Hoʻoponopono Prayer (piece by piece)

From thereisaway.org
  • Dear Father:  
    • Here we acknowledge the Creator who gives Unconditional Love.  If you believe that you are the result of an explosion or worse still that you created yourself, you are going to have a lot of trouble with this one.
    • The word Father means "Giver Of Life" and I am sure you realise that it has nothing to do with bearded patriarchs.
    • Addressing the Creator is fundamental to this process, since only the Creator can fix the mess that we (and our ancestors) have created.  
       
  • I am sorry
    • This statement opens the door to atonement.  The moment you take responsibility for any negative manifestation you experience or witness you also create an opportunity for healing.  
    • The apology is not directed to the Creator.  The Creator is Spirit and does not need nor care about apologies.  
    • The apology is an acknowledgement that we are sorry for whatever it is that we (or our ancestors before us) have done to cause the adverse circumstance to take place.
    • There is no need to grovel, just a simple "I am sorry" will do.
       
  • Please forgive me
    • We are asking for forgiveness for having forgotten how much the Creator loves us.
    • We are asking for forgiveness for having shut out the Creator from our lives and missing out on all the wonderful experiences that we could have had.
    • We ask for forgiveness with the absolute certainty that it has already been granted.  The Creator is Spirit and is Unconditional Love, incapable of experiencing feelings of anger, resentment and all the other ego related neurotic behaviours that afflict humans.
    • It is important to note here that Ho'oponopono practitioners never have to forgive anyone, since they realise that all wrongdoing is the result of their own wrong action or memories--past or present.  
  • I love you
    • When Jesus was asked "which is the greatest commandments of them all" he surprised everyone (typical) and stated "You shall love the Lord Your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind."
    • Love is a great healing power.  Sending the Creator an SMS of love will reverberate through your psyche and generate an immediate feeling of well being. 
    • Once again being pure Spirit, the Creator, does not need your love, but the very act of thinking loving thoughts will tune your mind to that frequency with remarkable and immediate results.
       
  • And I thank you
    • As stated  earlier, whatever your petition or concern, the moment you take responsibility for its occurrence and seek a way out--you are guaranteed a response.
    • Almost invariably the response will never be what you expect (or in some cases want)--but what you need to start the process of healing or reconstruction.
    • Your "thank you" is the acknowledgement that your petition has been heard and acted upon--that is all.

Today: a prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,
Today let me remember to put You first in my life: mind, spirit and soul. May I come to You with all my decisions and with all my concerns. I declare that You, Lord Jesus, are the champion and Savior of my life. I gladly and gratefully give all victory to You. As I go along my day doing Your bidding, Lord, let me come from a place of service, love and compassion. May Your Truth be spoken from my tongue and may you temper my tongue and mouth and anoint it so that the words I speak today are only those of love, thoughtfulness and encouragement. Please bless my life, Lord, and the lives of my family members and friends. Let us all serve you to the best of our ability. May we each listen and hear your guidance today. Bless all of humanity today and help us to come together to create the world You would have us live in, Lord. May every person on Earth know You and come to love You in their own way, Abba. Today bless the relationship between man and You, glorious Father. Show each of us how much You love us and let us praise You in return! Bless all of creation Father for it is good! Set right what is now in the wrong and make clear the murky waters. For all of these blessings I am so incredibly grateful. Thank you, Lord. You are a good, good Father who loves all of creation so very much. I love, adore, praise and worship You! Today let us begin anew in love with Your son who saves us all. Today let us find hope, joy and peace in that. Today is everyday.
In Christ,
AMEN
