Morning Prayer of a Brave Soul

Good morning, God.
Today I am going to feel.
Today I am going to feel joy.
And when I want to add a “but” or an “if” or feel like I’m unworthy to have joy,
I’m going to stop and breath and say, “I am worthy of feeling joy.”

Today I am going to feel pain.
I realize life hurts, love hurts.
Instead of distracting the pain with numbing behaviors,
I’m deciding to feel it.
Not wallow in it,
to feel it and live.
You are with me in the pain.

Today I am going to feel.
Because you are with me, my expectation is your presence.
I get to live beyond human limitations
Because you are with me.
I will trust you in today’s sunshine.
I will trust you in today’s rain.
Today is going to be an adventure.
Amen.

Read the book

A small book about being the people that hurting people need.

“This is the book that I wish I had had for people in my life that have suffered and needed me to be that compassionate friend. This is the book that I wish others in my life had read before they dismissed my pain, or compared it to theirs, or stumbled horribly through trying to lessen my pain because it was actually really about THEM not feeling comfortable with it.”
