FOX VALLEY UNITY: Monthly Meditation
Moments with God
We settle into this very precious time. As our Daily Word said today: The Moment with God. We take this quiet moment and pull our attention away from the outer and bring it to that heart space where God dwells in each of us. How precious are these moments, whether they are a few seconds or for an extended period of time to be one with all the power in the universe, to be one with all the wisdom of the universe, to be one with all the love and joy and peace in the universe.
We use our breath to bring our attention to that breath, that breath that breaths us, that God that breathes us, that beats our hearts with out us ever thinking about it, that power and presence that is also thatgentle Presence within.
As the Gospel of John says, I will not leave you comfortless, no matter what's going on in our lives, no matter what the challenges; all we need to do is remember that God is here. God is with us through all the trials and fears, through any anxiety or grief, and also the through joy and celebration, the wonder and the awe. God is here.
All we need do is move our attention to that heart space, to that living, breathing
Presence in us. As we said earlier, the greatest thing in all the world is knowing,
loving, serving, you dear God.
So we move into a period of silence where we are totally one with that Presence, knowing and assured that God is always there...
And so for that vibrant life that flows through us and that beating of our hearts and this beautiful day we we say: Thank you God.
And so it is.
Amen.

APRIL MEDITATION
This meditation is the monthly Silent Unity prayer service that is read aloud in our chapel. We invite you to join us in this prayer time by reading the following mediation aloud or silently to yourself.
In this time of prayer, let us affirm our oneness with God and with one another as together we pray.
We are one with God and blessed with perfect peace.
Let us quiet our thoughts, still our minds, and allow ourselves to become fully present in this moment. Right now there are no external cir-cumstances that can disturb the peace of our souls, for the presence of God is in this place—above, below, around, and within. We are one with God.
Knowing that God is everywhere present, we sink deeper into this moment to experience a greater sense of peace. Entering into the si-lence, we silently affirm: Peace, be still, and know …
Attuned to Spirit, we act with wisdom and grace.
With our attention on God, we release any limiting thought. One with Spirit, we recognize the infinite possibilities that are ours. As we open our hearts and minds to inspiration and guidance, we discover new ideas that help us experience our good in different and satisfying ways.
These ideas come from our source—Spirit—and as we listen, we are guided to spiritual fulfillment. Wisdom and grace continue to fill our awareness as we return to the silence …
