A PRAYER

Dear Friends

Often when we are down and out, it's the magic

of prayer that works. Prayer is not just words,

it's the scream of an anguished heart, it is

a way of connecting with our deeper self,

it is a way of connecting with the cosmic self, too.

Here, you'll find a prayer, not specific to any religion.

This was given to me by a Reiki Master.

Do try it out, if you like. Who knows,

it just might work for you as well.

Believe me, it has always worked for me.

Good luck and God Bless.
