EDITGrounding
I am worthy of love that does not have to be earned back daily.
Prayers for love in its many forms: partnership, friendship, family, community and the love that holds all beings. These prayers ask for patience, honesty and kindness in our bonds — and for discernment where a bond has become harmful. Love is never framed as possession.
Come as you are

Today's prayer
EDITOriginal compositionMODModern interpretationMaker of reconciliation, who mends what we cannot,
there is a bond in my life gone quiet or sharp, and I do not know which of us should move first. Give me honesty about my part — no more, no less. Give me patience with their timing, and with mine. If the door can be reopened, show me the handle. If it cannot, at least for now, give me peace that does not depend on the outcome and kindness that does not require contact. Where mending is possible, let it begin in me. Where it is not, let me release them to your keeping without…
Hold what we cannot mend, and mend what we cannot hold. Amen.
I am worthy of love that does not have to be earned back daily.
I can love with open hands — holding, not grasping.
The love I have received can flow through me to others.
Who in your life feels like shelter — and when did you last tell them?
Where are you loving with clenched hands, and what would open hands change?
What kind of love are you quietly hungry for right now?
