I’ve been thinking about prayer, what prayer means to some of us who practice it. Prayer in its simplest form is a conduit, a way to communicate, to reach out for guidance, support or forgiveness. Whether we’re seeking comfort for ourselves or someone we love, prayer opens the door to connection and vulnerability.
On this Wise Walk let’s slow down and look at how prayer, whether rooted in faith, intention or personal reflection, can help us release, clarify and tap into our purpose. We’ll look at how asking for help and being open to receive can change not only how we feel but how we show up in the world. Join me as we embrace prayer as a tool for love, healing and connection.

- What is something weighing on you that feels heavy or emotionally charged?
- What is one thing you can ask for to help lift that weight and feel open to receiving support?
- If you’re feeling energized and in a good place, is there someone in your life who is struggling and could use help?
- What is something you can ask on their behalf to help them receive support or guidance?
- Are you open to asking for support, encouragement, or guidance to help you feel more connected to your purpose and what’s calling you?
- Can you embrace the possibility of hope by being open to asking for what you need?
- Are you open to receiving, even if it’s not exactly what you envision, but possibly something better?
- Can you remain open to what comes your way, knowing it aligns with what you are seeking and need?
- Do you recognize that by benefiting yourself, you also create benefits for others, as we all rise together?
- Can you be open to both asking and receiving?
- Was there a line in my and mom’s created prayer that resonated with you and inspires you to personalize it?
- What intention can you create today to begin your own communication with the universe?
- What can you ask for to align yourself with the right path and desired outcome?
- How can you remain open to receiving guidance and direction toward your purposeful life?
- What is the next step that will bring you closer to living with intention and purpose?
