Prayer Is Still the Answer

September 6th | 2026

When something frightening, uncertain, or unexpected happens, many of us instinctively pray: “God, please fix this.”

But what if prayer is asking something different of us?

In this Sunday for the Soul, Rev. Cynthia Alice Anderson explores how our understanding of prayer has changed over thousands of years—and the perspective that sits at the heart of Unity prayer.

As C.S. Lewis observed, “Prayer does not change God. Prayer changes us.”

Cynthia Alice explores what that change can look like through five simple steps of prayer: relaxing, concentrating, meditation, realization, and gratitude.

She also shares the remarkable story of two young girls who found themselves stranded far from home and chose to pray—and then wait with complete faith that help was already on the way.

What might change in our own lives when prayer moves from “Please fix this” to “I am here, I surrender, and I trust”?
