🕊️ The Prayer

Father,

I am not patient with myself. I want to be further along than I am — more healed, more disciplined, more spiritually mature. And when I'm not where I want to be, I turn criticism inward rather than giving myself the grace I so freely extend to others.

📖Why This Prayer Matters

We often give others the benefit of grace while withholding it from ourselves. But self-compassion is not self-indulgence — it is the honest acknowledgment that we, like everyone else, are works in progress. And works in progress deserve patience.

This quiet is safe.
