Knots of Prayer

In coping with the changes, and sometimes lack of changes that are happening in my life right now I have a favorite poem to remember what matters. I have not been able to find who wrote it but it offers me reflection and a reminder of the God that supports me right now in my healing.


Knots of Prayer

Dear God;

Please untie the nots that are in my mind, my heart and my life.
Remove the have nots, the can nots and the do nots that I have in my mind.

Erase the will nots, may nots, and might nots that may find a home in my heart.
Release me from the could nots, would nots and should nots that obstruct my life.

And most of all, Dear God,

I ask that you remove from my mind, my heart and my life all the "am nots" that I have allowed to hold me back, especially the thought that I am not good enough.

Please, ask that You replace the "am nots" with:

I am strong.
I am valuable.
I am lovable.
I am good enough, because "I Am".

Amen.
