Instead of writing an article, I want to share with you excerpts
from an essay by Peggy Pifer that was sent out from Unity
Village with the information on the World Day of Prayer.
In the One Love We All Share,
Rev. Lisa
People talk about
how they can make a difference in the world, about how to
make the world a better place to live in. When you think
about the expansiveness of the world and the people who live
on this planet, when you consider all the
cultures, languages, and customs, do you wonder how you can be a positive influence?
Yes, the world seems like a big place, but you can make a difference! You can
make a difference by being a blessing right where you are…
A spirit of oneness permeates all of life. Because we are all
creations of one God, we are divinely connected with one another.
And we are connected in a spirit of love because our Creator
is the essence of love and that love dwells within each of us.
No matter where we go or whom or what we interact with, we are
one in Spirit.
One of the most significant ways you can affect the world is
through your prayers. As you pray, you become more aware of your
oneness with God and with all creation. As you pray for others
and for the world, you add to a consciousness of love and peace
and healing that enfolds the world and blesses everyone on it.
Prayer is a powerful activity. It quickens the healing energy
that flows in and through every living being and every situation.
Through prayer you contribute to this energy and become a channel
through which it flows to manifest the good you desire.
Healing the world begins with healing your individual part of
it. Whatever area of your life you would like to experience healing,
you can start by knowing the truth about yourself….
…You are wise because you have the light of God within
you ….
You have the life of God within you….your mind, body, and
emotions
are perfect expressions of strength and wholeness…
With the love of God within you, you create an environment of
love and peace that permeates every relationship and circumstance….relationships
built on respect and appreciation. You attract happy, loving,
people into your life.
As you recognize and affirm the qualities of divine light, life,
and love in others, you connect with them on a spiritual level,
seeing only the good and divine within them. You become a channel
of blessing through which the goodness of God flows.
Rejoicing in our Oneness with God
and one another, we celebrate
healing in every aspect of our lives
and in the world.
