Prayer and World Peace

“The efficacy of prayer is often measured by the degree to which the individual is willing to become involved in actually working in the world to meet these needs.  A man may share in his prayer his concern for peace in the world and yet, in his own little world, be unwilling to change his private attitude of antagonism or prejudice toward his fellows.”  Howard Thurman

It’s not like God needs my help on that world peace thing, but still, I suspect he would appreciate me handling some of my own conflicts, or maybe even heading them off before they arise.
