Prayer for Self-Love

by Don Miguel Ruiz .

Today, Creator of the Universe, we ask that you help us to accept ourselves  just the way we are, without judgment.  Help us to accept our mind the way  it is, with all our emotions, our hopes and dreams, our personality, our  unique  way of being.

Help us to accept our body just the way it is, with all its  beauty and perfection.  Let the love we have for ourselves be so strong that  we never again reject ourselves or sabotage our happiness, freedom, and  love.  From now on, let every action, every reaction, every thought, every emotion,  be based on love. 

Help us, Creator, to increase our self-love until the  entire dream of our life is transformed, from fear and drama to love and  joy.  Let the power of our self-love be strong enough to break all the lies we  were programmed to believe-all the lies that tell us that we are not good enough, or strong enough, or intelligent enough, that we cannot make it. 

Let  the power of our self-love be so strong that we no longer need to live our  life according to other people's opinions.  Let us trust ourselves completely to make the choices we must make.  With our self-love, we are no  longer  afraid to face any responsibility in our life or face any problems and  resolve them as they arise.  Whatever we want to accomplish, let it be done  with the power of our self-love.

Starting today, help us to love ourselves so much that we never set up any  circumstances that go against us.  We can live our life being ourselves and  not pretending to be someone else just to be accepted by other people. 

We  no longer need other people to accept us or tell us how good we are because  we  know what and who we are.  With the power of our self-love, let us enjoy  what we see every time we look in the mirror.  Let there be a big smile on  our  face that enhances our  inner and outer beauty. 

Help us to feel such  intense self-love that we always enjoy our own presence.  Let us love ourselves without judgment, because when we judge, we carry  blame and guilt, we have the need for punishment, and we lose the  perspective of  your love.  Strengthen our will to forgive ourselves in this moment.

Clean  our minds of emotional poison and self-judgments so we can live in complete  peace and love.  Let our self-love be the power that changes the dream of our life.  With  this new power in our hearts, the power of self-love, let us transform every  relationship we have.  Help us to be free of any conflict with others.

Let  us be happy to share our time with our loved ones and to forgive them for  any injustice we feel in our mind.  Help us to love ourselves so much that  we  forgive anyone who has ever hurt us in our life.  Give us the courage to love our family and friends unconditionally, and to  change our relationships in the most positive and loving way.  Help us to  create new channels of communication in our relationships so there is no war  of control, there is no winner or loser.  Together let us work as a team for  love, for joy, for harmony. 

Let our relationships with our family and friends be based on respect and  joy so we no longer have the need to tell them how to think or how to be.  Let  our romantic relationships be the most wonderful relationship; let us feel  joy every time we share ourselves with our partner.  Help us to accept  others just the way they are, without judgment, because when we reject them,  we  reject ourselves.  When we reject ourselves, we reject you.

Today is a new beginning.  Help us to start our life over beginning today  with the power of self-love.  Help us to enjoy our life, to enjoy our  relationships, to explore life, to take risks, to be alive, and to no longer  live in fear of love.

Let us open our heart to the love that is our  birthright.  Help us to become Masters of Gratitude, Generosity, and Love so  that we can enjoy all of your creations forever and ever. 
Ah-OMmmmmmmmmmmmm
