Today I Pray For Others' Healing, Prosperity And Peace.
Jesus’ disciples likely asked him to repeat the beatitude that called for prayer for enemies. After all, blessing those who curse us is not the most common reaction. Yet Jesus suggested that praying for others, even the ones we find difficult, turns the key to spiritual mastery. Sometimes I struggle with this teaching of Jesus. Who can deny the world rumbles with thoughts of anger instead of forgiveness? Yet affirmative prayer for others’ healing, peace, and prosperity has the power to soothe the turbulent world and bridge the gap between people in conflict. I benefit, too, by becoming a healthier, more joyful person when I take time to pray for others. Today I will bless myself as I transcend discord through the power of prayer.
But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.—Matthew 5:44
