Contemplative Practices/Intentions and Prayers

An Intention/Prayer for the Hopeless

shellypruittjohnson

You can use this as a prayer, or if you do not believe in God, you can turn it into an intention:

For the hopeless,
May they be held in vast and loving arms,
May they know all feelings are permitted,
That Love is not taken back by anything,
That they do not have to manufacture joy,
That they can rest.

My name is Shelly Johnson, and I am a writer and philosopher with a Ph.D. in philosophy. I write about four basic truths which help us develop confidence and resilience. These truths are that we are worthy, capable, connected, and called to adventure.
