Thank You

WITH GRATITUDE, I BRING YOU TO HEART AND MIND. YOU ARE A GIFT FROM GOD.

When I look back on the times I’ve shared with friends and family, I know our bonds cannot be broken. Through laughter and tears, good times and bad, we have created indelible memories.

Today I take the opportunity to tell my loved ones how much they mean to me. I give thanks for the many ways in which they have blessed and enriched my life. I seek ways to honor them.

Many people I may have never personally met have also helped make my life better. Public servants, service providers and others who work behind the scenes, all contribute to my life in significant ways. Today I also say a prayer of gratitude for the work they do and the ways in which they serve.

I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers.—Ephesians 1:16

THE POWER OF GOD PROTECTS MY LOVED ONES AND ME.

The One Presence in the universe—God the good—is all-powerful, all-knowing and everywhere present. I turn to the presence of God within me to guide my choices, inspire my thinking, adjust my attitude, and infuse my interactions with love and respect.

I give thanks for the illuminating light that surrounds me, the divine love that enfolds me, and the power that protects me. Likewise, I hold this truth for my loved ones and know they are safe and secure.

With my faith and trust firmly in God, I am at peace. I am free to enjoy life, to travel and to savor new adventures, living each day with confidence.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts. —Psalm 28:7

World Peace - Dr. James A. Lee

World Peace - Saturday, May 26, 2012 | Daily WordWorld Peace

PRAYERFULLY, I STAND FOR PEACE.

In my thoughts and prayers, I affirm peace for myself and for the world. With patience and courage, I stand for peace no matter what the circumstance. I hold a vision of peace in the midst of conflict. I honor the dream of peace in each one of us.

My prayer and vision are made manifest when I serve as an understanding presence during a disagreement. Standing for peace, I encourage others to listen, to honor each other, and to seek common ground.

Every land, every nation, includes people like me who are standing for peace. We are one in Spirit, and our oneness generates true power. One by one, we stand for peace and together we bring it forth in our world.

Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. —Isaiah 2:4

Will

THE GIFTS OF SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING AND WILL PROPEL ME TO MY HIGHEST GOOD.

Willfulness is action without guidance. Impulsive decisions, made without careful discernment, can lead me down a rocky path. Before making a decision, I take time to quiet my inner dialogue and align with Divine Mind. In the Silence, I open to the wisdom of Spirit.

Ideas fill my imagination, beyond what I had considered possible. Divine will urges me to express my infinite potential. Powered by spiritual understanding, I am propelled to my highest good.

Divine will pushes me to move out of complacency and claim the abundant good that awaits. I open to its power and confidently pursue the realization of my God-given potential.

I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.—John 6:38

Comfort

I GIVE AND RECEIVE FROM THE LOVE OF GOD WITHIN.

Anytime I feel disappointed or sad about some aspect of my life, I go within to the presence of God. Resting in God’s pure love, I am put at ease. The love of God comforts me.

The love I share with others springs from this Presence at the core of my being. With every caring and compassionate word and action, I am a conduit for God’s love.

I bring to mind the Prayer of Saint Francis, a prayer revered for centuries. In these words, I am reassured that as I give, so I receive:

Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love. For it is in giving that we receive.

Comfort your hearts and strengthen them in every good work and word.—2 Thessalonians 2:17

I AM RENEWED IN BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT.

An automobile runs best when it is well-tuned and properly maintained—and so do I! My spiritual maintenance depends on devoting time to prayer and meditation. With proper attention to my spiritual well-being, I continue to move smoothly through life.

If I encounter bumps in the road, I shift my thinking to consider a new perspective, just as I might shift the gears on my car. I slow down to concentrate on an issue and gradually regain momentum as I attain clarity and understanding. I shift to a higher consciousness, and I gain a new perspective, a sense of peace and renewed awareness of my oneness with God.

For I am about to create new heavens and a new earth. —Isaiah 65:1
