ask for help.

dear God, please help me to not punish children for being children. even if, and especially because when i was the small one, i was punished for my limitations, resented as a burden and not cherished for my light.

please help me to not judge people for being human. even if, and especially because when i was still growing, not developing as fast as i wanted, i was rejected and rushed and overlooked for not arriving in my final form, even as i held seeds of potential that just wanted nurture.

please help me to not force my consciousness onto others. i remember how it felt to be controlled, for my thoughts and perspectives to be ignored, censured and suppressed so that my individuality might be bent into compliance. i do not need approval for, agreement with, or validation of my reality any more than someone should need me to tell them what to think or how to see. everyone finds their truth in their own time, and better that than prematurely adopting or being subsumed by an outside agenda. i let people live, think and operate as big or small as they want. i can be me and think what i think and see what i see and do what i do. i don’t have to make sense to people and people don’t need to make sense to me. i have more compassion for all of us, now.

dear God, with your help, i think i can be strong enough to give people what they need from me and nothing they don’t. please, let me give this freely and without question. remind me that the universe operates on the highest consciousness of all, and that everyone has their own path to alignment. let me focus on mine, alone.
