A Prayer for Guidance by Aramantos

Runner-Up for October 2022

May the Light guide my hands,
that they bring justice swiftly.
May they never fail in their service.
May I take no pleasure in the death
of any foe who succumbs to my blade.
Methrenton, make me Your weapon.

May the Light guide my spirit,
that I stand for the innocent.
May I be always ready to trade my life
for all who cannot defend themselves
against those who wish them harm.
Shakiniel, make me Your shield.

May the Light guide my mind,
that I can recognize the truth.
May my words hold wisdom to lead
others out of the depths of despair
and into the embrace of the Light.
Japhiel, make me Your word.

May the Light guide my heart,
that I can embrace even my enemies.
Fill my soul with the compassion
that others may see and follow
willingly, being free from their bonds.
Raziela, make me Your love.

May the Light illuminate my footsteps
and lay my fate out before me,
that I may follow it all my days.
May my feet always know the right path
to bring others back home.
Elohora, make me Your guide.
