THE PRAYER

by Matt Johnson

It has been proven that many minds thinking the same thing and saying the same thing at the same time make things happen. Anyone with experience in large scale prayer knows this to be true.

We all know that everything begins as a thought. This can be good or evil. It can be a sandwich, a car, a building, a kiss, a murder, a skyscraper, a vote, a mean word, a punch, a compliment …anything. It begins as a thought. That thought becomes something we say. Then finally it becomes something we do with our hands.

When we say something, it becomes an image and a thought in the head of someone else. That thought/image we planted can then take root and get them doing something they otherwise might not have ever done. They may fight the thought or image off if they have a strong opinion of their own. Or they may let the thought become reality by repeating it and doing it. This can explode exponentially as they repeat it to others. If the thing said is repeated often, it can wear down someone with a differing opinion over time until they agree with the thought and the thought becomes their own.

This is how advertising works. This is how propaganda works. This is how selling works. This can be used for good or evil. It can be used to teach a child or it can be used to sway the masses to do the will of a leader. Hopefully, the parent or the leader wants good things, but such is not always the case. All of this is a type of magic that can be used for good or evil.

In the Bible, we read the Lord’s Prayer given by Jesus. He sets a template for prayer. I grew up Lutheran and we repeated the Lord’s Prayer every Sunday throughout my entire childhood. It teaches you to forgive, to be thankful and to revere God. All good things. I came up with the following prayer for our times. Please take time to pray this prayer whenever you can. It fits with any religion or belief. It could have power even if said by someone with no beliefs. You could do it in the morning, at midday and before bed if possible. Imagine if the whole world would pray a prayer like this. Imagine it beginning as a thought, then spoken and then becoming something we do. Imagine a better world. Please share this prayer with everyone you know. Peace.
