Peace starts with a prayer.

About This Quote

To begin with, peace starts with a prayer. According to the Bible, God has given us on earth three great gifts: the gift of life, the gift of freedom, and the gift of faith. All of these are gifts that no one can take away from us. If we do not have these gifts, our lives are sad, empty, and lonely.

Through prayer, we can receive these gifts. Through prayer, we can overcome any problem that threatens to destroy our lives. What is the difference between a prayer and an incantation? A prayer is a petition to God for God’s mercy on ourselves or for help in overcoming some difficulty.

An incantation is just a prayer that has been repeated until it becomes meaningless and mechanical.
