Peace in the world begins with peace in my heart.
It
is easy to be overwhelmed by conflicts in the world. My peace work
begins when I ask, “Is there conflict in my heart?” Are there friends or
family I have shut outside my heart? Are there people with beliefs
different from my own who see me as an enemy? Holding bitter
feelings of anger, pain, and distrust blocks the flow of peace through
me. The path to peace in the world begins with unblocking the flow of
peace within me. I recognize that each of us carries a divine spark of
Spirit, which connects us. I focus on our connection as I invite divine
love to activate the release of any feelings that are blocking my peace.
My prayers radiate to all those around me, all those in my country, and
all those in the world.
But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.—Matthew 5:44
