I do not believe that we pray to our guides, thank them yes, but not pray to them. They are only too pleased to assist us on our path. Remember that our guides are not always right. We have the last say. I have heard some different people say that their guide does so much for them.
Guides are there to guide.
To guide us in our spiritual path. Our physical is our responsibility. We cannot ask them to take on our learning experiences and to, as the saying goes, do our dirty work. If we do not want to talk to someone, we say that our guides told us that we are not allowed to associate with them, that they are evil and have an entity with them. Please do not blame your guide for this or to blame them for what you have done yourself.
