Letting Go Prayer

To a dear one about whom I have been concerned:

I behold the Christ in you.

I place you lovingly in the care of the Father.

I release you from my anxiety and concern.

I let go of my possessive hold on you.

I am willing to free you to follow the dictates

of your indwelling Lord.

I am willing to free you to live your life

according to your best light and understanding.

Husband, wife, child, friend –

I no longer try to force my ideas on you, my ways on you.

I lift my thoughts above you, above the personal level.

I see you as God sees you, a spiritual being, created

in His image, and endowed with qualities and abilities

that make you needed, and important – not only to me but

to God and His larger plan.

I do not bind you, I no longer believe that you do not have

the understanding you need in order to meet life.

I bless you,

I have faith in you,

I behold Jesus in you.
