A Word From Your Prayer Chaplains

Shared each month by our Prayer Chaplains to uplift, encourage, and guide your spiritual journey

Embracing The Power of Prayer

A year ago, when I began this new journey as a Prayer Chaplain, I had questions: How do I fit this role? Why me? Do I have a special gift for praying with others? Can I do this?

It hasn’t been difficult because anyone—simply by having a spirit—is a vibrational energy source. We can focus on sharing that energy with others. In New Thought, we don’t understand God as separate from us, and we don’t view prayer as a request or supplication to something “out there” controlling our lives. Instead, we recognize and embrace the Divine consciousness within us. Rev. Nina and other speakers help us understand this so beautifully.

We also know that a Divine consciousness in physical form—namely Jesus, or more accurately Yeshua—said, “Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” My role as a Prayer Chaplain is to add my mind and heart energy to yours, combining it with the Divine energy in each of us so that together, we hold your prayer in mind.

In addition to writing your request on a prayer card, Prayer Chaplains invite you to pray with us after the service—whether it’s for an urgent matter or simply to express gratitude for the blessings in your life.
