How to Pray with Others
Whether you pray with others in an official capacity on your church prayer team, or with a prayer partner, your prayer work deepens as you deepen. Give yourself the gift of diving deeper into Unity’s approach to affirmative prayer with others.
Training with Rev. Linda, you can expect to:
-
- Reimagine the method and flow of prayer taught by the Fillmores.
- Identify spiritual issues at the heart of prayer requests, the remedy for which can be claimed as spiritual capacities.
- Broaden your definition of GOD to include powers/principles that can be claimed and embodied.
- Practice speaking from spiritual authority, reminding others of their divine identity that can be realized and expressed.
Training is based upon the book: Discover Your Divinity: a Modern Guide to Affirmative Prayer which attendees are encouraged to read.
Cost: $45 which includes lunch and a Healing Singing Bowl Closing Meditation with Rebecca Abraxas

(based on Mastermind Prayer Process)
Thanks to Columbine Prayer Chaplains for the model. Use for all churches or modify for your own.
I Release
I release myself to Spirit because I am strong when I have others to help me.
I Believe
I believe the intelligence of Co-Creative Spirit creates a wisdom far beyond my own.
I Understand
I understand that I will more easily create positive results in my life when I realize I am spirit and that it is my state of being.
I Decide
I decide to release my desire totally in trust to Spirit and I am open to accepting new possibilities.
I Forgive
I forgive as I recognize the illusion about what happened was just a story and I surrender to the perfection (divine order) of the situation.
I Intend
I am willing to be changed at depth.
I now believe that Spirit is smoothly manifesting all that is needed for the ongoing health and wellbeing of (Unity on the Avenue now and in the future)
