May I become at all times, both now and forever
A protector for those without protection
A guide for those who have lost their way
A ship for those with oceans to cross
A bridge for those with rivers to cross
A sanctuary for those in danger
A lamp for those without light
A place of refuge for those who lack shelter
And a servant to all in need.(Buddhist/Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama)

That prayer is a fitting one for anyone of any faith! Thank you for finding it and sharing.
The Dalai Lama is certainly all of that, to me at least.
🙂
I think it’s a good blessing/prayer even if you are not the Dalai Lama … for thinking about what kind of person you are and about what kind of person you want to be.
I ma catching up, one blessing at a time as I work my way through pre-Christmas chores. I like to let it sit for a while and appreciate it before I do the next.
Sorry I sluffed off. I get less done than I should.
This one speaks to me. A good guide for life. A standard I wish I met better.
Thanks,
