Please Untie the Nots

Dear God:


Please untie the

nots

that are invading my mind, my heart, and my life.


Please remove the have

nots

, the can

nots

, and the do

nots

that invade my mind.


Please erase the will

nots

, may

nots

, might

nots

that invade my heart.


Please release me from the could

nots

, would

nots

and should

nots

that invade my life.


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.


Please erase from my mind the thought that I am

not

good enough.


Please remove from my heart that I am

not

loved enough.


Please untie from my life everything that I clutch that supports the belief that I am

not

enough.


Today, dear God, I come to you humbly and reverently asking that you untie, eliminate, and erase all of the

nots

that have invaded every aspect of my life.


For your mercy and your grace, I am so grateful.


Let these words take on the presence of the Holy Spirit to become living conditions in my life.


And So It Is!
