Prayer to the Goddess

A Healing Altar

When I started writing this posting, I hesitated due to one word - that being the word "prayer".  I wondered where it was an appropriate word to use due to the heavy Christain associated with it, however other associated words such as "plea", "desire", "request", "hope" or even "petition" (a word I do personally tend to use) just simply did not have the right sounding.  According to an online dictionary, the word "prayer" does mean "religious observance" which is the context of the word I am after, so "prayer" it is.

The following is the first of a series of prayers that can be said to the Great Goddess, the Divine Feminine, during sessions of honouring and worship.  If there is a particular Goddess that you personally align with, then their name (and title) can be included wherever appropriate.

Prayer of Gratitude

Blessed Mighty Mother of Life, Death and Rebirth

She who ever was, ever is and ever shall be

I am grateful for the life that has been bestowed upon me

For the simple things that bring such joy

I am grateful for the events unfolding in my life

And know that whilst I feel overwhelmed by the challenges before me,

You walk forever by my side ready to bestow your wisdom and guidance upon me should I ask.

Gracious Mother, help me to face each moment with peace in my heart.

Help me open myself in trust and gratitude for the abundant lessons that are provided to me.

Assist me to walk in peace and humility of what is provided to me.

For I am fortunate in some many ways.

With the strength of you beside me
