Holding On, Letting Go

Goddess,

I've let situations frustrate me lately.

I know that they aren't holding onto me,

I'm holding onto them;

My frustration does nothing for me but weigh me down.

I'm letting it take away my happiness,

I'm giving it away for nothing.

Goddess,

I'll hold onto you instead;

Help me to let go of the things that weigh me down -

Help me to hold onto the things that lift me up.

A Prayer to the Goddess of Healing

Oh Goddess of Healing,

Someone is in pain.
Someone is missing a loved one.
Someone is having to learn to live without,
And is adjusting to a new way of life.

We can feel the pain of those we know
As they suffer through it.
We hope to offer them peace:
A hug, a shoulder, an ear.

Oh Goddess of Healing,
Bless those that hurt,
That are mourning a lost one;
Give them that hope, that hug,
That shoulder, that ear.

Let them look around and in themselves
And find you, your hope, your strength.
Let them find you in their friends and family,
And in us, their community.

Goddess of Love

Oh, Goddess of Love,

Be with me as I walk into new territory;
Be with me as I start another new journey;

Help me keep my eyes and heart on you;
Help me remember why I'm on this path;

Let me find and be the peace you offer.

This isn't easy;
This is sometimes lonely;
This weighs heavily on me;

But,

You are with me,
You give me strength.

This is the path in front of me.

Sweet Lady, guide us, show us the way.
