Excerpt from Faith Lifting Prayers

Dear God

Grant me the courage to face myself

And to give myself the permission to use my voice

For so many years

My inadequacy has bound my tongue

Inhibited my speech

And the things that I have wanted to say

Have been stuck in my throat

Words that needed to be heard

Lose their way on my tongue

So I swallow the words that are lost

And try to find new ones I feel anxiety

As people try to complete my sentences

Wanting a sentence to slip through my lips

But somehow it clings to my teeth

My words are drowned out

By fear of being judged and laughed at

But I have a voice that needs to be heard

We all do

As my voice finds its way

From my heart to my lips

And to the ears that are listening

May it be nourished and shaped by self-acceptance

I give thanks for my ability to speak my truth

And even though it isn't as smooth as I would like it to be

It is my voice and I own it

My words belong to me

And I will no longer judge how they leave my mouth

But bless them because they belong to me

Thank you

Amen

About the Author
Landsman, Gregory: - "Best selling author Gregory Landsman is one of the most noted beauty experts in the world and the author of six books on inner and outer beauty. His books include Face Value; Face Fitness; Face Food; Faith Lifting Prayers; A Prayer for Every Child; The Balance of Beauty Explodes the Body Myth; A Lifetime of Beauty; and Face Secrets. Gregory was born in South Africa under the Apartheid system and the harsh extremes of a society that judged its people purely on the color of their skin and their facial features. For over thirty years Gregory has worked in the beauty industry and discovered secrets and truths from around the world that can reignite youth and vitality naturally. The key to the success of his books and seminars can be found in his authentic approach to delivering real secrets and providing accessible solutions to look younger, feel younger and stay younger at any age. Gregory challenges the traditional concept of beauty and through his own transformational beauty philosophy he highlights the indelible link between inner and outer beauty, as we seek to live our best lives. Gregory's approach starts from the premise that we all want to look as good as we can for as long as we can, while living a happy life. From this base he explores the relationship between: - Physicality and spirituality; - Looking good and feeling good; and - Wellness and peace of mind. Gregory hosts the internationally distributed television show Face Lifting Food, based on two of his books, (Face Value and Face Food), that shows viewers how to prepare foods to help tighten and brighten the skin, and where to find the most powerful anti-aging ingredients in their own kitchens. Gregory is an expert commentator on beauty, wellness and body image who is engaged as a spokesperson for relevant causes including 'International No Diet Day'. As an inspirational speaker, his personal journey delivers an empowering message about overcoming tragedy and adversity through the power of self-belief. His story of beating the odds is motivating and uplifting, reminding people that life is not about limitations, but endless possibilities. Gregory is also the creator of the Dissolving Differences Program, that now sits within the Australian education system, endorsed by the Australian Teachers of Media. The Balance of BEAUTY Philosophy by Gregory Landsman - finding the path to true beauty inside and out. B Balance - a balance of inner virtue that radiates outwardly and shapes our beauty and our lives. E Enthusiasm - to show enthusiasm for who we are and all aspects of ourselves. A Acceptance - accepting ourselves as a whole without isolating or fragmenting beauty to certain physical characteristics. U Understanding - we were born whole and beautiful and along the way, educated to doubt it. But if we have the ability to create insecurity, we have the ability to eliminate it. T Trust - learning to trust in who we are and value what we represent in the world. Y You - you possess beauty if you are willing to see it in a more expansive way other than just the physical; and to never settle for anything less than in your heart you know you deserve. Gregory's Balance of BEAUTY philosophy underpins all his work and is shared with a global audience via TV, speaking appearances, books and media."
