Some of our more popular posts here at The warm Milk Journal are the prayers and meditations. Recently, I have received requests for more prayers. This site is not a “religious” site. Although I was raised Jewish, my spiritual beliefs are a bit more eclectic these days. I do believe there are many different paths to peace, love, and connection with the Divine and each other.

No matter your faith or religious background, prayer and meditation can play an important role in living a balanced life and sleeping more restfully at night (the mission of The warm Milk Journal). With that goal in mind, I will publish these spiritually oriented posts on a regular basis. Please know they are only to inspire and nurture you. They are not intended to promote a particular faith or religion.

Gentle Nudging…. a prayer for this morning.

Dear God,

Please nudge me gently today.

I need some loving guidance to:

Be easy on myself-

Do what I can with this day but then

give myself permission to let the rest go by evening.

Please send love to our community leaders

and educators

and the children-

We need love and support more than ever right now.

Please help to see that I Am more than what I do during my work day,

that life is precious just as it is-

no matter what circumstances are actually occuring.

I thank you in advance.

Amen.
