When more love, understanding, and harmony are needed in a family, it's really a change of heart by the individuals that is needed. I pray for a change-not to change the other people in my family, but for the wisdom to realize that the only person I am responsible for changing in or am able to change is me.
I can be the one to bring more love, understanding and harmony into my family. I can do this through my thoughts, my words, and my actions. I prepare myself through my daily times of prayer and meditation.
When I pray, I feel my vital connection with God's spirit within me. I am peaceful, and I contribute peace to my relationships. Then something magical happens: The more loving and peaceful I am, the more I encourage the members of my family to express these qualities.
