Transcript

Dear God,

I pray for this part of me that only seems to know pain and suffering.

It knows insecurity.

It knows the feeling of being alone.

It longs for connection and yet rarely experiences love.

This part holds pain and carries pain and like the lost sheep,

Longs to be rescued,

To be safe,

And to be included.

While well protected by my other parts,

This part is missing the thing it longs for the most.

Connection to me and connection to you.

I pray for this part right now that it will have a deeper sense of your love for it.

May you,

The God of all comfort,

The God who weeps,

The God who calls us to weep with those who weep,

Let this part feel your comfort right now.

This part is small.

It is vulnerable.

Wrap it in your loving presence.

Hold it in your arms.

May this part get the space that it needs to be witnessed,

To be understood,

To be loved,

And to be relieved of its pain and burdens.

May it find peace in the present,

In this moment,

In your loving presence.

May it understand its true identity in you.

I pray that this part can experience calm and peace and even joy.

I pray for my capacity to hold love and space and care for this part,

Knowing that as I love this part,

I am also showing your love to this part of me.

May your face shine upon this part and be gracious to this part.

And may this part feel your light and find peace.

Amen.
