Prayers and Quotes on Oneness

Almighty God, who are mother and father to us all,

Look upon your planet Earth divided.

Help us to know that we are all your children,

That all nations belong to one great family,

And that all of our religions lead to you.

Multiply our prayers in every land

Until the whole Earth becomes your congregation,

United in your love.

Sustain our vision of a peaceful future

And give us strength to work unceasingly

To make that vision real. Amen

                                   ~ Helen Weaver 

Father, Mother, Creator of all humankind,

Let there be raised to power those who love Thee

and who have the ability to meet the needs of the time

and thus hasten the day when peace will fill the earth.

We surround with light the leaders of the nations,

cutting off all negativity, so that the divine spark within each

may manifest in leadership for the good of each group

and thus for the world.

We pray for all nations, territories, 

and islands of the world and their leaders.

We pray for all the troubled spots over the earth.

We pray for the stability of the continental land masses

and island groups; the purification of all the waters of the earth,

the healing of the atmosphere and of mother earth herself,

and that all the peoples of the world may be good stewards

of the earth and all the resources of their lands.

We pray for all religious leaders and teachers,

religions and spiritual groups that teach the Oneness of God

and the brother-sisterhood of all humankind.

We send your light, love, joy, healing power, and peace

to every receptive center of consciousness in the earth . . .

and bring in the universe . . .

and pray that it be reflected therefrom 

to bring peace and harmony throughout the whole. Amen

Send Thy peace O Lord, which is perfect and everlasting,

that our souls may radiate peace.

Send Thy peace O Lord, that we may think, act, and speak harmoniously.

Send Thy peace O Lord, that we may be contented and thankful for Thy bountiful gifts.

Send Thy peace O Lord, that amidst our worldly strife, we may enjoy Thy bliss.

Send Thy peace O Lord, that we may endure all, tolerate all, 

in the thought of Thy grace and mercy.

Send Thy peace O Lord, that our lives may become a Divine vision,

and in Thy light, all darkness may vanish.

Send Thy peace O Lord, our Father and Mother, that we Thy children on Earth

may unite in one family. Amen

Hindu Prayer for Peace 

Oh God, lead us from the unreal to the Real.
Oh God, lead us from darkness to light.
Oh God, lead us from death to immortality.
Shanti, Shanti, Shanti unto all.

Oh Lord God almighty, may there be peace in celestial regions.
May there be peace on earth.
May the waters be appeasing.
May herbs be wholesome, and may trees and plants bring peace to all.
 

May all beneficent beings bring peace to us.
May thy Vedic Law propagate peace all through the world.
May all things be a source of peace to us.
And may thy peace itself, bestow peace on all,
and may that peace come to me also.

Gandhi's Prayer for Peace

I offer you peace.

I offer you love.

I offer you friendship.

I see your beauty.

I hear your need.

I feel your feelings.

My wisdom flows from the highest source.

I salute that source in you.

Let us work together.

For unity and peace.

Rumi on Oneness

my place is the placeless,
the trace of the traceless
neither body
or soul

i belong to the Beloved,
have seen the two worlds as One
and that One called to
and know:
First,
Last,
Outer,
Inner.

only that breath
breathing,
human - being.

- Rumi
version by Coleman Barks

I am one with this planet.

I am one with all people.

I am one with all life.

All your danger is in discord.

Therefore be at peace henceforward.

And as brothers live together.

Feel your own energy and realize similar energy exists 
within the Earth, stones, plants, 
water, wind, fire, colors, and animals.
