 A recent Daily Word (12 June 2025) focused on praying for others: “I pray all people are strengthened and supported by God’s love.”What a beautiful vision to hold for another – that every dear one we know, and anyone who comes into our minds and hearts, are uplifted by God’s love. Take a moment to get still, relax and centre yourself into Divine Peace and Love, and hold this vision and affirmation for those whom you hold in prayer. Rest here awhile, for what a gift this is to share in our world.
Sue Sikking, in her book, A Letter to Adam, wrote, “True prayer is not asking for things, not even the best things. Prayer is the lifting of the consciousness to the place where these things are.” This means holding the vision of God as perfect life, love, joy, peace etc. with, within and through each one, here and now. Eric Butterworth, in his book, The Universe is Calling, wrote, “Prayer is not something we do to God, or a ceremony we perform for God. It is an experience of our own God-potential … it is self-realisation, self-expansion. It is getting centred within and re-establishing ourselves in the flow of the infinite creative process.” For you see, in Unity, we do not pray to fix or change a situation or a person. We are not praying from the experience of the problem. We pray to centre ourselves in the Divine experience of love/wisdom/joy/peace etc. And from this inner experience, bring our dear ones into this knowing and hold them there in the beautiful, profound, limitless energy we call God. This does mean part of our preparation is to gently move through and let go of any thought of doubt; any feeling of fear or lack. These feelings are not wrong; yet they will get in the way of being God-centred and holding the high watch of God fully present and active, here and now. That is our work, when we pray for another. For as soon as we let go of a problem needing to be fixed, the solution presents itself, for all of us. The invitation today is to practice getting centred and still in the Divine Heart/Mind that is God, move through and let go of any thought of anything else, and watch the blessings flow. If you have experiences of how prayer has worked for you – do let us know. And if our prayer ministry can support you or another at this time, either email us here or call our prayer line: 01628 628916. A fully trained prayer volunteer will take your call, Monday – Friday, 9.30-4.30. Outside those hours we have a beautiful message of prayer support for you to listen to. We, in Silent Unity, are here with you, in prayer. Rev. Kimerie Mapletoft Director of Silent Unity and Daily Word UK
