Protected

IN GOD, I LIVE, MOVE, AND HAVE MY BEING.

I am sheltered by the presence of God within. The more I consciously center myself in the Presence, the more I feel safe and protected.

What is there to fear when I know that wherever I am, God is? What is there to worry about when I know that God is working through me as the Spirit of wisdom, power, and intelligence?

God guides me as I listen with awareness and follow my intuition. Even in the middle of a difficult situation, I trust the wisdom of God to help and protect me. God is my shield in all circumstances. In God, I live, move, and have my being, and I am safe.

The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.—Psalm 18:2

Comfort

I AM NEVER APART FROM GOD’S LOVE AND COMFORT.

We cannot be where God is not. God is in the darkness and the light; at the peak of the highest mountain and in the deepest cave; in the raging storm and the gentle breeze.

I may think I am separate from God—but in Truth, God is here with me. With a thought, a prayer, or the awakening of my heart, I become aware of the loving presence of Spirit. In this very moment, I am comforted as peace washes over me. I am enfolded in divine, unconditional love, safe, and protected.

When I am ready, I will consider what is next; but for now, I rest in the Presence.

If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me fast.—Psalm 139:9-10

Joy

THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN WITHIN IS MY TREASURE AND JOY.

Everyone delights in finding hidden treasure. Whether a child discovers coins buried in a sandbox or an adult stumbles upon a priceless antique in the attic—finding unexpected wealth is joyous! The greatest treasure, however, isn’t hidden at all. It is the kingdom of heaven within. God’s abiding presence brings treasures of love, wholeness, and life.

Joy comes from discovering God as my source of wisdom, strength, and joy. God’s limitless supply meets every need. This is treasure indeed! I need not search for happiness on the outside when the kingdom of heaven is here on the inside.

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.—Matthew 13:44
