The "Knots" Prayer

Are you familiar with the "Knots" prayer? It's a keen insight from an unknown author.


Dear God:
 

 
Please untie the knots
 

 
that are in my mind,
 

 
my heart and my life.
 

 
Remove the have nots,
 

 
the can nots
 

 
and the do nots
 

 
that I have in my mind.
 

 
Erase the will nots,
 

 
the may nots,
 

 
and the might nots
 

 
that may find a home in my heart.
 

 
Release me from the could nots,
 
the would nots
 

 
and the should nots
 

 
that obstruct my life.
 

 
And most of all,
 

 
dear God,
 

 
I ask that you remove from my mind,
 

 
my heart and my life
 

 
all of the 'am nots'

that I have allowed to hold me back,
 

 
especially the thought
 

 
that I am not good enough.
 

 
AMEN.
