"Healing is a new style of life that we continue to work on everyday"
Dear God,
Indeed, how often do I get discouraged, and feel lacking in energy, because everyday there is a struggle against the same things. And even after long periods of time, and change, it is still possible to revert to old habits, old thinking patterns, old ways. I forget that it's a long process, little by little, and step by step, and brick by brick, each day. That each day and what we do in each matters for tomorrow, matters for what we did the day before. Help me to remember this. To remember that each day I can lay another brick. I can take another step. Help me to train myself in speaking the truth, in expressing and admitting my feelings, and in allowing myself to have good relationships based on love. Help me not to lose hope when I go back to older things. Help me to keep trying.
Sometimes I can't see your love. I can't understand it. I won't accept it. Help me to change. Help me to allow myself to meet you along the way. Meet me along the way. Help me when I run out of energy and strength. Show me how to live in such a way that I can carry on, and continue everyday. Help me because I deceive myself a lot. Help me to see things the way you do, as a part of a historical context. Without masks. Without lies. Without unnecessary complexities. Without naive simplicity. Help me because I'm too dependent on other people. I want to change that. I want to be like you. Like Aslan. Not controlling, able to stand alone, yet loving and needing others, and involving others. Full of life and purpose. Full of strength and beauty.
Amen
