A Prayer to Awaken to the Goodness in the Heart of life

We can embrace each day as a new beginning aware of God’s presence within and all around.

“I came that you may have life, and have it abundantly.”

John 10:10


A Prayer by Bridget Mary Meehan, ARCWP


Holy Presence,

Breath of Life moving through all creation,

awaken us to the goodness

pulsing at the heart of life itself.


At the dawn of each day,

teach us to receive this moment

as a sacred beginning—

fresh with possibility,

brimming with grace.


Open our eyes to Your presence

dwelling within us,

stirring in our deepest longings,

and shimmering all around us

in earth, sky, and every living being.


When fear narrows our vision,

remind us that You desire fullness for us—

life unfolding in joy, compassion, and courage.

When weariness weighs us down,

restore our trust in the abundance You promise.


May we live awake

to the holy ground beneath our feet,

to the goodness beating in our own hearts,

and to the call to share this life generously

with all whom we meet.


Jesus, you assure us:

“I came that you may have life,

and have it abundantly.”

Root this promise deep within us,

that we may rise each day

to choose love,

to nurture hope,

and to celebrate the gift of being alive in You.


Amen.


— Bridget Mary Meehan, ARCWP
