Love - Sunday, December 16, 2012 | Daily Word

Love

WITH THE POWER OF LOVE, I PRAY FOR OTHERS.

The energy of God is the energy of love. Love becomes an expression of who I am as I give freely to others. I share my time, skills and resources to enrich lives in meaningful ways. I listen with compassion and understanding. I am patient and kind. In these ways and others, I allow God’s love to flow freely through me, and I feel love returned to me increased and multiplied.

I pray with love for others—holding each person in my heart. I pray for their health and well-being, envisioning them whole and vibrantly alive. I pray for their inner peace, knowing the peace of God is theirs. I pray for their prosperity, trusting that every need is met. And I pray for harmony, knowing God’s love guides their way.

Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.—John 13:34

Guidance - Saturday, December 15, 2012 | Daily Word

Guidance

THE LIGHT OF GOD GUIDES MY WAY.

God’s guiding light shines unceasingly. In its glow I see unlimited possibilities where I may have assumed only lack. In the radiance of God’s light, my path is clear.

The light of God helps me see all of my gifts and strengths, enabling me to make right choices for health and well-being. As I open my heart and mind to God’s light, I am assured that I am never alone. I am inspired to co-create with God in powerful ways.

The light of God also guides those I care about through their divine gifts of discernment, wisdom and understanding. I relax in the awareness that the light of God invites and encourages all of us into a fuller experience of Spirit and of life.

With upright heart he tended them, and guided them with skillful hand.–Psalm 78:72

Welcome - Friday, December 14, 2012 | Daily Word

Welcome

I AM BLESSED AS I WELCOME OTHERS.

With kindness, I welcome others into my home, my spiritual community or my place of business during the Christmas season. I am grateful when I feel welcome in someone else’s home, and I want others to experience that same feeling when they visit me. Being welcoming is a way to show people they are valued and appreciated. It is one way I let God’s love express through me. And as I share the love of God, I, too, am blessed.

I welcome God into my life in even greater ways. As I keep my mind and heart attuned to God, I appreciate the guidance, comfort, love and harmony I experience. I seek to be a conduit through which God’s love expresses.

Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.—Romans 15:7

Ask - Thursday, December 13, 2012 | Daily Word

Ask

I AM CREATIVE BY NATURE. I ASK, AND IT IS GIVEN.

In the beginning, “God created the heavens and the earth.” Humans—made in the image and likeness of God—are creative by nature. Our thoughts call forth into being that which we hold in mind.

I am an imaginative being, and as I ask for the desire of my heart, it is given. Every thought has creative power and potential. I ask, focus my attention on God within, know that it is so, and let it go.

Considering it done in the mind of God, I look forward with faith. If I find myself worrying or looking back, I ask a trusted prayer partner to join me in seeing the fulfillment of my desire. I am grateful for God’s creative process and for answered prayer. I ask, and it is given!

Truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.—Matthew 18:19
