Father Richard Rohr recommends an alternative take the Welcoming Prayer as a practice to help us surrender to God, Reality, and Love with each moment:  
Spiritual teacher Mary Mrozowski (1926–1993) composed and first taught what is now called the Welcoming Prayer... The Welcoming Prayer helps us find serenity through surrender in the midst of messy, ordinary moments. When feeling triggered or caught by something unpleasant, begin by simply being present to your feeling, experiencing it not just mentally, but also emotionally and physically. Don’t try to rationalize or explain the feeling, but witness and give attention to this sensation. Welcome the feeling, speaking aloud, if you can: “Welcome, [anger, fear, hunger, longing, etc.].” Repeat this as many times as you need to truly sense yourself embracing and receiving the feeling. Some people pray the Welcoming Prayer regularly—even daily is probably not too much! Popularized by my dear friend and mentor, the late Thomas Keating (1923–2018), it is this simple and this hard:  
Welcome, welcome, welcome.  
I welcome everything that comes to me today 
because I know it’s for my healing. 
I welcome all thoughts, feelings, emotions, persons,  
situations, and conditions.  
I let go of my desire for power and control.  
I let go of my desire for affection, esteem, approval, and pleasure.  
I let go of my desire for survival and security.  
I let go of my desire to change any situation,  
condition, person, or myself.  
I open to the love and presence of God 
and God’s action within. Amen.
