From Spiritual Leader Rev. Dr. Soni Cantrell-Smith
Beloved CSL communities, join us in prayer for those affected by the fires in Southern California. At this time, Ahiah CSL in Pasadena has been turned into a shelter. North Hollywood CSL will be collecting blankets, warm clothes, and water this Sunday. Granada Hills CSL is safe at this time. However, information is coming in slowly, home status is uncertain for many and smoke is pervasive. Prayers have been requested:
There is one Presence, one Power, one Infinite Intelligence that moves through all creation. This Divine Presence is the Source of all life, harmony and peace. It is the essence of love and balance, expressing itself perfectly in all ways, at all times.
I am one in, through and as this Infinite Presence. The same life that breathes me, breathes all beings, all creatures and every aspect of this earth. As I recognize my oneness with the Divine, I affirm that this unity extends to Los Angeles County and all who are impacted by the fires.
I declare that Divine Intelligence guides the firefighters, first responders and all who are working to restore safety and peace. Their actions are directed with clarity, courage and strength as the very life of the Divine. I affirm and claim without delay, all the atmosphere around in and through the fires is now calmed, and the winds diminish, allowing for the swift containment of the fires.
I know absolutely that the natural balance of the earth is restored, bringing rains in their perfect season to nourish and renew the land. I see all those affected—human, animal and plant—embraced by Divine love and care. Resources flow freely to those in need, and communities come together in unity and compassion with an overflow of love.
In the midst of this situation, I know the Divine is active, bringing forth healing, resilience and renewal.
I give thanks for the Divine Presence that is already at work in this situation, working in perfect order restoring balance and creating peace. I am grateful for the courage and kindness expressed by all involved and for the Spirit of Unity that uplifts everyone touched by this event.
I release this word into the action of the Law, knowing it is already done. And so it is.
