Answering Your Questions

On August 15th I invited the congregation to submit questions to me. During the service that day I was only able to address a few of the questions that were submitted. Later as I reviewed the questions, I was deeply impacted by the needs that the questions expressed.
They were not about the nature of God, the meanings of biblical passages or the teachings of different religions. Over 90% of the questions were about how to handle the stress of daily life. My heart went out to people as they asked how to deal with:

• being overwhelmed
• worrying about a loved one
• healing challenges
• addictions 
• finding serenity
• financial challenges
• depression
• family conflicts
• responding to our world of war and terrorism

The resolution of these issues in people’s lives has been the focus of Unity and of my ministry in Walnut Creek. I know these issues will resolve as people utilize the great spiritual practices that enhance our relationship with God. God is the answer to all of our needs. It’s not the study of God or even the worship of God that provides the solution. Rather we find that these situations resolve as we experience and learn to utilize the Divine creative power present in all of our lives. The Divine Presence transforms our limiting patterns into the wholeness that God desires to express through us. Our conscious connection with this Divine transforming power develops as we utilize the great spiritual practices.
I have personally made the commitment to enhance our awareness of the great spiritual practices over the coming months. We have already focused on utilizing the spiritual power found in meditation and prayer, living from balance and empowering beliefs. This month we will focus on practicing the presence of God, positive thought, affirmations and denials. We will return again and again to prayer and love, the greatest instruments of transformation in our world today. As we put these practices to work, Divine Wisdom guides us into the release of all that limits our lives and lifts us into the creative, harmonizing power of Divine Love. That is God’s desire for each of us and through these great spiritual practices, we make that desire the reality of our lives.
