Yesterday I continued to work on Unity's Prayer Chaplain Program. This weekend I take the chaplains away for their weekend training. It is a time when they are immersed in learning how to pray with others. They learn how to pray affirmatively....helping the person they are praying with to remember their divine identity. Chaplains are required to see the wholeness of each person they pray with. They look past any appearance of human flaws to the divine Christ within.It is a holy work. And part of my responsibility is to remind them they can do it. Very few people learn to pray aloud with another person. That takes courage and confidence. Chaplains let go of any old prayer method that calls for God to help us, save us, change the situation or others. Unity prayer calls forth the God capacities within us to move us through whatever is showing up.By the time our chaplains are ready to be "inducted" they will be ready to pray the Unity way.
My prayer for you today..... Standing as the presence and power of God, right where you are, may you go forth into your day expressing this divine power with ease and grace for the highest good of all.
