The (K)not Prayer 

Dear God:

Please untie the knots that are in my mind, my heart and my life.

Remove the have-nots, the can-nots and the do-nots that I have in my mind.

Erase the will-nots, may-nots, might-nots that may find a home in my heart.

Release me from the could-nots, would-nots and should-nots that obstruct my life.

And most of all, Dear Lord, I ask you to remove from my mind, my heart and my life all of the 'am nots' that I have allowed to hold me back, especially the thought that I am not good enough.

Amen

• Cut a small piece of chord or rope (10cm) and tie a knot in the centre of it. As you begin your prayer time, spend a moment focusing upon the knot you have just tied - Read through the prayer and reflect upon it’s meaning for you.

• What would you like to bring to the Lord today? Are there any ‘Am-Nots’, ‘Will-nots’ or ‘could-nots’ in your life?
