This is The Day

Bounty


Bountiful blessings echo through my words and manifest in my life.

The start of spring brings a sense of bounty as new life awakens from the drowsiness of winter. I cultivate a springtime consciousness of newness and abundance by calling forth the divine blessings available to me now.



As I focus on the Divine within--the source of all my good--bounty pours into my awareness as ideas and opportunities. Possibilities for order, health, wisdom, love and joy echo through my creative word and manifest in my life. Countless blessings of good fill the once-idle spaces of my life in energizing and delightful ways. I am sustained by the awareness of good supporting and renewing me now.



The Lord will open for you his rich storehouse, the heavens, ... to bless all your undertakings.--Deuteronomy 28:12

Pray for PEACE

Serenity


I am an instrument of peace and serenity.

In the rush of everyday activities, peace and quiet may seem an elusive dream. So I begin each day with a time of prayer and meditation in which I enter the kingdom of God within.



In meditation, I mentally draw an image that reminds me of peace. It may be a quiet lake or the face of a loved one. I may recall the words of a favorite song or Scripture. Whatever I choose to visualize or focus on becomes a touchstone to which I can return any moment of the day.



My key to this sacred inner space, this center of serenity and love deep within, is a simple "Thank you, God." In appreciation, I realize the love that supports me. I realize God and I are one.



The effect of righteousness will be peace.--Isaiah 32:17

To Give unto The Lord

Surrender


With positive expectation, I surrender to Spirit.

Some may think surrender means giving up, but surrender is giving over. I give over to God whatever is keeping me from being all I can be. I let go of resentment, worry and negative habits--ways of thinking and acting that drain my energy and potential.



As I give these thoughts and habits over to Spirit, they are no longer mine to carry. I feel the weight lifting off my shoulders, replaced by lightness of being, intense gratitude and positive expectation.



I now focus my mind on the power and presence of Spirit in me. I open to divine ideas and direction. I am one with God, and in that oneness I experience deep peace and faith.



Those who bring thanksgiving as their sacrifice honor me. --Psalm 50:23

What a Blessing

Vision


I see the good in my life and in the world.

Today I embrace an expanded view of my life and my world. I am awakening to my divine potential, and I am aware of the abundance of good in my life. I see myself as a child of God, supported and guided, sustained and whole, vibrant and enthusiastic.



I envision the best for myself and for others. I intentionally behold the innate beauty in the faces and hearts of people around me. I value the unique expressions of divine life. I honor our differences while appreciating our oneness.



I enlarge my vision to include peace and prosperity for everyone. I open to a world of positive possibilities and expect the manifestation of all that is good.



They said to him, "Lord, let our eyes be opened."--Matthew 20:33

Today is a Great Day in The Lord

Celebrate


I celebrate today as a gift from God.

Celebrations are a wonderful part of life. They mark important occasions, milestones and turning points. They provide opportunities to honor the people I love. Every day can be a celebration, for every day is a gift from God.



How would I like to celebrate today? Would I like to spend time with family and friends? Would I like to pamper myself? Would I prefer celebrating in quiet solitude, allowing time for contemplation and prayer?



There is no other day like today. Today holds its own blessings for me, for it is a gift from God. I choose to celebrate this day with joy and enthusiasm. It is a divine blessing for me and others.



This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. --Psalm 118:24

True Success

Success


The light of God leads me to success.

How do I measure success? Is it the balance in my bank account, the number of friends I have or the amount of things I own? These are material markers, but they do not reflect who I am.



The true measure of success is my ability to greet each day with a positive attitude and the assurance that I am in my right and perfect place. It is my willingness to allow the presence of God to guide me to right actions. It is my capacity to trust the power of God to sustain me.



As I let God's light shine on all I do, I cannot fail. Staying faithful to the powerful Presence within me, I move forward with confidence. This is my measure of success.



Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. --Psalm 119:105

Faith is All we Need

Faith


I have faith in the goodness of God manifesting in my life right now.

Faith comes to us when we cease to think of external things as having power over us and realize that God--which is all power--brings good into manifestation through us. We increase our faith in God as we realize, in reality, there is only God. No other power exists.



I wake up in the morning in anticipation, looking forward to seeing the activity of Spirit in the day ahead. I have faith that the goodness of God is now being made manifest in, through and around me.



Approaching every situation from the standpoint of absolute faith in God, I find my worries and doubts short-lived. Faith brings answers to prayer, and visible and tangible evidence of the goodness of God.



Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.--Mark 11:24
