H everyone,
Just because no-one has posted about praying about a predicted disaster doesn't mean that no-one is praying! I certainly was and know that all of my church friends were too. I was very saddened that, though East Anglia was spared, across the Channel in Holland they did not come off so lightly.
Giles, I agree that one shouldn't concenrate on the predicted problem, anymore than if one was praying to be free from the belief of disease, you would concentrate on it - that sort of prayer doesn't work! It's aligning your consciousness with spiritual Reality, the the one universal divine Mind, which is allways perfect and harmonious, that is effective.
During my flyng days I had many many wonderful experiences with weather (several times Captains would use the word "miracle") and have quite often been able to literaly see though thunderstorms as they gather above, but when whole nations are whipped up wih fear (like with an advancing hurricane) it is more difficult than if you are just dealing with your own thought!
With the predicted approach of more violent weather due to clmate change, it is time that manknd learnt that we are not simply victims of chance and conditions out of control. We can all bring about the normalisation of nature if we learnt how to pray effectively. Mary Baker Eddy predicted: ".. the atmosphere of the human mind, when cleansed of self and permeated with divine Love, will reflect this purified subjective state in clearer skies, less thunderbolts, tornadoes, and extremes of heat and cold;" (Miscellany p 265)
Here's the link to a thread I started on Weather with several experiences:
Huh! I just went to the search box of www.spirituality.com to read their articles on the weather and there were 72. Anyway, I had a look at a few including this one:
[url]Question of the Week: "Have you ever prayed for God's help during severe weather? What happened?"[/url]
and the second one sounded familiar - blow me down, it was from an article I sent in years ago and which was rejected! Well, thanks to this thread, I now know!
Love and peace,
Judy
On the local news last night,(Kent) some places were 8 inches away from 'disaster'. However, what astounded me was the stupidity of some people who went to see the midday high tide within a close proximity- what would of happened had the tidal surge happened??:confused: 😡
Apparently tidal surges in Kent have been predicted to happen every ten years now, as opposed to every hundred due to climate change.

My point was that, even with good intentions, the fact that you are focusing on a negative event that has not yet happened could still effect the situation in a negative way.
Love and Reiki Hugs
Wonder who said about focusing on negativity.
Preventing disaster is definetely about very different
things[substantial information on this forum,
in addition].
