Whenever you are drawn to the mysteries of life, do use spiritual practice, (meditation, prayer ) to nurture your spirituality.
"Beloved, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours." (Mark 11:24)
Prayer and meditation are key spiritual practices in Unity. Simply put, prayer is talking to 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.
“There is an intimate connecting spirit that logically unites man and his source.”
prayer is “communion with God. … This communion is an attitude of mind and heart. It lifts the individual into a wonderful sense of oneness with God, who is Spirit, the source of every good and perfect thing, and the substance that supplies all the child's needs—whether they are spiritual, social, mental, physical, or financial.”
Prayers are not “sent” anywhere, she said. “Prayer is an exercise to change our thought habits and our living habits, that we may set up a new and better activity, in accord with the divine law rather than with the suggestions we have received from various sources.”

Prayer accomplishes many things. It develops our character to its highest state. It builds a mind that is always open to Spirit. Through prayer, we attain an interpenetrating consciousness with God's perfect life and love and power. We attain a oneness with God, thus achieving the example set by Jesus when he proclaimed, “I and the Father are one.”
Prayer and the meditation also enables us to become infused with divinely inspired ideas, which exalt our minds and our entire beings. “Every divine idea you meditate upon and incorporate into your consciousness does a mighty regenerating, transforming, spiritualizing work in your mind, soul, body and even in your outer world of affairs,” Myrtle said.
“Each time you grasp an idea of Truth, you lift your consciousness a little higher, and the work of transformation goes on ‘until Christ be formed in you.'
Powerful moments are experienced in a meditative state of prayer called “the silence.” When we sit in the silence, we become receptacles, or Holy Grails, to be filled with the Divine Mind.
