I draw to myself today
Strength of heaven,
Glory of sun,
Brightness of moon,
Radiance of fire,
Swiftness of lightning,
Speed of wind,
Depth of sea,
Stability of earth,
Firmness of rock ...

I draw to myself today
The guiding power of God:
God's might to uplift me,
God's wisdom to lead me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to listen for me...
