Letting Go

To a dear one about whom I have been concerned.
I behold the Christ in you.
I place you lovingly in the care of God.
I release you from my anxiety and concern.
I let go of my possessive hold on you.
I am willing to free you to follow the dictates of the indwelling Spirit.
I am willing to free you to live your life according to your best light and understanding.
Husband, wife, [significant other, father, mother, sister, brother,] child, friend,
I no longer try to force my ideas on you, my ways on you.
I lift my thoughts above you, above the personal level.
I see you as God sees you,
a spiritual being,
created in God’s image,
endowed with qualities and abilities that make you needed and important not only to me,
but to God and God’s larger perspective.
I do not bind you.

I no longer believe that you do not have the understanding you need in order to meet life.

I bless you,

I have faith in you,

I behold Jesus in you.
