"Prayer
for The World"
From
"The Illuminata, A Return to Prayer"
by
Marianne Williamson
Dear
God,
We
pray for this our world.
We
ask that You remove the walls that separate us and the chains that
hold us down.
Use
us to create a new world on earth, one that reflects Your will,
Your vision, Your peace.
In
this moment, we recognize the power You have given us to create
anew the world we want.
Today's
world, dear Lord, but reflects our past confusion.
Now,
in this moment, we ask for new light.
Illumine
our minds.
Use
us, dear Lord, as never before, as part of a great and mighty plan
for the healing of this world.
May
we no longer be at war with each other.
May
we no longer be at war with ourselves.
Let
us forgive this century and every other, the evils of history, the
pain of our common fears.
Remove
from our hearts the illusion that we are separate.
May
every nation and every people and every color and every religion
find at last the one heartbeat we share.
Through
You, our common Father-Mother and the redeemer of broken dreams.
May
we not hold on to yesterday.
May
we not obscure Your vision of tomorrow but rather may You flood
our hearts.
Flow
through us, work through us, that in our lives we might see the
illumined world.
Create,
sustain that world on earth, dear God, for us and our children.
Hallelujah,
at the thought.
Praise
God, the possibility that such a thing could come to be,
through
You, through Your light that shines within us.
So
may it be.
So
may it be.
We
thank You, Lord.
Amen."

"A
Fireman's Prayer"
When
I am called to duty, God,
Wherever
flames may rage,
Give
me strength to save a life
Whatever
be its age.
Help
me embrace a little child
Before
it is too late,
Or
save an older person from
The
horror of that fate.
Enable
me to be alert
And
hear the weakest shout;
And
quickly and efficiently
To
put the fire out.
I
want to fill my calling and
To
give the best in me,
To
guard my every neighbor and
Protect
his property.
And,
if according to my fate,
I
am to lose my life,
Please
bless with Your protecting hand
My
children and my wife."
Put all your faith in the Love of God within you; eternal, changeless and forever unfailing.
This is the answer to whatever confronts you today.
("A
Course in Miracles",Workbook Lesson 50)
Thanks
to Ken, "Cafe
Press"
May
you be blessed with His peace and
light.

Today's Prayer: 9/24/01
Dear
God,
Please pour Your Spirit out upon all the Earth.
Drive
out the darkness with Divine Light.
Replace
all fear with Your love.
We
place the planet in Your hands.
We
surrender our thoughts, that they might be lifted higher.
We
cry out in many languages; calling You by a hundred names.
You
are One Divine Presence and we are One people of God.
Please
call all people into Love.
Thank
You.
Amen.

Affirmation:

am an individualized expression of the One.

"I believe that what
self-centered men have torn down, men other-centered
can build up. I still believe that one day mankind
will bow before the
altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and
bloodshed and non-
violent redemptive goodwill proclaimed the rule of the
land. And the
Lion and the Lamb shall lie down together, and every man
shall sit
under his own vine and fig tree, and none shall be afraid.
I believe
that we shall overcome."
- Martin Luther King
