Prayer Chaplain Corner 
Greetings from your Prayer Chaplain Team
Greetings and Namaste my spiritual path companions! I continue to be blessed by serving on your Prayer Chaplain team at Unity OKC, and am always holding each of you in the blessed light of love, joy, wellness and prosperity. Last month, RevDoc Patrick talked about using affirmative prayer, so I wanted to use this space this month to outline the steps again. All prayer works, but this prayer format contains the elements Jesus used when praying to the I AM.
Affirmative prayer is modeled after the Lord's Prayer, which was offered by Jesus following a request from his followers. The request was that he teach them to pray. Jesus coached them that they must always first ensure that their mind was aligned with the mind of God. In these modern times, we have often heard that a problem cannot be solved with the same mind that created that problem. Aligning our mind with Universal Mind clears our thoughts of negativity, worry, anxiety, anger and fear. We all know the mind of God is one of never ending good, peace, wellness and abundance. Just thinking that thought makes us feel better!
Once we have aligned our mind with the mind of Spirit, we can then move positive energy to our heart. We don't move anxious, fearful, angry energy into the heart space. So we continue to align with the mind of God until we feel the love, the freedom, the peace. We don't move from this step of the prayer until we are in the right frame of mind. Having moved loving energy into our heart space, we can make our needs known from a place of calm assertion, claiming our oneness with Spirit and our alliance with our own wellbeing. We claim our good with enthusiasm and positivity.
Having done all of that, our prayer is almost complete. We must next give thanks for our good, which is already on its way to us. Gratitude and thanksgiving is more than just a warm emotion, it is a causative force for good which propels our good forward to us, and in it's wake is space for more and more good.
After giving thanks, we seal the prayer. We offer Amen, And So It Is, or even Abracadabra (look that up if you like). We then release the prayer, promising ourselves we will not return to the destructive thoughts and feelings we had before the prayer. Leave the rest up to Universal Spirit!!
Enjoy your prayer work, and let me know how it goes.
Namaste! Dana Martin

A Prayer for Centering
I am the Place God Shines through
For God and I are one not Two
I need not Fret, Nor Plan
For God Needs me right where I am
And If I am Relaxed and Free
God Will do a mighty work through me!
Will You join Us In A Time of Prayer? Visioning A World Filled with Peace and Love and Goodness!

A Poem by Schuyler Cronley
Christ of Galilee
In the ever-radiating Presence of a power I cannot see;
I can feel the Christly essence of the man of Galilee.
His cloak is ‘round about me, his words clearly in my ears;
No longer do I fear the tempest, nor the passing of the years.
The loving truth he taught me will forever be my guide;
I shall no longer stumble upon the path at eventide.
For the ever-radiating presence of this power I cannot see;
Holds me safely and securely, O blessed Christ of Galilee.

Notes From a Skylark, By Schuyler Cronley
Who Do You Think You Are?
Many people have asked this question of one another a great many times and received many varied answers. If you want a real “Stumper” answer to this question the next time someone asks it of you, you could say, “I am a son of God” – Of course, there is only one catch to that, and that is that you have to live and act like one to prove it.
What Do You Have To Lose?
A short time ago in our newspapers, there was the story of a young woman who was told that, if after being hypnotized, she could arise from her chair and walk over to a small table and pick up a large sum of money lying there, she could have the money for her own. She was not able to do this, and of course she did not receive the money. Someone asked her how it felt to lose such a large sum of money, to which she replied, “It was not mine to lose!”
This is an old principle of Truth, but it bears much repetition and re-emphasis in our daily living. Nothing is really man’s in this world to lose, but he has everything to gain, provided he seeks such things for the purpose of using them with the knowledge that they are not his to lose and that his acquirement of them is not his gain, but God’s, who gave them. Even man’s life is not his to lose – that’s the reason Jesus Christ tried so hard to get man to do the things with his life and his body that would honor God and preserve life.

Ever Thought about Being the Way of Love,
By becoming a Prayer Chaplain and opening your heart to allow the voice of the Divine to flow through you out to others. Have you ever thought about being a conduit of the Healing Force of the universe allowing the Living Waters to wash over your being and flow out to others? To learn more about being a Prayer Chaplain and allowing the healing Presence to flow through you and out to others, speak to Rene Holubec or RevDoc Patrick about what you might need to do and when the next training will be.
