Nope - again I'm no bible thumper, in your face religious person but man...
I know a lot of people who are having a hard time right now and I bet you do too. And it's obvious the world is in turmoil... Thoughts and prayers? Hell Yes! But I'm not trying to sell you the idea....
Prayer is a thing that works and there is a God for sure. I can tell you straight up that there are things going on behind the scenes that, if you are tuned in the right way, you can ALMOST SEE, even if we don't always understand. Synchronicity is a concept developed by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung to describe the experience of seemingly meaningful coincidences in one's life. Jung believed that these coincidences were not merely random events, but were instead indicative of a deeper underlying connection or meaning. He proposed that these experiences were a sign of the interconnectedness of all things, and that they could be seen as a form of communication from the unconscious mind. But if we add Tikkun to this concept, the repetitive themes and challenges we encounter in our lives have a deeper purpose and meaning... This is a huge discussion so I can't post it all here but if you want ask and I will get into it more in the comments.
Anyway, so this is for those of you who are in the s**t, or know others who are and need some help, especially if you don't know how to get that help. Just say it and you gotta FOCUS on your connection with your higher power while you say it. Kanavah is what that's called. (In the words of one sage, "Prayer without kavanah is like a body without a soul.") Don't just mindlessly repeat it. Try your best to connect and if your mind wanders just bring it back to the prayer and connection. Don't beat yourself up over it. Just do your best.
ONE LAST THING - Don't just pray this prayer. DO. Do something, anything, to follow up with how to solve your problem, research, advocacy, seek higher ups to help - - - Take ACTION. Don't worry about if you're doing it right or wrong, but be PART of the solution and Trust that God will guide you. Don't just push responsibility off on God. Do what you can in your little corner of the universe. Whatever that means to you.
It's not, "Jesus, take the wheel."
It's, "Jesus, come on down, let's party. And if you need a ride, I will scoop you up, and we'll roll!"
Anyway here's the prayer I crafter with a lot of help, let's just say.
"Most Radiant and Beneficent Source of All That Is,
We call upon your infinite love to shower blessings of healing, protection and prosperity upon all who suffer in this world. May your children who endure chronic illness, injustice, loneliness or spiritual darkness be divinely uplifted and made whole in body, mind and soul.
Extend your mantle of sacred shelter around those who lack the strength, knowledge or resources to advocate for themselves against oppression and affliction. For the meek who cannot find their voice, may your power speak through their circumstances and part the waters of adversity.
We pray that no person shall be abandoned to walk the path of pain and anguish alone. Just as you instructed the prophets to pray ceaselessly until the rains quenched the drought, we beseech you to unleash the restorative downpour of your healing grace upon the spiritually and physically parched of this world.
Let those words you spoke to bring forth all of Creation reverberate through the universe once more - "Let there be light!" Shine your radiant love into the shadows of sickness, poverty and despair so that new life may blossom forth.
For those of us who still carry sparks of hope despite our weariness, fan those flames into an inextinguishable blaze. Grant us the energizing breath of your spirit to persevere and become beacons of possibility.
If it is your divine will, amplify my own healing to such an degree that I may become a clear vessel through which your remedial light pours forth in abundant measure. Allow me to radiate your curative frequencies so that all in my presence may bathe in your balm.
For why should any of your children suffer interminably? You are the source that continually breathes new worlds into existence. Unleash that infinite creative potential to manifest a new reality for your beloved - one where our latter days overflow with peace, joy, connection and sacred celebration of your majesty.
We surrender all to your supreme wisdom, while simultaneously claiming the promises of renewal and restoration you have seeded throughout every tradition and scripture. Does not every story point towards the triumph of light over darkness, life over decay?
Then let it be so in the lives of all who hear this prayer. Bless us to become the embodied answers to our own deepest longings for healing, abundance and love without measure. Unleash heaven on earth through us.
With eternal gratitude, we joyfully receive and give thanks for these blessings to manifest as you deem worthy.
Amen"
