A spiritual protest against terrorism

Why was I awake? It was the middle of the night during finals week. But my finals were done; there was no reason I should be feeling so panicked and restless.

Suddenly, I had an intense feeling that I needed to pray. I recognized this feeling as a spiritual intuition, so I sat down on the floor of my dorm room and listened for God’s direction. I felt inspired to open the latest issue of The Christian Science Monitor Weekly to an article about combatting terrorism perpetuated by the so-called Islamic State (ISIS).

We can make an impact on any troubling situation through prayer.
