The Knot Prayer

Today's post is short and simple, but I hope it causes you to reflect like it did me.  It is a poem that one of our Warrior Princess Sisters, Marcy, sent to me.  Thank you, Marcy! 

The Knots Prayer

Dear God,

please untie the knots

that are in my mind,

my heart and my life.

Remove the have nots,

the can nots and the do nots

that I have in my mind.

Erase the will nots,

may nots, and

might nots that 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 of the am nots

that I have allowed to hold me back,

especially the thought

that I am not good enough.

Amen.

What nots are tying you up today?  I think of my daughter when she was very little struggling with a knot in her shoe lace and becoming more and more frustrated because her little fingers just couldn't get the mess untied.  In fact, the more she struggled, the tighter the knots became.  When she finally gave up and let me try, it took me a little longer than it should have to untie the knots because of her tightening the knots with her struggling. 
 
Are you tightening any knots in your life?  You know that your Heavenly Father is waiting for you to let Him take care of those nots for you?
 

Those who live in the shelter

of the Most High

will find rest in the

shadow of the Almighty.

This I declare of the LORD:

He alone is my refuge,

my place of safety;

He is my God,

and I am trusting

Him.

Psalm 91:1-2
