Prayer Resources
When the prayer line is closed or busy, you can leave a message with your prayer request. At this time you can also listen to a special prayer message. Many people find listening to these messages, for example through the night, very helpful and uplifting.

Book of Silent Prayer
First published in 1969, Unity’s Book of Silent Prayer quickly became a cherished companion for generations of Unity members. A rich and thoughtful compilation of Unity prayers, reflections, verse, Biblical readings and affirmations for different occasions.
Although the book is now sadly out of print, we present here a short selection of some of the best prayers from the original, in the form of eight short YouTube videos. The words are read by Steve Gough, Sheila Ross and Patricia Rosser – and accompanied by restful natural images and sounds. |

God Hears and Answers Always - Mary Kupferle There is a responding presence that hears your every call, dear friend. There is a responding power that fulfils your every need. This responding presence and power is within you, ready and willing to move through any situation in your life to heal, illumine and bless you. This presence and power is God within. No matter the kind or cause of any dilemma, God hears and answers always. The presence of God responds to every seeking mind and heart as light and peace, guidance and healing, harmony and order. Be assured in this very moment: “The Lord hears when I call” (Ps. 4:3). Release any concern you may have about how much knowledge, strength or faith is required to help yourself or another. Remember instead that Jesus of Nazareth, the greatest healer of all time, looked consistently to God for the answer to everything in life. Jesus taught and proved that the infinite love of God is instantly responsive to any call for help. God’s wisdom responds quickly to strengthen the most hesitant human grasp of spiritual understanding, God’s unceasing, encompassing peace comes quickly to every yearning for inner calm. The Master clearly and powerfully demonstrated that God always responds. This is the nature of the one Presence and Power of whom Jesus spoke and with whom he communicated. If there seems to be no response to your prayers at this time, do not become discouraged. Know absolutely and positively that you can count on the ever-responding presence and power of God. God hears every audible call you speak and the most silent and inexpressible desires of your heart. God answers as you listen and give thanks. Accept the truth that God hears and answers – always! Persistently give thanks to God, the total, the vibrant life that is ready to respond to your call for healing for yourself or another. Give thanks that God’s infinite wisdom is continually present, that God is compassionately hearing your most quiet prayer. Give thanks that god’s all-sustaining love is already providing a perfect response to your earnest seeking for fulfilment. Remember often the assurance of the Creator, voiced through the Psalmist: “When they call me, I will answer them” (Ps. 91:15). You need no longer anxiously question what you can do for loved ones or how you will have sufficient means to meet the needs of business or schooling or investment. Beyond your human vision and intellectual reasoning lie the vast, limitless creations of God. You can maintain a calm and confident attitude in each prayer you pray, because God hears and answers – always! Yes I know there are times when things seem to go wrong, when feelings of hopelessness arise, when the heart seems totally empty and the mind confused – even disbelieving. Then, more than ever, it is important to spend time praising and giving thanks to God, and to keep on pouring out this thankfulness in words such as, “Thank You, God, for hearing and answering – always!” Miracles of life and healing, strength and courage, peace and plenty await such trust in God. As you dedicate your thoughts and feelings to God’s presence, your own personal miracles and answers will be made evident. Let your prayers, now, dear friend, be filled with renewed, revitalised faith in God’s responding power. Know again and again that God hears and answers – always! #458 |

Thank you for your prayers and words of comfort. Thank goodness I am feeling very much better from the recent illness… your support has been of great comfort to me.
Joy
From feeling so alone and troubled, the peace I was longing for, and the comfort from knowing I was being enfolded in prayer, came back to me, and is still with me. Thank you for all that you do and give, it helps one so much. Thank you for continuing to hold me and my loved ones in prayer, which you have done for many years now.

Dear Silent Unity,
I phoned last week for prayers to be said for my husband and son. I am very happy and grateful to say that my husband is getting better every day and my son has already been offered a job he likes. Thank you for putting them on your list of prayers. We thank God for the blessing our family always. We thank Unity for their spiritual support and we deeply appreciate your help. Thank you for the kind letters and support you gave us. It is always a pleasure to receive your letters and excited to read them as well. Your letters always give me some peace of mind and draw me closer to God.
