Prayer Ministry
“In true prayer we take with us words of Truth…an affirmation, and turn our attention within to the very center of our being… We affirm these words of Truth and meditate on them, then get very still and wait in the silence for God to make them real to us.” ~ Charles Fillmore Prayer is the heart of Unity, and is the foundation of the Unity movement. In the late 1880s, Unity’s co-founder Myrtle Fillmore’s life was transformed when she heard and believed the idea, “I am a child of God, and therefore I do not inherit sickness.” Speaking life-affirming words to her tuberculosis-ravaged body, she went on to live a life of health and wholeness. |
News of Myrtle's prayer experience spread, and people near and far began sending their prayer requests to her. In 1890 Myrtle and her husband Charles began a prayer ministry. Daily they held in mind and heart the prayer requests of everyone who contacted them. That was more than 120 years ago—the beginning of Silent Unity. In keeping with that powerful history and tradition, it is the intention of our prayer ministry to raise our vision to the awareness that we are all one with God and to lovingly hold all for whom we pray in that consciousness. It is our privilege to pray with and for you. |
