God, I want to be real with you, but sometimes its really hard.
Help me to let go of what I think what I know about You, my spiritual journey, and who I am.
I open myself up to you, so I may experience You in my life.
Help me cut through my own *******, so I am honest with myself.
I give thanks for my life. Please help me to breathe deeply today, so I may be present to people that I think are "*******." Help me to get to know them as people, and connect to them beyond what's hard about them. I don't expect this to happen overnight, so help me to have patience as You teach me to love.
Oh yeah, and help me to love the greatest pain in the *** in my life. Me. Help me to be compassionate and loving to myself, so I may embody Your love to others. Thanks. Amen.
A prayer I wrote in early sobriety. It can be found in my self published book:
