Beauty - Friday, June 14, 2013 | Daily Word

Beauty

I AM ONE WITH THE BEAUTY OF THE UNIVERSE.

I am a beautiful child of God, living in a beautiful world, filled with a beautiful spirit. When I affirm these words, I behold myself as I truly am—a spiritual being, filled with the renewing life of God. My body is a holy temple; my mind is a powerful tool; my heart is an open vessel.

I give thanks for the beauty of the world around me. From the smallest atom to the grandest mountain range—I know that beauty is divinely created, just as I am.

When I remember the Truth of who I am, I feel the powerful spirit of God within me. I am a creative, confident person, blessed with the spirit to accomplish all that I believe is possible. I am the unique, beautiful person I am meant to be.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.—Psalm 50:2

Pray for Others - Thursday, June 13, 2013 | Daily Word

Pray for Others

UPLIFTED IN PRAYER, I AFFIRM THE HIGHEST GOOD FOR ALL.

Through the power of prayer, I lift up my dear ones. Any time is the perfect time to visualize my family and friends vitally alive, enjoying the gift of life and living in harmony with each other and the world around them. Prayer is an easy gift to give.

If something on the news catches my attention, I add it to my daily prayer. Looking beyond the images, I see healing unfolding and a divine plan for good being revealed. Nothing is beyond the power of God to restore, to re-create, and to resolve, so I give it all to God in prayer.

As I read the Daily Word, I know that I am part of a vast spiritual community praying for one another with faith in the good that will result.

Pray for one another, so that you may be healed.—James 5:16

Healing - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 | Daily Word

Healing

I RADIATE HEALTH, HARMONY, AND WHOLENESS.

Some say that healing happens in God’s time. I know that God’s time is continuous. Healing is occurring at every moment. As my physical body responds to its natural call to wholeness, healing is manifest.

I cooperate with the harmonizing, regenerating energy of God radiating through me as health, harmony, and wholeness. If I am experiencing a time of dis-ease, I listen to my body and my inner guidance. I affirm divine life in my thoughts, words, and prayers. I get the rest and nutrition I need to support the divine healing work happening within me.

I set aside impatience or frustration, and focus my energy on health and well-being. Healing is in progress this very moment.

I am going to bring it recovery and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security.—Jeremiah 33:6

Gratitude - Tuesday, June 11, 2013 | Daily Word

Gratitude

I GIVE THANKS FOR ALL OF LIFE’S BLESSINGS.

A wise person once said that gratitude is the memory of the heart. My memories enrich my life as the days and years go by. I recall treasured memories that continue to enrich my soul.

I choose to review my memory bank with gratitude. Recalling the kindness of others brings a smile to my face and lifts my spirits. I appreciate the people who have shared this life with me. My memories of good times and good people reveal the light of Spirit that shines unceasingly on us all.

As I look back with gratitude for the loved ones and opportunities that have brought me great joy and fulfillment, I also enjoy the fullness of this present moment. Right now, I am making memories for the years to come.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.—Matthew 6:21

God in Action - Monday, June 10, 2013 | Daily Word

God in Action

GOD IS AT WORK IN ME.

I am a unique individual, and God is active in and through me. Through the power of free will, I choose the mold or pattern I desire. In so doing, I cocreate with God.

My heart is lifted as I see the beauty of God’s world. My song is in tune with the rhythm of the Divine. My spirit was not meant to be earth-bound. As I walk upon the earth, I feel the pulse of divine life in every step. I am a part of the very soil that I tread. God is in all things—the earth, moon, and stars, in the distant and the near. I bless and praise the wonders of God’s creation.

I see God in all people everywhere. The heartbeat of all humankind is the heart of the Divine. Thank you, God, that I am free to express the real me, which is a part of all that is good, which is one with you.

I will sing and make melody to the Lord.—Psalm 27:6

Secure - Sunday, June 09, 2013 | Daily Word

Secure

ALL IS WELL.

Everyone needs to feel safe, to have an inner assurance as well as an outer assurance of sustenance and security. Today I contemplate the promise of divine protection. When Jesus wanted to reassure his followers, he reminded them that God is present in all creation, even caring about the tiniest bird. This idea gives me comfort too. I am confident that the power and presence of God is protecting me in all ways.

Any time I am concerned for others, I relax in the awareness that God is guiding my loved ones to peace and safety. I reinforce my sense of security through prayer, which deepens my conviction that all is well.

Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?—Matthew 6:26
