Perhaps the first revelation I had when I began reading "The Four Agreements," by Don Miguel Ruiz which teaches us Toltec Wisdom is that 'Wisdom' is God and the teachings are based on the Word of God; illustrated for daily application. I appreciate that it is presented in a different package, for simple application.
While I am incorporating these agreements to improve myself and my relationships, I have implemented daily prayers to compliment the new agreements.
1. First Agreement - "Be impeccable with your word"- May I speak truth and show forth righteousness. Proverbs 12:17
2. Second Agreement - "Don't take things personally"- Help me Lord to resist offense and abound in the love of Christ. Phil 1:9-10
3. Third Agreement - "Don't make assumptions"- Help me Lord not judge myself or others, but seek truth, and follow peace. Show truth, mercy, and kindness to me and my family.
4. Fourth Agreement - "Do your best always" - May I stand strong in your grace, covered in your favor as a shield. For I am nothing apart from you and can do nothing without you, but can do all things in Christ who strengthens me.
