On Becoming a Prayer “Warrior”

Prayer is foundational to Unity and many religious and spiritual foundations, and it is likely the most interspiritual practice shared across many divides. To become a prayer "warrior" takes time, dedication, and humility, while it is one of the most meaningful services one can offer to others and the world.

This Sunday, Rev. Jean-Marie will explore the meaning of prayer in Unity and other religions while recognizing the Divine Potential in all of us. Ultimately, prayer is about diving into our Divinity and allowing it to come forth for the sake and Goodness of all.

Metaphysical meanings

Revealing Word (Charles Fillmore)

prayer—Communion between God and man. This communion takes place in the innermost part of man's being. It is the only way to cleanse and perfect the consciousness and thus permanently heal the body.

Prayer is the most highly accelerated mind action known. It steps up mental action until man's consciousness synchronizes with the Christ Mind. It is the language of spirituality; when developed it makes man master in the realm of creative ideas.

Quotes

Meister Eckhart

“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is ‘thank you,’ it will be enough.”
