Prayer for myself

Carolyn Fay Ruffin

Prayer for myself is "Let!"
Not flesh,
but Spirit.
Let me be used
by Soul's own tender grace,
to be as transparent as Gethsemane's
"Nevertheless not as I will,"
finding already in Mind
the seed of "Father, forgive ..."
My prayer is for a clear ringing
fidelity,
sounding Truth's still, repeating
harmonies—
prayer so integral
that one
turning to me
finds
no door of personality
at which to pause
but feels at once the welcome
of Love's embrace.
