ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS
Before I Ask To Be Understood
Prayers For Owning What I've Done


There are apologies we rehearse for years and never say out loud.

This short book is for those moments when regret lingers,
when silence weighs more than guilt and when the hardest work is not being forgiven but learning how to ask.

Before I Ask to Be Understood is a quiet, reflective short read about taking responsibility without self-destruction. It does not rush toward reconciliation or promise easy absolution. Instead, it stays with the difficult middle — where honesty trembles, pride loosens its grip, and courage looks more like kneeling than speaking loudly.

Through a series of poetic reflections and prayer-like meditations, this book explores:

• owning harm without collapsing into shame
• apologizing without humiliation
• facing words that cannot be taken back
• releasing guilt that no longer serves growth
• learning how to stand upright again after remorse

This is not a guide on how to be forgiven.
It is a companion for learning how to live honestly when forgiveness may come slowly — or not at all.

Written for thoughtful readers seeking peace over perfection, this book is best read slowly, returned to often and opened whenever the heart needs language for what it already knows.

Forgiveness, here, is not loud.

It does not demand closure.

It simply teaches us how to stop running.
