Prayer of Free Will

O You who dwell in the heart of the will,

deeper than desire

quieter than thought,

come closer.

Release me

out of the haste of habits,

from the pressure of the old forces,

who call themselves Will

and yet they are only repetition.

Free my actions

of fear and desire,

from the compulsion to choose

without knowing it.

Let me recognize

the place inside me

where your will

and mine

do not contradict each other.

Teach me

not to fight against the course of things,

but to wake up

for its meaning.

Make my will clear,

transparent to your light,

firm without hardness

free without separation.

I do not want to act out of separation,

I still want to lose myself in the current.

I want to agree

without giving up on myself.

Let my yes

to come from the soul,

not out of habit

not out of coercion.

Thus my will will

a silent tool of your truth,

and my freedom

conscious participation

at the work of the Eternal.
