Peace Within

Shared by Marty O’Donnell … Saint Theresa's Prayer:

“May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.

May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.”

Simply put, a prayer of peace and calm and faith, driven by the way we choose to allow His presence into our lives. We have that choice, the one that can bring greater peace to our existence. That choice is inside of us and part of our faith journey, but we may too often choose drama over calm, uproar over peace.

The prayer reminds us that love is what we’ve received and love is what we can build into a peaceful life. We are in fact children of God, we know that … now the task is to show Him in our personal experience of life, through the love that is there for the taking and the showing.
