Answer to World Peace
Cast your burden on the LORD, and He shall sustain you: He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22 (NKJV)

Unless you have been living in a cave and completely out of touch, it's impossible not to hear of all the horrible things happening in the world-wars, massive earthquakes, famines. tsunamis, terrorism, school shootings, robberies, murders. and on and on. The crime rate is higher than ever before, and it's difficult to feel truly safe. And if that wasn't enough, your internal stress-O-meter is higher than ever-trying to meet unrealistic goals and expectations from bosses, coworkers, friends, family, and even our spouses! It's no mystery why so many people are turning to drugs and alc*hol for a way of escape! However, numbing our senses and living a life of sin will not bring the peace and security we seek. Jesus is the only answer to world peace! We may not know what the future holds, but we do know who holds the future! When we are surrendered to our Lord and Savior, there is no need to worry and fret. God has it all under control! We can live each day with full confidence knowing our future is bright because we can trust in God's perfect plan!

sarap sana pakinggan... but tell me how realistic the stuff you are talking about?

yes, my stress-o-meter is up to the roof. but what can I do? how would my physical body and my dependents will survive if i don't engage with my bullish boss and untoward coworkers? won't u be stressed out if u r unable to pay ur rent or unable to feed urself or ur family members? will jesus pay my bills if i don't work and just worship him all day and night and foods will magically appear over my table?

the more realistic approach is: sometimes u gotta dance with the wolves not because u like it but because u need it.

world peace??? how can there be world peace if 90% of the world's population is starving while the 1% live in heavenly luxury?

Ecclesiastes 6:7
7 We do all our work just to get something to eat, but we never have enough.

James 4:1-2 (GNT)
1 Where do all the fights and quarrels among you come from? They come from your desires for pleasure, which are constantly fighting within you.
2 You want things, but you cannot have them, so you are ready to kill; you strongly desire things, but you cannot get them, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have what you want because you do not ask God for it.

Just sharing but I'll respect it if that's your belief

 

[Asherah Goddess]

Pwede naman hindi ma stress ang tao. Meditation. Meron psychological effect ang meditation. Ginagamit ito some psychiatrist para sa mga tao na meron mentally disorder katulad ng panic attack, at maraming iba pa.

Buddhist Atheist - which is philosophy ng Buddhism na meron zen meditation. Walang God ang Buddhism (though sabi ng ibang tao ay meron daw God or religion raw siya, it depends pa rin)- yung mga Atheist, ilan Atheist lang naman ay nagiging Buddhist at nakakatulong rin siya dahil even if there is no God, nag pa practice lang sila ng meditation ay nakaka rid din ng stress at depression.

So God and prayers is nakakatulong sa lahat ng mga Christian at hindi lang Christian, sa lahat ng mga Theist pero even if walang God, as long as he or she knows how to meditate at nag pa practice siya daily, well, nakakatulong din siya.

All in all, ang meditation is applied po siya sa mga tao kahit meron God or wala itong God. Yung prayers ay applicable lang talaga sa mga Theist iyan pero ang meditation ay universally, para sa lahat-lahat ng mga tao dahil pwede naman e meditate ang praying to God e. Promise. Pwede siya. Nakalimutan ko ang tawag doon.

Ang meditation is a spiritual tool siya. Yung praying is for religious tool naman siya applicable only for Theist at kung sino man napapaloob sa religion.
