Ehime Ora

“May everything I touch turn to pure gold and silver; may everything I create prosper beyond my expectations. May my hands be used to cultivate the goodness that is my birthright; may my hands remain open to receiving the Creator’s favor. Do not allow wickedness to be born out of my hands; may my hands lead me only toward opportunities that create positive action for myself and my community. May everything I receive be doubled in ways where I can properly invest in those around me, leading us all toward collective upliftment. Àṣẹ.”

“Orí, as I begin this journey to get closer to you, break me away from uncertainty. Allow me to believe these prayers are reaching you. Provide me with unshakeable faith on this journey to reconnection. Allow me to remain open to your wisdom. Carve out the best path for me to walk on. May hope remain at my side today. Even if bitterness arrives, let my perspective remain strong in faith. Let my day grow to be sweet with surprising blessings of wealth, relationships, and opportunities. May good luck and fortune never run dry for me. Àṣẹ.”
