Home / Bert Hellinger’s Energy Prayer: The words to read when your strength runs out
I’ve been returning to Bert Hellinger’s Energy Prayer for years, especially when my strength scatters, when I’m struggling with what’s happening or wanting reality to already be different. Not every sentence speaks to me equally. Some words I pass over, and one sentence can catch me exactly where I am.
Hellinger touches here on something I know well: the amount of strength we invest resisting what already exists. To see reality as it is doesn’t mean agreeing that everything is fine, giving up on change, or staying in a place that hurts me. It means starting from what is here now.
This recognition returns something to my hands. The pain is present, the circumstances are as they are, and from meeting them I can clarify what matters to me now, what I want to keep, what I need, and where I want to direct my strength.
This is how I suggest reading this prayer: without looking for a truth you must accept in its entirety and without trying to agree with every word. Read slowly and notice the sentence that asks you to stop.
*I translated the text as a woman’s reading, because I am a woman, but the energy prayer is addressed equally to all genders. Read it in whatever way is comfortable for you.

Every day from today,
I am enveloped in the infinite beauty of grace,
Even if I encounter setbacks, I will know – this too is an expression of love,
And they will soon pass.
Every day from today,
I rediscover my innocence,
I am interested in those around me,
I am connected to nature and listen to everyone.
My body heals,
My brain sharpens,
All my body’s cells are filled with vitality.
Every day from today,
I am full of good energy,
Miracles and love will always be with me,
I know I have become a messenger of love,
I express my inner love in warm words
And express sincere wishes,
To make everything around me shine.

In different readings of this prayer, different sentences stop me. Not necessarily the most beautiful ones, and not those I easily agree with either. I’m interested in the sentence that stirs something in me within the life I’m living now.
You can linger on it and notice what happens. Relief, sadness, anger, or resistance might arise. Even the desire to say “that’s really not true for me” tells something about the place where the sentence met you.
That’s one of the things I love about reading Hellinger. I don’t need to agree with his words for them to meet me. Some remain in the text, some continue with me, and others make me rethink where I’m investing my strength.
This question—where is my energy going now—is for me the heart of the prayer. How much of it is invested in fighting what already exists, and how much remains for me to meet reality and choose my next step. I also wrote about this tension between influence, responsibility, and control in the article Life won’t follow your plan: Bert Hellinger on the illusion of control.
If you came to the Energy Prayer because your strength ran out, you don’t need to take all of it. Choose the sentence that stopped you. Take it with you.
