What is the right way to pray for me?

I’m not sure there is one. Which may be why my #prayerlife feels inadequate. I may not like the status quo however I do like having at least some basic rules or guidelines for things. That way I know when I’m breaking them. I don’t really feel like I have any guidelines for #prayer

Being #Episcopalian I do like community prayer, the kind done during worship services. I also like the prayers included in the Daily Offices of Prayer for All Seasons & the St. Helena’s Breviary, which are the 2 prayer books I use mostly frequently (aside from the #BCP ) That said, I’m not convinced every prayer done in a group or in public needs to begin with “the Lord be with you” It feels to formal or something for extemporaneous prayer.

I’ve been told that prayer is like a conversation with God, in which case, I pray a lot, although I don’t always address God by name. Some might call it thinking but there is a difference #ContemplativeKnitting #Introduction

Replied in thread

@amPennyfeather thanks! I’m interested to see how it goes as well (since in many ways I’m making it up as I go along)!

I’m debating whether to share likes to my Mastodon on other platforms (I did share it to Bluesky already but not sure about Insta, FB, etc.) And I’m also trying to figure out how I want to organize the content since I’m already finding references to resources I want to investigate further not to mention I think each chapter will inspire multiple spiritual reflections (considering creating a thread per chapter with each reply being a separate reflection but idk 🤷🏻) For fun, I’ve benchmarked my current follower & following count to see if there is any change by Pentecost though growing my sphere of influence isn’t really one of my goals.

Feel free to comment at any point along the way, one of the things I am sure about is that both #prayer & #knitting grow in groups!

During the liturgical season of Easter, I’m using the book CONTEMPLATIVE KNITTING as my daily devotional & discipline. My reasoning behind this is two-fold. First, my #prayer life could be better, or at least more robust. I don’t pray without ceasing, however, I almost knit that way. Maybe the habit will rub off. And second, as I have alluded to, I am starting a #FiberArts business, specifically #Knitting & #crochet One of the things I am determined to do is only do business with individuals & organizations who share my values. This discipline will help me identify & explore them.

#ContemplativeKnitting is not your typical devotional although the author, #JulieCicora is an #Episcopal priest. To get through to the chapter on #Evangelism by #Pentecost I’ll need to read a couple chapters a week. Each chapter contains questions for further reflection, so I will be tooting my #SpiritualReflections as I encounter them.

Lord of Hosts
Of weary travelers seeking shelter

Lord of the aegis
Thunder in your hands

Lord of the storms
That frighten man and beast alike

Lord of the heavens
And all the gods that there dwell

Lord father of wisdom
That ever wily goddess

Lord father of the prophet
That ever strong god

Lord husband
Of the fierce goddess of heroes

Lord brother of the sea
Whose power shakes the very earth

Lord brother of death
That god who reigns over the dead

Lord Zeus, Dieus Piter
God the father
Lord of all you survey
Father of gods and men
Father of heroes that shape history
And Heroines that observe and lament
In your name we live
In your name we share
In your name we open our arms
To those most in need

Gracious Lord
God of the roads
Where travelers walk
Merchants carry their wares to market
And thieves search for their marks

Gracious son of Zeus
Angelic lord of the range
Of the pastures for grazing
The goats on the hills above
And the farmers keeping them

Gracious Hermes
Son of Maia
Thief of the sacred cattle
Creator of the lyre
A gift to the radiant Apollo

Gracious Psychopompos
Leader of the somber parade
Of the shades of those now gone
Down into the Earth
Where Hades and Persephone await

Wenn #Christofaschisten „beten“:

#Prayer.

Prayer. The firepower of God’s saints, besides all of the guns and ammo they stockpile under their beds. When Christofascists everywhere call on the power of prayer, shit happens. Well, usually. Often? Occasionally? Coincidentally?
