…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?“
