Eliminating the Victim Mindset
For many years, the Rabbis and Sages have taught on the importance of taking Personal responsibility. The Torah addresses this concept, but most modern societies, especially the American Christian,, promote a sense of “victim” mind-set. People often tell me they feel “powerless” and “out of control” in the events of their lives.
Each one of us has the opportunity to utilize the gift that God has given us. God makes Himself available to us to bring His Light into our lives. He asks that we seek the Light by recognizing His presence and involvement in our world. Our faith in God’s ability to help us is crucial in bringing His warmth and love into our lives.
Here is a prayer for us to use when we feel like we cannot control our lives:
I am not a victim.
The path I take is up to me.
I will be proactive and take control of my current situation.
I am suffering from (enter your specific affliction here) but I know God can bring healing.
With each breath, I am filled with the Light and restorative power of the Creator.
I focus the Light like a radar beam on the afflicted area. I see my internal chaos and push it away with God’s help.
As healing Light fills me, I focus on (pray for someone else’s need here).
My prayers for this person will send warmth and Light into their life and they will feel the love and protection of God.
