Digging for Courage: Prayer for Bullying

I see a lot of people concerned with the actions of others. You cannot control others. This attempt to restrict free movement and free speech is creating a trauma that has already damaged society.

I am uplifted by Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s quote:

“The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either — but right through every human heart — and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained.”

I have been using the term “bullies.” It is an unfair label. It is my reaction to the bullying tactics almost universally employed by those who act to enforce government mandates through coercion and shame. These tactics are fed and driven by fear. That line between good and evil shifts in each heart as Fear and Love move within us.

Solzhenitsyn reminds us that even the most fearful heart can shift back to a loving place.

Today I’m praying for Love. Firstly, my own. I will feed my body good food, exercise, positive and powerful information, quiet, gratitude, and self-love. I will explore new places in my mind as I too am fearful of the social consequences of adventuring to new physical places.

I pray for compassion and healing.

Prayer is active. It orients your body toward the good.

Go inward, find that big ball of Love that isn’t getting enough attention, spend some time with it.

God bless and thank you for reading,
