The Knots Prayer

Photo from my archives, taken at Coquina Beach

Taking a Day or two or maybe three off from blogging to remove the Knots of Life. 

BACK SOON!

The Knots Prayer

Dear god:

Please untie the Knots

that are in my mind,

my heart and my life.

Remove the have nots,

the can nots and the do nots

that I have in my mind.

Erase the will nots,

may nots,

might nots that may find

a home in my heart.

Release me from the could nots,

would nots and

should nots that obstruct my life

and most of all,

Dear God,

I ask that you remove from my mind,

my heart and my life all of the "am nots"

especially the thought

that I am not good enough.

Amen.

I've never heard that prayer before. That's fantastic.
Hope those knots you're working on removing aren't tied too tight.

Hello Sandra :=)
I'm going to add this prayer to mine. It is a powerful reminder that we do at times get knotted. I hope your knots are easily untied with a little time off blogging.
All the best.

Keep the knots that connect you to Bob, to Beau, to the sun that shines out of you when you share yourself with us...... take a sword to the rest..... AND BREATHE.🙏

Clever poem/prayer, giving some "food for thought". We all need a bit of "time off" now and then.
