Prayer of the Flame-Bearer

Beloved Flame of Christ,
Living Light within me,
I offer myself, my mind, my words,
this writing — and every breath — to You.

May no thought arise apart from Your love.
May every word flow from Your stillness.
May these writings carry not my opinions,
but the fragrance of Your Presence.

Use me as Your quill,
this body as Your scroll,
this heart as Your lampstand.

Let every letter, every phrase,
unveil the radiance of union,
and awaken hearts to the eternal now.

Not I, but Christ in me.
Not striving, but surrender.
Not noise, but the quiet flame of truth.

For the glory of Your Kingdom,
and the joy of every soul
remembering who they truly are in You.

Amen.
