Give
me the wisdom to know that life is a journey toward growth.
Help
me to use this gift to see the need for change in my life.
Give
me the courage to examine my failures and weaknesses. Help me turn my
weaknesses into strengths. Help me to
accept who I am, knowing that this is a major step toward healing.
Help
me to feel compassion for both myself, and others. Help me realize that
no
one is perfect and everyone has suffered at some time.
Past
suffering can cause dysfunctional behavior,
But recognizing past suffering and dysfunction
can cause one to grow.
Teach
me how to forgive. Let this forgiveness
start with myself and extend to others.
Help me understand that if I am stuck in unforgiveness, I am stuck in
the in both the past and the present. I
cannot grow unless I am free of both. Compassion brings forgiveness.
Show
me how to simplify my life so that other people’s negativity cannot influence
me. Help me allow positive thoughts and
feelings to be the center of my life.
Help
me make “peace” the center of my life.
The peaceful person sees the games that others are playing and chooses
not to play. Surround me in peace so
that I can help others.
