Today’s forgiving journal is … what is your prayer for forgiveness?
A fellow blogger, Dutch Goes the Photo, does a photo challenge each week. Last week’s challenge was “fire”, and he invited us with a question “What is your burning desire?”
I wasn’t going to do the photo challenge (I mean, today is Monday so it’s already time for another challenge!), then I had a dream with this photo that I took. So here I am.
It’s a photo of a solarium in a peace retreat – which is where I live. The photo is from my window, it’s the view I have every day.
I am so grateful to live here you guys. It reminds me to look for love and beauty everywhere. And to forgive.
My forgiveness tool is a three-step process: 1) Self-forgiveness; 2) Letting Go; and 3) Gratitude. I’m going to do this process today as a simple 3-line prayer for forgiveness, inspired by this photo.
Please join me! Does this photo inspire forgiveness for you? What is your prayer for forgiveness? Feel free to share ❤
My Prayer for Forgiveness:
I forgive myself for judging myself
I let it all go into the Light
I am so grateful for eyes of love.
-D. Roth

Love,

Ps – this solarium is where thousands of people meditate for the purposes of knowing themselves as love. Frank — thank you so much for helping me to take in this experience.
Great post, Debbie!

Thanks, Frank! So wild… I had a dream about doing it, woke up, and started writing. 🙂 Maybe that’s a good example of fire.

Beautiful photo, Debbie. My prayer for forgiveness today would be of allowing a sense of separation disconnect me from the Oneness. Heartfelt blessings to you!

Thank you for this, Debbie. I have put yours in my cell phone’s memo section to read during the day. Twice each day my phone alarm goes off as my times to read my affirmations – and I’m adding this prayer to those times. Sending you much love ❤

Wonderful post. I think forgiveness is one of the hardest things to do because it requires forgiveness of self first.
