The Warrior's Prayer

The Warrior’s Prayer by Stuart Wilde

I am what I am.
In having faith in the beauty within me, I develop trust.
In softness I have strength.
In silence I walk with the gods.
In peace I understand myself and the world.
In conflict I walk away.
In detachment I am free.
In respecting all living things, I respect myself.
In dedication I honour the courage within me.
In eternity I have compassion for the nature of all things.
In love I unconditionally accept the evolution of others.
In freedom I have power.
In my individuality, I express the God-Force within me.
In service I give of what I have become.
I am what I am:
Eternal, immortal, universal, and infinite.
And so be it.

This powerful prayer is taken from Stuart Wilde’s book entitled Affirmations: How to expand your personal power and take back control of your life.

I have used many prayers from renown spiritual teachers and self-help gurus from the Western world. And this one absolutely resonates with me. The reason I say it’s powerful is because the prayer is actually an affirmation to one’s self. You see we are a piece of God and we have the POWER within us. So God is not out there, in the sky or in Heaven. God is within each of us. We are made in the image of God. So when we pray, we are actually praying to our expanded selves, our Spirit/Higher Self who hold all the answers to our every need. And prayers should always be said from a point of power and not weakness or lack. There is no ‘poor me’ statements in this prayer. It’s a prayer that’s full of reminders of who we truly are. And knowing who we truly are, we proclaim to the Universe this is who we are and we seek to become more conscious of it.

And what I like about this prayer is it covers every aspect of our life. It reminds me of our Oneness with all creations on Earth. Remember that we all come from the same Source. Yes, even the dirt, the grass, the trees, the animals, the insects and all other life forms – ALL come from the same Source.

And so I share with you this most powerful prayer. I say this prayer every morning when I get out of bed and every night before I sleep. And I said it with feeling and from my heart. May you come to realise the spiritual be-ing that you are.
