Prayer for Russia and Ukraine

[Voices and Prayers from the Field, Laura Lapointe, Christian A. Harder, Graham Thatcher, Rosalie E. Dunbar, Douglas Paul, and Béatrice Labarthe, cssentinel.com, March 18, 2022]

God is All—this is the divine reality for both Russia and Ukraine. My prayer is to understand better the oneness of God and His creation, and that there’s only one creation, not two warring parts, and one divine Mind, God, who includes all solutions.

I pray to understand better that the concept of “nation,” each with its individual history, resentments, victories, and defeats, is not a divine concept but a human one. And I do my best to let go of a “material record” as part of my own thinking. “The human history needs to be revised, and the material record expunged” (Mary Baker Eddy, Retrospection and Introspection, p. 22). My daily prayer affirms that God, Mind, is in full operation right now, in the Ukraine, in Russia, and in the whole world.

Strong reminder

[Emily Byquist, “How to stop a war,” Sentinel, February 23, 2015]

This article resonated with me as a reminder of our universal oneness with our Father-Mother God and that I can apply this spiritual fact in solving all kinds of conflicts. Thank you!
