Re: I don't know how to love myself-prayer...

[Guest guest]

A Beautiful Prayer I found on self-love.

I love reading all the comments on this post. I want to add a prayer I found

online. I forgot the website but I don't mind typing it because I cry a little

when I read it before I go to sleep. I'd like to share it with all of you and

maybe it will help you.

It has been helping my struggle. Maybe when you read it you would like to

replace " Creator of the Universe " with your " Higher Power " or the " forces that

be " or whatever might help. Also, you may want to tweek certain parts. I don't

think it was directly intended for children of BPD or PD parents.

PRAYER FOR SELF LOVE

Today, Creator of the Universe, I ask that you help me to accept myself just the

way I am, without judgement. Help me to accept my mind the way it is, with all

my emotions, my hopes and dreams, my personality, my unique way of being. Help

me to accept my body just the way it is with all its beauty and perfection. Let

the lve I have for myself be so strong that I never again reject myself or

sabotage my happiness, freedom or love.

From now on, let every action, every reaction, every thought, and every emotion,

be based on love. Help me, Creator, to increase my self love until the entire

dream of my life is transformed, from fear and drama to love and joy. Let the

power of my self love be strong enough to break all the lies that I was

programmed to believe - all the lies that told me I was not god enough, or

strong enough, or intelligent enough or that I couldn't make it. Let the power

of my self love be so strong that I no longer have to live my life according to

other people's opinions. Let me trust myself completely to make the choices I

must make. With my self love, I am no longer afraid to face any responsibility

in my life or any problems and resolve them as they arise. Whatever I want to

accomplish, let it be done with the power of my self love.

Starting today, help me to love myself so much that I never set up any

circumstances to go against myself. I can live my life being myself and not

pretending to be someone else to be accepted by other people. I no longer need

anyone else to accept me or tell me how good I am because I know what I am. With

the power of my self love let me enjoy what I see every time I look in the

mirror. Let there be a big smile on my face that enhances my inner and outer

beauty. Help me to feel such intense self love that I always enjoy my own

presence.

Let me be myself without judgement, because when I judge, I carry blame and

guilt, and I have the need for punishment, and I lose the perspective of [your]

love. Strengthen my will to forgive others this moment. Clean my mind of

emotional poison and self judgements so that I can live in complete peace and

love.

Let my self love be the power that changes the dream of my life. With this new

power in my heart, the power of self love, let me transform every relationship I

have, beginning with my relationship with myself. Help me to be free of any

conflict with others. Let me be happy to share my time with my loved ones and to

forgive them for any injustice I feel in my mind. Help me to love myself so much

that I forgive anyone who has ever hurt me in my life.

Give me the courage to love my family and friends unconditionally, and to change

my relationships in the most positive, and loving way. Help me to create new

channels of communication in my relationships so that there will be no war of

control, there is no winner or loser. Allow me to work with others as a team for

love, for joy, for harmony.

Let my relationships with my family and friends be based on respect and joy so I

no longer have the need to tell them what to think or how to be. Let my romantic

relationship be the most wonderful relationship; let ourselves feel joy every

time we share ourselves with our partner. Help us to accept others just the way

they are, without judgement, because when I reject them, I reject myself. When I

reject myself, I reject you.

Today is a new beginning. Help me to start my life over beginning today with the

power of self love. Help me to enjoy my life, to enjoy my relationships, to

explore life, to take risks, to be alive, and to no longer live in fear of love.

Let me open my heart to the love that is my birthright. Help me to become a

master of Gratitude, Generosity and Love so that I can enjoy all your creations

forever and ever. Amen.
