"I noticed a broken pattern emerge in my leadership and spiritual formation...

…Attune offered the framework, context, and activities for parsing this brokenness (i.e., what is good and broken in my thinking, feeling, believing, and acting?) and then discerning a more faithful way forward. It culminated with me writing a prayer to start my day and a simple prayer for when I sensed the broken pattern emerging. Here are those prayers:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for grace, mercy, and security.
Help me to feel my feelings today and to give them their proper place.
Help me to unhurriedly and non-anxiously keep in step with you, running the race I get to run.

Amen

Lord, I have just numbed my feelings.
What is it that I don’t want to feel?
Why don’t I want to feel that?
What do I need to articulate and what do I need to do to feel my feelings and give them their proper place?“
