AND ALL IS WELL

We say these words at the end

Of a prayer that is so familiar to us

But I wonder, still, if we truly believe

The impact those four words have

Do we dare to believe that in God

All is truly well and in divine order

Or do we still fear and doubt and question

The very truth of our being

For we are divine, created by the divine

Meant for all good and all love

All wholeness and all prosperity

All wisdom and grace

We must truly be aware of these four words

As we speak them each and every time

Of the huge impact they have on our experiences

And on every aspect of our lives

All is well because we know who we really are

All is well because God only wants the best for us

All is well despite outward conditions

Because these conditions are not the Truth

They mock us, these fears, these doubts

As we refuse to release them

But we put them to rest and remain assured

That we really are who we claim to be

Divine children of God who inherit

The kingdom and all its glories

Beauty, love, laughter, freedom

Wholeness, prosperity and wisdom

All these gifts are ours for the taking

Ours for the fulfillment of our soul

Ours for the commitment to our own divinity

Ours to buoy us up in times of doubt

This too shall pass, it is wisely said

And this is also a Truth for

Nothing comes to stay, nothing threatens our peace

If we but hold to the truth of our being
