Focusing on self-compassion and embracing grace.
Dear God, grant me a heart of compassion towards myself. Help me to understand that growth is a journey, and to embrace each step along the way. I release any feelings of shame that may linger and am open to the grace You offer. May I learn to treat myself with love, understanding my worth as Your creation. Help me grow in empathy, both toward myself and others. Amen. (Ephesians 2:8; Psalm 103:12)
