I confess that I poison myself with anger,
bitterness,
regret,
I confess that I cripple myself with excuses,
complaining,
procrastination.
I repent.
I am ready to look at the most painful parts of my life and live.
I am ready to answer the hardest question—
the question of whether I am willing to change.
Show me.
Ask me.
Forgive me. Amen.
—Maren Tirabassi and Joan Jordan Grant, An Improbable Gift of Blessing: Prayers and Affirmations to Nurture the Spirit, p. 88
