THE LIGHT OF GOD SHINES BRIGHTLY ON MY PATH. I AM SAFE AND SECURE.

God is my help in every need. I hold this truth in mind and heart. If I ever feel lost or afraid, I remember that God is a protecting presence and a guiding light on my path.

Just as the beam from a lighthouse guides ships past possible danger, the light of God guides me safely on.

While the light of God may not be visible to the naked eye, it is visible to the spiritual eye. I attune to divine light in prayer. Prayer reveals the choices to make and assures me that I am not alone. I am divinely guided and protected each step of the way.

I proceed with the assurance that God’s light goes before me, ensuring my safe progress.

Let your steadfast love and your faithfulness keep me safe forever.—Psalm 40:11

World Peace

I SET AN EXAMPLE OF PEACE IN OUR WORLD.

With 7 billion people on Earth, I wonder what I as one person can do to make the world more peaceful. The challenge may seem daunting, but I know prayer is powerful. So I pray each day to find more ways to unite, partner and work with others. Despite differing cultures and beliefs, we are one. I pray for all people to see our unity and seek positive solutions for all.

I also foster world peace by demonstrating peace in my personal life. I am calm in stressful situations. Taking charge of my thoughts, I relinquish any worry, fear or unforgiveness, remembering that with God all things are possible. I contribute to a better world as I choose to be a living example of peace.

Peace, peace, to the far and the near, says the Lord; and I will heal them.—Isaiah 57:19

Let Go, Let God

I HOLD POSITIVE EXPECTATIONS, AND I TRUST GOD.

Some say worry is the most common—although unintentional—form of prayer. It is a habit of focusing on negative possibilities, and it drains one’s energy and blocks effective action. Rather than worry, I choose to focus on positive possibilities and trust God for right outcomes.

Becoming still in prayer, I see beyond any seeming setback to the activity of God within the situation. I know that all those involved are enfolded in God’s love and guided in every way. In the Silence, I release any need for a specific outcome and open to a spiritual solution.

As I transform my thoughts, I am relieved of any worry. I trust God in all things, and I am free mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

You know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you.—John 14:17

Strength

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

Our bodies respond to our thoughts and feelings. If I am feeling depressed or unhappy, my body feels it. If I am feeling stressed and hurried, my body becomes tense and tired. Conversely, my body responds just as readily to positive thoughts.

When I affirm with conviction, I am filled with the life, strength and energy of God, I stir up these divine qualities within me. The life and intelligence in my body respond, and I feel an upsurge of energy throughout my being. The healing life of God flows through me and I call it forth through my thoughts and affirmative prayers. As I do, my body as well as my mind and emotions are strengthened and uplifted.

He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless.—Isaiah 40:29

Forgive

I FORGIVE, AND I AM FORGIVEN.

One of Jesus’ fundamental teachings was forgiveness. He told his disciples: “Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him.” When Peter asked how often it was necessary to forgive, Jesus told him not only seven times, but seventy times seven. In other words, forgive continuously.

Forgiveness opens channels of communication. It frees the heart, eases burdens and fosters growth. Forgiveness opens the way to deeper, more meaningful relationships.

In my daily prayer time, I forgive anyone I believe has wronged me. I forgive myself and acknowledge the power of God within me and the spirit of love in which I am created. I forgive, and I am forgiven.

I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.–Matthew 18:22 (NKJV)
