Dear God, May all the tears I cry, and all the tears I have not cried but hold within, pour forth into Your hands. Please take each painful thought and unhealed wound, and send angels here to me. I long for peace. Amen.

You can't remove that layer of pain by just saying, Okay, I'm not going to wallow in it. The only way to remove that layer of pain is to face what it says and to recognize it as the look in the mirror that it is, reflecting the things you did that you wish you hadn't done and the things you didn't do that you wish you had done.

Marianne Williamson
My biggest sorrow, when looking back on my youth, is how much of it I somehow missed. Now, looking at my life today, I don't want to make the same mistake. I don't want to miss this. As Bonnie Raitt sang like she was singing it for all of us, Life gets mighty precious when there's less of it to waste.
Marianne Williamson
There are clearly times when quieting down and bringing our energy back into ourselves is a step toward inner peace. Yet the most powerful life is not one in which we bring ourselves back to our center when we have spun away from it, but rather one in which we seek to live from that center at all times.
Marianne Williamson
I believe we are shown the path that is right as soon as we ask for it. Then we must live in the world and in some way express what we have learned.
Marianne Williamson
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
Marianne Williamson
Whatever situation you're in: Send love, place it in God's hands, open your heart to everyone involved - and it will turn out miraculously.
Marianne Williamson
Problems come about when we try to direct the flow of the universe rather than allow it to reveal its own design. Inherent in that design is a love for all living things.

No one is any more or any less important than you are.
