Healana

Our world needs your help, dear God. Our world needs your help, dear God, to return to a state of peace with one another. There is little joy in the world and we kill one another. There is little compassion and we attack one another with words of hate. There is little knowledge of one another, and we listen only to ourselves. We have created. We have created greater monetary wealth for some and greater poverty for most. Our livelihood and our economy crumble around us. We are surrounded by self-made fears. Our bodies have fallen into decay. We reach for ecstasy and have fallen into despair. We grumble and complain. We have forgotten the attributes of godliness. You are. You, dear God, are the perfection we hope for: To come to a knowledge of graciousness, real compassion and patience; To be abounding in kindness and faithfulness, assuring love for a thousand generations, forgiving transgression, iniquity and sin and granting pardon. Bring us to the values we need so desperately that underlie all of life�s goodness. Return us to joy. Only you know the way. Our fundamental belief has become that only we know the way to thee, but on the way we have lost the values that you represent. One of us has said, �if you do not belong to my religion, you can never arrive at the highest rung of heaven.� Another says, �when the Messiah comes, only those who follow my beliefs will be saved.� And yet another says, �if you do not bow down the way that I bow down, then you shall not live. My way is the way of life; yours is the way of death.� Our world needs your help. Our world needs your help, dear God, to heal this arrogant belief that we can find the Rapture here and now, that the human intervention of worldly destruction can bring the Apocalypse and peace. It is only yours to bring. Heal. Heal this Tower of Babel we have created, and by loving-kindness, return us to the heart of God. Heal, oh my soul, dear God, for I am here, willing to heal myself and your world. I am truly here today and I am ready now to heal. Amen. Found in the heart of the healers many eons deep in the intimate nearness, the fulfillment of all their dreams, in the reality of now.
