Heart Opened

Prayers - Inspirational Prayer

Heart Opened

wsatisfiedlady

Open my heart, so I can see
the truth around me.
When I am shown anger,
help me see the hurt that sparked it.
When I am shown arrogance,
help me see insecurity.

When I am shown aggression,
help me recognize the fear beneath it.
And when I am confronted with hate,
give me the strength and wisdom
to respond with relentless love.

Today, please give me the wisdom
to know how to care for myself.
I want so much to be a blessing
to those around me,
to my partner, family, and friends.
Help me remember:
I cannot take care of them
if I have not cared for myself.

Today I ask for the courage
to recognize my own needs
and the strength to offer myself
the same love I offer those around me.
