Prayer is the best defense
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
Today, the world seems to be taking sides, squaring off, if you will, picking “weapons of choice.” It may be a nuke here, a MIG there, a few home-made bombs wrapped around a suicide bomber, or, as the world saw a few years ago, box cutters and airplanes.
The weapons chosen may be physical, like the ones I’ve mentioned, or mental. For some, they are both. In my desire and effort to face the terrorism and resulting wars I see the world faced with, I’ve asked myself: what is my weapon of choice? And my answer—prayer.
This may seem odd, but to me prayer is a proven weapon. It’s gotten me through tough times and out of tough situations. I’ve practiced it a lot and seen solid results—so I’m comfortable with its use. Admittedly, my prayer escalates (and I think others' prayers escalate as well) during times of fear and uncertainty.
