Prayer is communion with God. As we pray, we connect with God within our very own being. God is both in us and around us – both immanent (indwelling) and transcendent. As we pray, we connect with God, consciously. In essence, we are always connected to God, but prayer makes this connection conscious. As we connect consciously, we are bringing our mind into alignment with God. When we begin to practice prayer daily, our lives begin to take on these attributes of God. We will see through our own experience that we have more peace, joy, love and absolute health than ever before.
Begin to practice daily, this alignment and believe that all the good God has for you is already present in your life! Pray believing that God’s will for you is good. Prayer will bring all the good that God is, from the invisible to the visible.
Scripture tells us, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1, KJV). Pray believing, and it will be done unto you.

Prayer and Meditation
Prayer and meditation are key spiritual practices in Unity. Simply put, prayer is talking with God, while meditation is listening. When we pray, we align our words with Truth. When we meditate, we get quiet and listen to Spirit’s wisdom and peace found deep within us. Prayer does not change God; it changes us by raising our consciousness.
Affirmative Prayer is based on faith, uplifted consciousness and gratitude. We affirm, in the present tense, the Absolute, Spiritual Truth. If you request prayers for health, for example, we will behold and claim your wholeness right now. We will also give thanks in advance, as Jesus taught, for what is already done in Spirit.
Meditation is generally a practice of sitting still and turning our attention inward in the quiet presence of Spirit. Sitting in silence is simple and powerful. This practice fosters inner peace and allows us to gain insight and guidance through communion with Spirit.
