Claiming peace

I found this in The Fine Arts of Relaxation, Concentration, and Meditation by Joel and Michelle Levey:


Before me peaceful
Behind me peaceful
Under me peaceful
Over me peaceful
Around me peaceful

-- Traditional Navajo Prayer

  1. How like St. Patrick's
    Prayer:



    Christ beside me, Christ before me
    Christ behind me, Christ within me
    Christ beneath me, Christ above me
    Christ within me.


    God is all around us
