Forgiveness Prayer         Michael Morwood

I draw upon the creative, Divine Spirit within me,

a Spirit of strength and new possibilities,

and I forgive

anyone who has hurt, upset or offended me,

anyone who has damaged my reputation,

anyone who has caused me grief or pain.

I draw upon the creative, Divine Spirit within me,

a Spirit of peace and graciousness,

and I desire

to be thoughtful of others,

to do and to wish no one any hurt.

I draw upon the creative, Divine Spirit within me.

a Spirit of healing and compassion

and I ask for

a deeper awareness

of this Spirit in myself and others,

in our fragility,

in our weaknesses,

and in our common desire

to give the best human expression we can to this Spirit

in our living and loving.
