Prayer Resources
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.

Book of Silent Prayer
First published in 1969, Unity’s Book of Silent Prayer quickly became a cherished companion for generations of Unity members. A rich and thoughtful compilation of Unity prayers, reflections, verse, Biblical readings and affirmations for different occasions.
Although the book is now sadly out of print, we present here a short selection of some of the best prayers from the original, in the form of eight short YouTube videos. The words are read by Steve Gough, Sheila Ross and Patricia Rosser – and accompanied by restful natural images and sounds. |

Monthly Reflection for March |
March Prayer Service Guide |
Imagine That - by Deborah Cameron Do you still feel that way now? Do you still use your imagination to create your world? Can you see yourself accomplishing new and exciting goals? You can, you know, for within you now is the same childlike spirit that believed in the impossible before-that same ability to imagine success for within you is the spirit of God. I was reminded of the confidence of that childlike spirit when my son was about five years old and he informed me that it was time to remove the training wheels from his bike. I wasn't sure that he was ready, but reluctantly I agreed, knowing that I would be there to help him if he had any trouble. Before I could get outside to lend my parental support and mechanical assistance, he handed me the training wheels and the screwdriver he'd used and said, "See ya, Mom." I managed to run out the door just in time to see him ride down the sidewalk as if he'd been doing it for years. I'm certain that my son imagined himself as a successful bike rider, and with that image held firmly in his mind, he was able to let go of any fear or hesitation and attempt this new experience with confidence. When you have a task before you, do you find it easy to touch that child like spirit within you and let go and trust God? Do you see yourself as you truly are, a child of God, filled with unlimited possibilities? A good way to do this is through faith and imagination. Your faith in God can help you feel confident that God is guiding you toward the successful completion of your goals, and your imagination can help you visualize it happening. Whenever you attempt something new, try picturing yourself as successful. Let your mind become clear and receptive. See your body relaxed and strong, your goals being met. Know that the same spirit of God that has always been with you since you were a child is within you now, guiding you on the path to greater success and fulfillment. As you embark upon this path, it may help you to remember these words, "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" (Heb. 11:1). Everyone hopes for success. And when that hope is united with faith in God and expressed through the power of imagination, the results are phenomenal. Perhaps now is the time for you to recapture the childlike spirit within you and rekindle your dreams. As you do. remember that there are no limit, to your imagination or to the power of God to help you fulfill your goals. With God's help, you can do or be anything. Imagine that! #450 |

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.
