Dear God, I find myself at this moment, in isolation. My freedom to follow my desires is limited by an external situation. I am confined to my surroundings and have to remain centered within my own sense of self. I ask that you guide me on how to approach this experience with openness and curiosity. Show me how to utilize my time in a way that will benefit my spiritual growth and evolution.

Dear God, hold me in your prayers. Remind me when I forget, and help me forget when all I do is remember. I see how these fears have been running my life and affecting my choices.
