Patience

I HAVE THE TIME TO DO WHAT I NEED TO DO.

At times my patience may be tried. When I have things to do and places to go, and I am delayed, I may become frustrated. But frustration is not my only option.

I can choose instead to slow down and breathe, and to become aware of my impatience. I redirect my thinking to focus on the blessings in this moment. I know that life is much more than my to-do list; every moment is a gift and every person is doing their best.

With love and understanding, I engage with the people and situations of my life in a different way. I am patient and kind. I realize that my good is continually unfolding and that I have the time to do whatever truly needs to be done.

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant.—1 Corinthians 13:4

Protection

THE PRESENCE OF GOD WITHIN PROTECTS ME.

Protection is assured when I meditate on the presence and power of God within and remember I am one with it. Fear, disaster or adversity cannot stand in God’s presence. I am protected from anything that would seem to threaten my welfare and well-being.

Holding a consciousness of protection, I feel the peace and love of God with me wherever I go, protecting me from that which is inharmonious or unloving.

Conscious of the Presence in me, I live in a world of truth and love. Nothing can disturb the peace I feel. No danger can overtake me. My world is filled with the presence of God, and I am safe and protected.

How precious is your steadfast love, O God! All people may take refuge in the shadow of your wings.—Psalm 36:7

Unwavering

FOCUSED ON GOD WITHIN, I AM CLEAR AND UNWAVERING.

The word concentrated indicates that which is undiluted. In this moment, I am one with the concentrated energy of Spirit flowing through me at full strength.

I do not let anything within me or outside me hinder the full expression of Holy Spirit that permeates my life and soul. God’s undiluted love expresses through me like a clear stream of love, washing away any error thought or negativity that could affect my life and relationships.

As I focus my attention on God, I accelerate my inherent ability to fulfill my divine potential. One with pure, unadulterated Divine Mind, I am clear and unwavering, giving my undivided attention to my heart’s calling.

Strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.—Matthew 6:33

Guidance

IN ALL WAYS AND AT ALL TIMES, GOD IS WITH ME.

When I have a major decision to make, I do not want to limit myself to my past experience or what I have observed in the lives of others. My soul’s potential is beyond what I have experienced or observed. When I yearn for my highest good, I trust in God within to guide me.

I meet God in prayer. Setting aside my own preconceived ideas, I turn within and allow God to reveal the truth to me. I know I have received the guidance I seek when my mind and heart are at peace.

God is the source of my highest good. I trust God to guide and direct my choices. As I open my mind and heart, I receive light, guidance and fulfillment. In all ways and at all times, God is my trusted guide.

If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.—Galatians 5:25

FaithWriters.com-Christian Faith - Faith in The Joy of Jesus: "Does appear that the world is so confused today that it seems that there is no hope for the future? The Joy of Jesus is completely based on the future of another life. In Christ Jesus we have a new life.

Often, I see so many homeless people in the downtown area seeking or begging for money or food. It breaks my heart each time. We pray for them that their needs can be met. The real question is why?

The Joy of Jesus is based upon helping those in need. Jesus feed four thousand people with very little bread and fish. Yet we have so much more and do so little to help. Can we really help the helpless?

The only answer to help these people and any real problem in the world is ones absolute faith in the Joy of Jesus. God gave us Jesus as our Savior. Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the grave, just to return one day and the faithful. This is the Joy of Jesus. Our faith is his joy..."
