I believe that she answered my prayer within my prayer. What a wondrous moment, and yet so very much like Brighid, the master wordsmith that she is.

I humble myself before you, Brighid.

Please,
help me to help myself do my best;
help me to help myself succeed;
help me to not get in my own way;
help me to recognize the balance between caring for myself and overwork.

Help me to find inspiration,
so that I may do your work truly to the best of my capability;
that I may serve you with love for you and for others,
that I may bring your presence to this world, so in need of your guidance and compassion. 

I humble myself before you, 
flame that lights the world and the way,
and ask for your blessings. 

I believe.
Amen.

Today is Day One.
