There are quite a number of individuals in this world who have become rather resistant to change in many areas of their lives. I should know, as I was once someone who was against changing anything that put me outside my comfort zone. In fact, I was completely happy staying comfortably uncomfortable, even though I knew that change could be a good thing for me. But then I discovered along the way that if I wanted to walk on a spiritual path that it would require constant change. So I started praying to God to become more open to it and it’s helped me immensely. That being said, one of my sponsees in recovery motivated me today to write a prayer for him surrounding this very thing. So I hope all of you may utilize this prayer in your own lives and will remember one thing, that change really is a good thing!
“Dear God, I don’t want to be averse to changing any parts of my life, especially those that have been holding me back from becoming my greatest highest good. I know I have been stubborn and resistant to change, but I don’t want to be anymore. Please help me to overcome all of my fears and worries that have kept me from changing those obstinate parts of me. People say that change is a good thing, so I ask You for the strength to help me start seeing and believing that as well. I truly want to be open to change on every level and in every way throughout my life. Thank you God for all of the energy You send me to help me get there. Amen.”
Peace, love, light, and joy,
