“Prayer to Forgive Yourself:
Dear Heavenly Father,
I come before You with a heart heavy from the weight of my own mistakes. I know You are merciful and full of compassion. Your Word says:
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” — 1 John 1:9
So I confess, Lord—not just the actions, but the shame I’ve carried. I release it now. I lay it at Your feet.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me (Psalm 51:10).
Help me to see myself through Your eyes—not as broken, but as beloved.
Not as condemned, but as redeemed.
You said in Isaiah 1:18:
“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.”
So I receive that cleansing. I receive Your grace.
I forgive myself—not because I deserve it, but because You’ve already paid the price.
Let Your love rewrite the story I’ve told myself.
Let Your truth silence the voice of shame.
Let Your Spirit lead me into healing, wholeness, and peace.
I declare: I am not my past.
I am not my failure.
I am a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
I walk forward free, forgiven, and full of purpose.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
“Prayer, to me, is committing my aspirations, however childish, to a Power which, if I ask for a stone, will nevertheless give me the bread I need.”
Source: Caliban in Grub Street 1930 [Leather Bound]
“Prayer to Our Lady of Waiting Rooms
Let the seats be plentiful and padded.
Let the magazines be recent or let the book
I’ve brought last until we can leave.
Let the TV on its bolted stand be off,
muted, or showing something I can ignore—
weather, gameshows, CNN. Let the room
be mostly empty—no one shouting, sobbing,
asking about my husband’s health.
Let everyone be strangers except
the staff. Let the walls be freshly painted,
soothing to behold. Let my husband
be there for a physical or routine checkup.
Let no one comment on my clothes
or unwashed hair, how I can sit
so calmly while he has staples
or a catheter removed, his lungs or heart
or kidneys tested, an infected wound
debrided. Under no circumstances
let me be called into the back by a nurse
who touches my arm, says I’m sorry but—
Let my husband walk out whistling
before I’ve finished my book, looked
at my watch too many times. Let the news
be good or benign, his next appointment
not for months. When the waiting is over,
let us walk outside feeling better,
or at least no worse, than we did before.”
“PRAYER to the sun above the clouds.
Sun that givest all things birth,
shine on everything on earth!
If that's too much to demand,
shine at least on this our land.
If even that's too much for thee,
shine at any rate on me.”

“Prayer wonderfully clears the vision; steadies the nerves; defines duty; stiffens the purpose; sweetens and strengthens the spirit.”
“Prayer works in the mind as a healing force. It calms the patient, enlightens the physician, guides the surgeon, and it often victoriously applies the power of the spirit when all seems lost. It proves, over and over again, the truth of Tennyson's words: "More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of." Prayer puts us on God's side. It aligns us with life's higher purposes, aims, and ideals. Prayer is dedicating our thought, feeling and action to the expression of goodness. It is to become like a window through which the light of God shines.”

Lessons from a prayerful Mother
In the darkest hour of the night
During the hardest time of life
When unsure if things will be all right
You should pray!
When your mind lacks peace
And your heart is too broken to beat
When you struggle to stand on your feet
You ought to pray!
When some things do not make sense
And everyone close becomes distant
When your faith is shaken in an instant
You must pray!
When the sun is about to set
And your noontime is filled with tears
When the midnight is covered with fear
Wake up and pray!
When in the battlefield
And you have misplaced your shield
When there is no sign you could win
Look upon the hills and pray!
When the race becomes too long
And you cannot keep going on
When everything seems over
Kneel and pray!
For prayer will:
Put you back together
Set you in a good place forever
Keep you going no matter what
Give you something to smile about
Remove the weight off your shoulders
Relieve you from discomfort
Heal even a gaping wound
Help you follow the right way
Take you through another day
Each and everyday
Remember to pray
Because prayer works!”
