Today We Pray

I pause for a moment

and think of the love and the grace

that God showers on me,

creating me in his image and likeness,

making me his temple.

God is within me and me in Him.

What most often stops me achieving freedom is my tendency

to be caught up in fears and expectations

about what I 'ought' or 'should' be.

My usual automatic responses tie me down

and inhibit me from exploring new areas of growth.

I ask and pray for a greater sense of inner freedom and

that I might reach the fresh and challenging possibilities

that God wishes me to realize.

Lead me Lord to where you need me to be.
