Summary up to 500 words

In 'Teach Us to Pray,' Charles Fillmore, drawing from the Unity tradition, fundamentally redefines prayer. He argues that prayer is not merely a ritual of asking for favors or a display of piety, but rather the soul's sincere desire, whether uttered or unexpressed. It represents the conscious expression of the soul's upward trend toward God. Fillmore teaches that God is omnipresent Spirit, and individuals can access infinite capacity for life, love, and light by aligning their consciousness with this divine Mind. The text guides readers to enter an 'inner chamber' of the soul to still the mind and hear the 'still small voice' of the Spirit. In this state of silence, the individual ceases to be a 'praying beggar' and instead realizes their sonship with the Father. Fillmore emphasizes that thoughts are creative forces; by affirming spiritual truths and denying inherited limitations, readers can transmute natural impulses into spiritual realizations. The book presents a structured approach to prayer, including daily denials of ancestral errors and affirmations of divine attributes like wisdom, health, and peace. Fillmore illustrates how faith, cheerfulness, and the spoken word act as catalysts for healing and prosperity. He asserts that the body can be charged with spiritual life to overcome death, a promise he claims Jesus demonstrated. The work posits that the 'ether' of science corresponds to the 'kingdom of the heavens,' suggesting that modern discoveries confirm the metaphysical reality of an omnipresent spiritual substance. By using intelligently the supreme law of God, individuals can bring into manifestation the potentialities implanted within them. Ultimately, the book is an exposition of the law of soul urge, encouraging readers to practice the presence of God, thereby manifesting the kingdom of God within themselves and achieving a state of at-one-ment with the divine.
