Through prayer we find what we cannot find elsewhere: a peace that is not of this world.
An angry generation will not bring peace to the world; I do believe that.
The universe is conspiring in every moment to bring me happiness and peace.
Dear God,Please bring your LightInto the darkened cornersOf our world today.May Divine LoveCast out all fear,And peace prevail on earth.Forgive us,Oh God,For our errors.Forgive others for theirs,As well.Please help us, God.Amen
The goal of the spiritual activist is to find inner peace even in externally chaotic circumstances.
There are clearly times when quieting down and bringing our energy back into ourselves is a step toward inner peace. Yet the most powerful life is not one in which we bring ourselves back to our center when we have spun away from it, but rather one in which we seek to live from that center at all times.
As difficult as it can be to find genuine inner calm, it is the key to creating peace in the world as we know it. The world will not change until we do, and there is nothing the world can deliver to us that will give us the peace we crave. Peace comes not from the world, but from God.
God is a peaceful ground of being. He is the energy of nonviolence. To ask Him to help is to ask Him to turn us into profoundly peaceful people.
Where there is peace, there cannot be chaos; the two cannot coexist at the same time.
Never think you can separate who you are from what you're doing.
We tend to lack humility toward love, to patronize it rather than bow before it, to put mundane considerations before the emotional need to hold someone in our arms.
Romance is one of the sacred temples that dot the landscape of life.
Become more accepting. With every interaction, surrender any tendency to judge another person. Pray for a more accepting heart.
Use each interaction to be the best, most powerful version of yourself.
