Prayers for Strength
A Prayer for Strength
The Soul’s longings are like seeds,
Out of which deeds of will are growing
And life’s fruits are ripening.
I can feel my destiny and my destiny finds me.
I can feel my star and my star finds me.
I can feel my aims and my aims are finding me.
The World and my soul are one great unity.
Life grows brighter around me
Life becomes harder for me
Life will be richer within me.
— Rudolf Steiner, PRAYERS AND GRACES, p. 74.
A Prayer to the Nine Ranks of Gods
In the weaving of the ether
Man’s web of destiny
Is received by Angels, Archangels, Archai.
Into the astral world
The just consequences of man’s earthly life
Die into Exousiai, Dynameis, Kyriotetes.
In the essence of their deeds
The honest creations of man’s earthly life
Are resurrected in Thrones, Cherubim, and Seraphim.
— Rudolf Steiner, PRAYERS AND GRACES, p. 62.
