Lockjaw

Lent 2023 | Day 19 | Monday, March 13

 

Week No. 03

I let go of my desire for power and control.

 
  • Welcome, welcome, welcome.
    I welcome everything that comes to me today because I know it is for my healing.

    I welcome all thoughts, feelings, emotions, persons, situations, and conditions.

    I let go of my desire for power and control.

    I let go of my desire for affection, esteem, approval and pleasure.

    I let go of my desire for survival and security.

    I let go of my desire to change any situation, condition, person or myself.

    I open to the love and presence of God and God’s action within.

    Amen.

 

 

Quote Of The Day

I worried a lot. Will the garden grow, will the rivers flow in the right direction, will the earth turn as it was taught, and if not how shall I correct it? Was I right, was I wrong, will I be forgiven, can I do better? Will I ever be able to sing, even the sparrows can do it and I am, well, hopeless. Is my eyesight fading or am I just imagining it, am I going to get rheumatism, lockjaw, dementia? Finally, I saw that worrying had come to nothing. And gave it up. And took my old body and went out into the morning, and sang.

- Mary Oliver

 

 

Song Of The Day

 

 

Prompt Of The Day

Somebody really important once said that worrying won’t add a single second to your life. What do you most worry about, and how has all that worry served your life and/or stripped your sense of service and life, itself?
