A friend just reminded me to pray for Puerto Rico regarding hurricane Maria, and for Mexico with a major earthquake. Lately I have not knelt or stopped in a quiet area of the house to get into a praying mood, but there is a simpler, faster and very effective way to do this.
Set your intention and the reason for your prayer, in your mind and in your heart, then say or think, that you are sorry for all the ill and negative thoughts you have had about everything and about everyone. Say or think that you are sorry for your temper, your gossip, your criticism, your lack of appreciation, respect and compassion for everything and for everyone. Finally, commit to live a life devoid of criticism and accusation, especially for yourself.
Maybe, the hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts, famine and wars, and other world disasters, are a message that we need to change and live by love alone. Not easy but we can try.
