The Red Cloud and the Moral Crossroads-A World in Spiritual Collapse

My Prayer for the Ayatollah and the People of Iran

3-1-2026

This is not about politics; it is not about who is right or wrong. It is about the spiritual warfare upon the soul of humanity.

By Rev. Paula Josephine Sadler

Dear friends and spiritual seekers,

It is with great sadness that we see yet more death and more killing. Innocent lives have been lost. This is not how it had to be.

The death of Ayatollah Khamenei is not a victory for the United States or Israel. It is not a victory for the world. It is not something to be celebrated.

It shows the moral decline and the spiritual war in which we are engaged — a battle for the human soul — where we justify murder, killing, and death. Where we bomb countries and kill innocent people, where children are being killed. Where we abduct presidents of countries and bomb boats in the ocean. Where we have a personal militia of the president — not even a secret police, but out in the open — killing citizens and harassing and dehumanizing not only immigrants, but all who love and care for them, and even our own citizens.

While we have an active genocide toward LGBTQ people, with a specific hatred toward transgender people and children, stripping them of dignity, of healthcare, and of legal status, we are in very grave and desperate times in the United States and in the world.

It is the collapse of society. We must act quickly to save ourselves.

Last year, in The Garden and the Flame, I wrote about a remote viewing that now feels painfully relevant. I described seeing red smoke rising over shallow waters, a biohazard symbol overhead, and land filled with holes — perforations in the earth from drilling, bombing, and exploitation.

I wrote:

“The red cloud rises—not merely from war, but from the hollowness of corrupted power. This vision warns of spiritual contamination, moral descent, and the global price of unchecked ambition.”

And again:

“From the first Western drill in 1908 to the latest airstrike, the land has been perforated, drained, and violated. Each well drilled for profit became a wound. Each bomb dropped, a scar. Each sanction passed, a drought of hope.”

What I saw was not just geopolitical conflict. It was contamination of conscience. It was the spiritual consequence of choosing domination over dignity, extraction over empathy, power over peace.

The red cloud was not only smoke from missiles. It was moral corrosion — the normalization of violence as strategy and death as policy.

We are living in a moment where we must decide what kind of humanity we are becoming.

I pray that all murder, death, and killing end, that there is an end to all war and conflict, and that there is a transformation toward love and dignity, humankindness, and truly learning what unconditional love is from each and every human being toward one another.

This is the only thing that will save us now.

And I pray that the God of all people save us from ourselves.

My Prayer for the Ayatollah and the People of Iran

Dear God,

I pray for the ascension of the Ayatollah to return to Your care and Your unconditional love, knowing that what has happened is a grave injustice.

I pray for peace in Iran, Israel, and the United States, knowing that this peace will not come through war and death.

I pray that You send Your angels to minister to all of those who are suffering — all of the children, all of the people, all of the innocent lives. I pray for the release of the hatred that is in the hearts of people around the world who view Iran or Muslims as a threat, and that there be an exchange of love, and that healing be swift and quick.

I pray that there is an end to this conflict, and that those who are responsible for it take full accountability — spiritually, morally, and publicly — and that they make amends to the world.

Our world is suffering. Our world is dying. With every death, with every murder, with every bomb, with every bullet, we move closer toward the end, as it has always been.

I pray for the upliftment of the consciousness of the whole of humanity — to end all suffering everywhere — and for mass enlightenment: to know You, to love You, to embrace the principle of unconditional love as our greatest healer and teacher in this world.

Right now, we need this.

I pray for the people of the world to love and accept one another as they are, embracing each and every faith and belief with dignity, with respect, and with honor. There is enough room in this world for everyone to believe in their concept of You and their understanding of You.

I pray that there is an end to all hatred and suffering, an end to all violence. This can be achieved. If it can happen between two people, if it can happen for just a moment, if there can be peace — and there has been — then we can grow that, and it can be everywhere.

We thank You for this answered prayer, to You, Father-Mother God.

And so it is.

Amen.

This is not about politics. It is not about Republican or Democrat. It is not about an Islamic Republic, theocratic rule, or a Supreme Leader.

This is about a spiritual collapse. This is about spiritual warfare.

This is about the difference between unawakened consciousness and the awakened potential of love within each human being. It is about the unawakened heart versus the awakened heart. The unawakened mind versus the awakened mind and soul.

Make no mistake — this is the battle for the soul of humanity. And this war has been waging since the beginning of time.

The question is: What are we going to do about it? But more importantly, what can you do? And what will you do?

I stand firm in my resolve to be an agent of change and healing in the world — one loving word, one kind gesture, one prayer, one heart reaching toward another with open arms to embrace everyone in the world.

This is where healing begins. And this is where healing continues.

I am Sorry, Please Forgive Me, Thank you, I Love You

Let us all say this prayer over and over until it becomes true.
