Sharings from IIWP Worldwide Peace Prayer Participants

Hello Dear Peacemakers,

when the sun is rising from the east, i imagin happiness spreading across the earth globe, when the sun is going down the same from the west, i imagin calmness spreading across the earth. and i learned that peace come's from within. (WA, Nigeria)


Ever since this process began, several years ago I have been saying the peace prayer every day, imagining the planet surrounded by the golden light of peace. As peacemakers, ministers of Light and initiates we are anchoring peace in our hearts, in our homes and in our world. (YM, Colombia)


1. What was your intention for participating in the peace prayers?


My intention is to become more conscious of how I block inner peace and support myself in remembering how easy it can be to return to the peace that is always available if I choose. (SK, USA)


To enjoy receiving and giving peaceful moments. (CW, USA)


To gain and send more peace and to get a reminder about this (WI, Australia)


To hold a focus of Light and Love and to plant along each day's journey columns of Light (RmC, USA)


My intention for peace prayer is to contribute or make a difference in the society.


Mainly to help make a difference through sending Light and reciting the Peace prayer envisioniong our beautiful earth and my beloved MSIA family around the world all joining in the action. (BB, Australia)


2. How did the prayers make a difference in your life? Please share what you learned or discovered about your own process toward peace and what assisted you in choosing peace.


That nagging question, "Where do you notice againstness...?" disturbed, reminded and nudged me into greater consciousness, greater integrity, greater humility, and on into greater peacefulness. (JP, Alaska)


I am more centered in my true self and when there's negativity, I can return to neutrality much quicker. It helps me to choose peace, to be aware of my responsibility as a creator and that I choose to create peace. (YM, Colombia)


The peace prayers brought me present, and in the breathing and envisioning us all holding hands in peace and unity, it brought about a sense of purpose and that I had done something good that day no matter who was thinking what or what else was going on. I was in my own space and time continuum. (LL, UK)


What always amazes me is that whenever (no matter the time of day) I read the email and start the process my body relaxes and I re-center into the peace that I know is available.  I am amazed at the level of tension that I seem to always have.  I am learning  that I could choose to go through my day in a more stress free mode if I will just be more conscious and consciously choose peace for myself. (SK, USA)


Simply knowing that peace was on it's way to me through an e-mail as well as the ten thousand other ways it is given, my life is soooo rich as it is. Attitude. My attitude is what I learned, really learned with this series, that facilitates Peace in any given moment. (CW, USA)


I have a sister who until two months ago had become a real challenge for me because anything I said she interpreted in the opposite way completely; so I just decided I would love her from the center (of my heart) and in peace. Each time I observe something or another person I recall my inner peace, and there is a kind of healing for me as well as for others. Everything becomes much more peaceful including the experiences, no matter how challenging. (MLH, Colombia)


I've been more aware on how peace works with me and in doing the process be also aware on how the light of peace fills me in and unfolds me. (PA, Mexico)


The peace prayers offer me a reminder to re-engage in the peace that's always already present, and offer me processes to do that. Today's process allowed me to touch into the "portable paradise" that I always have with me. It's such a blessing to know that peace is always mine for the claiming, and moving into, at any moment. (LM, USA)


Just prompted me to bring peace present. Love seeing (the words) We love you, God bless you, Peace, be still. Reminds me to use peace prayer in challenging times. One day I was supporting a student who had been involved in a physical fight. He was in tears of anger. I just kept chanting God bless You I love You peace be still and he calmed down enough to be able to leave the office. (WI, Australia)


The peace prayer made a difference in my life, to be more present every day as I join up with the other peacemakers, surrounding the planet with love and blessing it. I have learnt to take more time to send peace to all the beings on the planet, the seas, rivers, lakes, countries, animals, human beings and all the rest of the beings who inhabit it, in perfect peace and harmony. (LC, Colombia)


My thought process toward action is greatly influenced by peace prayer, l learned to find peace within, when in trouble area my calmness condenses situation, and in any situation there is lesson out there for me to learn. I feel greatly happy when i give service to someone. (WA, Nigeria)


Even seeing the email in my inbox was a reminder to choose peace and go forward peacefully. They were reminders and ways to keep me on track with my peaceful expression into the world, and also gave me a reference point for when I was off-track. (SS, USA)


Dear fellow peace makers I so needed this refresher. I am so greatful for the peace prayers and the moment to remind myself to bath the world and all of God's creation in the light. It reminds me that I am a co-creator with God and all of His creation. (RC, Australia)


Each and every prayer is a gift and a reminder to pray, a moment to bless the planet and all concerned. (BP, USA)


Reading the Peace Prayer at the beginning of the day sets a focused intention for my day, enabling me to awaken more fully to the Peace of God that is present with me. (RMC, USA)


It definitely helped me to remain more centered when I recited the peace prayer and I found myself silently saying it to people in the street or people who where raising my ire - also to myself when I was getting frustrated with myself. I think it is a great tool for remaining centered, healing, forgiving and loving (BB, Australia)


Ever since I was a little girl, I've dreamt of peace in my home, in the homes of all my family, in my city, out in the countryside, in my country and throughout the world. It was if I was prepared to go to a great banquet and I were suddenly surprised by the invitation. Tuning in with the peacemakers takes only a few seconds, I hear a choir and the beating of the earth and all human beings receiving the message of peace. Also, many hearts are included in the world of peace and the stillness I experience when I am full of spirit. (MLH, Colombia)


I love participating in the peace prayer process... It is a wonderful reminder to call myself into the peace that is present and to send peace each day to everything -- the planet, places in conflict, people at odds, all of us in general, and to keep the peace of Spirit present within myself. Blessings, Light, and loving. (ME. USA)
