Excerpt from Faith Lifting Prayers

Grant me the courage to face myself 

And to give myself the permission to use my voice 

For so many years 

My inadequacy has bound my tongue 

Inhibited my speech 

And the things that I have wanted to say 

Have been stuck in my throat 

Words that needed to be heard 

Lose their way on my tongue 

So I swallow the words that are lost 

And try to find new ones I feel anxiety 

As people try to complete my sentences 

Wanting a sentence to slip through my lips 

But somehow it clings to my teeth 

My words are drowned out

By fear of being judged and laughed at 

But I have a voice that needs to be heard 

We all do 

As my voice finds its way 

From my heart to my lips 

And to the ears that are listening 

May it be nourished and shaped by self-acceptance 

I give thanks for my ability to speak my truth 

And even though it isn't as smooth as I would like it to be 

It is my voice and I own it 

My words belong to me 

And I will no longer judge how they leave my mouth 

But bless them because they belong to me 

Thank you
