Easter
I guess I haven't posted in a while. Well then, I thought I'd pop in and say Happy Easter to all of you. I hope the weather's as nice for you as it is over here. If not, I hope it will be shortly.

Post
It seems like everyone on my buddy list upated today/yesterday. I'm afraid I only got to a few of your sites before midnight struck. My apologies. I'm getting into the swing of things so no need to worry. Thank you all for commenting. You didn't have to since I didn't have time to comment on all of yours. I hope that everyone has a less stressful week than my self. See you around.

Update
I appologize for not updating or checking sites recently. My classes have just changed for the new term so I haven't been used to it yet. I hope you all will forgive me. I also didn't update because it wouldn't be fair for all of you to check my update if I didn't have the decency to return the favor. With that, I'll try to get to all of you who have updated today.

Whole Prayer
As promised, this is the whole prayer. Each section is to be taken individually. So don't go through the whole thing on one day. I like it, so I hope you will too.

A Prayer for Rage

I. Acknowledgement

Dear God, I come to you with
An overwhelming anger,
A bursting rage.

This rage is like a cancer
Shut up in my bones,
Eating away at my soul.

Today, O God, I acknowledge this rage.
I do not suppress it,
Or hide from it.

Thank you, Lord,
Thank you
For accepting me
Rage and all

II. Expression

O God, I feel a burning rage within.
A fire gone wild.
Burning, always burning.

God, I hate what was done to me.
It was so evil.
So wrong.

Why this evil?
Why this degradation?
Why? Why? Why?

My rage, O God, is the only power I have
Against this vicious world.
That’s why I cannot let it go.
Please, God, don’t ask me to let it go.

III. Turning

God, I cannot separate
My hatred for what was done
From the person who did it.

I despise the deed.
I loathe the person who did the deed.
My rage is my only revenge.

But, God, my rage destroys me too.
I feel this seething anger
Searing my own soul.

O Lord, my God,
Deliver me
From the evil
I would do to myself.

IV. Forgiving

I refuse to allow this evil
To control me
Any more.

I will not be held in bondage
To my hate
Any longer.

But, the strength of love,
Is not in me.
I must wait for your enabling.

Now, in your great power,
And with a trembling heart,
I speak your word
Of forgiveness.

V. Healing

May your healing light shine, O God,
Into every crack
And crevice of my soul.

Rage once made me feel strong.
But now I receive your light,
Encircling me with love.

I have not forgotten
What was done to me.
I will never forget.

But today I choose
To live
As your child
Of infinite worth.
Amen.

Prayer (Part V) The last part

V. Healing

May your healing light shine, O God,
Into every crack
And crevice of my soul.

Rage once made me feel strong.
But now I receive your light,
Encircling me with love.

I have not forgotten
What was done to me.
I will never forget.

But today I choose
To live
As your child
Of infinite worth.
Amen.

Prayer (Part IV)
Alright, the fourth part. But before that I just want to say that the point of such a long prayer is to show the transition from this rageful person to a calmer and more dependent one. Prayer can do that. It's not a prayer to be read through completely. Each part could be the only prayer. Until one feels the next there's no point in going on. It's meant to be a transition.

IV. Forgiving

I refuse to allow this evil
To control me
Any more.

I will not be held in bondage
To my hate
Any longer.

But, the strength of love,
Is not in me.
I must wait for your enabling.

Now, in your great power,
And with a trembling heart,
I speak your word
Of forgiveness.

Prayer (Part III)
Sorry I didn't post this yesterday. Yes, it's a day late. And to answer a question, I am Christian so this prayer is too I guess but that doesn't mean non-Christians can't relate. I find it very useful for any human being.

III. Turning

God, I cannot separate
My hatred for what was done
From the person who did it.

I despise the deed.
I loathe the person who did the deed.
My rage is my only revenge.

But, God, my rage destroys me too.
I feel this seething anger
Searing my own soul.

O Lord, my God,
Deliver me
From the evil
I would do to myself.

A Prayer for Rage (Part II)
If you don't care to read it don't worry. I won't feel bad if you don't want to comment. Once again I'm not trying to press my faith on anyone else (if there is any faith). I just found these prayers to hit a bell. If you think so to, I"m glad.


II. Expression

O God, I feel a burning rage within.
A fire gone wild.
Burning, always burning.

God, I hate what was done to me.
It was so evil.
So wrong.

Why this evil?
Why this degradation?
Why? Why? Why?

My rage, O God, is the only power I have
Against this vicious world.
That’s why I cannot let it go.
Please, God, don’t ask me to let it go.

Prayers continue!
Even though the last prayer has been concluded, I have one other interesting and in my opinion very close to home prayer. It has five parts so I'll do a part a day and on the sixth day have the whole thing:

A Prayer for Rage

I. Acknowledgement

Dear God, I come to you with
An overwhelming anger,
A bursting rage.

This rage is like a cancer
Shut up in my bones,
Eating away at my soul.

Today, O God, I acknowledge this rage.
I do not suppress it,
Or hide from it.

Thank you, Lord,
Thank you
For accepting me
Rage and all
