You may not realize it, but September 21, 2006, is the International Day of Peace, as declared by the United Nations in 1981. The world certainly could use more peace, and every effort by any organization to promote brotherly love among mankind is worthy of support.I asked myself this morning, "How can I contribute to worldwide peace from my humble and remote locale here in Kennewick, Washington?
Every thought we think is part of the collective whole and has an impact on humanity's experience. I may not be a national leader making military decisions, but that doesn't mean my prayers aren't just as effective in resolving mental conflict in remote regions. God's harmonizing love is not available only to leaders with famous titles. God's love works through Truth, and Truth knows no boundaries, geographical or political.
Some of my prayers...
I pray for peace in Iraq. That all parties involved let go of their selfish pursuits, personal grievances, and ideological extremes to find common ground in Love where brother can unite with brother for the public good.
I pray that Muslims and Christians everywhere see the good in each other and unite in Love based on that goodness.
I pray for understanding and compassion in Africa, for tribal members to see the child of God in one another and value each life as they do their own.
I pray for the dissolution of political polarization in the US. That Republicans and Democrats cease warring between themselves, and become a model for how differing groups can work together as one for the greater whole.
I pray for young children to be raised in homes of harmony so that when they grow up and go out into the world they have a model of peace embedded in their minds to share with others.
I pray that people around the world value living a life of Love more than they do the pursuit of personal gain, recognition, position and worldly power.
I pray that we all see each other as brothers and sisters united in the family of God which knows no cultural, ethnic, political, religious, social or economic divide.
I pray to see one perfect child of God living in a land of Love where the one Mind reigns and peace is the rule, not the exception.
What's you prayer for the world today?

This is my prayer for mankind:
MIND: All of mankind is governed by the one Mind of omnipresent good/God. There is only this one Mind as it is infinite. It contains all within Itself therefore all are safe in this Mind of divine Love.
LOVE: Love is God, good. It is not human and changeable but eternal and infinite all-encompassing Love of Spirit. All things are made out of the substance of spiritual Love and express this Love.
SPIRIT: Spirit is the true essence of man. Spirit is God/good. All is therefore good only.
TRUTH: Truth is unchanging, loving and good. It is reality. It is beyond what mortal mind thinks and believes in. It is of God and ever-present.
SOUL: Soul is true man. It is all that is beautiful, gentle, kind and good. It expresses the feminine principle of God in nurturing motherhood and fresh creativity.
PRINCIPLE: All is governed in total peace by the divine Principle which created all like Itself. It can be felt in all that is harmonious, wise and good. It is everywhere and in everything.
LIFE: All Life is God. There is no opposite to Life. Life is eternal now. All live in this one Life which is spiritual and is all good.
Peace, Veronika
My prayer for the world is that God's will be done. God's will is always good, benevolent to all. No one is ever under any influence except the divine will of God, divine Love. God's will is the only power in the entire universe. Any appearance of any other power, or will, in action is simply the dream of the Genesis 2 man from which all mankind will ultimately awaken. May the peaceful will of God reign within all His children: peace within, peace without.
