Time to Pray

1) Write a sentence prayer about for three of your most pressing creative needs.

2) Create a symbol to represent that each of those needs.

3) Write the date and location of where you wrote the prayers and symbols.

4) Write a date two weeks from today in the same area.

5) Put the requests away for two weeks. (NO CHEATING!)

6) Pray about those requests over the next two weeks.

7) Return to the entry where you made those requests when the two weeks are up.

Write down answers to those prayers. Also write down answers that you are still waiting for. Finish your entry with a summary statement.

9) Reflect on what you have just written.

10) Pray a prayer of thanksgiving.

11) Share your experience with a trusted friend.

12) If this exercise was positive for you, then set another prayer appointment with yourself for tomorrow. Keep developing this habit it will serve you well all of your life.

13) If this exercises didn’t accomplish much for you or was negative for you, then give yourself some space from it. Put it away in your files and try the exercise again, on a happier day. You may be surprised at the results!

Happy Journaling!!

Purpose:
The purpose of this exercise is to develop your ability to communicate your needs by asking for help from some sort of Higher Power. Trust in something outside of yourself, takes experimentation and clear communication. If you are already following a spiritual path, then this exercise should inspire you to continue to pray regularly about your business, creativity process and related topics. Wherever you are on the continuum of asking for help and talking to a Power outside of yourself. I hope that this exercise will open your eyes to new possibilities in asking for help outside of yourself.
