Pray Without Ceasing

Pray Without Ceasing

We search for God with all our heart when we pray without ceasing. We pray without ceasing when we look for the good in all we encounter and try to draw it forth.

To pray without ceasing does not mean that we constantly think about God or that we keep the word, "God! God!" on our lips.

We pray without ceasing when we habitually meet whatever comes to us with faith and with love, with a mind to draw from the event all that it has to give, with a willingness to do whatever has to be done to make the most and the best of it.

We pray without ceasing when we refer the events of life to God.

Affirm Life!

When he was 94 years old, Charles Fillmore wrote the following affirmation: “I fairly sizzle with zeal and enthusiasm and spring forth with a mighty faith to do the things that ought to be done by me.” How wonderful to affirm such energy and vibrancy!

Affirmative prayer is a useful tool for focusing our thoughts on the truth that we are spiritual beings, filled with vibrant energy and renewing life. We, too, can use this tool in our daily lives. When we pray affirmatively about a health challenge, we are recognizing the life of God within.

Reaching In: A Conversation With Lynne Brown

Q: Silent Unity has provided free prayer services for people around the world for more than 100 years. To begin, tell us why Unity founders Charles and Myrtle Fillmore used prayer as the foundation for the Unity movement.

Prayer was central to their own transformation. The beginning of our Unity movement was the result of healings they experienced in their lives, and they shared about these experiences in their writings. As they shared spiritual principles and practices with individuals, prayer was core. It was central to their very life experience and to their transformation.
