The Knots of Prayer

The Knots of Prayer
Author Unknown

Dear God:
Please unite the knots
that are in my mind,
my heart and my life.
Remove the nots,
the can nots and the do nots
that I have in my mind.

Erase the will nots,
may nots, might nots
that may 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 the 'am nots'
that I have allowed to hold me back,
especially the thought
that I am not good enough.

Amen
