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.

December Prayer Service

God's Will for you in Health
By Elizabeth Sand Turner

Illness causes more unhappiness than any other challenge, and people seek here, there, and everywhere for a remedy to alleviate their suffering and restore them to health.
 
Unity believes that wholeness of body is God’s will for everyone and that sickness is the result of a lack of understanding and the inability to harmonise in thought, word, and deed with the divine plan.
 
Throughout the Bible, there are promises of health, prosperity, peace and joy, but sometimes we may wonder if they apply to us. We are all in need of healing in some area of our lives – mind, body, or affairs – and we long for the assurance that we can be healed. We long for the fulfilment of God’s promises in our own lives.
 
If God’s will is health, why do we not have it? The answer lies in the fact that we have not been unified with God, but rather our attunement has been to limitation of all kinds.
 
Many people believe that sickness is natural, and it is, if by “natural” we mean the common experience. At one time or another, all of us have undergone an illness of some sort. Not knowing from where it came or realising that we had anything to do with it, we have believed it to be an inevitable part of our lot on earth and must, therefore, be God’s will. But Jesus’ words and works dispel such a belief. His healings are proof that God’s will for everyone is health and well-being.
 
One of Jesus’ first healings establishes this fact. As He was passing through a small town in Galilee on His way to Capernaum, He met a man with leprosy. “When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and besought him, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” And he stretched out his hand and he touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him.” (Lk. 5:12-13)
 
Surely Jesus’ words were not intended for one alone but for everyone in need of healing. We can contact today the Christ power by means of which Jesus healed. The Christ power is within us, ready to say, “I will; be clean.”
 
When our minds are filled with negative thoughts and our hearts with violent emotions, we restrict the flow of divine energy and power within. Our part in healing is to open ourselves to the Christ, to have faith in the Christ power within us to restore us to health, to say to the Lord of our being, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.”
 
Whenever we pray for healing, the idea of God’s power should be uppermost in our minds. Our attention must be diverted from disease and centred upon the one Presence and one Power. We do not become well by thinking of sickness; we need to bring our thoughts back again and again to the willingness and ability of the Christ within to heal and to restore us to wholeness.
 
For centuries leprosy was thought of as an incurable disease and anyone afflicted with it was doomed to spend life apart from others, burdened with the appellation, “unclean.” Jesus proved for all time to come that there was no such thing as an incurable disease. We may not have found the remedy for certain physical ailments, but God who created us can heal us of any disease.
 
We cannot force a healing, but we can let it come about in us. “I will not leave you desolate; I will come to you,” said Jesus (Jn. 14:18). If you need healing, turn to the Christ within your being in faith, believing. Know with all your heart and mind that God’s will for you is health. You will feel divine love being poured out upon you; you will rejoice in the age-old, ever-new assurance that you can take these words as your very own, “I will; be clean.”

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.
