Today, I present a straightforward prayer to keep throughout each day for times when the chaos around us disrupts our peace. This comes from the philosophy of Stoicism, specifically the writing of Marcus Aurelius (Meditations, 8.7).
With my hand upon my heart, I give thanks for wisdom.
Guide me to accept only what is true,
To act always for the common good,
To desire only what lies within my power,
To embrace all that life assigns to me with courage,
And to always walk in peace and harmony.
Amen.
