Grounded

You ground me. Too often my head becomes filled with grandiose, self serving thoughts based upon the presumptions of the ego that is when you ground me; ground me in Your love, in faith.  You bring me back to reality, reality in which You reside, in which live is based upon; absolute truth. You know my heart and bring be back from the egotistical thoughts which plague my mind and savagely rule my actions.  Made from love, I am love though there are times my actions promote not such love. Ground me, Father, that I may be walking love, that the temptations of humanity seep not into my being, that they change not my motivation for life.  In this world so much hurt, so much hate begins to warp that which the human mind deems reality and me with it.  Ground me, oh Lord, that I may look upon this world with love, that I may react to every situation with love and harden not my heart to the truths of your reality. May I love not in the shadows of truth as I work for justice, not justice of the courts, but justice illuminating the dignity of the spirit, the dignity of a connection greater than humanity, a connection which liberates every shackled being.  Ground me in patience that I may withstand the monumentally moronic choices I will make which will lead me in the opposite direction from you. I am not perfect, and so I must learn from my mistakes and not become quickly frustrated with such imperfections.  Help me, please, to let go of that which holds menacing from complete trust in You for, grounded in Your wisdom, I need not question my heart, I need only listen.  Born in Your love I a grounded in love, to love I must return for it is love which carries the weight of the inconsistencies and prejudices of this world. Though I am grounded, there are days that the drive of humanity is too strong and I feel as though I have fallen from Your graces, it is these days that You love even more, that You hold even tighter, that Your presence become even more apparent. I thank You for Your constant love, thank You for Your constant presence in my life and though you constantly remind me that I am worthy of such abundant protection and love, there are times I doubt my worthiness for my actions claim my humanity.  Ground me, Oh Lord, in understanding that I may claim my humanity, claim my struggles and move past my own ego for it is my ego which causes doubt, fear and anxiety.  With one felt swoop, you remove all three from my being leaving me with love, faith, peace, patience, understanding and wisdom that my judgment no longer be clouded for the heart free to speak and myself free to serve in love. Ground me, Father, ground me that I may grow ever closer to You, that I may reap the love that You have shown me, the love which carries no conditions. With Your help, I can reach beyond the grips of the ego, for the heart maintains the key to the shackles which attempt to hold me back, the shackles imprinted with the logo of pride.  Ground me, Oh Lord, that I may grow, that I may clearly see the steps necessary to walk the path of faith and maintain the course of wisdom. There is not a moment that You are not present in my life, thus there should never be a moment that I should not love, that I should not listen, that I should not react in faith and offer the power of hope that the ego may be silenced.  This is why I need to be grounded, Oh Lord, ground me and I will grow; ground me and I will blossom; ground me I will soar.  Your reality, my home, thank You for brining me home.
