Living as the Bodhisattva

Click here to listen to today’s Daily Power Prayer for Living as the Bodhisattva!:

Every day I pray to be more loving, more peaceful, to walk AS the Christ Consciousness. Every day I pray to be a place of healing in my own life and everyone I meet and touch. To my great joy my answered prayer unfolds before me each day. I have come to recognize that the folks on my path who challenge me with their pain and suffering by acting with judgment instead of kindness, jealousy instead of joy, fear instead of faith, they are the ones who give me the opportunity to strengthen my practice. They are my sacred and holy friends who hold the mirror before me and invite me to show my true self.

I am so grateful that I see the Divine Law at work in my life and recognize the gift of my sacred friends. I am not yet at a place where I can always be nonreactive. I am not always 100% loving in my heart at the start.

I do not expect my practice to be perfect. I do not judge myself. I forgive myself, and my practice deepens. My aspiration is that my awareness is ever increasing, heart always expanding. Today I choose higher than yesterday, not that I live without falling. Some moments I can walk as the Bodhisattva. Some moments I am the Bodhisattva in training. Sometimes I feel the slap of my face hitting the ground as I lose my way. This walk is not easy, but I choose it because love is the only direction I intend to go in.

I choose Love and Love chooses me.
