Wrapping My Fears In Wonder: EveryDay Prayers to Help You Find, Feel, and Be Calm, Resilient, and Healthy of Mind, Body, and Spirit

It’s 3 a.m.  You’re awake.  Again.

◆ Maybe it’s because fear and anxiety overwhelm you, or

◆ Maybe you’re troubled by confusion and dismay over how you reacted during your day to everyday moments or

◆ Maybe you just don’t know.

Feelings gnaw at us, but we’re not able to identify or articulate them. Then, they haunt us, especially when we find ourself saying and doing things in our day that just don’t fit with what we want to say or do.

We rarely have the words to sort out these feelings much less empower them to lead us to a higher road of understanding and appreciation. We’re more likely to ignore them, giving them even more power over us.

And we’re even less likely to see the beauty in these feelings or in their lessons.

Paula Gardner has drawn from your heart and mine the words to express those feelings and "wrap these fears in wonder" by putting them in the form of prayer poems that acknowledge and then retool the fears to let us see their underbelly of beauty...and wonder.

Whatever Higher Power you pray to, or whatever Universal worship you might enjoy, these prayers will bring you a sense of peace and wonder that comes from reframing your fear and seeing it through the lens of the gift that you receive each time you choose to read one of these beautiful prayers.

You’ll find yourself in love rather than in despair. In fact, you’ll find enough here to last you a lifetime, for your insights will grow and expand with each reading and lead you to an ever-deepening appreciation of your heart, your mind, and your spirit, helping you feel at greater ease in your life.

Let these prayers lift you heavenward, for that is their purpose. Let Paula’s words draw you into your heart of hearts and help you find release and relief, laughter and love. Amen.
