Starting Over

PRAYER FOR PEACE:  Monday,  November 14th, 2011 9am P.T.

FOCUS:  Starting Over

After all of our struggles and pain over the last two and a half years, and now with the conclusion of the trial, some of us are finding themselves experiencing deep sadness and confusion.  Endings often leave us feeling lost and hollow, wondering which way to turn.  Today, instead of a prayer, I am posting this message that found it’s way to me by something other than coincidence.  I hope it helps to bring some peace and direction at this difficult time.

 

Love and Blessings to you all

You’ve spent enough time looking at the past,
Cherishing memories, learning your lessons,
Healing the wounds that have caused you pain.

You may still feel some hurt in the wounded parts of you,
You may have your regrets
And you may not have found
All the precious things you wish to carry with you.

But you move on.

One step at a time, you let go
And you release yourself from the past
That has held you captive these last years.

You may feel your heart skip a beat,
For there is still much uncertainty,
But you hold your ground

And with a firm resolve
You look ahead
Instead of looking back.

And you begin to surrender,
As you begin to receive.
You welcome all the new things
Life can offer you.

You become less afraid
And your courage increases
As you begin to follow your heart.

Everything has suddenly become new

And interesting
And blessed.
You see the world again
Through the eyes of a child,
Colourful,
Magical,
And full of wondrous possibilities!

You are no longer too old for anything,
And it is no longer too late to try something else.

You hold nothing,
But you’re ready for everything,
You are just beginning
But you are not afraid to pursue
What it is you really desire!

You are no longer the same
And you are not afraid to change some more.
You’re no longer afraid to lose yourself
For you know who you are
And all that you have yet to gain

For the first time in a long time,
You feel free,
You feel alive!

You’ve been prepared for this very hour,
For this very beginning.
You know there is yet much to do
But you won’t be turning back.
You only move forward,
You only hope
And trust
And believe
That you are ready
Never more ready than now
to START AGAIN!
