Monthly Reflection for May

May Prayer Service

                   With God and You - by May Rowland 

 From earliest childhood I have believed that with God all things are possible. I am sure that most of us believe this, but sometimes we do not understand the part we play in answered prayer. If we put ourselves in the picture and say, “With God and me, all things are possible,” we come closer to the truth. We need to realize that God works through us, that our cooperation with God is very important.
Jesus said, “All things are possible to him who believes” (Mk. 9:23 RSV). If we have only a little faith, as little as a grain of mustard seed, and cry out, “God, help me,” we find it to be enough to meet any challenge.
 
Many times in my experiences I have called upon God in some kind of emergency. I remember one time when my car spun around three times on the ice. I called out, “God, help me!” and instead of the car turning over as seemed inevitable, it straightened out and I proceeded safely ahead. Such incidents happen to all of us.
Sometimes friends ask, “Why doesn’t God heal me?” or “Why am I not experiencing prosperity?” God works through us, not just for us. Jesus taught that “The Father and I are one” (Jn. 10:30), and we develop this awareness of our oneness with God through prayer. God is a warm, loving presence. God’s love is always within us, and we can learn to feel this warm, loving presence whenever we need assurance of God’s help. We are not automatons; we have been given the privilege of cooperating with God to bring the blessings we desire into expression. We can make a covenant with God by affirming: I am willing to let God’s perfect will be done in me.
 
In our willingness to accept God’s perfect plan for us, we will not get far away from the goodness we desire. Personal will binds us to the things we personally desire, but which may not be for our highest good. God never forces us. God simply gives us the freedom of choice, and God is the power ready and willing to be used in the way we choose. We are the ones who make the decision as to what we will do. When we choose to follow the direction of God, the divine intelligence working in and through us, we release tremendous power into our lives. We release a mighty power within us that heals, guides, sustains, and uplifts us. The experiences we have in life are the results of what we think, what we feel, and what we believe. In the overall picture, our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs set the pattern of our lives. We can direct this power within us. We can release the love, light, and goodness of God within us through everything we say and do. In so doing, we are cooperating with God in bringing good into expression in our lives.
 
Jesus’ wonderful teachings tell us where we make contact with God. When asked about the kingdom of God, Jesus said, “Nor will they say, ‘Look, here it
is!’ or ‘There it is!’ For, in fact, the kingdom of God is among you” Lk. 17:21). While God is omnipresent, like the air we breathe, our place of contact is within us. When we make inner contact with God, it is easy to feel the divine presence everywhere. Wherever we are, God’s loving presence is with us, within us, around and about us, always guiding, protecting, and caring for us.
 
Charles Fillmore said that the greatest teaching given to humanity is “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Col 1:27). The Christ within is the working power that upholds and inspires us. When we recognize the Christ within us, we feel a great upliftment, a great rejoicing. We give thanks to God for this glorious presence within us. All life is different when we awaken to this knowledge.
 
In conclusion, I would say: Do your prayer work every day. Use your God-given power in meeting your problems. Think happy, positive thoughts, and the joy of the Lord will uplift and bless you. Learn through prayer to meet life courageously and fearlessly. Give your problems the light touch; do not take them too seriously or talk about them. Remember that with God and you, all things are possible.                       #680

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.
