A Prayer for Us All
Here we are, God - a planet at prayer.
Attune our spirits that we may hear your harmonies and bow before your creative power that we may face our violent discords and join with your Energy to make heard in every heart your hymn of peace. Here we are, God - a militarized planet. Transform our fears that we may transform our war fields into wheat fields, arms into handshakes, missiles into messengers of peace. Here we are, God - a polluted planet. Purify our vision that we may perceive ways to purify our beloved lands, cleanse our precious waters, de-smog our life-giving air. Here we are, God - an exploited planet. Heal our heart, that we may respect our resources, hold priceless our people, and provide for our starving children an abundance of daily bread.' Joan Metzner |
You are measured not by your deeds
but by your thoughts. If you do good things because you feel you have to or will be punished if you don’t, then from the point of view of our spiritual growth, what is the value of doing those good things? Things must be done because they are right, not because you are afraid. It is your intent that infuses what you do. It is your intent which is measured and evaluated when it comes time for you to look at your life from the Spirit realm and judge your progress. So even though you may have a lifetime of apparently good deeds, you may not reap the benefits of those deeds, if they were done through greed, or fear, or the need for power or control. It is your intent which matters. |

All thoughts are prayers.
"There is a Zen saying that "Absolute Attention is Prayer."
Be conscious of your thoughts and be present in the moment.
Understanding this will help us create a future
we can be proud of which reject fears and embraces peace.
