My principal teacher John Gilbert had a set of daily devotions he prayed every morning. Since more people are becoming interested in the spiritual and occult teachings he passed onto me, I’ve decided to make more of his material available. These devotions were posted on one of his websites, long since defunct, and I saved a copy.
Daily Devotions:
Prayer of Salutation
Good Morning Father-Mother-Creator God.
Good morning Sun. Good morning Moon. Good morning Stars. Good morning Planets.
Good morning Father Sky. Good morning Mother Earth.
Good morning Elementals, Nature Spirits, Angels and Archangels;
Minerals, Plants, Animals and Humans everywhere.
May God bless you and keep you, sanctify you and soften your Karma.
Amen.
Prayer of St. Francis (Translated by Rhodonn Starrus)
Dear Holy Father-Mother-Creator God, make me an instrument of thy Peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow your Love.
Where there is injury your Pardon Lord.
Where there is doubt, true faith in Thee.
Where there is despair, let me bring Your Hope.
Where there is darkness, only Light.
Where there is sadness, ever joy.
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love with all my soul.
For it is in giving that we receive,
In pardoning that we are pardoned,
And in dying that we are born again to eternal life.
Amen.
Prayer of Invitation
Dear Holy Father-Mother-Creator God,
I invite Your Spirit to help me renounce the fruits of all my labors.
I invite your Spirit to help me do what needs to be done without procrastination and with grace, poise, ease and serenity.
I invite Your Spirit to speak through me.
I invite Your Spirit to help me establish and maintain the Bridge of Love
and practice the Art of Loving with unconditional love for the benefit of all sentient life.
I invite Your Spirit to help me practice Harmlessness in thought, intent, feeling, word and deed in
all my affairs.
I invite Your Spirit to help me follow my Inner Voice.
I invite Your Spirit to show me how I may serve You today.
Amen
Prayer of Clearing and Cleansing
Dear Holy Father-Mother-Creator God, clear and cleanse me with Thy Divine Light. Remove all negativity within and around me and transmute it into peace, love, joy and happiness. Improve the operation of all my organs. Restore my immune system to the perfection it was conceived to be. Turn this body into the body of an adept, and place me within a capsule of Thy White Christ Light of Protection. For all these blessings, I give thanks.
Amen.
Statement of Faith
Dear Holy Father-Mother-Creator God, I place my Faith in the Christ Mind within,
Knowing that it is even now manifesting Itself as my abundance in all things.
It moves easily through my Faith to manifest as everything I need and want.
I see my desires being fulfilled quietly and in peace.
Amen.
Prayer of Petition
Dear Holy Father-Mother-Creator God help me today in thought, intention, feeling, word and deed
To be compassionate with myself and all others;
To be truthful with myself and all others;
To be charitable with myself and all others;
To be non-possessive; and
Take control of my life.
Amen.
Second Prayer of Petition
Dear Holy Father-Mother-Creator God make me sensitive to the needs of others.
Whatsoever I am today, help me to be gentle and loving.
Whatsoever I think today, help me to think it gently and with love.
Whatsoever I feel today, help me to feel it gently and with love.
Whatsoever I speak today, help me to speak it gently and with love.
Whatsoever I do today, help me to do it gently and with love.
Fill me with Your Gentleness and Your Love.
Amen.
Prayer of Intercession
Dear Holy Father-Mother-Creator God, You know better than I what the world needs.
It is for this, and this alone, I meditate.
I beseech you to bring it into their lives surely, swiftly and most harmoniously.
