I pray that I no longer seek for the other one for I have found completion in me. And if in my solitary journey, I happen to join with another soul, let our hearts merge because we have so much love to give... And if we find ourselves taking, let our receiving be based on what we have truly earned for those are the rewards that last. Let me realize that my relationship consistently shows me dimensions of myself and in discovering more of me I will automatically see the beauty in another's soul. Let our expressions bring us much freedom for only in the unbinding do we find that our souls are bound. Let my love stem not from love but from like that I may forever not expect, and instead truly accept, my co-traveler's humanness and divinity.

Let me be given the strength, the perseverance, and the tenacity of spirit to always hold the highest thoughts and ideas about the love that I have in my life for I know that the love I conceive will be the love I will perceive. Let me be forever be aware of the sacred presence within so that I may be assured through the windows of my soul that I will always see the sacredness of the other soul... for everything begins with me. Let me truly realize from the depths of my being that when I love another I have loved the god within me and together we experience the ecstasy of one everlasting cosmic love and then we can truly say we have truly loved our God!

Prayer works best on your mind and body when it's cumulative. Daily prayer is a good idea, even if you think you have nothing to pray about. Pray for others as well as for yourself. This is not simply an admonition not to be selfish; rather, the force of your actions is too powerful to be directed inside only. By including those you care about in your prayers, you are solidifying the bonds between you.Try not to think consciously; rather, as in meditation, let the feelings flow inside you. You may find your prayer moving in a very different direction from the one you thought you'd take at the beginning of your practice. Over time, change the organization and location of your prayer. You don't need a church, a synagogue, or shrine; your kitchen or the backyard will do just fine.
