A Prayer
By Steve

God, grant me the peace to say what is in my mind. To know myself and to myself be true as this is the path to your image of me. To not be afraid. To know my imperfections. Help me not to hate myself. To smile out of genuine happiness coming from your grace and workmanship. To be kind and honest and good as the fruit of the spirit. Let me not be afraid to be called names. Let me not be afraid. Let me be calm and passive and in the moment of your son's being. Let me not destroy myself out of a sense of creative destruction but preserve my soul and body.

I love how you repeat let me
I love how you repeat let me not be afraid. Something I could say every day. It's so hard to remember the times when we've been answered before and know that we don't have to be afraid. So human to forget and be afraid. It's a good prayer for anyone.

'to say what is in my mind'
'to say what is in my mind' This is what writing should do. The bit about creative destruction is something I can relate to and you have described it well. Elsie
