Acceptance
is a state of non-reactivity and understanding. Acceptance does not mean 'approval' or that you condone what you are accepting. It means that you see something and know it for what it is, without having to need to change it. There are many ways prayer can prepare you for acceptance. To read more and try them, read below.


Understanding
is an extension of self; it develops out of an interaction that is a kind of communication between yourself and the one you understand. Understanding develops collaboratively. To read more and to be more open to Understanding, go here.
  Love is a value, an emotion, a state, and a way of communication. It is expressed in thousands of ways, universally across cultures. Love as a goal in prayer is a very high state of consciousness.Unconditional love is not blind; to give it without conditions you must see what is actually needed through understanding and acceptance of how it will be used. To read more and try different ways to be open to Love, go here.

The Quality of Acceptance

Acceptance is the widening of our vision so we have the ability to see more of the world without distortion or misinterpretation. Acceptance means that you see something and know it for what it is, without having the need to change it. Acceptance does not mean 'approval', or that you condone what you see, only that you see the whole picture. With Acceptance, we can more easily experience balance, forgiveness, and harmony.

These are the core aspects of Acceptance:

  • Seeing the world more clearly
  • Being more forgiving
  • Being merciful
  • Radiating Love in harmony with others and the forces of Life
  • Being responsible for my own life and not being a victim

Prayers of Acceptance


God of My Heart
, help me to see and to know things for what they are, both inside me and outside of me. Help me to allow things to be as they are, even when I wish them to be different.
Help me to experience the importance of Acceptance: that things as they are hold many gifts, and that if my eyes and heart are open I can learn from what things and people teach me.
Help me to remember that to be in the state of Acceptance means that I can truly move through the world knowing what I can and cannot change.
Amen


God of My Heart, help me to see with Acceptance today. Help me to see people for who they are, to see and accept the lightness and darkness of their souls. Help me not to judge others, and to understand in my acceptance what I must do to support what is healthy and to avoid what is not. Help me to use the same gift for myself, and to see myself without judgment but with complete Acceptance.
Amen


God of My Heart, help me to listen with Acceptance today. Help me to hear what people are saying, and what the true meanings behind their words are, without judgment or fear. Help me to know what I must do when I accept others’ words in consciousness and awareness.
Amen


God of My Heart, help me to experience Acceptance forone person today. Help me to see and to know one person I come across whom I may have judged, or sought to avoid, or sought to limit in my own fears, worries, and concerns. Help me to see this one person with fresh eyes, fresh ears, and an open heart. Where there is light in that person, help me to see and to know it. Where this darkness, help me to see and to avoid supporting it. And where there is a path they are trying to travel, help me to accept any role I can play to help them on their way.
Amen
