I pause. I breathe. I turn inward to the quiet space where Truth resides.
To be still is not to do nothing—it is to release the need to struggle,
to let go of the noise that clouds my mind,
and to settle into the deep presence of God within me.
To be still is to listen, to trust, to rest in the knowing
that I am already held, already guided, already whole.
In this sacred stillness, I remember that I am not alone.
God is here—not as a distant presence,
but as the very life within me.
God is the love that heals, the wisdom that clarifies,
the substance that sustains.
I surrender my thoughts of lack and the weight of uncertainty.
I open my heart to the quiet assurance that all I need is here.
The answers unfold in divine timing.
The path reveals itself in perfect order.
There is no rush, only trust.

In keeping with this year’s theme, Be Still and Know, our Unity Prayer Chaplains offer a day of Contemplation and Prayer.
Attendees will be given long ribbons upon which to write prayers which will be attached to a large prayer "tree". Meditation will be available in the Garden Chapel and in Unity Hall in small groups or individually.
Private prayer with a chaplain will be available the entire time. Prayer chaplains will also be continuously praying over the special World Day of Prayer prayer requests received.
In past years, we have had a variety of activities which were somewhat like arts and crafts. This year our intention is to set up an atmosphere of pure calm and profound quiet so that people can simply stop by for silent meditation and prayer. We feel that in such tumultuous times, the more we can help people become peaceful, the better all will be.
