Affirmative prayer
Prayer changes everything, because it changes us.
Our prayer chaplains are here every Sunday and by request all week, to pray with you, not for you.
Not a plea. A power shift.
Affirmative prayer isn’t about asking God. It’s about changing your own awareness. Change your mind and you change your life.
Most people grow up thinking prayer means asking a distant God for favors. We do it differently: no begging, no bargaining, just a shift from the noise of the world to the peace of the Divine within.
The prayer process
01
Open
Breathe deeply and relax, turning inward to make room for a new understanding.
02
Recognize
Acknowledge one Presence and one Power, all-pervading: Life, Love, Wisdom.
03
Integrate
Align with that Power, knowing the Divine is present within you.
04
Realize
From that connection, claim your good: wholeness, abundance, and peace.
05
Appreciate
Release the prayer with gratitude. And so it is.
