Hello — although I now know lots of people are familiar with this prayer, it only came to my attention within the past few months. Since there might be more people like me who are not familiar with the Knots Prayer, here it is!
The Knots 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 God,
I ask that you 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

Yes, our knots keep us tied to the dock. Time to untie them and set ourselves free!
Living in grace and ease,

one of those sayings that includes almost every possibility, one way or the other. :-)
This a keeper especially when I'm in that "afraid not/frayed knot" state of mind where I can't articulate on my own. This just about covers it all.
