"Handle With Prayer"

One of my mentors, Rev. Flo, taught
us that whatever we were hearing in
the news or seeing in the headlines,
were calls to prayer.

It is easy to get caught up in the
drama of the newscasters and the
naysayers. This is part of the
collective consciousness that we
all encounter in our human experience.

What we need to do, though, is to
take a moment to breathe and pray
about whatever it is that has caught
our attention. When we pray, then it
helps us to remember the One Power
God the Good is in that situation, too.

"...every time we pray in peace, love,
and understanding, we are defusing
one of those bombs of destruction and
building a more beautiful world."
--Donald Curtis

The oil spill is a call to prayer. War
and destruction are calls to prayer.
Every pain and every heart ache are
each a call to prayer.

Let Us Pray:
Living, loving Presence we are grateful
that You are everywhere present, and
that You are the One Power and Presence
in our lives and in the Universe. We give
thanks that we can trust You in every
situation as You lead, guide, and direct.
Thank You, God. Amen.

What a joy it is to have you as a partner
of prayer as we walk this journey. You
are the best.

Love,
Sandy
