You Are Not Broken

This morning I did something I haven’t done in years:

I sank to my knees, lifted my hands to my heart, and prayed.

Oh, I talk to God (Source, the Universe, that pure love energy) all the time. You kind of have to when you’re connecting to Spirit as a channel.

But this was different.

This wasn’t the plea of prayer I had when I was sick.

This wasn’t the ask of the miracle, the begging for answers and clarity.

This was a simple prayer for inner peace.

Dear God...

Please take these burdens from my heart. I don’t wish to carry them anymore. Please anchor me into the present moment so I can appreciate love more fully—with forgiveness of the past and without expectations of the future. Please help me surrender to you, knowing I can’t control this situation, knowing I’m not meant to. I create with you, and you already know what my heart asks. Please bestow upon me the ability to let go of all that you wish me to, grant me the grace to accept this change, allow me to surrender my heart into your hands. Please help me to heal.

Dear Child, I heard him respond simply.

You are not broken.
