Dear God
Please help me to quell the fears and anxieties in my heart
Please help me not to be paralysed by a negative view or perception
Or allow past loss to colour every new interaction
Painting it black
Let me remember
That the present is not always like the past
That the past comes into awareness
Only for me to see it
And bless it on its way
Taking the lesson at the heart
And leaving any fear behind
Help me to realise
That an acknowledged past
Has only the power over me
That I choose to give it
Help me every day
To choose love over fear
And belief over doubt
Courage over insecurity
