Loyalty - Thursday, February 06, 2014 | Daily Word

I AM DEDICATED TO EXPRESSING SPIRIT IN AND THROUGH MY LIFE.

Throughout our lives we may dedicate ourselves to various groups and organizations. We may support schools and social clubs, sports teams or political parties. As our involvement with these groups changes, the intensity of our loyalty may fade.

In contrast, my loyalty and dedication to God surpasses any human association. The spirit of God is ever-­present. Spirit is my own true nature, closer than hands and feet.

Every day, I am guided to my highest good. Divine wisdom steers my thoughts, words, and actions. Divine Love supports me, and Divine Life energizes me. I dedicate myself to God by expressing Spirit in my own unique way.

I will sing of loyalty and of justice; to you, O Lord, I will sing.—Psalm 101:1

Inner Peace - Wednesday, February 05, 2014 | Daily Word

I AM AT PEACE IN THIS PRESENT MOMENT.

In our fast-paced lives, finding inner peace requires intention and practice. As I focus on the present moment and all that it holds, I release any hurry or anxiety. I let go of past concerns and future expectations. Centered in this now moment, I discover inner peace.

I may experience peace as a feeling of serenity, a state of harmony, or a deep trust that all is well. Knowing God is with and within me, as close as my very breath, I feel the assuring presence of peace.

My spiritual practices—prayer, meditation, and contemplation—help me maintain a consciousness of peace. In the midst of any rush or confusion, I center on the presence of peace in the present moment, and all is well.

The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts.–Philippians 4:7

Wholeness - Tuesday, February 04, 2014 | Daily Word

I SPEAK EMPOWERING WORDS OF TRUTH.

To support the natural healing process, I affirm my wholeness in mind and body. Acknowledging my oneness with the Divine, I affirm the truth of my innate perfection.

Health is my natural state. I claim the divine qualities of strength, life, and well-being. I affirm complete health by stating: I am an expression of God’s wholeness. I am filled with the revitalizing healing power of Life.

These words of affirmative prayer stir renewal and revitalization in me. As I speak these words, I remember my spiritual identity. I align my thoughts with my true nature and rest in knowing my body and mind have the divine ability to restore themselves to wholeness.

He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from destruction.—Psalm 107:20

Imagination - Monday, February 03, 2014 | Daily Word

THROUGH THE POWER OF IMAGINATION, I CREATE AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE.

An artist uses his or her imagination to turn common materials into something extraordinary. In the same way, I make my life a masterpiece by using the power of my imagination, together with my skills and enthusiasm, to create a marvelous life.

Through my thoughts, words, and actions, I turn divine ideas into form. I receive insight and inspiration from Divine Mind and creatively express the spirit of God in my own unique way.

While society may encourage conformity, I embrace my individuality, applying my unique gifts and perspective to the life I have been given to live. Through the power of imagination, I express the One in me.

Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one object for special use and another for ordinary use?—Romans 9:21

Gratefulness - Sunday, February 02, 2014 | Daily Word

GRATITUDE IS HAPPINESS.

Gratitude is a state of mind, a way of seeing things, and a spiritual practice. It enriches my life and focuses my attention on the good. Mindfully, I look for and acknowledge every blessing in my life. I am thankful for clean air and water, knowing they are precious. I am grateful for the love of friends and family. I give thanks that my needs are met—from the basic nece-ssities to my grandest dreams.

When I live in gratitude, I tap into the infinite reservoir of divine good. I experience the fullness of life and recognize God as my source. My first waking thought is gratitude and my final nighttime prayer is thanksgiving. Gratitude is happiness, and I make it my way of life.

I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.—Psalm 9:1

Let Go,Let God - Saturday, February 01, 2014 | Daily Word

I BOLDLY LET GO AND TRUST IN GOD.

Holding on to the familiar may feel more comfortable than facing the unknown. Change can be frightening. Yet as I look back at my life, my breakthroughs have occurred when I was willing to let go of the usual routine, accept any temporary discomfort of change, and try something new.

With this in mind, I now set aside any anxiety about a potential change and trust in God. I let go of others’ expectations and follow my inner calling. I let go of the way things have always been and let God lead the way to something new. Releasing any fear of the unknown, I step out in faith.

I boldly let go and let God and see my life unfold in new and exciting ways.

Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths.—Psalm 25:4
