Prosperity - Tuesday, May 28, 2013 | Daily Word

Prosperity

I AFFIRM MY DIVINE INHERITANCE AND CLAIM MY GOOD.

Being prosperity-minded means realizing the merit of my spiritual inheritance. I am abundantly blessed with the gifts of Spirit—life, understanding, power, love, imagination, and strength, to name a few. If ever I am concerned about the depth of my spiritual heritage, I tune in to the Silence and let Divine Mind lead me to my good.

I affirm my spiritual birthright and accept my divine legacy of good. I am Divine Life. I am Divine Power. I am Divine Love. These powerful declarations of Truth activate a prosperity consciousness within me, spawning a life of balance, wholeness, and well-being.

We always pray for you, asking that our God will make you worthy of his call and will fulfill by his power every good resolve.—2 Thessalonians 1:11

Tribute - Monday, May 27, 2013 | Daily Word

Tribute

I HONOR THE COURAGE AND SELFLESS SERVICE OF THOSE WHO GAVE TO OUR COUNTRY.

Many nations and cultures set aside a day to pay tribute to those who have sacrificed for the common good. With deep respect, I honor those who have served courageously to preserve our safety and security.

In quiet moments of thankful prayer, I inwardly honor those who have served our nation. I honor them outwardly by allowing their example to inspire my own endeavors.

As I pay homage to the courage and generosity of others who came before me, I also appreciate those qualities in myself and the people I care about. I am grateful for the willingness of people everywhere to give of themselves, creating a better world for all.

If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it.—1 Corinthians 12:26

Wholeness - Sunday, May 26, 2013 | Daily Word

Wholeness

WHOLENESS IS ALWAYS PRESENT.

I am a divine expression of God—whole, strong, resilient, and vitally alive. Made in the image and likeness of God, I have the capacity to heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

When a health challenge arises in me or someone I care about, I visualize wholeness in the midst of the situation and affirm a mighty healing. I know any illness or injury is temporary, while the immanence of God is permanent.

In prayer and meditation, I picture God’s healing energy in every cell and organ. I affirm wholeness. The life of God flows through me and through those I love. In God, we are whole and healed.

The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light.—Matthew 6:22

Flexibility - Saturday, May 25, 2013 | Daily Word

Flexibility

I AM OPEN AND FLEXIBLE IN EVERY SITUATION.

When I watch trees swaying in the breeze, I am reminded of the importance of being flexible. If it were not for flexibility, the trees would break at the first gust of wind.

I, too, must be flexible—in my expectations, my attitudes, and my view of the world. By being flexible, I open myself to new ideas and opportunities. I do not resist growth, progress, or change. Instead, when challenging situations arise, I bend with the winds of change and I am flexible.

As I gain a new appreciation of the world around me and everyone in it, I thrive and grow. With flexibility, I sway in the breezes of life.

You should rather open your hand, willingly lending enough to meet the need, whatever it may be. —Deuteronomy 15:8

Guidance - Friday, May 24, 2013 | Daily Word

Guidance

I AM RECEPTIVE TO INFINITE WISDOM.

Whether I invite a particular change or it seems thrust on me, change is unsettling. “What should I do?” “What can I do?” I may ask. While advice from others may be helpful, it might also lead me to overthink until I am even more confused.

I turn within to shed divine light on the subject. Going deeper than surface appearances, I become receptive to infinite wisdom. I quiet my thinking mind, and in the stillness, I allow my intuition to be awakened. I know the answers are within me, and I wait for them to unfold. With clarity and calm, I summon the courage to act on the divine guidance I receive. I am thankful for a greater good unfolding through me now.

You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me with honor.—Psalm 73:24

Pray for Others - Thursday, May 23, 2013 | Daily Word

Pray for Others

I PRAY FOR OTHERS, KNOWING THEY ARE DIVINELY SUPPORTED.

When people I care about are facing tough circumstances, ill health, or challenging relationships, it may seem overwhelming. With my mind and heart centered on God, I remember that each spiritual being is on an eternal life journey. Difficult circumstances can lead to a deeper awareness of God’s indwelling presence and power.

The presence of God is more powerful than any temporary life condition. God moves in, through, and as every person. With gratitude, I affirm that my family, friends, and coworkers are divinely supported through every challenge. I affirm they are guided by God’s wisdom and enfolded in divine love. For this truth, I am grateful.

I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers.—Ephesians 1:16

Generosity - Wednesday, May 22, 2013 | Daily Word

Generosity

I GIVE LOVINGLY AND GENEROUSLY.

True generosity means giving without expectation of reward. The blessing comes from the act of giving itself. Sharing my time, talent, and treasure with others is a pleasure, and I do it lovingly and generously.

Being kind and friendly, being cheerful, listening with compassion, letting someone know they are not alone—these are the most generous gifts I can share. When giving is backed by wisdom and love, it is a divine blessing.

As I give, I become a channel through which God’s gifts express in the world. The blessings of God are abundant—so I give without reservation, allowing God to express through me in generous and loving ways.

A generous person will be enriched.—Proverbs 11:25
