Mom is Just a Nickname

Let me conquer my fear and doubt that i might live with self-confidence, not ruled by my fears.

Help me to realize that it’s ok to doubt myself momentarily, but there’s no need to lose confidence in myself because of these doubts.  Help me to understand that doubts are not a reason to give up, but rather a reason to work harder.  Help me to understand that doubts are a step toward a new goal; giving in to them will only leave me further away from that goal.

Help me to realize that fears are normal; everyone has them.  It is how we deal with these fears that often defines who we are.  Help me to face my fears, to deal with them in healthy ways; help me to expose them to sunlight instead of hiding them in closets where they have the chance to grow larger and more frightening.  Let me face my fears, wrap my emotions around them and dispel them, that I may move forward into the world, stronger for having conquered each fear as it arose.

Let me conquer my fear and doubt, for by walking forward with the knowledge that I have faced my fears and surpassed my doubts, I go forward with knowledge, strength and empathy…both for myself and others.

Make me strong in spirit;

Courageous in action;

Gentle of heart;

Let me act in wisdom;

Conquer my fear and doubt…
