The Incredible Gift

Grace


I live fully in the grace of Spirit.

The spiritual leaders in Jesus' time believed that in order to earn favor with God, one must obey strict behavioral rules. By contrast, Jesus emphasized spiritual discipline that drew people closer to the kingdom of God within.



God within me is the flow of all good and the essence of all life. If I feel separation or experience lack, I know these are error thoughts, and I realign with the truth of my being.



In prayer, I connect with Spirit. I recognize the activity of grace everywhere. I co-create a full and meaningful life by giving generously and receiving joyfully. Abundance, wholeness, understanding, vibrancy, strength and peace are mine.



God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.--John 4:24

Trust in God

Let Go, Let God


I let go, confident in the good God provides.

If I leave one job for a better one, or move into a more comfortable home, letting go of the old may feel easy. But it can be more difficult to let go when I am unsure about what is to come. Sometimes staying in an unsatisfying situation feels safer than stepping into the unknown.



When my spirit knows I need to let go, I do it with confidence that my good is being revealed. I release to God any concerns, situations or relationships that no longer serve me. Even when my future is uncertain, healing and growth are assured.



I am open to and cooperate with the guidance of Spirit even before the path ahead is clear. I release, let go and claim my divine potential.



Do not, therefore, abandon that confidence of yours; it brings a great reward.--Hebrews 10:35

Connecting with God for Healing

Healing


Through the healing power of God, I experience my wholeness.

Health is my divine birthright. Making inner and outer adjustments in my mind, body and spirit, I reveal my innate wholeness. I am restored to perfection on every level.



In my mind's eye, I visualize disconnecting from any pent-up bitterness or disappointment that may be manifesting in my body as dis-ease or pain. I imagine the energy of these emotions being drained and replaced by pure healing light from the Divine within. This purifying energy stream flows through me, undiminished by any diagnosis or prognosis.



I am grateful for the healing taking place within me now. Every cell and system of my body responds positively to the healing power of God within me as I connect to wholeness.



But Jesus said, "Someone touched me; for I noticed that power had gone out from me."--Luke 8:46

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
