Monthly Reflection for October

October Prayer Service

                       BE STILL! by S. Stevens-Hatfield
 
“Be still and know that I am God!” (Ps. 46:10)  God is speaking to you.  God speaks from a place within your own mind and heart, a place to which you can turn from the confusion and perplexity of the world about you and find the poise and tranquillity that you need to meet life’s varied and often challenging experiences.
 
“Be still and know that I am God!” Know it now.  Know it right in the place where you are, in the thing that you are doing.  Let it pervade your consciousness, your whole being.  Let it be with you every moment, enfolding, uplifting, strengthening you.  Throughout this day, in your home, in your work, on the street, wherever you go, whatever you are called upon to do, be still and turn within to God; instantly you will feel God with you, a real and living presence in your life.
 
Turn to God now.  Relax and feel God lifting you mind and heart, soothing your nerves, giving peace to your body.  As you thank God for this time of silent meditation, you will feel God’s presence near you, around you, within you – a constant guide, protector and friend.
 
If you are living or working under tension, return again and again to this place of stillness at the centre of your being.  When your mind is troubled, call you thoughts to order with the quiet command, “Be still and know”.  Relax in God’s peace and security, and rest and renewal will be yours.
 
The moments you spend in prayer will bring a wealth of blessings to you.  You will find new loveliness in life, a grandeur that is beyond the power of words to express.  Heavy duties become light; the hours glide by as gently and as peaceably as a summer breeze.  In quiet communion with God, you find the peace, contentment and serenity of life that is complete.
 
In the deep spiritual quietness of your soul, where you realise that you are one with God, you will find the strength and wisdom needed to meet any situation which may arise.   No matter what turmoil and confusion surround you, in this infinite stillness at the centre of your being, you will find peace.  How is this accomplished?  By taking your thought off the problem and placing it upon God’s presence within you.  By directing your thought to the centre of your being and saying softly, quietly, knowingly, “Be still and know that I am God!”
 
Learn to be still at the very centre of your being.  When you realise that God is forever right where you are, you will know that you do not need to reach out in every direction.  Whatever you are called on to do, you have only to turn within, to attune your mind to God’s.  Be still and listen to God’s voice of wisdom so that you may understand what God would have you do.  “In all your ways acknowledge him” (Prov. 3:6).
 
Be still. “Be still and know that I am God!”           #746

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.
