Help Me Recover With Integrity

Help Me Recover With Integrity is an unedited prayer-poem I wrote in just five minutes. I hope this prayer-poem inspires you today.

Today’s post is based on the prompt for Five Minute Friday. Today’s prompt is “Recover,” and here is my prayer/poem.

Help Me Recover With Integrity

Father God,

Help me recover

with integrity

in this journey

of letting go.

Setting aside

people-pleasing

codependency

perfectionism

and a victim mindset

all my broken

coping mechanisms

with joy and peace

rather than resentment

and persisting sorrow.

May I learn your new ways

and apply them

when I’m tempted

to fall back

into those old grooves

of habit:

the negative self-talk

and self-harm actions

that cost me so much.

I know you promise

newness of life

to me

and I want to embrace it

fully.

Help me recover

with integrity

so I’m doing right by you

even when no one else sees

because you see it all

and want the very best

for me every day

on this recovery path.
