Prayer for Haiti
Amidst the mass humantarian disaster Haiti currently faces because of the horrible earthquake that rocked the country two days ago, it is well to remember that our prayers make a difference.
If one is not physically in the country and does not have any personal contact with a resident of that area, the catastrophe can feel remote, distant, and not relevant to one's experience. But it is. All of us have a duty and responsibility to reach out with love, care, compassion and aid to our neighbor in need. And with the breakdown in time and space modern communication technology has facilitated, everyone in the world is one of our neighbors today.
Money is needed to repair broken cities and feed hungry people. Hundreds of channels have opened to send that type of help.
Prayer is also needed, and makes a difference.
Each citizen of that region is as close as our thoughts. We can help them by seeing them wrapped in the arms of divine Love, supported, sustained and comforted by the infinite resources of God. When we pray to take their fear away and help them think clearly, their collective consciousness does lose its fear, calms, quiets and hears the divine wisdom that is necessary to rebuild quickly, find shelter, be fed and restore harmony.
There is no time or space in this world that can limit God's care. There is one Mind, and we are all included in it's all-encompassing love. The help the Haitians need is as close as their thoughts too.
There is a need to understand this reality better so all of humanity feels its healing influence. Now is a good time to jump in and increase humanity's collective understanding of this truth so our neighbors in Haiti can bounce back from this calamity and end up in a better place than ever before.
Your prayer does make a difference. Have no doubt!
