Prayer for strength during God’s Growth and Healing

“Lord, I trust your ways.

I release all drama, trauma and suffering, exchanging this for a spirit of gratitude.

Give me a deep revelation of the truth that I am ENOUGH.

I am worthy because YOU say I am, not because I ‘feel’ like it.

I am enough because YOU say I am, not because I am ‘doing’ enough.

There is nothing I must ‘do’ or ‘be’ to earn your love.

Jesus died on the cross for me.  I accept His sacrifice of love as the ultimate sign of approval and grace.

In Jesus’ name, I release all insecurity, false humility and pride, exchanging this for my true identity. The only thing that matters is what you say about me.  In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

When I find myself struggling or triggered, I commit to slowing down and asking myself these questions:

1. Why does this annoy me?
2. Why does this overwhelm me?
3. Are there any ‘shoulds’ here? (things others tell me I have to do)
4. Have I taken on another’s tasks, beliefs, problems or issues?
5. Do I need to manage my time and energy better? (Can I delegate?)

Action steps:

1. Ask God for help.
2. Ask others for grace or help (if needed)
3. If you cannot change the situation, remove the emotions, stop complaining and begin praising God for helping you.

Declaration for my Growth and Healing:

“My growth gets to be easy and fun because healing is my deepest desire and the Holy Spirit is here to help me!

I am deeply loved and supported by my Heavenly Father.

I honor everyone’s free will and accept that the only person/perspective I can change is myself. I will leave them with God and allow God to work through me.”
