I Am But One

Dear Mother, Father, God, Great Spirit, Our Creator,
I allow You to bless the world through me.
Dear all knowing, all powerful Universe,
I allow You to bless the world through me.
Dear angels, guides and ancestors,
I allow You to bless the world through me.
For this has always been Your plan.
I may be but one solitary vessel,
but that does not mean
I don't have an integral part to play.
Dear Mother, Father, God,
I surrender to Our plan.
I acknowledge myself to be a collaborator with You.

Dear God, I understand now
that I have carried the burdens of the world
so that I could one day unburden the burdened world.
Dear God, I understand now
that I have been led to feel imprisoned by the world
so that I could help free the world from its illusory prisons.
Dear God, I understand now
that I have carried these deep wounds
so that I can apply what I have learned from them in aiding others.
Dear God, I understand now
that I have had to feel my way through the darkness
in order be able to acknowledge the light within and set it free.
For this had been Our plan all along, God.

I may be but one solitary vessel,
but that does not diminish my significance.
I may be but one solitary vessel,
but that does not mean I am expendable.
I may be but one solitary vessel,
but that does not diminish my importance.

After believing my smallness
made me unneeded and unwanted,
unseen and unheard,
I now know that I am to give a voice to the voiceless
and to teach those who feel disempowered
to own their power.
