I pause (breathe in and out) and thank you for this day. For the challenges, the emotion, the struggle. For in all this, I grow closer to you.
I pause (breathe in and out) and ask that in the darkness I see your light and in my fear, I feel your strength.
I pause (breathe in and out) and remember that today, as in days before, I have survived. When I’ve wanted to run I’ve stayed. When I’ve wanted to hide, I’ve faced the day.
I pause (breathe in and out) and ask for forgiveness for the days I’ve faulter and the disease takes over. I ask for compassion and love when I’m unable to give those to myself.
I pause (breathe in and out) and resolve to love myself more tomorrow. And always feel your spirit around me in safety.
I pause (breathe in and out) and rest.
