Set aside 15 minutes <strong>every day<\/strong> to be still and feel the love of the angels. Start and end your day with a few minutes of quiet contemplation and prayer.<\/p>\n<h3>May favorite prayers<\/h3>\n<p>I used these prayers everyday for a long time and it made such a difference. I have been meditating daily for a long, long time.<\/p>\n<p>You can begin by slowly reading these prayers, feel the words and embody them as you mover through your day. As I spoke these prayers I imagined standing in the presence of angels, loved, embraced and guided. It doesn\u2019t take long but when you do it <strong>daily<\/strong> it changes everything.<\/p>\n<h5>Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi<\/h5>\n<blockquote><p>Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.<br \/>\nWhere there is hatred, let me sow love;<br \/>\nwhere there is injury,pardon;<br \/>\nwhere there is doubt, faith;<br \/>\nwhere there is despair, hope;<br \/>\nwhere there is darkness, light;<br \/>\nand where there is sadness, joy.<br \/>\nO Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek<br \/>\nto be consoled as to console;<br \/>\nto be understood as to understand;<br \/>\nto be loved as to love.<br \/>\nFor it is in giving that we receive;<br \/>\nit is in pardoning that we are pardoned;<br \/>\nand it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Third Step Prayer<\/h3>\n<p>God, I offer myself to Thee&#8211;to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life.<\/p>\n<p>May I do Thy will always!<\/p>\n<p>Say these prayers or find your own, feel them and allow the love of the angels to embrace, love and guide you. They are always there, we move away from them they don&#8217;t ever move away from us.<\/p>\n<p>Is fifteen minutes a day to much to allow magic into our lives?<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"..\/2011\/06\/welcoming-the-angels-into-your-home.html\" target=\"_blank\">Calling the angels into your home<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more Fearless Fridays:<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/angelsonyourshoulder\/2009\/07\/fearless-fridays-9.html\">5 Ways Fear Can Improve Your Life<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/angelsonyourshoulder\/2009\/07\/fearless-fridays-5.html\">7 Ways to Overcome Fear<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/angelsonyourshoulder\/2009\/07\/fearless-fridays-7.html\">Inspirational Quotes on Fear<\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/angelsonyourshoulder?s=fearless+friday\" target=\"_blank\">View all Fearless Fridays posts<\/a><\/p>\n<p>With love and aloha,<br \/>\n<em><a href=\"http:\/\/susangregg.com\/\">Susan<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Angels are everywhere just open your mind and your heart to the signs.<\/p>\n<p>Make <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/angelsonyourshoulder\/\">Angels on Your Shoulder<\/a> part of your daily routine and share it with a friend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the arms of the angels When we allow ourselves to be embraced by the love of the angels there is no need for fear.
