Prayer Circles

This holy instant is salvation come.

What joy there is today!
It is a time of special celebration.
For today holds out the instant to the darkened world where it's release is set.
The day has come when sorrows pass away and pain is gone.
The glory of salvation dawns today upon a world set free.
This is the time of hope for countless millions.
They will be united now, as you forgive them all.
For I will be forgiven by you today.

We have forgiven one another now,
and so we come at last to You again.
Father your Son, who never left,
returns to Heaven and his home.
How glad are we to have our sanity restored to us, and to remember that we all are one.
Amen

A Course In Miracles Lesson 241

I love you. This is an invitation to you all to join this prayer circle.
God bless.

"Peace, then, be unto everyone who becomes a Teacher of Peace. For peace is the acknowledgment of perfect purity, from which no one is excluded. Within its holy circle is everyone whom God created as His Son. Joy is its unifying attribute, with no one left outside to suffer guilt alone. The power of God draws everyone to its safe embrace of love and union. Stand quietly within this circle, and attract all tortured minds to join with you in the safety of its peace and holiness."

Jesus Christ in A Course In Miracles

I Met God in the Morning
- by Ralph Cushman

I sought God in the morning, when the day was at its best
And His presence came like glory of the sunrise in my breast.

All day long His presence lingered, all day long He stayed with me
And we sailed in perfect calmness o'er a very troubled sea.

Other ships were blown and battered, other ships were sore distressed.
But the winds that seemd to drive them brought to us a peace and rest.

Then I thought of other mornings, with a keen remorse of mind,
When I too had loosed the moorings with the Presence left behind.

And I think I know the secret, learned from many a troubled way.
You must seek God in the morning, if you want Him through the day.

DECIDE TO BE PEACEFUL

Decide to be peaceful
Render others peaceful
Be a model of peace
Irradiate your peace
Love passioinately the peace

of our beautiful planet
Do not listen to the warmongers,
hate seeders and powerseekers
Dream always of a peaceful world
Work always for a peaceful world

Switch on and keep on, in yourself
the positive buttons,
those marked love,
serenity, happiness, truth,
kindness, friendliness,
understanding and tolerance
Pray and thank God every day for peace
Pray for the United Nations
and all peacemakers
Pray for the leaders of nations
who hold the peace of the world
in their hands
Pray God to let our planet at long last
become the Planet of Peace
And sing in unison with all humanity

"Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me."

unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be
upon his shoulder;
and his name shall be called
Wonderful,
Counsellor,
The mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
THE PRINCE OF PEACE!" Is 9:6

Seichi No Ie "Prayer for World Peace"
"God's infinite love flows into me (us), and shines forth from me(us)as a brilliant spiritual light of love.
The spiritual light of love grows and grows in intensity, covering the entire world, And filling the hearts of everyone with thoughts only of love, peace, order
and the Truth of oneness in God."
Rev Ando, Seicho No Ie - New York

"God you are in the Hindu, the Muslim, the Jew, the Palestinian, and the Christian. God you are in the rich man and the beggar child. God you are in the soldier and the suicide bomber. God you are in my enemy and you are in me.

God, if you and us together, could work the miracle and change us from keepers of peace to makers of peace, then God, together, you and us, we will bring peace.

God, our enemies of peace are not guns but the spirits that justify the finger squeezing the trigger.

Our enemies of peace are not the businessmen who sign the paper that spells doom for the peasants on their land, but the spirits that speak the language of progress and profit.

Nor are our enemies the charismatic preachers, but the spirit that worships itself and calls itself “God”.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world.

God, you and us together will expose the evil that hides within the spirits of our world. For then evil will flee before the light of your truth, and then we will know that this holy instant, salvation is come."

God's richest blessing,
