mp.56 Seven Step Prayers 4.6.13
The seventh step of the twelve step program is to give your character flaws over to your higher power. A format for these prayers is a four line prayer - 1st line stating flaw/2nd line stating dependence on higher power/3rd line states what I am letting go of and the last line states what I am welcoming in its stead (St Therese Mindfulness and the 12 steps).
I will talk more about the process of writing these and thinking behind them in the next post.
Here are some of mine:
When I hear my inner critic
Entrusting myself to the way, I vow
To let go of a judging spirit
And open my heart with kind attention.
When I feel the urge to withdraw
Entrusting myself to the way, I vow
To let go of self hate and loathing
And extend loving kindness to myself.
When I fear abandonment
Entrusting myself to the way, I vow
To stop and notice
And open my heart to trust and love.
When I feel the gnawing of insecurity
Entrusting myself to the way, I vow
To let go of self doubt
And rest in the joy of my true nature.
When I feel the tug to lie
Entrusting myself to the way, I vow
To let go of the story
And trust in the truth of the moment.
When I feel the urge to grab what is "mine"
Entrusting myself to the way, I vow
To let it go if grasping
And rest in the enoughness of my true nature.
When I feel the urge to claim victimhood
Entrusting myself to the way, I vow
To let go of self pity
And embrace my heart with compassion.
