Divine Creator, Source of all love and light,
I come before You with open hands and a tender heart,
asking for Your grace to flow into the deepest places within me …
the places I’ve hidden, the ones I’ve forgotten,
and the ones that still ache with unmet needs and silent cries.
I lift up my inner child to You,
the part of me that once danced freely,
that once believed in magic,
that once trusted without fear.
I ask You to gently hold this child,
to cradle them in Your infinite compassion,
and to whisper truth into the lies they were told.
Where there was abandonment, pour in belonging.
Where there was shame, pour in dignity.
Where there was fear, pour in safety.
Where there was silence, pour in voice.
I release the burdens I was never meant to carry …
the guilt that was projected onto me,
the confusion of adult chaos,
the loneliness of being unseen.
I forgive myself for the ways I tried to cope,
for the walls I built,
for the masks I wore,
for the love I chased in places that could never give it.
I ask You to help me remember who I was before the world taught me to forget.
Restore my innocence, not as naivety,
but as sacred clarity …
the kind that sees beauty in small things,
that trusts the rhythm of joy,
that knows how to play,
how to rest,
how to receive.
Help me reparent myself with wisdom and tenderness.
Teach me to speak to my inner child with kindness,
to listen without judgment,
to honor their feelings,
to protect their boundaries.
Let me be the safe place they never had.
Let me be the voice that says,
“You are enough. You are loved. You are safe now.”
I ask for healing across timelines—
for the moments I remember and the ones buried deep.
I ask for healing in my body,
where memories live in muscle and breath.
I ask for healing in my mind,
where stories loop and distort.
I ask for healing in my spirit,
where the truth of who I am still shines,
even when dimmed by pain.
May Your light illuminate every shadow.
May Your love rewrite every false narrative.
May Your presence be the balm that soothes every wound.
I thank You for the courage to face this healing.
I thank You for the strength to stay present.
I thank You for the grace that meets me here,
again and again,
until my inner child no longer hides,
but dances freely in the light of truth.
Amen.
