7 Days of Prayer, cont'd.

[Guest guest]

If we come from fear we may panic and do

things-<br>as individuals and as nations-that could only

<br>cause further damage. If we come from love we <br>will

find refuge and strength, even as we provide <br>it to

others. <br><br>This is the moment of your ministry. This

is the <br>time of teaching. What you teach at this

time, <br>through your every word and action right now,

<br>will remain as indelible lessons in the hearts <br>and

minds of those whose lives you touch, both <br>now, and

for years to come.<br><br>We will set the course for

tomorrow, today. At <br>this hour. In this moment.

<br><br>Let us seek not to pinpoint blame, but to<br>pinpoint

cause.<br><br>Unless we take this time to look at the cause of <br>our

experience, we will never remove ourselves <br>from the

experiences it creates. Instead, we will <br>forever live in

fear of retribution from those <br>within the human

family who feel aggrieved, and, <br>likewise, seek

retribution from them.<br><br>To us the reasons are clear. We

have not learned <br>the most basic human lessons. We

have not <br>remembered the most basic human truths.

We have <br>not understood the most basic spiritual

wisdom. <br>In short, we have not been listening to God,

and <br>because we have not, we watch ourselves do

<br>ungodly things. <br><br>The message we hear from all

sources of truth is <br>clear: We are all one. That is a

message the <br>human race has largely ignored.

Forgetting this <br>truth is the only cause of hatred and

war, and <br>the way to remember is simple: Love, this

and <br>every moment.<br><br>If we could love even

those who have attacked us, <br>and seek to understand

why they have done so, <br>what then would be our

response? Yet if we meet <br>negativity with negativity,

rage with rage, <br>attack with attack, what then will

be the outcome? <br><br>These are the questions that

are placed before <br>the human race today. They are

questions that we <br>have failed to answer for thousands

of years.<br>Failure to answer them now could

eliminate the <br>need to answer them at all. <br><br>If we

want the beauty of the world that we have

<br>co-created to be experienced by our children and <br>our

children's children, we will have to become <br>spiritual

activists right here, right now, and <br>cause that to

happen. We must choose to be at <br>cause in the matter.

<br><br>So, talk with God today. Ask God for help, for

<br>counsel and advice, for insight and for strength <br>and

for inner peace and for deep wisdom. Ask God <br>on

this day to show us how to show up in the <br>world in

a way that will cause the world itself <br>to

change. And join all those people around the <br>world

who are praying right now, adding your <br>Light to

the Light that dispells all fear.<br><br>That is the

challenge that is placed before every<br>thinking person

today. Today the human soul asks <br>the question: What

can I do to preserve the <br>beauty and the wonder of

our world and to <br>eliminate the anger and

hatred-and the disparity <br>that inevitably causes it - in

that part of the <br>world which I touch?

<br><br>Please seek to answer that question today, with <br>all

the magnificence that is You.<br><br><br><br>What can

you do TODAY...this very moment?
