 One of my beautiful experiences in Unity is the awareness that so many people care about helping others through prayer. An action that comes not from fear, but love.
Sometimes, we use prayer as a last resort – once we have done everything we can, and it has not worked, we then turn to God in prayer. We have forgotten that in Unity, our first step is to pray, from a sense of faith and love. Then we act. When it comes to world peace, we may think, what can I do to impact this? Just me, in my corner of the world … What we can do, first and last is pray, knowing we are not alone. Further, when many hearts and minds come together in prayer, from the experience of Oneness with each other and with God as our Source of peace, we feel different and potentially, lives are changed. We experience this each year in September when we hold Unity’s World Day of Prayer, Now I write, sharing about an organisation who, annually, pray for a week for World Peace, this year running from 12-19 October. Instead of our hearts feeling heavy or troubled by the news, we can know that many people around the world are holding others in prayers of peace and following through with good deeds and acts of loving kindness. This week I encourage you to hold a vision of our world in peace, knowing that you are not alone. Every positive thought, prayer and action adds to a world consciousness of peace. We make a difference together. Rev Kimerie Mapletoft Director of Silent Unity and Daily Word, UK
