Divine Love and Inspiration
I thank you for all of the blessings you bestow upon me.

Grace me to accept I am human, and therefore, I sometimes hate and reject myself. Please help me to accept all that I deny within myself, so that I may learn to enjoy life including my habits, personality, weaknesses, and ignorance.
Divine Love and Inspiration
Grace me to hear and see the way my thoughts, words and actions are self-rejecting and hateful that I may bring love to them.
Divine Love and Inspiration
Grace me to forgive myself and others even when I still feel frustration, resentment, sorrow, irritation, fear and anger.
Divine Love and Inspiration
Grace me to love and respect myself including when I behave with arrogance, selfishness, jealousy, and self- loathing.

Grace me to love and respect myself including all of my mistakes, fears, worries, burdens and dissatisfactions.

Grace me so that I may learn not to fear darkness, to know that no darkness can contaminate or limit you.

Bless me that I may trust I am Your instrument whether I am filled with calm and peace or filled with anxiety and pain.

Grace me to accept all paradox beyond my understanding and to trust in your wisdom and love for me above all reason. I thank you for all the blessings that you bestow upon me. I now offer my silence so that I may be closer to you.

What a beautiful, soulful prayer. The words of self-acceptance and forgiveness were read with some difficulty and had a lot of energetic charge around them -- which tells me that they resonate with truth and must be spoken, even if they are not yet believed. They will soon take root in silence. Amen.
