Getting Free
(By Setting Others Free)
It is not
unusual for us human beings to secretly wish and hope that the people we’re
close to don’t become too magnificent. We don’t really want these
significant others to be too free or too powerful or too
creative or too successful or to dream too wild a dream. We
actually prefer that they stay small, “manageable”, non-threatening, tame.
After all, we don’t want to be made to feel uncomfortable or inadequate or
diminished or challenged by the boldness and joyfulness with which someone else
lives his or her life.
But,
until we are willing and actively desire that the key people in our
lives be totally free and powerful, we cannot be free and powerful ourselves.
So, here is an affirmation-prayer that may help us begin freeing others, so
that we can begin to free ourselves.
I, _____(your name)_____ want you, _____(his or her name)_____, to be the highest,
clearest, most powerful expression of God that you can be. I would not limit
you in any way, knowing that only as I encourage you to expand, explore and
grow, can I myself be free. So I fully support you in being and expressing all
that you are.
I want
you to go where you feel called to go, to speak and act as you feel guided, and
to express yourself in whatever ways seem right. There is nothing I do not want
you to do, for I know that all movement is contained within God and always
leads us to Him.
I am at
peace with whatever decisions and choices you make, no matter how they may seem
to affect me. Since I know that God loves and supports me perfectly, I know
that however you choose to be with me must be a manifestation of that divine
love and support. Because I trust God, I trust you. And because I trust you, I
trust myself.
So, be
free, be powerful, be unlimited. And know that I, _________, want you,
_________, to be the highest, clearest, most powerful expression of God that
you can be. I fully support you in being all that you are.
