Surrender: A prayer of acceptance when you’ve done enough

“Dear God, please walk with my dear ones, because I cannot.” Jean P. Kelly

We are sometimes so busy fulfilling our own need to help, we fail to recognize that helping can hurt – both others and ourselves. When we finally accept that we’ve done all we can, it is time to surrender: not giving up, but rather giving over control to the Divine. Learn how Spiritual Reading makes letting go of unbalanced relationships possible in Less Helping Them, More Healing You: The Transcendent Gifts of an Ancient Spiritual Practice (ACTA, March 2024).
