Prayer to Hades for hard times
This prayer was written by me, and is part of a series of prayers to recite when going through rough times. Everyone is going through the ringer right now, given the state of everything, so hopefully this can help you get through some tough things too. Enjoy!
Praise be to great Lord Hades, ruler of the underworld,
The fair judge of souls one meets upon death!
Your words are firm, and yet so gentle,
Like the tender mercy of death to the sickly,
And you provide for all in your kingdom,
Alongside all those who call your name in life.
For you are the great father,
The shepherd of the departed,
A good husband to your queen
And a fair ruler for the deceased within your care;
I pray to you, Lord Hades,
That you may guide me down a better path,
Like how Charon and Hermes guide souls to your realm;
Bestow upon me your wisdom
And share with me your tender blessings
As I cry out to you from this place of anguish.
You are the ultimate comfort for us mortals,
A promise of life after death,
A sweet relief from the pains of living,
And so I trust you to help me out of this pit,
To take me by the hand and guide me to a better life,
For you, O Hades, are so kind to humanity
And take such good care of us both before and after death,
And for this I shall praise your name until the end of time!
