A prayer (petition) for peace

From  Duffy.

Upon waking each morning, I say hello to God and thank Him for the good that will come today, for His love, care, protection and provision for myself, my family, and all of His children. Yet often, not that much later in the day, I find myself thinking – what is going on in this world we live in; being barraged by stories of violence, abuse, countries fighting and lack of homes, food or safety.

My prayer…
Please, Father Mother God, show me how to pray, to be effective and confident in my prayer. I am so grateful to have you to turn to. I am so grateful for the knowledge of your love for all your children on earth. Let me see good and only good. Let me feel your presence moment by moment. I am sure of God as all, so nothing else can penetrate my thinking.

By knowing God’s allness, I am protected from aggressive mental suggestions. Please let me stay connected to you, Father Mother God, every minute. Help me to love everyone without judgment: to see each human being as your child regardless of ethnicity, religion, politics, race. Make my love so big that politicians, terrorists, foes, friends and family are all included, encompassed by my love, a love that is pure and boundless. Make my love so big that I lose all fear. Thank you, Father Mother God.

If each one of us did what we knew to be divinely, innately right, moral, loving, ethical, there would be no war, violence, homelessness, or poverty. As human beings who loved integrity, truth, doing right, — being moved by love for our neighbors – we would all be living and working together in God, Mind, Principle.

“The way to extract error from mortal mind is to pour in truth through flood-tides of Love.” (S&H 201:7) Flood this universe with love, with knowing man’s perfection. Cherish our unique, individual selves as reflections of the one Perfect God. Loving our neighbor is never wrong or cumbersome. Our opportunities to share love are our opportunities to share God, Spirit. Sharing God will always be right and a joy. Our love must include all people, everywhere!

I want to see myself be brave. Brave enough to live the Christ; knowing the blessing it will bring. Being inspired on a daily basis by Jesus’ life and work, Mary Baker Eddy’s life and work, the Bible, can only bring spiritual advancement to our thought and a closer relationship to God, Truth.

Thank you for the reminder, Pam, to pray daily for myself and the world.
