The Benefits of Praying for People to Find Peace Within Themselves

Praying for People

Kurt Evans
There are many benefits of praying for people to find peace within themselves.

Benefits Of People Having Peace Within Themselves

One of the major benefits of people having peace within themselves is that they're not bothering you. As human beings, we tend to put out into the world whatever we find within ourselves.

Feeling Reflected Back To The World

If we're angry, then that feeling is reflected back to the world. If we're anxious or nervous, then that's what gets reflected back to the world. We always play this game with ourselves and think that we can hide how we're really feeling from the world.

Body Language

When people are able to read body language, they're able to get some idea of what is going on with you.

Peace Within

If everybody on the planet had peace within themselves then, we would have no war, we would have no suffering, and there would be no conflict.

Peace Within Your Own Heart

When you have peace within your own heart, that's when you're able to be helpful to other people. People who have peace within themselves don't have time to bother other people because they are too busy working on themselves. People who have peace within them selves are able to recognize that there's nothing to gain from putting other people down.

Alcoholics Anonymous

I attend a lot of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings because I'm an alcoholic. I need to be reminded on a daily basis the kind of hell and misery that alcohol causes for those of us who are alcoholics.

Pray

Sometimes, in Alcoholics Anonymous I hear people suggest that you should pray for bad things to happen to those who have wronged you in the past and that you dislike. I disagree with this way of thinking.

Better Solution

I think that it would be a better solution to pray for these same people to find peace within themselves.

Forgive

No matter how much a person has wronged you in the past, if you're not able to let go of that resentment and forgive them; that resentment will eat you alive.

Forgiveness

When you sincerely pray for someone and want the best for him or her; then, there's a certain amount of forgiveness in that act alone.

Praying For People

The benefits of praying for people to find peace within themselves clearly, outweighs the benefits of any other actions.

    I have to agree with Betty based on a family situation. Accepting the situation is sometimes the only satisfactory resolution when somebody close refuses to acknowledge they have done anything wrong.

    I think sometimes "forgiving" someone who hurt you is like saying "it's okay that you hurt me". I think instead of "forgiving", maybe we should call it "accepting". We accept that someone hurt us, but we also know that the person is toxic to us and cannot be a part of our lives anymore. We don't want to dwell on the anger or hurt, but we certainly don't want to say it's okay that it happened. Our peace of mind is the most important thing.
