Silent Chant for Peace



Silent Chant for Peace

Sometimes when I cannot find the words to pray I practice this silent chant.

First I sit very still and let my eyes gently close. I focus my attention on my heart center and notice my breathing. I begin to gently deepen my breath aiming for a slow, full, rhythmic breath. Then with each inhale and each exhale I just silently say the word “peace” to myself. I let it be rather matter of fact as in “Yes, of course, peace.”
Then periodically I might add a few words such as, “ Peace in my family”  or “Peace on Earth”

Here is an example:

Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace in my heart.

Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace in my mind.

Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace in my body.

Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace in my family.

Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace in my neighborhood.

Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace on earth.

Prayer for Our World



Adapted from Ernest Holmes, Prayer for My Country

Believing in the liberty, security, and self-expression for all, I offer this, my prayer for our world:

I believe that Divine Intelligence governs the destiny of our world and her people, directing the thought and the activity of all who guide her affairs. I believe that success, prosperity, and happiness are the gifts of freedom and are the Divine heritage of everyone. In my mind’s eye I see that it is Divine guidance that enlightens the collective mind of the people of planet earth, causing each person to know that economic security may come to all without the loss of either personal freedom or individual self-expression. I believe that no one can be led to accept that freedom must be surrendered in order to insure economic security for all.

I trust that the All-Knowing Mind contains the answer to every problem which confronts our world and that every leader is direct by their Creator – and has access to the knowledge of a complete solution to every problem.  This inner connection guides each one to act upon this knowledge to the end that abundance, security, and peace shall come to all.

My prayer is that spiritual democracy shall endure, guaranteeing to everyone in this country personal liberty, happiness, and self-expression.

Affirmative Prayer for Peace In Our Time

Here is a prayer by Suzanne Sackett, RScP

Peace In Our Time

There is one creative cause of all life, one powerful flow of peace-commanding Spirit. Infinite Creator, the only Presence and the only Power. God is total peace, heart felt love, absolute calm, breath taking beauty and unending joy.

I have a consciousness of Oneness. All that God is, I am. I live and move and have my being in the flow of wisdom, clarity, wholeness and joy of Spirit. My life is rich with meaning, and I reside in an inner glow of peace and well-being. As I feel complete peace in mind, heart and soul, a feeling of well being fills my world. Peaceful is my way of life. My thoughts, actions and words of peace express my God nature, the truth of who I am. As I focus my inward thoughts of peace in my life, my family, my community, the Universe become more peaceful.

I celebrate the peace in my world, in all creation, in the Universe. This rich, gentle, and endless stream of the peace that is the Divine fills my heart to overflowing, and I am truly grateful.

I release this Truth into the Omnipresent Law of Mind, knowing that it is done according to my word.
And So It Is

Affirmative Prayer For Peace of Mind



Affirmative Prayer For Peace of Mind

There is One Mind, It is the Mind of God, the Mind of the Living Spirit Almighty. The nature of this One Mind is peace. The wholeness of creation is expressed through this One Mind. Love is Its activity. It is all-powerful and all-knowing. This One Mind is beyond understanding yet available fully and equally to all and all alike.

My mind is a part of the One Mind, the only Mind. Its peace is my peace, Its love is active through me.

From this understanding of my oneness with that creative power that has brought me to life, I declare that peace reigns supreme in my mind. I am a center of the activity of the One Mind. Its love has Its action in me. I find peace of mind in this realization of oneness. Through love and peace I come to trust life to bring the highest good to every circumstance and every situation. I align my thoughts with the nature of the One Mind, with Its abiding peace and unconditional love.

From a place of trust then, I give thanks for a greater revealing of my oneness with the Living Spirit Almighty. I give thanks for the peace and love that reside in me as a result of this oneness.

I trust that life is bringing in to my experience a deeper embodiment of this my Word as I release it into the Law.
