Inner Peace - Dr. James A. Lee

Inner Peace - 


Inner Peace
AS I FOCUS ON GOD, I AM FILLED WITH PEACE.
The Hebrew Bible includes countless examples of people making offerings to God of food, objects or animals. What if the offering I made to the Divine today was my undivided attention?
I begin by settling into a quiet space and making God my focal point. I consciously withdraw my focus from the tasks I have before me today. Any concerns that remain are gently accepted as I nudge my full awareness back to God, back to the present moment.
Having laid this offering of attention at the altar of the Divine, I feel a reciprocal gift of inner peace rising up from within. When I leave this time and return to my day, I share the gift of peace with everyone I meet.
The people … sacrificed at the high places, but only to the Lord their God.—2 Chronicles 33:17

Encouragement - Daily Word -Dr. James A. Lee

EncouragementEncouragement
THE CHRIST SPIRIT WITHIN INSPIRES AND UPLIFTS ME NOW AND ALWAYS.
Sometimes others believe in me more than I believe in myself. Hearing others say with absolute sincerity, “You can do it!” encourages me. Parents, grandparents, teachers and friends have been my cheerleaders when I have needed confidence and reassurance.
Yet profound encouragement also comes from within. In my heart, I connect with the Christ of my being and encourage myself. I affirm: I am a child of God, meant to be happy, healthy and free. The Christ Spirit of success is working in me now. I am worthy and ready to express my divine nature.
I am uplifted as I accept and freely share the gifts I have been given. Through the Christ Spirit within, I can do it!
Encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing.—1 Thessalonians 5:11

Joy - Daily Word-Dr. James A. Lee

Joy - Joy
I EXPRESS THE FULL JOY OF LIVING.

We all strive for ideals. We all have a notion of what we want to be. But if we delay our happiness while we wait for some change or perceived improvement, we overlook much of life and its joys. If we look longingly toward a time when life will be different, we miss the unique pleasures of the present.
The greatest assurance of a joy-filled future is the cultivation of happiness now. Everystep of life’s pathway is rich and joyous. Every person, every task, every circumstance bears a blessing. To find those blessings and be glad in them is to fulfill our divine birthright.
I look to the goodness all about me, and express the full joy of living right now.
My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy.—James 1:2

Belive in God-Dr. James A. Lee

Believe - 

Believe
MY BELIEF IN GOD SUSTAINS ME.
In the book This I Believe, famous men and women in history share their personal philosophies beginning with the statement, “I believe ….” So I ask myself, What do I believe? What is important to me? It may be the love of family and friends, or the pride I take in the place I live or the work I do.
While many things are important to me, the belief I hold most dear is my belief in the power and presence of God. This is the foundation of my life. It is the place where I begin and end each day, and it sustains me.
I close my eyes for a moment of prayer. Breathing into and out of my whole body, I rest in an awareness of God’s presence. At one with God, I am soothed and strengthened, empowered and enlivened. I believe in God’s presence within me. I am at peace.
“Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped him.—John 9:38

To Feel Better-Dr. James A. Lee

Healing - Saturday, June 09, 2012 | Daily Word

Healing
I AM THE LIVING EXPRESSION OF GOD’S PERFECT IDEA.
Today I devote my prayer time to the divine idea of wholeness. In the Silence, I focus on the innate power of God within. This power created me to be a living expression of a perfect idea.
Wholeness is our natural state of being, the vibrancy of God expressed through all living things. While proper medical and psychological care support our healing, wholeness is our essential nature. It comes from within. Both the idea of perfection and its capacity to become manifest are implanted within each individual.
I am at one with God. I affirm health of every kind—physical, emotional, mental and spiritual—in my life and the lives of all.
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? … glorify God in your body.—1 Corinthians 6:19, 20

The Glory of God
