A Meditation Moment

A recommended prayer for those who are sort of willing...

God, I am as ready as I can be to have you remove my limitations, enduring vulnerabilities, defects of character, and shortcomings.  I sincerely desire for you to remove them and I admit that I may still be attached to some of them as well.  I am worried that I might be missing some too.  Without your intervention, I see no way out.  I have tried everything I know to do and I still end up back at the same place of suffering and causing harm.  I’ve made poor choices, sabotaged myself and developed some habits that feel impossible to change.  I find myself repeating old familiar patterns, and I am ready for that to end.  I’m trying to survive and my life is hard.  I am entirely ready for you to help me change my life, relinquish my old ways of being in this world, and find a new life of love.  Show me your presence, give me assurances along the way that as the old ways slip away, the new ways will provide me with what I need to thrive.
