Lord, protect our doubts, because Doubt is a way of praying. It is Doubt that makes us grow because it forces us to look fearlessly at the many answers that exist to one question. And in order for this to be possible…
Lord, protect our decisions, because making Decisions is a way of praying. Give us the courage, after our doubts, to be able to choose between one road and another. May our YES always be a YES, and NO always be a NO. Once we have chosen our road, may we never look back nor allow our soul to be eaten away by remorse. And in order for this to be possible…
Lord, protect our actions, because Action is way of praying. May our daily bread be the result of the very best that we carry within us. May we, through work and Action, share a little of the love we receive. And in order for this to be possible…
Lord, protect our dreams, because to Dream is a way of praying. Make sure that, regardless of our age or our circumstances, we are capable of keeping alight in our heart the sacred flame of hope and perseverance. And in order for this to be possible…
Lord, give us enthusiasm, because Enthusiasm is way of praying. It is what binds us to the Heavens and to Earth, to grown-ups, and to children; it is what tells us that our desires are important and deserve our best efforts. It is Enthusiasm that reaffirms to us that everything is possible, as long as we are totally committed to what we are doing. And in order for this to be possible…
Lord, protect us, because Life is the only way we have of making manifest Your miracle. May the earth continue to transform seeds into wheat, may we continue to transmute wheat into bread. And this is only possible if we have Love; therefore, do not leave us in solitude. Always give us Your company, and the company of men and women who have doubts, who act and dream and feel enthusiasm, and who live each day as if it were totally dedicated to Your glory.
Amen.

Oftentimes,I can’t find the right words to talk to God.. I am not able to truly express what I feel although I know God knows what I truly feel in my heart.. Your prayer is a good example for me to follow. I might find words now to express my love for God.. Thank You Mr. Cuelho!
my name is ahmed rajb from the Land of River Nile-Sudan-Africa well tested by war epics and natural disasters;this one page is truly a global spritual cable to God .a human network of well being,a lesson of how to live wherever you are however doing.!!!
so true!
beautiful words :o)
Gracias doy al Padre por un Amigo como tu tan lleno de sabiduria y poecia, gracias por compartir con nosotros en todas tus paginas y en las inspiraciones de tus libros.
L.A.Q.
May God listen you and us.
May God bless you and all the world.
gracias por decir lo que todos tenemos por dentro pero a lo mejor no sabemos explicar :)
tal vez una oraciòn tan simple como esta, hecha de realidad, vale màs que miles de otras palabras sagradas..
Yo’re a great man!!! It’s very nice to see you and read here. Best regards from Poland! Monika.
all of us must go through “Like the flowing river” by Paulo Coelho”. In this book paulo has reflected many beautiful events anomalously.I have learnt that usually same events are happening over and over again, difference is in our response to these events.great work by Paulo:)
So typical American… A Prayer. Well…
a prayer is the last Frontier. When one has tried EVERYTHING and, … it did’nt work.
Today, THERE ARE things we can do, BEFORE praying.
WE, .. are here, … are YOU?
Σὺν Ἀθηνᾷ καὶ χεῖρα κίνει
Sỳn Athēnâi kaì kheîra kinei.
“Along with Athena, move also your hand” — cf. the English “God helps those who help themselves.”

Thank you for sharing this beautiful prayer to us. You, yourself is a manifested prayer to us. This world is simply better because of people like you. I hate how people the world over pretend and hurt others with their lies. But your words always has the power to make us see things a different light. You were meant to be part of our generation, to be part of our lives. I look forward to shaking your hand one day, Paulo. Until then, God bless you.
Amen….

Thank you for one of the most beautiful and intelligent prayers read.
With love and respect,
Anca
Very beautiful… May I copy this into my facebook note? Thanks
Yes, you can.
beautiful. And yet…I struggle more and more with this given name “Lord”. I don’t think of God as of some kind of Lord. This is quite ancient- and stupid. God could very well be a woman. Or part woman. Or anything, filled with LOVE. So, “Lord” souns almost as an antonyme to it..
Well sister, to you may be misstress, to many other, Father. Mother, or even Loving Guiding Father- Mother in wich heart resides the Soul of a Child from the Love of infinity and eternity…
As long as understood in love, God has all the names you can think of and know of…
Much love and respect from the Universe…
Your prayer touched my heart, thank you.
AMAZING PRAYER!!! THX
Very beautiful! It gently touched my soul…
amen…
god is allways with us, every minute, every moment…
Señor, protege nuestros sueños, porque soñar es una manera de rezar. Make sure that, regardless of our age or our circumstances, we are capable of keeping alight in our heart the sacred flame of hope and perseverance. Asegúrese de que, independientemente de nuestra edad o nuestras circunstancias, somos capaces de mantener encendida en nuestro corazón la llama sagrada de la esperanza y la perseverancia. And in order for this to be possible… Y para que esto sea
Todas son ciertas y hermosas..Pero nunca dejemos de soñar..y de ir por nuestros sueños..Tenemos que abrir las alas de nuestra Alma..que para mi ..las alas de mi alma son mariposas..Que pueden transmutar..y volar..
Fantastic!
very inspirational post :) thank you for sharing here…
Beautifull!!!!
Thank you for continually inspiring so many people, including me,with such beautiful words.
God bless you always!
amen
