S1 Ep:14 Unlocking Peace and Guidance with the Prayer of Faith

Crossing Bridges with Rae

Join me, Rae, on a journey as we explore the transformative power of prayer in my latest conversation on Crossing Bridges. This heartfelt session is dedicated to a prayer I cherish and learned at Hillside International Truth Center in Atlanta, Georgia—a prayer that dates back to the 1800s, created by Hannah More-Koas of the Unity Movement. As we walk through the words of the 'Prayer of Faith,' I share how it became more than a recitation, evolving into a source of peace, miracles, and a deepening relationship with God.

Listen in as I dissect the prayer, offering personal insights and experiences on how its repetition with emotion and belief has the power to manifest needs and desires. I'll guide you through how to use specific lines of prayer to overcome feelings of loss, weakness, or the need for harmony in your life. Whether you're seeking spiritual guidance or simply looking to enrich your daily practice, this episode serves as a testament to the strength found in faith and the spoken word.

TRANSCRIPT:

00:03 - Rachel "Rae" Mindy (Host)

Hello and greetings. Soul food family. Welcome to another episode of Crossing Bridges with Rae. I am your host, Rae, and today's episode is simply going to be a prayer that I learned at Hillside, at Hillside International Truth Center in Atlanta, Georgia. It is a prayer that I believe was created by Hannah Moore-Polas back in 1905 (it was the 1800s). And she was part of the Unity Movement.

00:45

The church that I belong to in Atlanta was a New Thought church, New Thought falls under Unity, and Miss Koas wrote a poem that eventually was used in the Unity Movement as a prayer, and this is a prayer that you know I used to just say in church because, you know, it's kind of something that we did every Sunday. So in the very beginning, it was just kind of like learning it, memorizing it, and then stating it every Sunday. But then as I started to go through different healing processes and then as I started to really, really get serious about building a relationship with God, but also finding peace in His words, or finding peace in words about Him, or finding peace in words that center around me and God, I really took these words to heart and really, really found a lot of peace, a lot of resolve in my daily life, a lot of miracles and things took place. I personally believe, because I believed in the words of this prayer, and so I want to read the prayer to you, but I'm going to give you some comments and things of that nature as we go along. So I'll read the whole entire prayer and then I will break down a couple of different parts so that you can kind of resonate with the meaning, or at least the meaning that it had for me.

02:44

So the prayer is called the prayer of faith, and here we go. God is my help in every need. God does not every hunger feed. God walks beside me and guides my way through every moment of the day. I now wise. I now am true, patient, kind, and loving too. All things I am can do and be, through Christ, the truth that is in me. God is my health. I can't be sick. God is my strength. I'm feeling quick. God is my all. I know no fear since God and love and truth are here. Okay, and so let me just give you an example of how I've used this prayer In times where I felt lost or maybe even weak, or was just trying to figure something out let's just say that or trying to make a decision, I would stop and say this part of the prayer God is my help in every need.

04:26

God does not every hunger feed. God walks beside me and guides my way through every moment of the day. Sometimes I will repeat it over and over, and, over and over again, and what would happen is the more that I repeated it, the more that I believed it, the more that I had feeling behind it, and the more whatever it is that I was going through, whatever it is that was bothering me or whatever it is that I was in need of, would appear. It might not have appeared immediately, it might not have appeared that day, but it did appear, not only just because I repeated it, but because I had feeling and emotion behind it and I believed it. And so I'm just giving you an example of how you can use this prayer because I personally believe that this prayer needs to be recited every single day and probably every single time you need it. Not just every day, because I can remember a time that I repeated this prayer on a regular basis throughout the day just to get me through.

05:38

Another example of using this prayer is like let's just say you know, you just want everything to be like harmonious, or you want things to go well, or you're putting your desires and your emotions out there. For what it is that you want in the future, I would use this portion of the prayer. I now am wise. I now am true, patient, kind, and loving too. All things I am can do and be through Christ, the truth that is in me, yeah, so you know, anytime that you need to feel better, the more that you repeat this portion of the prayer and just the prayer itself. But the more that you repeat this portion of the prayer, the more that you will believe in it, the more that you will believe in it.

06:43

And like anytime that I had, you know, headaches, stomach aches or just some unexplainable sickness or whatever the case may be, because you know when you're stressed, when you are depressed, when you, you know, are confused and when you just have, like all these thoughts and stuff going through you, you know stress brings on disease, stress brings on sickness. It is, is it a proven fact, and so a lot of times, especially once I had, you know, developed this unwavering faith in God, I literally would just say, to my pain or to my sickness, or to my headache or to my cough or my earache or, you know, whatever it is that I have. God is my health. I can't be sick. God is my strength. Unfailing, quick God is my all. I know no fear since God and love and truth are here. So this little prayer, I swear to you, will never fail you when you remember to not fail to use it daily. So I'm going to leave this here as another tool that you can use, and then also another prayer that you can use in your daily life or just to help you through whatever it is that you might be going through, good or bad.
