Set Free

I AM SET FREE—THERE ARE NO LIMITS.

My past does not predict my future. I am set free from limitations or fears that may have influenced me previously. The past is past—and I let it go.

Acting in the present moment from my Christ nature, I imagine the future I desire. I connect with the Christ within and ask, “What is mine to do? What action am I to take?” Then I listen. The answer may come as a slight whisper or as an intuitive feeling. When I am guided to the next step, I take it.

I am set free from any limitation or fear, because I know that as I live from my Christ nature, I am always safe. I trust in the guidance I receive and step forward into my good.

When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your ailment.” … immediately she stood up straight and began praising God.—Luke 13:12, 13

Unity - Wednesday, October 10, 2012 | Daily Word

Unity

IN GOD’S PERFECT LOVE, I AM ONE WITH ALL.

If I ever feel disconnected from family members, co-workers or my community, I remember that any sense of separation is an illusion. In God’s perfect love, we are one. We are united in Spirit, because we are all created of God.

The love of God enables me to see beyond differences of opinion, belief, political ideology or culture. It opens my eyes to the spiritual unity that is always present. As I express the love of God in my thoughts, words and activities, I am a mighty reinforcer of the underlying unity that connects all people.

In prayer, I contemplate the Truth of our divine unity. Acknowledging the love of God in myself and others, I am aware that we are one.

How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity!—Psalm 133:1

Strong

I AM FILLED WITH THE LIFE, STRENGTH AND ENERGY OF GOD!

My body responds to my thoughts and feelings. If I am down, my body feels it. If I am tense or hurried, my body becomes tense and tired. Conversely, it responds just as readily to positive thinking.

When I affirm with conviction: I am filled with the life, strength and energy of God!—even if I do not feel especially strong at the moment—it will stir up feelings of divine life and strength within me.

My body, mind and spirit respond to positive, life-affirming prayers. I feel an upsurge of energy through my entire being. I am filled with the strength of God.

As a spiritual being, I draw upon divine strength to do all I need to do, to be all I can be, to achieve my heart’s desires. What an inspiring truth!

The joy of the Lord is your strength.—Nehemiah 8:10

Discovery - Monday, October 08, 2012 | Daily Word

Discovery

I DISCOVER GOD IN ALL OF LIFE.

What will this day bring, and what will I bring to this day? I begin each morning stronger and wiser than I was yesterday, and I am eager to learn something new about myself, life and God.

I make a special effort to see my life in new ways. I behold magnificence and grandeur in the simple things—the sunrise, the trees, the sky. I behold divine beauty as I look into the eyes of a loved one.

I may take a new route to work or to a friend’s house, read a new book, or try something I’ve never tried before. I approach my day with a sense of adventure and wonder, energy and excitement. I close my day with gratitude, knowing God is in all of my experiences—yesterday, today and tomorrow.

When you search for me, you will find me; if you seek me with all your heart.—Jeremiah 29:13
