Spiritual Ups and Downs

Help me, God, to be strong and determined in serving You; never let me fall. “Do not
cast me away from Your Presence; do not take Your spirit of holiness away from me.”
Grant me the skill to engage in spiritual ascent — to attain the higher states of mystical
perception — and grant me the skill to return to the mundane and to serve You through
the simple tasks of everyday life. Help me to find You everywhere, for “if I rise up to
Heaven, You are there, and if I make my bed in the abyss, behold, You are there.” May I
always cleave to You, and in my relationship with You, let me experience the fulfillment
of the verse “I am my Beloved’s, and my Beloved is mine.”
