Ecosophia Prayer List, Week of January 25
Jan. 25th, 2023 12:10 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
(NOTE: This is an old version of the list. All new prayer requests should be left at the most recent Prayer List post, which can be found here)
Here are all of the requests for prayer that have recently appeared at ecosophia.net and ecosophia.dreamwidth.org, as well as in the comments of the prayer list posts. Please feel free to add any or all of the requests to your own prayers.
If I missed anybody, or if you would like to add a prayer request for yourself or anyone who has given you consent (or for whom you hold power of consent) to the list, please feel free to leave a comment below.
If you are an anonymous commenter who has previously attempted to post a request to the prayer list, I just discovered recently that I'd had my blog settings set such that anonymous comments weren't able to post. My apologies to anyone who had problems. If you try again now, you should be able to get through.
If you are someone who is getting prayed for, status updates are appreciated but not required!
HOUSEKEEPING NOTE: I will occasionally, at my discretion, remove someone from the list. Of course do feel free to continue to pray on the behalf of people from previous weeks if you feel it appropriate. I removed the following entries from last week: Cookie the kitten (who I received word is doing well), Lloyd, and pleaidesdreaming. (If you'd like to go back on, simply make another request.) This will be the last week for the following entries unless the relevant parties request otherwise: Solarfed's mother Debbie, open_space's great aunt.
If there are any among you who might wish to join me in a bit of astrological timing, I pray each week for the health of all those with health problems on the list on the astrological hour of the Sun on Sundays, bearing in mind the Sun's rulerships of heart, brain, and vital energies. If this appeals to you, I invite you to join me.
Now, here is the current list.

Date: 2023-01-24 10:57 pm (UTC)Also - I'm in a different time zone to JMG, so missed the chance to reply to temporaryreality on the Magic Monday thread, but I wanted to say thank you for your concern, and to reply regarding your question: generally, yes, massage helps my wife, but only when her joints aren't already very painful! If they are, it unfortunately becomes agony to touch anywhere near them (it's a genetic condition which sometimes gets better or worse - currently it's in a "much worse" phase). I will check out the book you mentioned though, it sounds interesting.
Best wishes to you all.
Mr. Crow

Date: 2023-01-29 11:35 pm (UTC)I see someone being shipped off to Poland! I have doubled down on my daily prayers for peace.
I promised a while back to share what I've done that seems to help with arrhythmia and the related syndrome. I'll post it on JMG's corona page with due warnings that I'm only telling old wives' tales.

Date: 2023-01-30 12:09 am (UTC)You recall when we were at Kompira--did they tell you about the shaku having a front and back? My mentor gave me a shaku he had made, and we examined it together. One side had a little knot in the wood. That's the back, he said. And the way you use a shaku in ceremonies, you keep one side of it to yourself or face down. This view of the shaku sprung up at Kompira Honkyo, and is not known elsewhere. But you see the moral lesson within it: when people come to you for help, you never reveal it to others. If they have a flaw, you keep that to yourself.

Date: 2023-01-30 04:57 pm (UTC)Prayers for diligence and spiritual guidance
Date: 2023-01-31 07:09 am (UTC)Please could I be added to the list just for one week? I need spiritual help. I have been following a spiritual path but things are very difficult me personally right now and I am struggling to get a sense of true north and good guidance. I used to be involved in a church but that isn't something I have at present. My sense of the spiritual world has shifted a lot, I am hoping I can find a way to clarity again where I can benefit and learn from the divine grace. I am trying hard to get things sorted out but it's like I have just got to grips with the depth of the problems in my life so I am facing a lot of challenges. I am praying for strength and courage, and hoping that this is a time I can put to work what I have already learned and engage with the most pressing problems and find out how to draw on the divine help that is being offered to come through this time of challenge. I need to get things in place in my life that will help sustain me and continue to make the beneficial changes I need to make.

Re: Prayers for diligence and spiritual guidance
Date: 2023-01-31 02:59 pm (UTC)I've added you to the list. Please look over the description I've put and make sure that you're satisfied with it. To be clear, although you are praying for strength and courage, the prayers that you hope for from us are for spiritual guidance, is that right? I had a little bit of difficulty parsing what prayers you wanted exactly, and what I wrote above was my best attempt at it. Please do feel free to ask me to revise what I've written. I want to make sure that we are really praying for what you desire.
I don't know your situation, but as far as I see it, courage comes only with conviction, and conviction only arrives when one is sure of their path. So if you are in need of spiritual guidance, perhaps at first prayers might be more focused in that direction first and foremost? You can move on to prayers for courage once you have a better idea of what you wish to be courageous about.
Of course, if you already understand clearly what you need to be courageous about, then perhaps you have less need for spiritual guidance in this moment than you realized!

Date: 2023-02-01 06:25 pm (UTC)If you are in confusion, then spiritual guidance is an appropriate thing to pray for! So would be, clarity.
Prayers like this should probably be accompanied by some concrete steps of your own in the same direction. I'm sure you're already taking some, but if you haven't, say, gone to someone for advice who you trust, or tried writing out your current issues in one place, or done a little bit of journaling on the issues, or opened to a random page in a holy text that inspires you, or done anything else that you've found has brought you clarity in the past, a little effort coming from yourself can help such prayers manifest results.
Re: Prayers for diligence and spiritual guidance
Date: 2023-02-02 07:43 am (UTC)It's really kind of you to take the time to think about what might help. I do use a journal and I've made a list of your suggestions there. Now I've asked for this help I want to make the best use of it so I am going to make sure I spend at least half an hour working on this each day this week whether it's through journalling, asking for advice, or just spending extra time praying, including praying for clarity, you're right about that.
The prayer for the day on the radio station this morning after I got up was so helpful, it spoke right to the heart of my difficulty, so I am feeling encouraged already. I am getting the sense that the challenge for me here is about getting my disciplines in place to support me to carry through on my commitments, as well as to continue looking for what can be changed to make sure I get the encouragement I need to do that work I've undertaken in good heart. Serenity prayer stuff I guess.
Massive appreciation to all involved here. It's really special to be part of it. Thank you all.
