The Daily Acceptance Prayer

By Ziska

 

Lord, I accept myself completely.  I accept my strengths and my weaknesses, my gifts and my shortcomings, my good points and my faults.  I accept myself completely as a human being.  I accept that I am here to learn and grow, and I accept that I am learning and growing.  I accept the personality I’ve developed and I accept my power to heal and change.  I accept myself without condition or reservation and that my essence is unconditional love, and I accept that sometimes I forget this.  I accept myself completely, and in this acceptance I find an ever-deepening inner strength.  From this place of strength, I accept my life fully and open to the lessons it offers me today.  I accept that within my mind are both fear and love, and I accept my power to choose which I will experience as real.  I recognize that I experience only the results of my own choices.  I accept the times that I choose fear as part of my learning and healing process, and I accept that I have the potential and power in any moment to choose love instead.  I accept mistakes as part of growth, so I am always willing to forgive myself and give myself another chance.  I accept that my life is the expression of my thought, and I commit myself to aligning my thoughts more and more each day to your Thought of Love.  I accept that I am an expression of Your Love, Love’s hands and voice and heart on earth.  I accept my own life as a blessing and a gift.  My heart is open to receive, and I am deeply grateful.  May I always share the gifts that I receive fully, freely, and with joy.
