with. New beginnings are chances to start fresh, but they may not always feel
that way. Situations like a divorce can be very painful, and you may not want to

new beginnings are forced upon us. Other times we are able to make the
conscious decision that we start anew—those new beginnings are usually easier

that give us a hard time. This prayer is for those times. In this prayer to the
Goddess, feel free to insert your own specific deity where needed.
Great Goddess, Mother to us all, giver of life and creator of all things, life has
many twists and turns and now I find myself on a new, unexpected path— a new
path I am afraid to travel alone.
I ask for your guidance, and your loving, helping hand to support me on my
way.
I ask that when needed you will lead me in the right direction and steer me
away from wrong turns.
Help me to keep myself on the path and to not stray away even when I am
tempted.
Assist me in moving forward and not in reverse.
Comfort me when needed.
Bless my path and the journey I undertake on this path.
Encourage me in times of self-doubt.
Protect me from those willing to harm me, even if it is myself.
Embrace me in your loving arms, to give me peace and surround me in perfect
love and perfect trust.
