#personal prayer

I am weary. Not just in my body, but deep within my soul a heaviness that sleep cannot lift, a weight that lingers no matter how hard I try to push through. I carry so much, Lord expectations, disappointments, silent battles, unspoken cries. I pour myself out, I show up, I try, yet sometimes it feels like there is nothing left.

God, You see me. You notice the burden on my shoulders, the exhaustion in my spirit. You witness the moments I want to give up, when I feel unseen, unheard, undone. You see the parts of me I try to hide the fear, the doubt, the ache of wondering if I am enough.

Hold me in this weariness. Surround me with Your love. Remind me that I do not have to carry it all alone. Remind me that You are my rest, my refuge, my strength. I don’t have to be enough because You are. I don’t have to have all the answers because You do. I don’t have to fight every battle because some belong to You alone.

Be my strength, God. Be my peace. Be the calm in the midst of my storm. And when morning comes, let me rise not just rested, but renewed.

Great Mars, War is upon us once more, Bombs falling on the innocent, All in the covert interest of profit

I don't know how we can Still be worthy of You, Mars, When we keep making the same mistakes Over and over again

I pray that you still find us Deserving of Your gaze, And I will do my best To embody Your ideals in this world

Please enfold my spirit under Your great mantle, that Your peace and grace might flow through me in this world, and all worlds to come.

Amadea.

Apollo 🎼 ☀️ 🦢

Praise to holy Apollo with the silver bow. Bright son of Leto and of Delphi. He of the oracle. Prophetic healer and foreseeing averter of harm. Light-bringer and destroyer of evil.

He of the locusts and the wolves. He of the python and the dolphin. He of the ash-trees. Rescuer and helper. Wandering physician. Far-worker and rouser of armies.

He who watches the heavens. Leader of the muses. He who protects the streets and bestower of Dionysus. Praise be to Apollo, shining light of the sun.

Hekate 🗝 🔥 🐕

Praise to mighty Hekate, destroyer and child of Perses. She of the underworld. She of the wayside and the crossroads. Irresistible and indomitable queen of those below. Holy bringer of light.

She who holds the keys. She who haunts the mountains. Nocturnal one. Fond of solitude and hidden. She who wanders in the night. Lovely and revered only begotten maiden.

Dua Ra, the great lord of strength, the shining one. I feel your heat beat down on me. I thank you for the trials you have given me, and am grateful for the strength that you provide. You, the King of Gods, keeper of Maat. It is for you that I move, for you that I challenge myself. Dua Ra!

Lady of life, great protector.

You are the mightiest of the gods.

My heart turns to you in awe,

You nourish my ka.

Show me the path that I may follow,

And give me the courage

To do what is good.
