I pray that you and I realise that although it may appear life had treated us unfairly, life has things in store for us we cannot see. Though we may feel as though the best of our life has ended, this is not a truth. Every life has seasons, and though we might be in Winter right now, we must realise that our Spring is on the way.
I pray that you and I fully understand that anger is like swallowing poison ourselves and waiting for our enemy to die. We only hurt ourselves, and we have hurt enough right now. lets agree together right now not to let anger taint our thoughts and lives and future, because we deserve more than that. We deserve to be happy, and expressing anger is never over: we must decide for it to end. It wont end by itself. Anger is a pointless emotion that corrodes our ability to feel joy, forgive, or move on. hanging onto anger is something we do out of fear because it means hanging onto HOPE. in our fears, we desperately fear that by giving up anger, we GIVE UP HOPE. Let us realise this is absolutely not true.
I pray for you and I, that we fully understand that people are all precious beings and souls and we all make mistakes, sometimes terrible ones. We have within us the capacity to forgive ANYTHING we chose to, and to get over ANYTHING we choose to; we are that powerful. We must always remember: OUR BRAIN IS NOT IN CHARGE OF US, WE ARE IN CHARGE OF IT. we must always remember: A FEELING CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT A THOUGHT. BANISH THE THOUGHT, AND THE FEELING MUST GO. let us now agree to refuse to entertain thoughts that bring us pain. To get rid of the feeling we must refuse to let the thought make a home in our mind. We ARE that strong. Our feelings are in our control.
I pray that you and I, both understand fully that our life is worth living, even if we lost. We still have our children, our parents, and our family, to live with and for. We must not consider our indentity to be entirely tied up in our marriage. it isnt. Its only one aspect of who we ARE, and theres a lot yet to discover about us, when we feel better. and we WILL feel better.
I pray that you and I fully grasp that "failure" is not a failed relationship. We did the best that we could, at the time, with the knowledge that we had. if we had known better, we may have done differently. But we didnt, therefore it is pointless to not forgive ourselves for things we didnt know. We now know new things, and thats something to be proud of. We learnt new things. It might feel pointless right now, but we can be proud we learnt, no matter how the lesson came.
I pray for you and I we find the humility to accept everything that happens to us knowing we still live, and still have our health, and still our children and our lives; therefore we have many chances at happiness in many areas. Let us release the idea of winning, the idea of drama, and accept what others do to us knowing that what they do can never change who WE ARE.
I pray that whenever we get a bit weak or tired and forgetful, and fall back into old mistakes, ways and anger, we once again re-read these prayers (or similar) and forgive ourselves and start again afresh, without self blame but only with gratefulness that we are truly smart enough to know whats good for us.. and whats good for us is to LOVE OURSELVES.
peace and blessings xoxoxoxo
When you're down to nothing, God is up to something.
