Dear God | A Healing Prayer Through Pain and Difficult Times

<p style="font-size:18px">Sometimes it takes a little voice to remind you things will work out.</p>



<p>Finding yourself through pain can be difficult. Life tends to grab us by the collar when we least expect it. When we are hurt we internalize the pain and sometimes view the situation as a reflection of who we are. However in reality, circumstances are at times out of out control and although you may do everything right, things may still end undesirably.</p>



<p>October was a tough month for me, probably one of the most difficult times I have experienced. Without going into details, it seemed like there was one mishap after another from the first week of the month to the last.</p>



<p>Usually during difficult times I am the person ensuring everything and everyone is okay. I hold back my emotions until the dust has settled. This time was different. I was a complete mess.</p>

<p>In a time of hurt and despair it is easy to absorb your emotions and believe in a way you deserve to hurt. For the first time in my life, I knew I didn&#8217;t deserve to hurt, but allowed myself to feel every bit of pain. This time was different, I realized I was no superwoman and I needed a <strong>healing prayer</strong>. My husband was who I needed the most. ;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How I Coped and My Healing Prayer</h3>



<p>The first thing I did was allowed myself to vulnerable and from there the healing began. ;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>I allowed myself to cry</li><li>I allowed myself to feel sad</li><li>I allowed myself to be alone</li><li>I allowed myself to be surrounded with love</li><li>I mentally blocked out negative thoughts</li><li>Most importantly I took time to get to know me ;</li></ul>



<p>This process helped me come to terms with things and find acceptance. I know now that in order for me to ; properly heal from anything that is causing me emotional hurt, I must first grieve. ;</p>

<p>Just remember it is okay to NOT be okay, but remember things will get easier and better as you live through your moments.</p>

Although I’m not religious, I found your prayer to speak volumes in a way that anyone can relate to – even if they are more spiritual, as myself. I appreciate the time you took to convey your emotions in such a poignant way. <3
What a beautiful prayer! You’re right: it’s okay to not be okay, but it’s so good to know that we can talk to God whenever we want to, in good times and in bad.
Yes, it is okay not to be ok. Talk to whomever or whatever you believe in to be better.
Thank you so much for your comment. I hope it helps anyone open up regarding their pain or emptiness no matter their belief, I am glad you saw that.
