I recently found this prayer in a book of Celtic spiritual writings, and I was really inspired. It's a great reminder of God's continued presence and sustenance in all of creation's wonder. It's also a challenge to entrust the care of my soul in the hands of that same God.
O Son of God, perform a miracle for me: change my heart. You whose crimson blood redeems mankind, whiten my heart.
It is you who makes the sun bright and the ice sparkle; you who makes the rivers flow and the salmon leap.
Your skilled hand makes the nut tree blossom, and the corn turn golden; your Spirit composes the songs of the birds and the buzz of the bees.
Your creation is a million wondrous miracles, beautiful to behold. I ask of you just one more miracle: beautify my soul.
(from Robert Van de Weyer, ed., "Celtic Fire.")
