May I Find Forgiveness

May I find forgiveness …

For the times I did not honor my intention
to care for our planet and help repair our world.

For the times I did not honor my intention
to listen without judging and give without expecting.

For the times I did not honor my intention
to be calm, patient, compassionate and kind.

For the times I did not honor my intention
to respond rather than react.

For the times I did not honor my intention
to use uplifting, encouraging and inspiring words.

For the times I did not honor my intention
and to be aware of, and present to,
what is true for me in each moment.

For the times I did not honor my intention
to practice positivity, mindfulness and gratitude.

For the times I did not honor my intention
to listen to my body and treat it kindly.

For the times I did not honor my intention
to nourish my body with healthy food.

For the times I did not honor my intention
to go to bed earlier and get more sleep.

For the times I did not honor my intention
to deepen my connection to those I love.

For the times I did not honor my intention
to stand in my truth and allow others to stand in their truth.

For the times I did not honor my intention
to listen to my heart and trust my instincts.

For the times I did not honor my intention
to do what is right, rather than what is easy.

For the times I did not honor my intention
to focus on what I have, rather than what I lack.

For the times I did not honor my intention
to look for God in the face of everyone I meet
and reach out to them in love.

For the times I did not honor my intention
to work toward a world filled with
justice, equality, inclusivity, and peace.

For all these times, may I forgive myself,
and may I find forgiveness.
