#12 | The Unseen Connection: Your Prayers, The Universe, and Unconditional Love
Discovering the profound truth that every heartfelt whisper is always heard and lovingly answered
Beloved souls,
Sonia Choquette's wisdom offers a beautiful truth, reminding us that the sacred act of prayer is far simpler and more accessible than our minds often attempt to complicate.
Whisper of Wisdom✨
“Praying is simply talking to God or to the Universe regularly and asking for love and support as you journey through life. And because you are loved unconditionally and treasured by God and the Universe as a Divine Child, your prayers will always be answered, even if not precisely how you expect them to be.”
―Sonia Choquette (Ask Your Guides)
It is, at its heart, a natural, daily conversation with the Divine, a tender way to consciously invite streams of love and support onto your unfolding life's journey.
This perspective, woven into the very soul of "Echoes of Our Universe," gently unveils the profound truth that we are never separate. We are, instead, an integral, shimmering thread within this grand, loving symphony of existence.
When the path ahead feels veiled in confusion, when the heart yearns for clarity and a sense of belonging, this message beautifully affirms our inherent divine value and our undeniable, eternal connection to something boundless and infinitely larger than ourselves.
As Sonia so tenderly suggests, the gentle act of speaking to God or to the Universe is an act of deep soul connection, a sacred moment of communion. It is a practice deeply rooted in self-love and radical acceptance, a profound remembrance that you are already treasured beyond measure, already unconditionally loved by the very fabric of creation itself.
This is not about earning worthiness but embracing the luminous truth of your divine nature.
In this gentle surrender, this tender release, we create a hallowed space within for clarity and divine guidance to emerge, inviting profound insights and fostering a true, abiding inner peace. Just as a child trusts their loving parent, knowing their every need will be met, we are invited to trust that our prayers are always answered, even when the form of the answer may surprise and enchant us, leading us to a deeper, more mystical understanding of our path and purpose.
This aligns perfectly with embracing the exquisite, flowing rhythm of life rather than striving to force your own, trusting with deep certainty that the Universe holds a breathtaking plan, even when it is not immediately apparent to your eyes.
Transformed into an Intention💡
Today, I embrace prayer as a loving conversation, opening my heart to unconditional love and trusting that every request is heard and met with divine support, even if the answers unfold in unexpected ways.
What I Want Most for You✨
May you feel the profound comfort of knowing you are always heard, always loved, and always supported on your unique and beautiful life journey.
Namaste,
💜 Lavender
Interconnectedness✨
Within the symphony of Echoes of Our Universe, we find this same truth touched upon or shared by others. Let us pause to contemplate these kindred voices, each illuminating a facet of our profound interconnectedness.
“Your Miracle is not something that just appears out of thin air. It is the result of everything you've been doing to align yourself with your highest self, your deepest desires, and your true purpose. Every prayer you've prayed, every intention you've set, has been heard. Every thought you've focused on, every vision you've held in your heart, has been seen.”
—Neville Goddard
“This law explains the creative process. It also explains prayer. Prayer is the movement that takes place between Spirit and form with and through you.”
—Sandy Gallagher
“Do you know the majority of prayers that are offered from physical humans are from a place of utter disconnection of that which they are hoping to receive? And so man, in his effort to pray and receive guidance, actually increases his separation between who he really is and the God that he is reaching for. Jerry and Esther have a dear, dear friend who is a minister — he has been a minister of more than one church — different denominations, and says to his congregation on a rather regular basis, "I used to pray for God, but he was always out to lunch." And we say, "You must be in vibrational alignment before you know that which you are reaching for." And when you are in vibrational alignment, the lack of separation is something that you know viscerally. You know vibrationally, not so much intellectually. And then, of course, to be in sync with that energy and feel infinite intelligence pouring through you. In time, you have all answers to all questions.”
—Abraham Hicks
“Meditation is the highest form of prayer. In it, you are so close to God that you don’t need to say a thing. It’s just great to be together.”
—Diane Ahlquist (Moon Magic)
“Prayer is communicating with God; it’s a two-way conversation.”
—Praying Medic (Dream Interpretation Made Simple)
“Faith is the belief that you have the power to do all things. It is a magnetic power that attracts the answer to your prayer. Results do not come by chance, accident, or fate. They are molded by your faith in your power through God.”
—Robert A. Russell (God Works Through Faith)
“You can revitalize your relationship with the entire Universe through prayers. Your prayers need not have religious connotations. You can talk to the Universe as if you are talking to a friend.”
—Abundance No Limits (How to Be Aligned with the Universe)
“Prayer is the master key. A key may fit one door of a house, but when it fits all doors, it may well claim to be a master key. Such and no less a key is prayer to all earthly problems.”
—Neville Goddard
“In the creation of individual reality, thought control, or what some might call prayer—is everything. Prayer? Thought control is the highest form of prayer. Therefore, think only on good things, and righteous. Dwell not in negativity and darkness. And even in moments when things look bleak—especially in those moments—see only perfection, express only gratefulness, and then imagine only what manifestation of perfection you choose next. In this formula is found tranquillity. In this process is found peace. In this awareness is found joy.”
—Neale Donald Walsch (The Complete Conversations with God)
“The Buddhist, the Christian, the Moslem, and the Hebrew all may get answers to their prayers, not because of the particular creed, religion, affiliation, ritual, ceremony, formula, liturgy, incantation, sacrifices, or offerings, but solely because of belief or mental acceptance and receptivity about that for which they pray. The law of life is the law of belief, and belief could be summed up briefly as a thought in your mind.”
—Joseph Murray (The Power of Your Subconscious Mind)
“Prayer allows you to direct the expression of your thoughts at a higher spiritual being. Praying mindfully searches your heart and mind — allowing you to illuminate your inner thoughts, intentions, and motives.”
—Betterup.com (What is Inner Work®? It’s the key to being a better leader)
“Prayer from the heart can achieve what nothing else in the world can.”
—Mahatma Gandhi
“Whether prayer changes our situation or not, one thing is certain: Prayer will change us!”
—Billy Graham
“Absolutely everything, ranging from small to large, as you make it a part of your believing prayer, gets included as you lay hold of God."
—The Bible (Matthew 21:22 MSG Version)
"The desire for prayer is itself a prayer."
―Georges Bernanos
Want to dive in deeper?
What I love about the power of words is that they allow us an opportunity to see, feel, observe, understand, and reflect simultaneously.
Let us explore the quiet power of prayer and the profound trust that blossoms when we know we are truly connected.
Take a moment to walk through the following Reflection Prompts.
You can journal your reflections, sit and meditate with them (and see what arises from within), do something creative (like painting or drawing), or move your body (like walking or yoga) to allow them to deepen and whisper their truth.
If one particularly speaks to you, leverage that as an indicator to dive in deeper.
Reflection Prompts
Gently bring your awareness to your heart space. What emotions arise when you contemplate the idea that your prayers are always heard by a loving Universe, even if not in the way you expect? How might embracing this feeling of being heard profoundly impact your sense of connection and belonging?
Recall a time in your life journey when a desire or need was met through what felt like divine intervention or an unexpected blessing. What insights did that experience offer about the subtle ways the Universe communicates and responds to your deepest longings?
Where in your life are you holding onto a rigid expectation of how support should appear? What gentle, courageous step can you take today to release that expectation and open yourself to the limitless ways divine love and support can show up for you?
