The Prayer of Faith

by Hannah More Kohaus

God is my help in every need;
God does my every hunger feed;
God walks beside me, guides my way
Through every moment of this day.

I now am wise, I now am true,
Patient and 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, unfailing, quick;
God is my all, I know no fear,
Since God and Love and Truth are here.

 The Universal Foundation for Better Living (U.F.B.L.)
is an international association of Bible-based New Thought Christian churches, centers, and study groups dedicated to spreading the abundant life teachings of Jesus the Christ.

The Reverend Dr.
Johnnie M. Colemon

The UFBL was founded on the principles of healing by the Reverend Dr. Johnnie Colemon who in 1952 was diagnosed with a terminal disease and given only six months to live. The words, “God is my health, I can’t be sick,” from a poem by Hannah More Kohaus, sent shockwaves through her mental/emotional system and led her to Unity School of Practical Christianity where she began studying universal spiritual principles and laws, the application of which, ultimately led to her healing.
Dr. Colemon was ordained as a Unity Minister in 1956 and set up her first ministry, Christ Unity Temple in Chicago Illinois. She later withdrew from the Association of Unity Churches to become an independent church. Dr. Colemon renamed her church Christ Universal Temple and also founded the UFBL in 1974.
The aim of this dynamic not-for-profit Foundation is to make the empowering principles of practical Christianity accessible to all people. The UFBL therefore envisions itself as an empowering agent that prepares and supports leaders and their congregations to do ministry effectively in the world. As an empowering agent, its three-fold mission is to: Organize, Coordinate and Encourage the establishment growth and development of its member foundations, centers and study groups.

Alexander Everett
(1921–2005)

Alexander Everett (1921–2005) was a British self-improvement and personal development consultant. He was the founder of the company Mind Dynamics, and author of the motivational books The Genius Within You and Inward Bound. Everett's coursework and teachings had an influence on the human potential movement.
Though Mind Dynamics only existed for a few years, it greatly influenced many other forms of companies and self-improvement groups known as Large Group Awareness Training. After Mind Dynamics folded due to the death of its co-owner, William Penn Patrick, and due to investigations on its parent company, Holiday Magic, by the United States government on allegations of pyramid schemes, Everett formed another course called Inward Bound, which he taught in the United States, Europe and Asia.
While teaching at a preparatory school in 1850 (Pendragon School at Bexhill-on-Sea in Sussex, England), Everett contracted polio, and was told by his physicians that he would never walk again. Everett believed that he healed himself using the Unity School of Christianity's "Prayer of Faith", by Hannah More Kohaus.
