Bless this move with smoothness,
make my heart ready to say goodbye,
make my heart also ready, to say hello.

Prayer for Acceptance of Change

Change has come unbidden, and at times, unwelcome,
there are many challenges to be faced and overcome,
change can be dauting and scary, but it has come,
ready or not, change is here, and must be accepted.

May I be equal to the task ahead of me,
ready to renew myself, ready to take on the new,
anxious to let go of old ideas that no longer fit,
moving with cinfidence, into the future, my future.

Make me strong enough to triumph,
flexible enough to grow and change as needed,
optimistic enough to see the new opportunities
as I move into the changing landscape of my life.

I accept and the welcome the change that has come,
I am ready to embrace change and move swiftly forward,
I am ready.

Blessing of Exercise

I walk and my heart grows strong
each day there is time to work my muscles
each day there is a hunger in my body, to move,
to work, to stretch, to renew, to balance.

Bless this day with the health exercise brings me,
habits change and evolve as I embrace my own strength
to grow, to change, to thrive, to live.

                                                Prayer for Moving Forward

May my path be a goodness in the world.
One foot in front of the other, I move forward.
One decision at a time, my life changes and reforms.
One day, gives way to night, and then a new day.
their is great power in One.

One person can speak for many.
One voice of truth, can change the future.
One action, taken with conviction, can change reality.
I am One, who is moving forward.

May my path be blessed, as I walk into the future.
May my footsteps be of benefit to others.
I am One, May my journey be joyous.
