The Knots Prayer

Dear God:

Please untie the knots 

that are in my mind,

my heart and my life.

remove the have nots

the can nots and the do nots 

that I have in my mind.

Erase the will nots

mays 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 of the 'am nots'

that I have allowed to hold me back,

especially the thought that 

I am not good enough.

Amen.
