I’m often asked what we can do to restore peace in the world or what we can do after a natural disaster.
One of the things that I find most people do not know, or perhaps believe, is the power of their voice, their intention, their prayer. In this world where so many feel powerless, I urge you to use your intention, your heart to send prayers and support to those who are on the ground addressing the aftermath of this natural disaster.
Many spiritual teachers I know are already in assistance to those who have passed into the spirit realm. They do this from their homes, connecting in spirit to assist these souls to pass.
You can do the same by simply praying a heartfelt prayer for what comes to you in the moment. For me, I have felt pulled to pray for those assisting in rescue to know and find those who are trapped, for example. As I pray for these individuals to gain divine support, I assist by lending my own energy and intention. You can give this gift also.
If nothing in particular comes to mind, a simpler prayer would be, “God, I don’t know what to pray for…I just ask for you to use my prayer for the highest good of all.”
Your Presence does hold power and I urge you to use it to serve others. One moment, one voice, connecting to others…does make a difference.
Rescue organizations are also asking for donations. The American Red Cross will take your donations and do good with it. Give, if you feel pulled. Bless you.
