A prayer practice for when strong emotions arise in meditation, reflection, and prayer.
“This is not a final, forever renunciation of anger or fear; it’s simply a way of gently waving farewell as the emotion starts to recede.”
– Cynthia Bourgeault
The Welcoming Prayer
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.
I welcome everything that comes to me in this moment because I know it’s for my healing.
I welcome all thoughts, feelings, emotions, persons, situations, and conditions.
I let go my desire for security and survival.
I let go my desire for esteem and affection.
I let go my desire for power and control.
I let go of my desire to change any situation, condition, person, or myself.
I open to the love and presence of God and the healing action and grace within.
