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.
