Keep Moving Forward

Home | Daily WordPERSISTENCE

With God, all things are possible.

Great discoveries have been made by persons who kept trying after their initial efforts failed. They proved failure can be turned into success by just one more try.

No matter how difficult a problem may appear, I do not become discouraged. I am confident and persistent. I know I do not work alone. All things are possible with God, and the spirit of God is within me.

If I have fallen, I am lifted up. If I am lost, the spirit of God within me illumines my mind and shows me the path. I turn within and find new insight, strength and determination. I persist and watch as seeming failure turns into success.

So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up.--Galatians 6:9

The Light of The Lord

GUIDANCE

I am attuned to Spirit and act on the guidance I receive.

At certain times in my life, I may want to make detailed plans, and at others, I am more comfortable waiting to see what happens. In either case, divine guidance is available to me.

When I pray for guidance, the answer may be subtle or unmistakable. Direction may come as a whisper or it may seem like an opportunity has been dropped in my lap. However it manifests, I listen to Spirit and pay attention to my inner knowing.

Whether I am setting goals and outlining a plan, or simply setting an intention and observing what transpires, I hold to my faith. I take action, ask for help if I need it, and celebrate success with gratitude to God.

When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you. --Proverbs 6:22

The Eye of Love

FORGIVENESS

Forgiveness heals me.

Jesus modeled forgiveness when he reminded us to "love one another." If situations in my life seem unjust or I believe people have treated me unfairly, I remember Jesus' words and open to forgiveness. I see myself and others through eyes of love.

Forgiveness may seem difficult at times, but it is always a healing activity. As I forgive thoroughly, I am healed of anger and resentment that can harm my mind and body.

When I forgive another, I open the way for Spirit to bless me. Channels of love within me open up, and walls of bitterness break down. The healing love of the Christ rushes forth from the very heart of my being. I am free to move forward in peace.

Forgive, and render to all whose heart you know, according to all their ways, for only you know the human heart.--2 Chronicles 6:30

Be Strong

Strength


I am strong in body and mind.

The strength of God is present and active within my body and mind. God's vision for me is wholeness and vitality. I align my thoughts, feelings and beliefs with these truths and remove any barriers I may have built in fear. I open to the flow of divine energy and life that strengthens, sustains and heals me in body and mind.



Just as divine strength infuses my body, it also empowers me to use my mind constructively. In faith, I focus my thoughts on what I want to experience. If I find myself worrying, I gently set those worries aside and affirm I am strong in body and mind. I draw from the wellspring of divine strength within.



The Lord will guide you continually, ... and you shall be like a watered garden, ... like a spring of water, whose waters never fail. --Isaiah 58:11

The Way

Navigate


The spirit of God within me lovingly navigates my way.

A Global Positioning System (GPS) in one's car shows the way to new places, while a friendly, automated voice gives turn-by-turn instructions on how to get to a specific destination.



Similarly, we have an internal GPS which we can activate anytime to steer us on our spiritual journey. My internal guidance arises through intuitive prompts, gut instinct and an inner knowing that guides me where I need to be.



The voice that speaks to me is the still small voice within, which helps me navigate through any challenges. I listen for Spirit's cues when I am quiet and still, and I confidently follow the prompts to my highest good.



And when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left, your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it."--Isaiah 30:21
