Grace - Monday, June 25, 2012 | Daily Word: "Grace
GOD’S GRACE IS ENOUGH, AT ALL TIMES AND IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES.
There is nothing I need to do to earn grace. It is not made available based on the amount of money in my bank account, my good works or my redeeming qualities; nor is grace withheld based on how well I do on my spiritual path. Grace just is.

Ever-present, unlimited and all-sustaining, grace flows to me and through me in times of trouble and sorrow, as well as joy and celebration. Grace envelops me in hope, renews my faith and guides me toward unlimited prosperity.

I rest in the assurance that God’s grace is enough. I see the events of my life and the desires of my heart unfolding in perfect ways. Grace abounds in me, through me and all around me—now.

My grace is sufficient for you.—2 Corinthians 12:9"

World Peace - Sunday, June 24, 2012 | Daily Word

World Peace

I AM A CHANNEL OF LOVE AND AN INSTRUMENT OF PEACE.

World peace begins with a single prayer in the heart of a single person. Nurtured and shared, this love spreads from person to person, country to country, continent to continent.

When I work toward creating the kind of world I want to live in, I open the way for others to do the same. I may not be able to avoid all conflict, but I can be a calm and loving presence even when there is disagreement.

I am an instrument of peace and a channel through which Divine Love flows. I experience peace in my life, and I envision people throughout the world doing the same. I see us connected in heart and spirit. One by one, we spread peace throughout the world.

May the Lord give strength to his people! May the Lord bless his people with peace! —Psalm 29:11

Energy - Saturday, June 23, 2012 | Daily Word

Energy

HEALING ENERGY MOVES IN AND THROUGH ME. I AM WHOLE.

When faced with a health challenge, I prayerfully remember that God’s healing power moves through me. I avoid investing any energy in worry. I see myself as whole and healthy, and I visualize every cell revitalized with powerful healing energy. I thank each organ, tissue and cell for its work in maintaining health in my body temple.

My thoughts have power, and I focus them on the desired outcome. Dis-ease is dis- empowered by the vision I hold of divine life pulsating in and through me. Just as the light of a candle fills a dark room, focused attention on wholeness allows vibrant healing energy to flow through my body. My mind, body and spirit gratefully respond.

Can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life?—Matthew 6:27

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 - Friday, June 22, 2012 | Daily Word

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 - Thursday, June 21, 2012 | Daily Word

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
