The Gumpus Prayer

Have Faith; be a Believer in God—and by extension, in country, in family; and beyond mere platitudes—for both the Old and New Testaments proclaim: THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.

Tribulations over time must yield to patience, which is Hope.

Praying for others, both friend and foe, and praying for ourselves, followed by righteous actions—this is agape love: Charity.

Dispose of evil by sharing the apprehending of its irrelevant pettiness, its cartoonish nature, that can never be true reality.

Speak out plainly and act righteously; with backbone, without anger, in support of these time-tested values.

Write, as I am writing, from your heart, your head, your soul,  mirroring body/mind/spirit—relaxing in the joy and good humor of Oneness.

Let the transcendent ideals of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty shine forth in the form-world as a reflection of Oneness with creation.

Even as you fail at demonstrating a perfection of noble being, of optimism and virtuous conduct, let in the Lord to abide there; let in the healing of tenacity, of humility and resilience that help failure to pass through you.

Fear not! Gain in gumption via strength-thru-adversity, oh warrior spirit! And in just defense, unsheathe, help wield His terrible swift sword! 

Prevail and move on, always; reincarnate, resurrect, ascend as you will, in free-will charged by grace.
