Praying for a Miracle in Iraq

I want to check in with you about this week's experience praying for a miracle in Iraq. I hope you can feel the subtle but powerful force of hundreds of us praying for this. At different times throughout the day, all in our own way, we are building a wall of prayer.

Study after study has revealed that prayer works -- people who are prayed for get out of intensive care units faster, need fewer antibiotics, etc. And all of us have experienced prayer's miraculous power in healing our own lives. Ghandhi's great contribution to the human race was his assertion that the force of non-violence (love, God, source, etc.) can heal all political and social relationships as well.

While the human drama in Iraq is tragic, we remember the first principle of Miracles: "There is no order of difficulty in miracles." And prayer is the medium of miracles. We pray as a way of dismantling the thought forms, in ourselves and others, that keep the separation in place and thus war inevitable. This occurs within a quantum vortex, beyond the mortal mind; in ways we cannot rationally understand, our prayers are undermining the thoughts of war that hold its manifestation in place.

Think of Iraq, then pour light all over it.

Think of Iraq, and ask God for a miracle.

Think of Iraq, and remember that there is nothing our holiness cannot do.

Let us pray without ceasing, and this war will end.

All my best,

Marianne

Dear God,
We place the war in Iraq
in Your hands.
Miraculously
heal this,
and heal all things.
Turn fear to love,
and war to peace.
Amen
