Prayer of Real Beauty:

Amazing Father, Remind me of how much I am loved and created in your image of perfection. For you created my innermost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. I surrender every area of lack within my identity over to your loving hands and ask you fill every void with your love and acceptance. I come before you today and ask you to apply your resurrection power to my broken heart and heal any hurtful memories that remain with in me. Please help me recollect any wounds that I may have forgotten, but are still controlling my behavior or actions, so that I can make healthy decisions that are fueled by your perfect love moving forward. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Chapter 6: The Perfect Storm

Scripture References:

John 10:10 (TPT) A thief has only one thing in mind-he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance more than you expect-life in its fullness until you overflow!

Proverbs 22:6 (TPT) "Dedicate your children to God and point them in the way that they should go, and the values they've learned from you will be with them for life."

The Perfect Storm Prayer:

Amazing Father, Thank you for your loving kindness and patience toward me. I open myself up to your perfect will and clarity moving forward in my life. I give you every place of lack in my childhood that is family related and trust that you will bring me healing and closure to establish health family living. As you gently expose uncomfortable situations that are parallel to any existing lack in my life, I thank you for assisting me with your perfect counselor Holy Spirit and unconditionally loving me through the entire process. Let me be surrounded with a friendship circle that values me and extends grace when it is mutually needed. Lord, I ask that you extend an extra measure of self-control upon me for times when I want to give up or quit during this process. Remind me of the love you have for me and how you will never give up or quit on me despite all my weakness. Remind me that you have enough mercy to allow me to process through difficult times and that I must extend that mercy to others. Help me pour out mercy and grace on everyone that needs it in my life. I ask that you gently convict me if I overcompensate a situation based on wounds or suppressed lack. Please give me clarity when I try to force situations to happen within my own power and teach me how to trust you to work in them. Heal my heart Lord. I accept the challenge of receiving your fullness wherever it is needed in my heart and mind. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Finding the Root Causes Prayer

Amazing Father, I come before you with a surrendered heart. I'm tired of fighting the waves of adversity alone in my mind, heart, and emotions. I'm asking you to take control over any difficulties that I'm currently going through during any phase of my life. I ask that you take me by the hand and guide me into complete and total healing from painful childhood wounds that have scarred me and attempt to keep me in a repetitive routine of unhealthy and unruly thinking, feeling, and behavior. Don't allow me to destroy any relationships, connections, or friendships by acting according to my wounds that have been forgotten or have been hidden. Please show me specific memories that need to surface within my heart and mind. Please heal me from these memories with your power once and for all. Don't allow me to travel on this journey alone anymore. Please send me accountability friendships that care about me and will not judge me in any when I become vulnerable and transparent to them. Thank you for magnifying unhealthy mindsets within me, so that I can begin to live the way you have intended me to live and walk in complete and total freedom. In Jesus Name, Amen.
