God I have many pains and traumas. Some of them are still within me. Some I remember, others I don’t. Please help me to be with my inner self, my inner child as we heal from these wounds. Help me accept was happened, help me feel the pain, instead of running away or numbing. Be with me as these wounds heal. Help me have patience, as this takes time. Help me know I am not alone.

We have all been injured. We have all injured others. Help me to love the parts of me that are hurting. Help me to forgive myself for the hurt I’ve caused myself and others. Help me understand and forgive those who have hurt me. I forgive everyone and everything. We are One.

Prayer of belief
We believe every religion holds Sacred truths, we seek to better Know them. We believe God is All and can be both personal and Pure Presence, for God is limitless and cannot be contained or defined.

We believe God is unconditionally Loving, cares about us and is closer to us than our own breath. We embrace and seek Surrender, humility, faith and love. We do this without seeking perfection or judgment of ourselves or others. We know there is no hierarchy on the journey, and every stage is needed and a gift. Thank you for all you are doing Now and Always. We are One.

Prayer for anger

God clear my channels in all realms and in all times. Fill these lines with light and cleanse any and all blockages. Help me release from resentment of others and of myself. Help me know humility. For I am not more or less important than anyone else. Help me see myself clearly, so I don’t so easily project my short comings on to others. Help me see myself as I am and to love myself, as you unconditionally love me, shortcomings and all. Help me know this is a process and I will do it imperfectly. Thank you for your help in this.

A prayer for everything else.
attributed to St. Francis Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace
Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith
Where there is despair, hope
Where there is darkness, light
And where there is sadness, joy

O Divine Master, grant that I may
Not so much seek to be consoled as to console
To be understood, as to understand
To be loved, as to love
For it is in giving that we receive
And it's in pardoning that we are pardoned
And it's in dying that we are born to Eternal Life
Amen
