Affirmative Prayer and Meditation

In Unity, affirmative prayer and meditation are spiritual practices that align thought and awareness with divine truth and inner wisdom. Affirmative prayer does not ask or plead for change but consciously affirms spiritual realities—such as wholeness, peace, and guidance—allowing that truth to shape experience and consciousness.

Meditation complements this practice by quieting the mind and turning attention inward to cultivate awareness of the indwelling Divine through silence, breath, or gentle contemplation. Together, affirmative prayer and meditation are not about changing God, but about transforming consciousness. They are pathways to directly experience the presence of God.

Affirmative prayer is the same method of prayer Jesus taught when he said, “So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours” (Mark 11:24).
