Prayer

Sometimes what people call "prayer" is actually energetic manipulation and shaming. 

Empaths will always be able to feel it directed at them. 

If you want to pray for someone without coercion, a better option is 

coming to prayer without an agenda 
(even a biblically supported one),
 creating space 

around the person you're praying for
in which they are able

to feel unconditional love of God, hear his voice clearly in direction,
and choose life giving paths - allowing for the option

that maybe "life giving paths" could
look different than
you expect.
