Deepermind Prayer

Oh God, move me

and set me down in my soul.

Help me step away from

the outer world.

Help me be humble and

be uplifted towards you.

Help me let my emotions

be felt and released.

Calm and settle my mind

and focus on your perfections.

Let me open up to you

and dedicate this day to you.

Sitting in my soul,

I can see with great prospective.

Guide and teach me

Oh my God

Let me find Christian love,

Buddhist meditation,

Hindu chants

Sikh prayers

I am in your guidance

and grace.

The Short Prayer

Oh God, I give up.

You are my standard,
my reference,
my eternal love.

Lift me to the highest consciousness.

In low times, let me see my life from across the river—
to observe without being swallowed by melodrama.

Oh God, give me purpose.

Oh God, let me feel Your presence.

If I am confused, I turn to You.
If I am hurt, I turn to You.

And center on the light within.

Help me remain optimistic,
to lose myself in work and purpose,
but always think of You.

With every slow breath,
I am in Your presence—
alive, loved, and guided.

The Full Prayer

Oh God, I give up.
I love You in the most respectful, pure, and simple way.
You give me pure love, simple love I can feel, spiritual love that lifts me.

Beneath all things, everything rests on Your love for me, and my love for You.
You are my standard, my reference, my eternal love.

Help me remember this when life distracts me.

If I wander, let me hear Your voice and return.
Keep me from going astray.
Lift me to the highest consciousness.

In low times, let me see my life from across the river.
Help me observe without being swallowed by melodrama.

The world has long been haunted by ancient fears of imagined spirits.

But in You—pure, real, and present in my heart—I find clarity.
Without You, I do not know which way to turn, what is good, what is false.
Keep me close, dear God, and fill me with joy.

Oh God, speak with me so I may be guided.
Now and forever, I am guided.
Oh God, help me feel unity, to know who I am.

Now and forever, I know who I am.
Oh God, give me purpose.
Now and forever, I live with purpose.

Oh God, let me feel Your presence.
Now and forever, I feel Your presence.
If confusion comes, I turn to You.

If someone hurts me, I turn to You.

Oh God, help me remain optimistic.
Let me lose myself in good work and purpose,
yet never lose sight of You.

Oh God, defend me against inner darkness

And instead center my life on inner light.

The world is filled with needless negativity.
News traps us in low consciousness.
But life is always a challenge,
and our task is to raise it into higher consciousness.

When things turn negative, let me act.
If I cannot solve the whole problem,
guide me to do what I can.

If we avoid solving problems, we sink into despair.
Solving problems is normal and healing.
If lonely, help me reach out.

If restless, remind me to serve.

Yet the deeper solution is always spiritual work—
which makes us joyous both psychologically and spiritually.

In the outer world, all life follows the perfect laws of nature.
We cannot change these laws.
Life has finite spans: the young replace the old.

But if we care for ourselves, we live longer and healthier.

Let me turn addictions into preferences.
If candy tempts me, remind me that fruit is better.

Each day I will transform demands into preferences, now and forever.

Each day I will be impeccable with my words, now and forever.
If words fail, I will choose new words that heal.

If I always do my best, my life becomes the best.

Each day I will go deeper and learn new things.
I will remember that the lower mind does not see the whole picture,
and its voice can be misleading or even silly.

I will resist earthly pleasures, but not deny them.
For it is healthy to honor the body wisely.

My mind is divided into many departments,
but above all I have a true source—
that weighs the chatter of the mind
against the wisdom of God.

Through meditation, I can turn the mind off.
This is a gift, useful even in sleep.

I am extraordinary in seeing through dogma, materialism, and media illusions.

If something breaks, I can fix it.
I am educated,
I am able to see people in depth.

I understand metaphysics.

I am mindful always, now and forever.

I learn from the past and prepare for the future,
but do not cling to those I miss,
nor fear what is to come.

I am gentle with self-criticism.
I converse with You, God, about self-improvement.
I must remember that loving You is the greatest thing I do.

I can feel Your presence.
I can enter the state of grace.
I feel Your love intensely.

When I glimpse Your eyes, I am overwhelmed with joy.
That joy flows through my head, neck, chest, stomach, thighs, legs, feet, toes, arms, hands, and fingers.

I take five slow breaths.

I relax into perfect joy.
I am in Your presence.
I speak with You.

If it is late, I can turn off my thoughts.
If it is day, I know my goals.
In both, I feel profoundly loved, alive, and purposeful.

When annoying thoughts arise,
I see them as blue mist.
They spin, weaken, and fade away.

And I return to focus—
whether to sleep, to work, or to worship You.
