Spirituality for Caregiving and Chronic Illness
Receptive. Bathing your heart, mind, soul, and being in the notion of receptivity can transport you into a radically healthy place.
You have probably grappled with the concept of extending grace to other people, especially those you’d rather withhold it from. But, have you wrestled with extending and receiving grace for yourself? Have you given yourself a break and taken time to receive?
Pray this prayer and repeat it multiple times:
I receive.
I receive grace.
I welcome the cleansing, emptying, and refurnishing of the interior of my soul.
I will not hold anything against myself. I release it all, at least in this moment. Everything I’ve missed and messed up, everything I know that I don’t want others to know.
I release it all.
In its place, I receive.
I receive grace.
Amen
Worth Repeating
I do not at all understand the mystery of grace – only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us.
-Anne Lamott
