Pray/Meditate for a miracle to deliver us from BushCo!
I know, I know. Some here don't believe in God or prayer. I am not trying to anger that group but I am appealing to the group here that does believe in a higher power or force. Folks, we need help! I am praying that God will stop the madness in a powerful and miraculous way. In the Bible, God often answers a challenge to show power and cleverness.

So I encourage all to pray, meditate, consult the cosmic conscience or Karma .... whatever it takes. What will your prayer/request/thought be?
How could we be delivered from this group of Corporate Greedocrats that would prove to you there is a higher power? I certainly don't want any more bloodshed. I really can't imagine how we will be delivered but I feel that something momentous is about to happen. Your thoughts?

Let's give it a try and then be thankful when it comes about. There will be surprises.......

My prayer: Please God, restore sanity to those in my country who are supporting our leadership even though those leaders are not following your wishes. Please take away their power and allow love and compassion to direct our policies and plans.

1. I'll do it.
Our prayer (in Religious Science) is meditation/creative visualization. We are tapping into the abundant blessing/energy/abundance in the Universe. We see it our mind, say it is so, and release it! I will visualize a Kerry presidency (winning by a landslide) with great mental energy! Come on all! Help me send the Kerry campaign positive energy!

2. Thanks.
That gets the positive energy ball rolling. There is so much negative energy from this group. Ironic they are in the "energy" business. It is time to pull the plug! Thanks again.

3. Faith moves mountains. I am not religious, but whatever works
I am willing to take if it means Bush is out.
However, in Spanish there is a saying:
A Dios rogando y con el mazo dando.
This means keep working hard while you are praying (God will not do things for you if you put no effort into it).

4. I absolutely agree!
Thanks for your contribution. I grew up hearing this: Pray as if all depended on God. Work for your goal as if all depended on you.

I think that is closely related to your quote and is the way to live. We must work hard but be thankful when what we want actually comes about. :0)

5.  A Dios roando y con el mazo dando.

A very pious man decides one day to ask God to help him win the lottery. God says to the man, "You've been a faithful follower and I will certainly help you win the lottery."

Several weeks go by and the pious man has still not won the lottery. He asks.."Oh God in the Heavens, please help me to understand why I am not winning the lottery when you said it would be so?"

And God said, "Oh pious one, why don't you meet me half way, and buy a ticket."

Yes, you have to work along with those prayers and we gotta get Bush outta here.

6. Every day I ask the collective consciousness for help.
This is a good thing for folks who aren't sold on organized anything. Since science shows that our mind only utilizes 10% of its capability it only stands to reason that the other 90% of the electro-chemical dealy between our ears is up to somthing we might not fully comprehend. That's what I call God and I ask it for help everyday. And I like your prayer too, it's a lot like my own.

8. hey reading the title
Edited on Mon Apr-26-04 12:21 AM by seabeyond
i thought only a democrat would give options, pray or meditate.

the thing with what you are asking and meditating is you are asking for the creation of polarity. you are asking the putting out of something that will cause a reaction. adn the same in the praying, asking for outside forces, and there isnt an outside force, it all is from within, the individual power, lol lol. the is spiritual jargon. the best bet for me, finding truth and sitting in the truth adn bringing in a stillness to allow awareness to grow. then you arent forcing or creating a reaction. it just becomes

this is just a funny to me. i know many wont get it. just fun that a dem would put all these options

10. I will leave 467586982726354 Laulaus at the Kahunas Heiau
and the request for Sanity's Return.

I think better we work for Bushes removal as a backup.
