PRAYER FOR TRUST

God of compassion,

  you alone know the depth of my pain.

You are aware of the people I have loved

but who refused to love me in return.

You were with me when those I trusted

betrayed my faith in them.

Only you can understand how certain

words and actions

  have left me wounded and alone.

Heal me of my hurt.

Allow me to break those chains of pain

that bind me to my offenders.

Through your strength show me

how to forgive,

how to move forward,

how to live.
