Spiritual Forgiveness Prayer
Dear God, I am feeling some judgement of someone right now. The behaviour which upsets me this: it upsets me when she/he________.
I feel she/he is different from me.
I am thinking that I really need them to be different for my peace of mind or body. Or perhaps, I am thinking that I will just have to compromise here. That I have to adapt myself in a way that doesn't feel right to me. Dear God, I don't know how to be at peace here. I realise I don't need to know how; the humility you need is this moment when I realise that I can't do it on my own. I allow this feeling. I allow this thought. I allow You to love me complete with these thoughts and feelings. I stop. I pause. I remember that this world is not all there is. I remember that I am not a body, but a part of Your Infinite Love. Dear God, I create a space and I invite you to fill my mind. You ask: Would I rather be right about this and stuck in a difficult situation, or be happy in the certainty that you can work in my mind to bring me to a place of peace? Dear God, I would rather be happy. Please work in my mind. Please bring Your Peace to my heart. I am willing to see this person as a part of me. I send blessings to this person, in the knowledge that as I give, so I receive. Dear God, Help me. Give me a revelation of your Love. Give me a revelation of my Innocence. Give me an understanding that this person is not this body that does things in the world, but part of your unending Love. Show me the beauty You see in them. Allow me to understand that since you created them Innocent, and part of You, then that is what they still are. Give me an understanding that I am not this body that does things in the world, but part of your unending Love. Show me the beauty You see in me. Allow me to understand that since you created me Innocent, and part of You, then that is what I still am. Father, I replace my thought of judgement with a quiet trust. When I find myself feeling judgement or hopelessness, I remember that you are working in me to allow me to see this differently. Dear God, I place this in your hands. You are a big God. You are far bigger than this problem. Thank you. Amen. |
