A Prayer for Recovery

Jesus,
You gave me this body, help me to respect it and honor it.
You gave me this life, help me to live it fully.
You gave me your body and blood, help me to appreciate spiritual and physical food.
You gave me unconditional love, help me to love myself and accept the love of others.
You gave your life on the cross, help me to place my suffering at the foot of the cross.
You gave forgiveness to all, help me to accept your forgiveness and forgive myself.
You gave me a purpose, help me to follow your will.
Amen.
