FaithWriters.com-Christian Faith - A Faith Worth Living:

Have you ever wondered what faith a really do if we were to truly apply it to our lives in full measure? Jesus knew that a little faith could go a long way. Nevertheless, the rigors of life can appear rather stormy at best. What can we do to change this picture of gloom and despair?

The real question is one of understanding the very nature of life itself. There is so much we simply do not know nor  understand about life. Why do we do the things that we do? Is it because we only do what we know? Can we change the things we like and dislike without some form of sacrifice? The world is dying to know.

Jesus knew to well the heart of mankind. The world wanted to kill Him for spreading love and the forgiveness of sin. Jesus walked on the water to demonstrate the power of faith. Jesus died on the cross as an act of faith and love for all the universe. God raised Jesus from the grave so that one day He will indeed return to judge us our our faith in Him.

Faith is the substance of the unseen. The new heaven and Earth; a perfect picture of pure joy. Jesus is the focus point of our faith. We must trust Him with our deepest affairs in life. The things we do not know are the image of God in Christ Jesus where the streets are gold and the gates are pearls that have not been seen on this planet. We pray that our faith will see us through to the victory in Christ Jesus by faith.

Acceptance

I AM CONSCIOUSLY LIVING IN THE FLOW OF LIFE.

I accept the present moment as it is and release each moment as it passes. Trying to hold on to that which has passed inhibits me from experiencing the fullness of the current moment. Consciously present, accepting what is now, I am free to use my God-given abilities in productive ways.

I am in the flow of divine love and wisdom whether I am navigating challenges or basking in happiness; therefore, I accept this moment and whatever it holds. I know the goodness of God is active at all times, in all ways. Acceptance empowers me to make wise choices. With God as my guide, I live consciously in the flow of life.

The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time on and forevermore. —Psalm 121:8

Guidance

I AM GUIDED BY THE STILL SMALL VOICE WITHIN.

When I am seeking guidance, I sometimes need only a nudge in the right direction. At other times, I may feel lost, with no idea where to go. However great the need, I seek guidance by setting aside distracting activities and quieting scattered thoughts. I move into the stillness and turn my attention inward. Focusing on my breath or gentle music, I become calm and receptive.

In the still, open space of possibilities, I listen. If my mind races, I calm it by saying, “Peace, be still.” I wait with gentle expectancy, assured of God’s presence. In the stillness, my guidance is clear. I am at peace and confident as I move forward.

Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom for the future. —Proverbs 19:20

Awakening

OPENING MY MIND AND HEART TO GOD, I AWAKEN TO MY POTENTIAL.

Sometimes I underestimate myself and minimize what I am capable of accomplishing. Yet right now, I can make a conscious decision to stop worrying and start believing in myself and the power of God within me.

Opening my mind and heart to God’s love and support, I awaken to my potential. I am inspired and energized as the fog of concern lifts. I recognize myself as a beloved creation.

I say yes to life and try new things. My newfound confidence invites others to trust and support me as well.

Every day, I awaken anew to my life. I am grateful for who I am and all that I can accomplish through the power of God within.

I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us be on our way.—John 14:31

Divine Order

MY WORLD IS SET IN ORDER THROUGH SPIRIT’S ACTIVITY WITHIN ME.

If the circumstances in my life seem chaotic, I let divine order inspire me. In meditation, I recognize the power of divine order. No matter how confused or inharmonious conditions may seem in my life, the power of God to establish order is the one true power.

I harmonize with Spirit and open the way for divine order to manifest in all I think and do. As divine order takes hold in my mind, disturbing thoughts are stilled, and their disruptive influence in my life and environment ceases. Peace permeates my heart, understanding fills my thoughts, and harmony infuses my relationships.

I keep the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. —Psalm 16:8

Forgive

I FORGIVE AND IMMEDIATELY FEEL THE GRACE OF GOD.

It’s never a good idea to put off forgiveness. Instead, each time forgiveness comes to mind, I take action. I picture who or what I am angry about, offer a blessing and release the feelings to God. I may need to do this multiple times, and that is okay. When forgiveness seems too difficult, I pray for grace and faith.

I forgive those who are a part of my life now or have been in the past. I forgive circumstances that did not turn out as I hoped. I forgive myself for anything I did or didn’t do. As I forgive, compassion fills my heart, making it easier to forgive the next time.

Each time I realize I am holding on to a hurt, I forgive, and I am strengthened.

Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength that God supplies.—1 Peter 4:11

A Father’s Blessing

MAY EVERY FATHER BE BLESSED WITH STRENGTH AND WISDOM.

In many nations, today is a day set aside to bless and celebrate our fathers. I take this opportunity to honor the strength, leadership, guidance and wisdom of my father and others who have mentored and supported me in my life. I am grateful for the strength and wisdom of fathers throughout the world who encourage and support their children.

Strength and wisdom are spiritual attributes given to us by God. I give thanks for their highest and fullest expression. As I regard these divine qualities in others, I also develop them more fully within. As I honor and value the strong and wise parent or mentor, I commit to being a blessing and a good example to the children in my own life.

With God are wisdom and strength; he has counsel and understanding. —Job 12:13
