This is the Litany of Beauty. The world tells us to change, fix, and mask parts of ourselves- but I'm here to boldly and honestly tell you that all of you, is BEAUTIFUL. The places you struggle to love within yourselves, are the very places God wants to breed the greatest glory out of. This small and simple prayer helped me in a time where I was learning to love myself, and I hope it can do the same for you.
A Litany is a series of prayers and petitions that declare truth in places we might struggle with.
*This prayer goes in detail with different aspects and characteristics of ourselves because different people struggle with different things. Feel free to use it and change it to fit your personal prayer*
