“Teach us to Pray!” cried out the disciples to Jesus.

The prayer we will look at in Part 2, as we move into what Charles Fillmore, co-founder of the Unity movement, called “the Silence,” is one where we don’t use quite so many words as we might use in positive affirmations or active prayer.

An active prayer consists of between five and nine words.

The prayer that takes us deep into the Silence and brings us into the center is usually only one word, one word of either one or two syllables.

“Teach us to pray!” the disciples cried out Jesus.

In our modern day and times we still have that same request on our hearts and minds. We look to God, we look to teachers, we look to the presence of the living Christ within, to teach us to pray. We want to know the way to pray.

We all have different forms of prayer and different purposes of prayer. Today I’m inviting you to look a a specific purpose of prayer; this purpose is to draw us into the experiencing of God’s very presence in our lives.

It has been said that God is a sphere whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.

Since we are made in the image and likeness of God, so of our own selves, too, it can be said that our center is everywhere and our circumference is nowhere.

When we begin to relate to, turn to, focus upon, and establish ourselves in that center of our own being, we find that we are in the divine center of God’s presence.

So the prayer that I invite you to work with and focus upon today is the journey to the divine center of our being, where we are at one with God.
