Our latest Monthly Prayer Service led by Rev. Kimerie Mapletoft
|
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. A documentary on the work of the Silent Unity Prayer Ministry in the UK

Unity's Prayer Groups and Services
|
Since the very first prayer groups were formed by the Fillmore's in the US almost a century and a half ago, the experience of gathering together informally to affirm healing, inner peace, strength, guidance and divine order through mutual prayer, has been a central and vital part of the Unity spiritual movement.
On this website you will find details and descriptions of many prayer services we hold through the day. And here on this video you will find a wonderful archive recording of an especially profound prayer service held thirty years ago during Unity's World Conference in Birmingham. We encourage you to listen and experience the power of Unity prayer work for yourself.. At the top and bottom of this web page you will also find videos of other prayer services which you may find helpful, for example on Healing and Wholeness in your life. Do visit our contact pages if you want current details of Unity groups in the UK. |

The Healing Power of Christ by Silent Unity We are not what we appear to be – frail human beings subject to the ravages of ill-health and circumstance. We are spiritual beings with the power of the Christ and the potential to express perfection. When we place ourselves under the tutelage of the Christ in us, we begin to see ourselves as we really are – free and whole – filled with health, strength, and vitality. How glorious it is to realise that the power of the Christ within us is healing life and unfailing energy! God intended us to be healthy, happy, exhilarated beings, for when we are in the vigour of perfect health we can live to our fullest capacity and fulfil God’s purpose for us. In the healing ministry that marked the life of Jesus, we see the way God calls us to life and health. “By opening to us the avenue of return to God,” writes Imelda Octavia Shanklin, “the Christ heals us spiritually. This healing… restores the soul to wholeness and the body… to soundness.” Prayer is the avenue by which we return to God. The faithful practice of prayer attunes us to the healing power of the Christ within. Prayer is a definite, positive step in the direction of good health, for it opens our minds to ideas of life, strength, and perfection. Diligence in affirmative prayer maintains our awareness of the healing power flowing through us to heal even long-standing, deep-rooted disease. Become still, now, dear friend, and know your oneness with God through the Christ in you. Banish every thought of weakness, disorder, and tension, and think of every part of your being as filled with the pure, free-flowing life of the Christ. Direct your attention to the Christ in you and say with us: I am attuned to the Christ. I am healthy, strong, and vitally alive. “You are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you” (Rom. 8:9). The spirit of God eternally abides in you, a spark ready to be set aflame by the Christ. Quicker than a flash, the Christ awakens us to our oneness with God, the source of our desired healing and eternal health. As we maintain ourselves in the realisation of our oneness with God and receive our own healings, we become increasingly aware of our power to help others. When we hear of the illness of friends or relatives, our first impulse should be to pray for their perfect healing. In our prayers for others, we look past all discouraging reports, right through appearances, to the perfect man, woman, or child that God created. Let us speak the word of healing in complete faith that the Christ in every individual is the divine touchstone from which new life and healing spring. As you include in your thoughts others who may need healing, join us in affirming: You are attuned to the Christ. You are healthy, strong, and vitally alive. Rejoice, dear friend, that you are infinitely more than you appear to be. You are a spiritual being, created out of the spirit of God, made in the image of God’s likeness and perfection. God’s will is for you to be healthy and happy, full of the joy of living through the healing power of Christ within you. #699 |
