A Prayer for Connection

[Sober2007]

I wrote this prayer today and thought I would share it with others in case it helps anyone get through the day. To my Higher Power: I believe that you are here with me right now, in this moment, and in all moments. That you never leave me. That you are always with me. That you are constantly protecting me and guiding me, even when I feel scared and confused. I believe you want what is best for me and that you are always working to prepare me for that. I believe that my troubles have a purpose, even though I can’t see what that is right now. I believe that you are real, and that you love me and care for me, as well as for all the other people around me. I ask that you remove from me the anxiety and sadness that keep me from being more useful to others. I want to be more present for them and less self-absorbed. When I am troubled by thoughts of all my failures in the past, I ask that you please restore me to the present moment and remind me of my relationship with you. I know that you are my strength and my hope, that without you I am lost. I know this because I feel hopeless and insecure when I am not in contact with you. My sincere desire is to connect with you in this moment and throughout each day. I cherish our connection, I believe you are there for me no matter what happens or how I feel, and I pray you will continue to protect me and guide me toward becoming who you want me to be.
