My Archetypal Prayer Card

by

scprayer

I do have a card in my deck for the part of me who believes in prayer, the part of me who prays.Ā  You can see it here.Ā  That card is more of a Committee card, an inner voice that represents a part of my inner self, my personality.

This card is also about Prayer, but Prayer with a capital P.Ā  I made it intuitively and when I let it speak to me, it was talking about prayer in a very different sense.

I am the one who stands for every prayer every prayed since the beginning of time.Ā  I stand for the power of prayer that is present whenever anyone anywhere lifts their heart or voice to the Divine.

My message for you today is this: at the end of every meditation time, yoga time, or any Quiet Time you create for yourself, add some prayer. Seek inner changes. Pray for yourself as well as for others.

Ask for what you need; it is always given.Ā 

The language that this Neter used when I asked it who it was, referred to something larger than myself, something larger than that one individual part of me who prays.Ā  This sounds more archetypal to me, so I have place it in my Council Suit of my deck.

Do you believe in prayer? Do you have cards in your deck for the part of you who prays AND for the concept of prayer that is applicable through all times and all cultures and all beings?Ā  Why not seek out some images and create them soon.

I Am the One Who Prays

by

scaskhelpThis is a Committee card from my deck. It represents an inner part of me, the part who prays, and who believes in the power of prayer.

Who are you?

I am the one who spent many hours on my knees in church, praying. I am the one who believes that Someone is listening when I pray. I am the one who feels comfort and deep connection to all living things when I pray. I am the one who believes in the power of gratitude and supplication.Ā  I am the one who prays for others, who prays for myself, who prays for the world.

What do you have to give me?

I give you solace.Ā  I give you sustenance. I give you a channel through which you can connect with the Divine energy that connects everyone and every living thing.

What do you want from me?

I want you to honor me by praying consciously every day. I want you to write your prayers sometimes as that seems to focus you more. I want you to remember that Spirit is always listening. I want you to know that even the smallest thing can be taken to Spirit in prayer.

Is there anything else you want to say to me TODAY?

Yes! I sense your distinct sadness over the death of Robin Williams yesterday. I urge you to close your eyes for a moment and offer your sadness up to Spirit. I suggest that you spend some time today praying for his family and for those who were close to him.Ā  This will soothe your heart and ease your sadness.Ā  You have been thinking that there is nothing you can do, but there IS something you can do.Ā  Use my energy to pray.
