I breathe. I turn inward to the quiet space where Truth resides. \nTo be still is not do do nothing — it is to release the need to struggle; to let go of the noise that clouds my mind; and to settle into the deep presence of God within me. To be still is to listen; to trust; to rest in the knowing that I am already held\, already guided\, already whole. \nIn this sacred stillness\, I remember that I am not alone. God is here — not as a distant presence\, but as the very life within me. God is the love that heals\, the wisdom that clarifies\, the substance that sustains. I do not need to reach for what is already mine. I do not need to fear when divine truth is my foundation. \nSo\, I surrender my thoughts of lack and the weight of uncertainty. I open my heart to the quiet assurance that all I need is here. The answers unfold in divine timing. The path reveals itself in perfect order. There is no rush\, only trust. No force\, only faith. \nI rise from this moment not with the urgency of the world but with the peace of knowing. I move forward with confidence\, anchored in the stillness that speaks beyond words. I carry this presence with me into all that I do\, allowing it to shape my thoughts\, my words\, and my actions. \nI am still. And I know. \nAmen. \nQuestions for Reflection\n Use these questions and insights for personal reflection and to better connect with the divine and healing power you hold within. They are also wonderful concepts to explore in group prayer or discussion. \nHow can you commit to making stillness a daily practice\, even if it feels challenging at first?\nBe still. Be still. Be still. God in the midst of you is wosdom. Let not your thoughts be given to lack\, but let wisdom fill them with the substance and faith of god. \n—Myrtle Fillmore\, Myrtle Fillmore’s Healing Letters \nWhat messages of wisdom or guidance might be waiting for you in the stillness?\nWhen you are still and know that God is within\, you are then open to receive all that God has for you. \n—Charles Fillmore\, The Revealing word \nHow has time spent in stillness empowered you to move through life with greater clarity\, courage and purpose?\nWe go apart into the stillness of divine presence that we may come forth into the world of everyday life with inspiration and increased courage and power for activity and overcoming. \n—H. Emilie Cady\, Lessons in Truth \nWhat does it mean to you to “be still and know\,” and how might you allow the Infinite to reveal deeper truths in your life?\n“Be still and know” is a clear command to let the mind rest from its own activities and record knowledge that the Infinite waits to reveal. \n—E.V.

To help facilitate this event\, Unity of Phoenix is directing a portion of its monthly tithe ($2\,000) to cover 40 volunteer spots. \nBecause we have only 40 spots available\, you MUST RSVP to hold a spot. \nWe’ll be hand-packing rice\, soy\, dried vegetables and a nutritionally complete blend of vitamins and minerals into bags which are then sealed\, boxed\, placed on pallets and shipped to incredible partners who distribute the food to children who need it around the world. \nThrough volunteering at FMSC\, you’ll get the chance to impact hundreds of kids in just two hours\, and experience what it’s like to make a tangible difference in the world. And you’ll have the chance to celebrate Rev. Amanda Sue in an extraordinary way.
