Prayers with Purpose, Petitions to the Universe

I petition the universe that I may release the need for anything apart from where my body takes me spontaneously, I release the wish to control this and point out its inadequacies and corrupt its beauty with my mind.
I petition that what it shows me becomes part of who I am, that I am open to integrating it fully and with love, but that we are also more than the body, more than we will ever know.

I petition the universe that my father be gathered up in arms of love and compassion. That he can rest his head and heart in faith. That his soul may blossom with courage. And that he finds peace in these dark days.

I also petition the universe that I, as his daughter, can walk authentically by his side through his winter. That I might find footprints to guide me through the snow. That we may come together with carrot and coal to build a glorious snowman to honour the relationship we have had these thirty-two years. And that I find the presence of mind, heart and soul to hold onto these treasures when his snow melts into spring.

With thanks.

I invoke the Goddess of dealing with avoidance to help me with standing up for what I need and want and feel, in order to help with life's conflicts and bumpy places. In the service of authenticity, clear communication and clearing away old patterns of relating. That she helps me in the way I should express myself around this, to say when I can't do something, when I can do something and to express and receive rage, anger, sorrow, shock, irritation and all the many other emotions that I will have to face. To stand up to the realities of changing times and changing perceptions and changing states and to risk in order to change my life towards love. And so be it.

I petition the universe to help me to let go of the physical and emotional issues that are currently keeping me from moving forward. I wish to let go of the memories in my body and mind that are not allowing me to live freely, happily and in balance. I want to feel better, please.

I posted a petition here in November. Very recently I had it answered. Its funny because I got what I asked for and now I don't know what to do next. I'm taking it slowly and cautiously. I wanted to share that it did happen and I am very thankful.

I found this at www.gratefulness.org, and thought it might be appreciated here:

If you want to receive divine light, pray. If you have begun to make progress and want this light to be intensified within you, pray. And if you have reached the summit of perfection and want to be super-illumined so as to remain in that state, pray.

I petition for a healthier lifestyle.

And the banning of smoking cigarettes in public places.  Go outside and ruin your own lungs, k?

I also petition for my dad to stop smoking.  Please.  For real this time.

 I petition that I let myself receive the winter warming I need as Christmas approaches, in spirit, heart, family and friendship:

....no longer just have the role as the "good girl" but that I may reclaim my lively, expansive Loves and all that means, little by little.
Also that friends may expand (in spirit not necessarily in size!) with me on the journey together and we may start all having and seeing more clearly the beautiful time and space that surrounds. That all that is to be pruned away, I can let go.  ...And so be it

Help me to learn to have more trust in my own body. 

I resonate with the one-sided friends thing earlier this week on live journal.
I have actually been thinking on the way home that all I need to do is to believe I am worth more.

So I petition the universe that I attract into my life from this point only events, experiences, friendships/relationships that lead to me feeling healthy, whole, alive and believing in the wonder of life and where there is a two way intrinsic agreement of giving all that can be at that time  and receiving all they can be at that time.
