Daily Prayer for Peace

FRANCES L. GREIG

Peace in this world—how can we attain it? Prayer is the answer, prayer based on an understanding of the allness of divine Mind, the all-power of divine Love, and the nothingness of evil.

Mrs. Eddy prayed for the peace of the world. She wrote, "For many years I have prayed daily that there be no more war, no more barbarous slaughtering of our fellow-beings; prayed that all the peoples on earth and the islands of the sea have one God, one Mind; love God supremely, and love their neighbor as themselves."^{The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 286;}

We might be tempted to think one individual can't do very much to help a world or a nation beset by division and hatred. But there is much that one individual can do through prayer. In the Bible we are told of a besieged city that had in it "a poor wise man." This man "by his wisdom delivered the city."^{Eccl, 9:15;}
