“I want everyone everywhere to lift innocent hands toward heaven and pray, without being angry or arguing with each other.” (I Timothy 2: 8, Contemporary English Version)
The world would benefit from our following this direction. If we were to truly turn toward God, toward that light of Love, and listen for His Truth, we would surely feel blessed. And if we were to do this with a heart full of peace with one another, we could begin to feel that true unity in our own lives and to witness it in the greater world as well.
What does it mean to lift innocent hands? Well, I think it may mean that we find that humility within us, let go of resentments and blame and shame, and like eager children turn our attention toward God. We can mentally lift our hands in praise of God’s goodness and strength; in praise of His creation that is harmonious and lovable and loved by Him.
We can start fresh in this moment, with our arms outstretched to receive and feel the refreshing baptism of God’s light and to awake to His promise—one that leaves us feeling renewed and joyous, expectant of good and not jaded or gloomy.
And this genuine prayer, this yearning and yielding, must leave behind divisiveness and argument, anger and self-justification. To receive God’s blessing, we must honor Him and to honor God is to honor Love itself.
Awake to and awash in this Love, we feel forgiving and forgiven. We are ready to walk arm in arm with others and bring peace to the hearts of all.
