The Power of Prayer
Why do we pray? Do we pray for ourselves, or for another? Do we pray to connect with God? To find inner peace? Do we seek healing or relief from suffering?
What is prayer? According to research, the focused energy of prayer can have very powerful effects. But the attitude with which you pray matters much more than how you pray and what form it takes. When we pray for a particular outcome or affect, prayer is largely ineffective. But when, from a place of clarity and love, we set our intention for the acceptance of what is best for ourselves, for another, or for a situation, miracles happen!
The power of prayer teaches us that when we put ourselves into the flow of consciousness with intention and faith, we co-create the universe. But we do not do this by changing reality. Rather, with the power of prayer, we focus the energy of our own consciousness by aligning it with universal consciousness, and from that place anything is possible!
As focused consciousness, every thought, word and action in your life becomes prayer. As you set your intention, so it is. That is why Unity practices affirmative prayer. We affirm the power of prayer and the reality of our co-creation of what we seek in this moment. It is already delivered! It has already happened! Unity sees the Truth of our shared divinity and the power we all have to manifest that Truth NOW!
