A prayer...
People pleaser to the core
I don’t need to be you anymore.
I try to see it as an achievement.
In time, it will only cause bereavement.
It's impossible to try to guess and meet others' expectations. It’s not sweet.
Pleasing God is one of my goals
It often messes with my soul
I now say to that teaser of being a pleaser, achiever and appeaser:
Jesus, release and relieve me by the power of Your name.
Pride, you can’t abide in me.
Jesus says it needs to flee.
I agree.
Now I can live fully alive in my new reality.
I receive in simplicity
Feeling purely loved
And living adored by the Lord
I don’t need to live in the old way anymore.
I will be what Jesus
Tells me to be.
His best will give me rest.
