Sunday Prayer…

I’ve missed a couple of Sunday Prayers and I’ve also been inconsistent with my routine that plays a huge part in my self-care management. I could be disappointed in myself and to a degree I am, but I am choosing to take away the power from the critical mind and instead practice compassion and acceptance.

Now that I have the energy, time and space to write a Sunday prayer, I wanted to take the opportunity to do so. These prayers are not about perfection they’re about clarity, attention, gratitude and direction.

So, as I write up this Sunday prayer I would like to give myself the space to be human. To be flawed and to be in progress.

I pray that this week I don’t lose myself as I get pre-occupied with the volume of work I need to do.

I pray that I pay attention to my own needs, feelings and experiences and that I prioritise what brings me joy over all else.

I pray that I am able to manage the emotions that arise and that I don’t judge them as they pass through me.

I pray that fear will not be the dominant experience of my days and that I remember to practice gratitude over all else.

I pray that there is healing all around and that as a collective we are moving towards a more kinder, compassionate and conscious future where we don’t put pride, power or money over all else.

I pray that I will make choices that will be grounded and aligned to my values.

I pray that I won’t be afraid of making changes if I need to and that I will be strong enough to go against the tide of my thoughts that are trying to flood me with worry and anxiety.

I pray that I am present in more little moments and that I take deeper breaths throughout the day.

I pray that everyone is safe in the lockdown ahead and that we are all kind to ourselves and those around us.

Love Always,

M
