Seeing Abundance Clearly

Today’s theme: Seeing abundance clearly. About 4 minutes.

Today’s prayer

Supreme Source of Life, I am grateful for the human ability to ask, discover, remember, and imagine. Wisdom is a kind of wealth that grows when shared. I ask for a mind that remains open, discerning, and humble no matter how much I learn.

Help me admit when I do not know. May I seek reliable knowledge rather than flattering answers, and listen to perspectives that reveal my blind spots. Teach me to learn from failure without being trapped by it, and from success without becoming arrogant.

Let understanding turn into better choices and greater compassion. May the knowledge I acquire become useful to my family, my community, and people I may never meet. Keep my curiosity alive as long as I have breath. So may it be.

The opening and closing are suggestions. Use your own words for the sacred, or none at all.

A two-minute pause

Sit comfortably and let your eyes rest on one ordinary thing near you. Breathe slowly and notice it as if for the first time. When your attention wanders, return to it without judgment.

If you like, add quiet background sound with Ambient sound at the top of the prayer.

Reflection

What did I learn that can help someone?

Today’s action

Notice one form of nonmaterial abundance.

Evening closing

Before sleep, name one form of abundance that no one could take from you.

So may it be.
