Dealing with hurt from the past

 

Let the past be still now

Let all that is woken be comforted

Let all that is wounded and broken find peace

Let all the hurting memories be healed

Or held at least and blessed in solitude

May they return to where they belong now

Leaving new awareness 

Of ground gained

Life changed

Hope stirred

Love present

Past returned to its place

And put to rest now.

Peace to all

And light to the future

Wrapped in tenderness

Immersed in mercy.

Amen
