knots & nots

The Knots of Prayer

Author Unknown

Dear God,

Please untie the knots that are in my mind, my heart and my life.

Remove the "nots," the can nots and the do nots that I have in my mind.

Erase the will nots, may nots, might nots that may find a home in my heart.

Release me from the could nots, would nots and should nots
that obstruct my life.

And most of all, Dear God,

I ask that you remove from my mind, my heart and my life

all the 'am nots' that I have allowed to hold me back,

especially the thought that I am not good enough.

Amen.
