“Sometimes all it takes is just one small prayer to change everything.”
I often very happily admit that nothing phases my inner peace and happiness. But lately, the horrific images in the news and the atrocities on human lives is leaving me in knots. I am constantly living, but those images keep haunting me. Not because I am scared…no, but because I cant wrap my head around WHY this is all happening. Why has this thirst for world domination become so important to so many?
Innocent lives are paying the price. Every image on tv and the papers is of tragedy and an incredible loss of precious innocent human life.
When I started writing this, I wanted to vent at how it could be stopped, why the officials were being such pig heads etc etc… But I just stopped myself and thought, what purpose is that serving now.How will that help all the families who lost their loved ones, who are suffering in war torn Syria and how will that bring peace???
I am quite and question the universe instead for such a huge loss of beautiful souls.
I have often been able to understand, or rather come to terms with loss due to a natural calamity. But, a man made calamity, that too of this proportion, I can’t understand. I don’t know why one human being(however powerful they may be) would consider another human beings life so cheap and unimportant. In my opinion a ‘true human{e} being’ cannot and would not do something like that. I just cant fathom it.
When I read or hear of the tragedy and the aftermath of that tragedy that is happening in Syria, I feel so helpless. Helpless cause I sit here in my comfortable home and can’t do anything but watch and listen. I might be far away, but I can still feel their pain and their loss. I keep wondering how it would be had the Syrian people just been left in peace?
Can we help???
Let Peace, Love and Prayer light the way for Syria
“Prayer is not an old woman’s idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.” -Gandhi
Physically, sometimes its not feasible to help, but in spirit YES we can.
We can Hope and Pray. We can send them our love and think of them in our prayers.
How many times have we prayed for someone other than ourselves or our loved ones?
Learning to pray for anothers plight makes us selfless. It makes the universe aware of the positivity going out and maybe, just maybe, all that positivity will go in the right direction.
Today, as a tribute to those beautiful souls who have lost their lives and to those who are struggling in that war zone, I would request you to say a prayer.
A prayer that will reach them and make them feel like they mattered and haven’t been forgotten. A prayer that will show them the immense love that is still felt for them and that their loss has left a huge hole in the universe. That their loss is a loss to humanity as a whole.
I urge you to also pray for their families. May they have the strength to overcome this loss, peace to truly live their life as was truly intended for them to be lived.
The Almighty Allah Says in the Holy Quran- “Call On Me, I Answer You.”
Lets all Call on the Almighty today for Peace and Love to surround this whole universe.
Let our prayer be an antidote to the negativity that is engulfing this world.
Amen.
With Immense Love & Gratitude,
~Zeenat~

Praying for these beautiful people.
Blessings, Zeenat!
Thanks for joining me in prayers for peace Zeenat. I believe the best thing we can do is send prayers and the energy of peace to the leaders and people of Syria. I wrote a similar post called “Imagine Peace.” Thanks, Brad
What a beautiful post Zeenat! Let Peace, Love and Prayer Light the Way for the People of Syria. Sharing your words on social media ~ Love, Martine
Zeenat – AMEN – you soul is on fire with your heartfelt words and thoughts.
I have been spending a lot of time in reflection and sending blessings out into the world.
I have a gas mask in my ‘safe room’ at home – just in case Tel Aviv is hit with chemical weapons.
And life goes on – send blessings and love out into the world – with love and gratitude – Fran
On this anniversary of 09/11/2001:
“Only the dead have seen the end of war”
~ Plato
“The cause of wars: there is in every man and in every group of men a feeling that they have a just and legitimate claim to be masters of the universe—-to possess it. But this possession is not rightly understood because they do not know that each one has access to it (in so far as this is possible for man on this earth) through his own body.”
~ Simone Weil
‘Gravity and Grace’
“Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes his aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered—that of neither has been answered fully.”
“With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations.”
~ Abraham Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address
From Abraham Lincoln’s Daily Devotional:
Duties — World
Seek the Salvation of Others
He which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
~ James 5:20
My God, I feel the mournful scene;
My bowels yearn o’er dying men;
And fain my pity would reclaim,
And snatch the firebrands from flame.
People who have no respect for human life commit atrocities like this. It’s beyond my imagination. Thank God for a place to vent and the space to pray.

Thank you for your post. I join you and pray that all those whose lives are being torn apart because of the disputes of a few powerful yet ‘in pain’ men, be sent love, strength and the wisdom they need from God. I wish that those who have the power may wake up and realise the truth that is all around them, and that together we can all create a beautiful world where every human being can prosper and live in peace.
Amen. Thank you.
