I hold the vision of wholeness

​Eric Butterworth, Unity Minister and author, told us: Prayer is not to set life right but to see life rightly.
 
So often, we feel the need to sort things out, fix the world, including our physical bodies, to experience the changes we want or need to see. All of this is because we feel uncomfortable, angry or upset about what we are witnessing or experiencing – the world is just not the way we want it to be. Truthfully, I agree, we could live in a happier, more peaceful and harmonious world.

However, In Unity we teach that we find this in ourselves first – we can choose to experience peace and see peace; we can consciously align with our wholeness and know our wholeness; we can connect into the power of Love as a Divine Idea and quality here for all of us equally, no matter how we are experiencing the world. We can let go into the flow of Infinite Life and know it is an enduring quality we can tap into, body, heart and mind, for ourselves and our world.
 
This week, I invite you to join me in seeing the world rightly. When you find yourself getting angry and upset, take a few moments to turn your attention inward, breathe and settle into peace; allow peace to rise from within you; know this peace is a state of being within everyone in the world. Then take whatever actions you are guided to take, within the quality of peace.
 
Take time each day to allow the energy of Divine Life to radiate in every cell and atom in your body. Claim it with an affirmation: In the mind of God, I am healthy, whole and free. Let this energy of wholeness resonate within you. Then witness this as the truth for everyone you hold in prayer.
 
Instead of fixing the world, we are aligning within the Absolute Truth, the beautiful radiant energy of God expressing as peace and life through us and as us. This is the empowering way of Unity prayer. I encourage you to take this knowing into the silence so that it becomes a deep abiding experience and then act as peace, wholeness, wisdom and love in our world. Be the change you wish to see. You may be amazed.
