Supportive material for the Danger of Religious Prayer vs Spiritual Prayer article.
Example of inclusive spiritual prayer rather than exclusive religious prayer
Heart of the Universe, you have given us the gift of story in our lives, ways of understanding who we are, ways of making sense of our world, of finding meaning and knowing how to respond to all that happens in our lives. May we come to know where our stories fall short or are too narrow, where they exclude rather than include, where they divide rather than unite. May we recognize the ways that our energy touches all that is, the ways our habits and words affect all the whole of which we are a part, and all the parts that make us whole. May we learn to live with our eyes wide open to the awe and wonder that surrounds us. Amen
