How to Pray for Your Cat
You don’t need perfect words—just a willing heart. When you pray, hold your cat close or whisper over their name. Speak like you’re talking to an old friend. Gratitude first, then love, then trust.
Try this simple rhythm:
- Light a candle or sit in silence.
- Say thank you—for companionship, for comfort.
- Ask for what’s needed: healing, protection, joy, or peace.
- End with surrender—“Your will be done, Lord.”
Make prayer your rhythm, not your ritual. Journal each prayer. Write how your heart shifts, how faith expands through fur and stillness. That’s pet caretaker spirituality—the slow holiness of showing up.
