Palm Sunday

I AM BLESSED BY GOD’S EVER-PRESENT GOODNESS.

As I move through my day, I celebrate God’s guiding presence in my life. I set an intention to focus on the light of God, for I know that in dark times the right path is illumined for me. God’s love and light fill my heart and mind.

Jesus taught that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, and I claim a Heavenly state of mind. I think only of God’s peace, joy, love and abundant goodness. Feelings of doubt, fear or worry are overcome by the power of divine ideas. Any concerns about a current challenge dissipate as I celebrate God’s ever-present goodness. I put God first, and I am enfolded in God’s love. My life is blessed in countless ways.

They took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.”—John 12:13

Christian Christian Living - Holy Week and What it Means Today


What week of the year has the most spiritual meaning towards addressing the real problems today? There are so many days and weeks of each year, people around the world are so different in terms of what exactly is important and why? We celebrate Super Bowel Week like everything on earth depended on its outcome. Yet, the event itself plays no real meaning to the suffering we witness on our streets each day. Jesus did what no one has ever done for the salvation of humanity.

The week that we deem most relevant today is when Jesus came into Jerusalem on a donkey, and the people worshiped Him as The King.  Jesus healed a man that was blind from birth. Jesus enjoyed drinking wine of a new life with the forgiveness of sin. Jesus also broke the bread and blessed as a symbol of His body that would serve as a sacrifice for our misdeeds. Jesus went to garden a prayed for the sin debt be remove from Him, yet the grace of God through His will, stayed the course of suffering. Jesus sweat His blood because of His devotion to God and His love for you and I.

Holy week is when Jesus was jailed and beaten by a world lost in sin. Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the world. Holy week is a time for one to take a hard look into ones soul with respect for the our relationship with Jesus Christ. The Joy of The Lord is our salvation. Week praise God for this week, because early one Sunday morning God raised Jesus from the grave of death to life. Holy Week is a time to praise God in Christ Jesus.

Grace

I FLOURISH IN THE GRACE OF GOD AND MY LIFE BLOSSOMS.

With its delicate petals arched toward the sun, a lotus plant blossoms into a gorgeous flower though its roots reside in muddy water.

Like the lotus, I may be entrenched in a murky situation but, through the power of grace, I, too, can flourish. In the stillness of Silence, I cultivate serenity. I am rooted in Spirit—the foundation from which all blessings unfold.

Just as the petals of the lotus flower rise above the water, I lift my vision above the horizon of any murky challenge or disquieting change. Centered in my “lotus heart,” I am confident that good will blossom from any challenge.

I lift up my eyes to the hills—from where will my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.—Psalm 121:1-2

Pray for Others

GOD IS IN THE MIDST OF THOSE I LOVE.

When someone dear to me is in need, I can help him or her through prayer. The power of faith and understanding is great. It frees my mind of fear and anxiety about the one for whom I pray. I take my eyes off the problem and focus on the spirit of God within.

No matter how serious the condition or how hopeless my loved one may feel, the spirit of God is within them. I hold my dear one in heart and mind. I see the indwelling life of God as strength, energy and courage.

I send my faith and love to anyone in need, affirming that their spirit will be uplifted. I give thanks, for God is in the midst of all, and all is well.

The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up; and anyone who has committed sins will be forgiven.—James 5:15

Healing

I AM A PERFECT EXPRESSION OF DIVINE WHOLENESS.

Perfection and wholeness are hallmarks of my spiritual nature. When I recognize divine life as my true identity, I release error beliefs about my physical health.

In Truth, I am more than my body! I am created from and filled with a divine life force more potent than any imbalance, diagnosis or prognosis.

To support the healing process, I call forth the divine wisdom intrinsic to every cell, system and function of my body. I use powerful affirmative words and positive thoughts to imprint my consciousness with life-sustaining health. I am one with the flawless expression of Divine Life, swiftly restoring me to wholeness now.

Be attentive to my words … For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh.—Proverbs 4:20-22

Birth

TODAY IS A NEW BEGINNING. I AM FILLED WITH HOPE AND PROMISE!

Springtime brings new birth—a beautiful reminder of the activity of God! Whether it is a sprout emerging from the soil, bursting into the light; a bird chipping out of the egg it once called home; or a baby taking its first breath, life is always unfolding. A newborn baby or a seedling for a mighty oak may seem weak and fragile, yet each is filled with immense potential.

Likewise, I am filled with promise and potential, and I let this day be a fresh start. As I release self-limiting thoughts and behaviors, I am reborn. Divine ideas seem to come to me from out of the blue. I am filled with hope as I breathe in the fresh air of this new day and feel fully alive.

In fulfillment of his own purpose he gave us birth by the word of truth, so that we would become a kind of first fruits of his creatures.—James 1:18

Faith

I EXPECT THE BEST.

Sometimes the concept of faith seems too difficult or abstract to comprehend. How can I believe in what I cannot see?

Then I remember all the other unseen forces in my life: I trust I will take the next breath, the sun will rise tomorrow, and a planted seed will grow.

Faith means “to live by.” It means calling forth the power of Life to sustain me through any situation. Faith begins with the belief that Life will bring the best for me. Even though my faith at times may be as small as a mustard seed, Life is on my side, helping me grow and succeed.

My faith is unshakable, for I know a divine and perfect outcome will be revealed.

Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed instantly.—Matthew 15:28
