To They which know us,
Our successes and our struggles,

Show us today the healthy ways
We can set proper boundaries.
Boundaries that protect our health,
Mentally,
Physically,
Emotionally,
Spiritually.

We are walking away from religious structures
That contained too many boundaries;
Walls that closed out and closed in.

We don’t want those tires of walls in our lives,
But we recognize the value of boundaries
For those of us who have a hard time saying no,
For those of us who, in being welcoming, welcome an unhealthy balance.

Help us to know ourselves better,
Help us to recognize wise choices
So that we don’t harm ourselves in our humility.
So that we don’t overwhelm our lives and surrender our sabbath.

Guide us into balance today.

Amen.
