a prayer for self acceptance



Dear God,

I am not who I want to be.

I often sin, fall short and find myself frustrated.

My life seems to be one mistake followed by another.

My best efforts are not always enough and I feel like a failure.

I compare myself to others and I fall short.

I am not who I want to be.

Help me to have the courage to accept the way that I am wired.

Give me grace that I might not compare myself to others.

Keep me open to new ways of thinking about life and success.

Teach me to be humble and to accept myself just as I am.

Grant me wisdom that I might see 'me' as you see me.

In all things and in all ways help me to love myself as you love me.

Amen.
