A Prayer

Rite of Passage:

Father,

I once knelt before you piece by piece in dire need to lean on you.
I prayed for you to fix me, You didn't. I was still in pieces so feeling all alone,
I decided to fix myself. I'm here today, before you my pieces all together.
I made myself stand up again.

Thank you, Father, for giving me what I really needed; the will, at last, to
cause myself to heal, the courage to stand alone and the wisdom to know
that I never was.

Amen.
(From A Mortal on the Mend)
