I AM FREE TO RESPOND TO ANY SITUATION WITH GRACE AND EASE.

Life can be like a winding road—filled with sharp turns, unexpected bumps, and steep hills. At times we may anxiously clutch the wheel; at others, we relax and enjoy the ride. Occasionally, we may need to pull off the road and simply catch our breath.

Meditation allows us to catch our breath and relax into our life experience. We become aware of our inner world, acknowledge our experiences, and release them. We let go of worry and stress and come home to the peace and wisdom of Divine Mind, where true freedom lies. We free ourselves to respond to life consciously and react calmly. Centered in God, we accept and appreciate whatever life brings.

You shall know that I am the Lord your God, who has freed you.—Exodus 6:7

MY HEALING IS QUICKENED THROUGH FAITH.

Wholeness is our natural state of being—the pattern of perfection inherent to all life. Healing is the process of bringing that innate wholeness into full expression.

If I am injured, millions of cells collaborate to complete their healing work in my body. Some cells focus on repairing the wound while others fight infection. Divine Life continually seeks to restore wholeness in my body, mind, and spirit.

If I perceive sickness or disease, I look beyond surface appearances and behold the deeper truth of my wholeness. I expect and accept healing for myself and others. My faith in the power of Life quickens the healing process.

For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal.—Jeremiah 30:17

I HOLD A VISION FOR PEACE IN THE WORLD.

God is universal peace, the unconditional love that binds all humanity. Even in seemingly hopeless situations, God is there. God is the way, the hope, and the foundation for unity and oneness of all life.

Faith in God allows us to see goodness revealed even in the midst of conflict or strife. Prayer helps to quicken the harmonizing power of Spirit within all. Wisdom leads us to build community, demonstrate love, and support the rights of all people to live in peace and well-being.

Empowered by God within, we act on the opportunities before us to express and embody God’s peace through our thoughts, words, and actions.

Pursue peace with everyone, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.—Hebrews 12:14

Pray for Others - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 | Daily Word

I AFFIRM GOD’S GOOD, KNOWING ALL IS WELL.

Prayer connects me to the presence and power of God within me and all others. A heartfelt prayer is the first gift I offer a friend or loved one who is facing a challenge or concern.

If I receive news from a dear one in need of prayer, I begin by aligning my heart and mind with God. I awaken to the presence of peace, wholeness, abundance, and strength within. My prayer acknowledges and affirms these same qualities in myself and the one for whom I pray.

I complete my sacred prayer time with gratitude, releasing any attachment to specific results. Divine Presence knows what others need and fulfills those needs in the best way possible. I give thanks for the power of prayer and leave the rest to God.

Beloved, pray for us.–1 Thessalonians 5:25

I RECOGNIZE A WORLD RICH IN OPPORTUNITY.

The Universe is teeming with bountiful gifts and blessings to share with me, and I am worthy of receiving them!

I have no use for unworthiness, guilt, or shame. I release any ideas or practices that serve only to deter my good. I replace negative self-talk with confident self-love and feel my doubts disappear.

When I accept myself fully, realize my divine nature, and believe in my own worth, I stand a little taller. I know I have a place to fill in this world that no one else can fill. I behold a world rich in opportunity.

I give myself permission to receive all the gifts and support the Universe is eager to shower upon me. I expect the best and receive it gratefully.

Lead a life worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.—1 Thessalonians 2:12

Let Go - Monday, May 12, 2014 | Daily Word

I LET GO AND OPEN MY LIFE TO GREATER GOOD.

Letting go can be such an empowering experience! I let go of limited thinking, negative influences and experiences, and unhealthy habits that drain my energy.

As I let go, I open the door to greater good—to new relationships, positive interactions, freedom, and contentment. By letting go, I become willing to receive new blessings.

I place my trust in a power greater than myself and know without a doubt that God is with me and within me, guiding all I do. As I loose and let go of that which no longer serves my highest good, my life flourishes. I embrace my transformation with joy and grow in God!

Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to you.—Revelation 3:20

Compassion

COMPASSION INSPIRES ME TO LOVE WITHOUT LIMIT.

When someone I know is struggling, my heart is moved to compassion. I may offer help and assurance or simply hold them in prayer. The love of God within inspires me to love others without limits.

By cultivating compassion, I connect with my humanity. I realize that we are all human beings with the same basic needs. The qualities I want for my life, others want as well. Every person wants safety, love, family and friendship, opportunities to thrive, and a sense of well-being.

Compassion encourages me to act with loving-kindness. As I love others more, I grow in awareness of my true nature—I am the love of God in expression.

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted.—Ephesians 4:32

Divine Order

MY LIFE UNFOLDS IN DIVINE ORDER.

In an effort to achieve my goals quickly, I may push and hurry. Perhaps I’m trying to harvest my crop of dreams and intentions before they’ve had the chance to mature. Just as seeds need nourishment and time, divine ideas yield positive results when they unfold in their natural time and order.

I align with divine order by putting God first in my thoughts and actions. I affirm: I am immersed in the natural flow of life. Attuned to Spirit, I am open to guidance. I listen, observe, and receive nuances, nudges, and intuition.

I wait or act as guided, trusting that divine order is unfolding. I reap the rewards when I align myself with God and have faith in divine timing.

The earth produces of itself, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head.—Mark 4:28

Strength

I MEET EVERY CHALLENGE WITH STRENGTH.

Strength enables me to persevere when I am challenged; yet I don’t need to endure alone. The presence of God strengthens me whenever I need energy to meet any adversity.

Just as I nourish my body at mealtimes to remain physically strong, I nourish my spiritual strength through prayer and meditation. Prayer reminds me that God and I are one, that everything I need is already available to me. I connect with God’s mighty presence by affirming: My resilience comes from Spirit within. My strength is the energy of God.

As I partner with God in prayer, I become stronger physically, mentally, and emotionally. I meet any challenge through the presence of God that strengthens me.

The Lord is my strength and my might, and he has become my salvation.–Exodus 15:2

I AM GUIDED FORWARD, ONE STEP AT A TIME.

Sailors once navigated the seas by considering the position of the stars. Today we use global positioning systems to help us navigate our roads and highways. But how do we find our way when no road map exists? What happens when we enter into uncharted territory?

The future is rarely revealed as clearly as a road map. When I am unsure of my path, I may be fearful. My heart may pound and my thoughts may race. Yet if I listen to my inner wisdom, my next step becomes clear. With faith, I follow the light of intuition as I am guided forward, one step at a time.

As I trust in divine guidance, my confidence grows. From one step to the next, I travel safely to my destination.

You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me with honor.—Psalm 73:24

Forgive - Tuesday, May 06, 2014 | Daily Word

I FORGIVE AND GOD’S GOOD FLOWS THROUGH ME.

God is love, and through me God’s love finds expression. When I am loving, God’s good is flowing freely through me. But if I hold on to anger, I am unreceptive to the good God has for me—I block Love’s expression. To be an open channel for God, I discern and release any thoughts unlike Love.

I begin by ceasing self-judgment and loving myself. I am learning and growing; mistakes are a part of my journey. In the same way, I release any judgment or blame about others and choose love instead. I let go of belief in failure or limitation. I am stronger, wiser, and more loving with each life lesson.

As I love and forgive, obstacles dissolve and good flows freely in my life.

Therefore, I tell you, her sins, which were many, have been forgiven; hence she has shown great love.—Luke 7:47

Miracle - Monday, May 05, 2014 | Daily Word

AS I APPLY SPIRITUAL LAWS,I EXPERIENCE MIRACULOUS BLESSINGS.

What may seem miraculous is actually the result of spiritual law put into practice. Rather than supernatural, miracles are the natural outcome of working with spiritual principles.

I intentionally apply the law of mind action to create my desired reality. I know that thoughts held in mind produce after their kind. I focus my thoughts on what I want and act as if it is already done. As my fondest dreams become manifest, it may seem miraculous. However, they have come true through my faith, confidence, and creativity. As I create the life I want, I give thanks that the power of God is always at work in my life.

Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill.—Matthew 5:17

One Mind

I AM ONE WITH DIVINE MIND.

There is but One Mind. It is indivisible. It is the only authentic power in the Universe. Divine Mind is the presence in which I live, move, and have my being. Yet I may occasionally fall prey to confusion, suffering, or falsely believing that I am operating alone and separate from God.

In reality, I am never apart from God. Spirit is the very substance of my life; the intelligence infusing my every act. Through prayer and meditation, I remember I am one with God, now and always.

I align my mind with Divine Mind and bask in the realization that the seeming two are inextricably one—one love, one joy, one mind, one life.

Make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.—Philippians 2:2

SPIRIT IS ACTIVE IN ME TO ACCOMPLISH UNLIMITED GOOD.

Every dream has a point of origin—a moment when we know there is something that is ours to do. Our dreams are sparked by divine ideas. From the start of any new adventure, I draw upon my faith, because I know I am one with Divine Mind. I embrace divine ideas as they come to me, knowing I have the power to bring them to fruition.

Through the power of imagination, I envision my dreams unfolding. I cultivate them in my consciousness and give thanks for their ultimate manifestation.

I use the power of strength to persevere in my goals and use wisdom and will to make the right choices. With a spirit of success, I joyfully embark on new life adventures.

Be glad and rejoice forever in what I am creating.—Isaiah 65:18

Attitude

I MAINTAIN A HOPEFUL AND POSITIVE ATTITUDE.

Today I display one of the greatest powers a person can demonstrate—the power of choice. Circumstances may sometimes appear bleak, but nothing and no one can keep God’s good from me. I choose faith instead of doubt. I choose peace instead of worry. I choose clarity over confusion.

As I maintain a hopeful and positive attitude, I attract all the resources I need to overcome any challenge or reach any goal. Nothing can disturb my peace; nothing can weaken my faith.

When facing difficulties or feeling rushed, I take a moment to put the situation in perspective. I consciously choose a hopeful and positive attitude, which buoys my spirit and lifts my mind above any worry or concern.

Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up.—Ephesians 4:29

I AM A LIVING EXPRESSION OF GOD’S PERFECTION.

Every individual is a living expression of God’s perfection, wholeness, power, creativity, and joy. We have within us the pattern of perfection and the ability to bring it into manifestation.

Today, and every day, I have the opportunity to be God in expression. By fully being who I am, I demonstrate God in my own unique way. I offer love and kindness, peace and acceptance to others. I act with honor and integrity and live a joyous and fulfilling life.

I am made in the image and likeness of God, a living expression of Spirit. I am here to express, as fully as possible, the divine nature of my being.

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God?—1 Corinthians 6:19

Heart-Centered - Wednesday, April 30, 2014 | Daily Word

MY HEART IS THE ABODE OF LOVE.

In a moment of quiet contemplation, I fix my thoughts on my heart center, and very quickly, I feel the love of God. Allowing my attention to rest here for a few moments, I declare silently: I am the abode of Love.

Love is synonymous with God. It is unfailing and unchanging, mine to draw upon at any time. When I allow Love to permeate my entire being, it becomes a powerful force, driving out any doubt, sadness, or fear.

My heart fills with the mighty magnetic force of Love, and I am empowered to do only good, to share only love. My every thought, word, and action express the love of God in me. Aglow with God’s love, my heart becomes a magnet attracting good from every direction.

Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.—Proverbs 4:23

Prayer

IN PRAYER, I COMMUNE WITH SPIRIT.

I treasure the act of prayer—communing with Spirit about what is on my heart and mind. I may say a prayer of gratitude for a specific blessing, or seek a change in circumstances. I may pray for clarity about a difficult decision or for the needs of a loved one. As I live in constant communication with Spirit, my life becomes a prayer.

Answered prayer comes to me as an opportunity, a divine idea, a sense of hope, or perhaps a serendipitous connection with another. Whenever I pray, I feel connected, one with God. I believe in and expect answered prayers. I pray for “This or something better,” and I give thanks. As my prayers are answered, my faith grows.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.—1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Faith

MY FAITH IS STRONG AND MY LIFE SUCCESSFUL.

Faith is the perceiving power of mind coupled with the power to shape substance. It is knowing that what I seek is already mine in Spirit. Through the power of faith and the energy of God, I cocreate experiences of health, abundance, and joy.

Faith is like the steel used to reinforce and strengthen concrete. Steel provides a strong foundation on which to build a desired structure. Likewise, faith provides a stable foundation for creating the life I want to live.

I allow faith to permeate my mind, filling me with the assurance of God’s good. Day by day, as I live in faith, it grows stronger and my life unfolds with ease and grace.

Who is a rock besides our God? The God who girded me with strength, and made my way safe.—Psalm 18:31-32

Unique

I HONOR GOD’S GRACE BY EXPRESSING MY UNIQUE GIFTS.

Robert Browning wrote that there is “an inmost center in us all, where truth abides in fullness.” To know this inmost center, he said, we must open a way for the “imprisoned splendor” to escape.

When my attention is focused outward, I may find that I compare myself to others or wish I was in some way different or better. When I turn inward, I see through the eyes of the Divine and realize my innate wholeness and perfection.

I embrace my unique combination of God-given gifts and acknowledge my heart’s desire to express them. Uplifted and inspired, I joyfully share the richness of my divine inheritance with the world.

Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.—1 Peter 4:10
