Prayer Chaplain Corner
Greetings from your Prayer Chaplain Team
My friend and Emeritus Prayer Chaplain, Mark Laverents, loves to surf the web for inspiring musical performances. He knows I love music too, so he texts me links to share the “good stuff” he finds. Recently, Mark forwarded a reel of Brandi Carlile joining Dave Matthews to sing and debut his new song, “Paper Town”. As I listened, one of the lyrics captured my attention: “I don’t know where I’m going, but that don’t mean I’ve lost my way.” What an inspirational message that very much aligns with Unity principles! It also tugged at my Prayer Chaplain feelers. This was a message that Mark needed to hear regarding his cancer journey. Mark took the message to heart and he said he was going to use the lyric to remind himself daily what his potential is. By the way, he also granted me permission to share this story with you.
“I don’t know where I’m going, but that don’t mean I’ve lost my way” can be converted to a simple affirmation that is true for all of us: “I AM Divinely guided.” When we face a challenge, be it physical, mental, or spiritual, we have been given the perfect tool to keep us traveling in the right direction—PRAYER! Prayer activates our internal compass. In this inner room we can align ourselves with divine wisdom and navigate any terrain with absolute confidence. Though the path we’re following may twist and turn unexpectedly, our inner orientation remains perfectly steady. Prayer as a compass doesn't just keep us from getting lost—it transforms the entire journey, turning unexpected detours into sacred opportunities for spiritual wisdom and deeper self-discovery.
It has been said that it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey. What a blessing it is to realize that throughout this lifelong journey we will always be guided exactly where we need to be. I AM Divinely guided.
Namasté,
Rene Holubec

Myrtle the Mystic and Her Understand of Prayer
Myrtle Fillmore, co-founder of the Unity movement was a mystic, someone who had an intimate experience of God, and was empowered to heal her body of tuberculosis when there was no cure. After wards she maintained a powerful practice of prayer, which helped millions of people heal their bodies as well. Myrtle had a sense of humbleness and sensitivity to the Divine Energy of Life working through her and throughout the universe.

You Know This - Words of a Skylark
Apples come from apple trees. Roses grow on roses bushes. If a gardener wants carrots, he plants carrots seeds and not radishes or onions. All through life it has been proven that there is a spiritual and a natural law of life that causes all things to produce after their kind. Although Jesus Christ taught it a couple of thousands years ago, man is only now, at first regretfully and then joyfully, discovering this Truth. He discovers that each thought he holds, and each word he speaks, is governed by this very same law. Words of love and kindness never produce hate and inconsideration. You are the boss of your life, if you really want to be.
