The Power Of Prayers

I talk about the true power of prayers. I use prayers within the base of meditation to be open and receptive to that positive energy. I also talk about Pope Leo XIV. There's some deep help we can receive when we meditate and pray.

A very big aloha.

I'm Rev.

Cindy Paulus,

And I'm going to talk about something I don't usually talk about today,

And it's the hope of a new Pope.

I have always been a Christian,

And I also have been open to practicing Buddhism,

And I've never closed my mind to any form of what comes through people,

Because I believe that's important when we follow the path,

Is to be open to what we're being guided by God and Spirit.

But I have to say very deeply I'm extremely impressed by what the new Pope is doing.

I've never seen anything quite as bold as what he's doing.

One of his first acts was to draw the guards in to his presence,

And this usually is not done.

There's quite a history of what you do,

And he all drew them in to talk to them,

And he asked for their prayers,

And he asked also that they include their prayers when they do their service and their work,

And it's pretty beautiful and powerful.

He prayed,

And he prays to Michael,

The Archangel Michael,

And I think that's a lovely thing to include and do,

And I have been doing prayers to Archangel Michael for,

Gosh,

I don't know,

As long as I can remember pretty much,

And so it's brought up some interesting things.

I mentioned to some people about this,

And they said,

Well,

Yes,

I pray to Michael,

And I do that every day as well.

So all of a sudden it's become like,

Well,

Yes,

This is good to have out in the open.

Michael is a powerful,

Powerful guardian,

A powerful being,

And it's so nice to know that there are others out there.

I mean,

I pray that Michael,

Archangel Michael,

Is in front of me,

And he's behind me,

And to the right of me,

To the left of me,

Above and below me.

I pray for his guidance,

And it's also good when we're doing our prayers,

And you might be doing this already,

Many people do,

Is to include a circle of people you know.

Now,

I'm going to start including the Pope in my prayers.

I already include in my prayers people I know who are going through challenging times or have asked for prayers.

I have members of my family I include.

I have those doing special work that I work with included in the prayers,

And so it's a circle of energy and light that you can include when you do your prayers and your meditation,

That you can send that light,

And it's a very easy and powerful and wonderful thing to do,

And basically you just go inside,

And when you're praying,

You just go to that highest place,

That highest place within,

And you send that light as if it was a beautiful living beam of light that was coming down from heaven.

You ask heaven to guide that light,

And then that light then be guided to that person for the highest good that they have,

And this is one thing I've learned over time.

It's one thing for our prayers to wish to be what we wish them to be for the other person,

But we have to always respect that we may not know.

We may not know it's best,

So we always have to have the intercession of the highest light going through God to that person,

And of course that's going to be much more powerful and much more practical than what we could do within ourselves,

So we're just still praying to God while we're praying for the other person,

Right?

We're not just using our own blessing,

But the blessings that are given by God to be used in the highest way,

And that way we don't influence the prayers because actually it may not be able for us to really understand what is really best.

We just don't have that kind of power and vision to know how God works because God works in mysterious ways.

God works in very mysterious ways,

And we never know the timetable and what's right and what's needed,

So we have to,

And I've learned over time,

We have to really believe and trust in that process,

And it's not a matter of what we want.

I know we all have our own wants,

Of course,

But we don't really know sometimes what's best,

Even though we may think we do,

And that's the thing that's interesting,

Too,

Because how many times do people ask you to pray for them,

But then again,

What they want for their prayers is not necessarily what you want to directly answer.

You want to have that going through the one source,

The one ability to go through the highest source of God to get that intercession done in the way that's really for the highest good for the person and those around them as well,

So it's a wonderful thing to be able to understand that process,

And it's a simple thing.

It's not a difficult thing,

But when you do this,

When you're doing that in your whatever way you do at night,

Maybe before you go to sleep or in the morning,

Or maybe as part of your meditation process,

I like to include it in my meditation process when I meditate in the morning to do my meditation and prayers,

But then also at the end to send that energy out in prayers,

And again,

To the people in the circle or people who've been asking for prayers and allow that to be something that I turn over to God to be in charge of,

To do,

So that's really a simple and wonderful thing to include.

Let's just take a little moment or two and go inside,

And let's just take that time to make that interconnection and sense how it changes.

Every time,

Every time I take a moment,

And I do every morning,

Take a moment to go inside and pray,

And go to the source in meditation,

Something changes from just closing your eyes,

And of course,

You go through the process of what you do in meditation.

Close your eyes,

You breathe,

You know,

You breathe deeply,

And you straighten your body up,

And you take the time to look within,

And I see always whatever colors are going on,

And and as soon as I notice that,

Then of course the clarity,

It's like focus comes,

And you just continue the breath,

And let the breath sweep your mind,

And you continue to send that energy around you,

And you ask for the protection above you,

And below you,

And to the right,

And to the left of you,

In front,

Behind you,

Until you're in a precious circle of light,

Protective,

Wonderful light all around you,

And you just go a little deeper now in this lovely space within,

And if you're going to be including the prayers now,

You can just ask,

You just ask,

You ask,

God please,

From the highest source,

In your highest wisdom,

And love,

And knowledge,

Please include,

And then include the people that you wish to have the prayers said for,

And you can say the situation,

And you can ask for God to deal with it in the best way possible,

And you certainly have the right to,

You know,

Ask if it's for the best,

And what that situation is,

So let's just take a moment,

And I'm going to let you do that now as we go within,

And and take that moment to connect with God,

To ask for the prayers to be sent for the highest good,

Again your family,

Your circle of friends,

And for any guidance that you might need in your life,

Some guidance maybe in what you wish to create as the best way to serve,

The best way to help,

The best way to heal,

The best way to accomplish what your goal in life is,

What your mission in life is,

And then just let that come like a download,

Let it come to you,

Do you sense anything,

Do you sense the difference,

Breathe it in deeply,

Just absorb it through your breath,

Let it completely guide you,

And protect you,

And fill you with that wonderful energy that comes from the highest source,

Feel it,

Believe it,

Love it,

Be grateful,

Oh so grateful for it,

And if you get any guidance,

Take the time,

Take the time to go ahead and follow what guidance you might have gotten,

And let yourself be directed by that higher energy,

That higher sense,

That beautiful lovely source of God directing and protecting and working with you,

And Archangel Michael and Raphael,

And all the wonderful guardians that work with the Holy Spirit and with God,

And take that time to come out slowly,

And be aware of any shift,

Any words,

Any energy that might have come to you,

That might be a little different,

That might be needing some attention,

Or wanting some attention,

Or how you receive that lovely attention with your intention,

And slowly remember,

You know,

You are always there in the presence of the highest,

And be grateful,

So grateful for this lovely presence,

And for your life,

And for the way you can give and use it,

And I am ever,

Ever so grateful to you for this wonderful time together,

And I send you my love and blessings always.

I also pray to archangel Michael daily. This was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world. You are so very appreciated 🙏🏼

Thank you for this beautiful reflection on prayer 🙏🏻
I too include Pope Leo in my intentions. We need more light and love in this world and he can be an inspiration.
I also pray to Michael for protection🛐 the power of prayer is amazing and transformative. May you continue to be blessed🙏🏻

Beautiful guidance on how to connect with prayer to our loving power source of God. When I'm down, I sit in my prayer chair and visualize my spirit being recharged by the loving light of Almighty God. I also listen carefully to the "spiritual nudges" I get while in my prayer connection. 🙏 It isn't always what I want to hear or do 🤣 but I am confident in the message! 🌟
