God Within

The Daily Word for yesterday was "Pray for Others." When I see this, I'm so grateful I have Unity's teaching (and Joel Goldsmith and others too) on prayer - that I need only see each person as a beloved child of God, whole and complete and healthy,

A dear friend's five year old grandson is suffering with little strokes. He has had two surgeries in the last few months. In my worry brain I wonder if there is such a thing as a little stroke; in my right mind, I know that all is well with this little old boy.

Another dear friend's son (in his 40s) has the skills and expertise to make a contribution in Africa in the work to contain, slow and eventually stop the spread of the Ebola virus. He chose to travel to Sierra Leone a couple days after Thanksgiving and is still there, missing Christmas with his wife and three young sons. In my worry mind I know that no matter how careful some aide workers have been, they still have contracted the virus. In my right mind, I see this young man "in the green." He made his choice with a knowing brain and I support him totally with my prayers for his and everyone's well being, whether they are patients, family members or a medical person.

Several people I love have various health or other issues going on in their lives. Here's what the Daily Word meditation says:

When praying for others, I center myself in the awareness of God within me. I remember that God is also within those for whom I pray. I affirm my faith in the power of prayer and give thanks for the activity of Spirit in all situations."
