The Prayer of Faith by Hannah More Kohaus

God is my help in every need;
God does my every hunger feed;
God walks beside me, guides my way
Through every moment of the day.

I now am wise, I now am true,
Patient, kind, and loving, too;
All things I am, can do, and be,
Through Christ the Truth, that is in me.

God is my health, I can't be sick;
God is my strength, unfailing, quick;
God is my all, I know no fear,
Since God and Love and Truth are here.
Amen.

Matthew 6:25-34

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? 28 And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ 32 For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”

A recent message from Silent Unity to Unity of Bon Air:

Living in an awareness of God's presence within gives strength at all times. As you pray for the people you care about, see each person peacefully centered in God's loving presence moment by moment. We are praying with you for all who have requested prayer and affirming health, prosperity, freedom, peace, and abundant good. In our vigil of prayer, we affirm these words and we invite you to join us:

"You are centered in the presence of God within. New doors are now open to wonderful blessings of life, light, love and peace."

A prayer from Unity of Bon Air Prayer Chaplain, Dottie Klammer:

Divine Essence, Thank you for my free will. My desire in using it is to stay in-sink with my Oneness. When I do, I know what choice to make and am steadfast in using my power for good. I walk away from being wishy-washy and stay strong. I walk away from being pig headed and stubborn, and bend. In the end, I walk the walk of my heart. When I do, wisdom guides my choices and decisions. Thank you God for my power of Will and for traveling with me on this journey.

Prayer of Wisdom and Understanding by Rev. Jeanmarie Eck

As I wrestle with doubts concerning the issues I face today, I recall my divine abilities of wisdom and understanding that always reside within me.

I honor my heart’s desire to know the Truth, just as the apostle Thomas doubted because he yearned for greater understanding, for the knowing that arises from beyond the material.

I trust in the spiritual guidance I receive in prayer, which reveals greater insight and a higher vantage point from which to perceive my current circumstances. The scope of my vision has expanded, and I use wisdom to evaluate my options so I can proceed with decisive action that serves the highest good of all involved.

I am wise and judge rightly with an intuitive knowing of the potential for good in all experiences. I see the world from an enlightened perspective, and I am at peace.

Prayer of Gratitude by Rev. Elizabeth Mora

Let me take a moment to bring appreciation to the forefront of my day. Whatever I plan to accomplish, I let gratitude go before me. I put my day into divine order when I come from this place.

I now enter into a state of “grati-vanc-itude.” That is, I am grateful in advance. There is no need to wait for anything to happen externally. This moment of prayer shifts my awareness so I can see, hear, feel, and know the overflowing abundance that is everywhere right now. A smile easily comes to my face as I experience this gift.

I see the world differently when I am grateful. I let this divine perspective guide me today in noticing the beauty of God everywhere.

Prayer of Strength by Rev. Evin Wilkins

Today we take a moment to pause, a moment to sit, and a moment to bask in gratitude for our inner power of strength. That strength connects us to God within. That strength sustains us and provides the gentle nudge that says, “Yes, you can.”

We move more deeply into this moment of prayer as we affirm our strength radiating out to all other beings, calling forth the divine strength in them too.

We breathe in this moment of oneness with God within, this wonderful, beautiful essence of God that we are.

Today, I affirm that I AM strength.

Prayer for Others, by Rev. Linda Martella-Whitsett

Whenever I feel concern about your well-being, I turn within to pray.

My thoughts are prayers; therefore, I elevate my thoughts to the God standard. My mind is one with divine mind, knowing my divine identity and yours.

All the strength, vitality, and wisdom that I am is also the truth about you. I summon these divine qualities so that I stand steady in my thoughts about you, transforming my concerns into trust, fear into faith.

I envision you spiritually strong, whole, wise, and well. I breathe with you the knowledge that your challenge resolves, your heart heals, your health revives, and your peace of mind returns as you claim your divine identity.

My concerns evaporate as I bless you and behold your oneness with God.
