Beloved Children of the Light,
Prayers for America - The Family of Nations
Each nation comes into being with a soul-identity and purpose that is meant to be of benefit to the Earth. At this time of the presidential election, prayers are needed that America's deepest identity and purpose be upheld.

The destiny of a country is shaped by its Divine mission, appointed at the time of its inception, the time when its 'soul' comes into being. This mission which defines its energetic contribution to the world and in some ways its national character, is also defined by the hearts, minds, and conscience of a people as it evolves through time, building upon the innate characteristics that are part of the national heritage, and taking these to new levels of unfoldment of their Divine potential.
Nations, no matter how large or small, have an inherent contribution to make to the world. They contribute both resources and spiritual energy to the family of nations, and in this way function like a vital organ within the body of the Earth and the family of man. To veer from the higher potential of development for a nation so that it seeks or resides in its lowest potential, not only has an effect on the people of that nation, but also on the collective consciousness of which it is a part.
Thus, nations, as well as people, must hold themselves accountable to align with their highest motives for the benefit of all, and to remain aligned with these motives though challenges may face them and fear may come into play.
America, today, faces this challenge, this fork in the road. In the decision-making process currently taking place this electoral year, she faces the choice between realizing her highest potential or taking a lower road. What that choice will mean for the present is unclear, but it will determine a variety of outcomes that will emerge from the current situation. However, America is also being guided and guarded by forces that are greater than campaign motivations and impulses and greater than their espoused policies and principles. She is being guided by forces within the Realms of Light that are ever watchful in helping her to continue to move forward to meet and fulfill her Divine mission to the Earth.
America's future does not rest entirely on this election. Rather, it rests in the hearts of a people that can be influenced, for a time, by ideas that take it away from the very ideals that are part of its core identity, but which will ultimately bring it back to stand firmly on the foundation of these ideals.
Because of the importance of the choices being made, and of our desire to reduce the suffering that will ensue as a result of these choices, we must pray, today, for the people of this land, for the candidates of both parties, and for the leaders of all nations, to support the ideals that America stands for and to remain faithful to these ideals at the present time. All that is light-filled and holy within the higher Realms of Light stands with America at this juncture, enabling her to make the choice that will lead her in the direction of serving the greatest good. Amen.
If you have not done so already, please consider reciting the Invocations, in whole or in part, at the beginning of ‘One World Meditations,’ or regularly throughout the week. These prayers and invocations are powerful, and join each individual and group prayer with those beings of light praying within the Realms of Light for the future of America. In addition, a poem/prayer that can be said alone at any time is "I Am America."
