The benefits of unselfed prayer

September 2, 2026 | 16 comments

Would you like to see more healing results from your prayers? 

One way to feel more of God’s healing power at work within is to be sure that your prayers are unselfish.  God loves to answer unselfish prayers. 

I talk about the benefits of prayer that is unselfed in this vlog that was filmed near Cottonwood, AZ, in May 2026.

  1. Thank you for this message. The unselfish list you describe is actually worth pursuing to begin with. Wisdom, intelligence, humility, etc. are powerful qualities to have available. To seek these seems doable with prayer and striving to feel God’s presence.Reflection is a wonderful blessung.R

  2. Sooo true Evan…I love this and what a lovely place you are visiting here.
    This verse came to mind from Matthew.
    But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
    We really do have to become conscious of our true self, just as God sees us and seek His guidance in all things first.❣️
    Love to all

  3. Thank you for this gentle reminder, Evan. We often find ourselves caught up in material thinking without being aware. How important it is to stand porter!

  4. Wouldn’t our true prayer be to reflect more Life, Truth and Love from Divine Mind’s perspective? In this way our supply would be met.

  5. So True, of what you inspire us with today, Evan! Thank You! It
    seems when things are going the way we want, we sometimes
    feel, as humans, that we don’t need to pray. It is the times when
    we do seem to Need something, that we turn to God. I had to
    chuckle when you said about our trying to talk God into giving us
    what we Think we need. How often do we only turn to Him when
    we Think we need material needs or pleasures, as you had mentioned,
    and beyond. Qualities that we “need” are always spiritual and those
    we have already in abundance. Mortal things, although sometimes
    seeming to be needed and easier With, do not truly satisfy. Our divine
    LOVE which is always with us is a constant prayer to realize it’s presence
    in our lives. I have sometimes throughout my life – thought … this would
    be nice to have … or that would be nice to have and only upon receiving
    it, was not truly satisfied and would move on to the next “thing” that I
    Thought might make me happy, but material things are never really satisfying.
    Like how many times do we hear of a child wanting a particular toy and
    after getting it, prefers to play with the box it came in.
    So helpful to hear the Truth of God’s and our Being in Spiritual ways.

    1. Hi David. I don’t think it’s selfish to pray for the understanding to see the truth about a physical problem.

      1. That is a really loving response, Linda.UK. By understanding the
        True being of who we really are – we don’t Need to feel it is
        selfish, because in Reality, we already Have all the health we
        think we need. God only knows our perfection – not a physical
        problem or healing, so to see ourself in that light – would not
        be selfish. (The way I understand it, anyway).

    2. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be free of physical suffering.

      However, in Christian Science, it helps to understand that spiritual healing is what leads to physical healing. The unselfed prayer of “What spiritual lessons do I need to learn?” often speed up healing.

  6. Dear God,

    Thank You for this SpiritView website, the result of Evan’s close listening to Your idea to maintain
    it for us! A great example of what true listening can do. I am finally beginning to start to “ask aright,” and it feels must more logical. I am more often asking for “childlike trust, joyful adoption of good,” more humility and love and forgiveness and patience….OH! That’s Right! He’s already GIVEN all these to me/us!! Now to REMEMBER this when challenged!! Oh, I HAVE a good memory!
    Thanks, God! You are such an Affectionate Intelligence!! (A.I.!)

  7. This reminds me of The Message’s paraphrase of the first Beatitude:
    “You are blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there’s more of God’s rule.”
    Less of me, more of God; none of me, all of God.

  8. Thank you very much dear Evan for these wonderful spiritual advices! I’m very happy and thankful I already learned in Sundayschool rhat the real riches are the countless qualities God is giving us steadily and abundantly. So much Love that God gave us His blessed son , Christ Jesus and beloved daughter. MBEddy, who both are still teaching us to know that our real and only riches are in our Father-Mother God to joyously and gratefully express tonGod’s Glory!

    Enjoying the holiday scenery behind Evan is so refreshing and lets me feel refreshed from the wind which might come over to us from the Lake. Mrs. Eddy tells us in SH that the indians called such a shining sea “the Smile of the great Spirit” (God).

    Thank you, Evan for your so healing and blessing Spiritual Views for us all !! ❤️
