A prayer to carry
Father, You know the pattern I have hidden and the harm it brings. I need the mercy of Jesus Christ and the help of Your Spirit. Forgive the sin I have defended. Give me courage to tell the truth, receive appropriate care, and accept accountability. Help me take the next safe step away from what is harming me and others. Keep me from trying to carry recovery alone. Teach me to trust and obey You one day at a time. Amen.
