'This creature' means Prophet, I guess?

What does 'into deck' mean? Shuffled into your deck? Or put ontop of it?

Put on top of deck, like reverse time.

I actually disagree.  Assuming you're putting prophet back on top of it's owners deck, the cost is  :time (summoning cost) + delay of turn and possible cc +  :light/ :time for the ability cost + dead draw the next turn - utility value of reuse.  Compare that with 3 :light/2 :light for blessing/improved blessing.  I honestly think that even though prophet gives a reusable blessing, its intrinsic costs balance it, and maybe even make blessing/improved blessing more useful.
Walk towards the :light...

I agree with this. Spells often have a much higher cost than the equivalent creature ability because, even though a spell is a 1 shot deal, it is also much more difficult to stop than a creature with an ability.

Consider Antimatter vs Purple nymph, for instance. AM costs 8 :entropy while the nymph's ability costs 4 :entropy ...

This card is further balanced by "dead draw" cost (aka card advantage cost). This is typically weighted at about 2 :underworld per card. So I think everything works out pretty well.

I actually think it would be cool to have this as a :light creature with a :time activation cost since we already have a :time card with a :light ability (sundial)...

It would also be a wonderful candidate for a hybrid :time / :light card. (see http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,46114.0.html )

At any rate, its a very cool card idea. (Nice art too).

Good job!

Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
If your zombie plan is
kill -9 `ps l | awk '{print $2" "$3" "$9}' | grep "Z" | awk '{printf("%s ",$2)}'`

Normally, I hate reusable buff cards, but this is surprisingly good. I approve :D

It can prevent you from decking out and buff one of your creatures at the same time.
