I HAVE ABSOLUTE FAITH IN THE LOVE OF GOD WITHIN ME.

The love of God within me is the source of my unwavering faith. No matter what is happening in my life, the love of God enables me to see past appearances to the potential for transformation—within myself, within those around me, and within every situation.

Faith in the power of divine love changes my heart and mind at depth. As I express God’s love, I begin to see something new unfolding. A new pattern is emerging to bless and support me and my loved ones.

As I progress on my spiritual path, I realize nothing is more powerful than the love of God in the human heart. Through my faith in this love, I am whole, prosperous, wise, and at peace.

For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in faithfulness to you.—Psalm 26:3

NOTHING CAN DISTURB THE CALM PEACE OF MY SOUL.

Like the eye of a storm, the center of my being is a place of peace and quiet. I turn to this inner sanctuary any time I need to go apart from the world. In this sacred space, nothing can disturb the calm peace of my soul.

In moments of prayer and meditation, I focus on the light within me. By gently turning within, I can achieve serenity anywhere, at any time.

I am filled with the love of God. I feel the strength, wisdom, and light of God enfold me and prepare me for what’s ahead. I center myself with a simple inhale and exhale, and I rest in the awareness that God and I are one.

God is my assurance that all is well. I am at peace.

Live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.—2 Corinthians 13:11

Welcome - Sunday, August 18, 2013 | Daily Word

I GREET THIS DAY BY PRAYING, “GOOD MORNING, GOD!”

Every day is a miracle of life unfolding. I begin my day and welcome a fresh opportunity to cocreate with the Divine by saying, “Good morning, God!” Through this simple prayer, I establish my relationship with Infinite Creativity and establish an expectancy of good.

As I meet and interact with others throughout the day, I share my enthusiasm for the sacred experience of life with a welcoming smile, an encouraging word, or a helping hand.

If challenges arise, I remember I am not alone—I welcome the guidance and wisdom of God working through me. When I complete a project or am successful in meeting a goal, I praise the gifts and power of the Divine revealed through me.

You make the gateways of the morning and the evening shout for joy.—Psalm 65:8

Healing - Saturday, August 17, 2013 | Daily Word

DIVINE LIFE RENEWS EVERY CELL IN MY BODY.

When I have a bruise, I watch it change color as it heals. When I have the flu, I wait for the fever to break as a sign of healing. Healing may not always be visible as it progresses, but I trust Divine Life in me to restore my health.

Anytime I feel less than whole, less than peaceful, or less than joyful, I open myself to God’s healing power. Healing radiates from the wholeness that is my true nature. Centering my thoughts in the perfect life that I am, the perfect peace that I am, and the perfect joy that I am, I call this healing forth. I pray, confident of the outcome, relinquishing any doubt over how or when I will heal. What I know for myself, I also know for others. We are healed.

For you who revere my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings.—Malachi 4:2

Prayer - Friday, August 16, 2013 | Daily Word

IN PRAYER, I AM ONE WITH DIVINE MIND.

Prayer is a sacred experience; a time of communing with God; a turning within that aligns me with God’s peace and power. I may pray in solitude or with others in a spiritual gathering. My prayer may be a simple “Thank You” or an elaborate ritual. It may be silent or audible. Regardless of how or where it happens, prayer centers me in the presence of God.

I treasure my prayer time. In prayer, I open my mind, exercise my faith, and consciously unite with Divine Mind. Through prayer, my perspective expands. I see beyond current situations or circumstances to the power of God at work in my life. Prayer changes my mind and heart. It lifts me into an experience of oneness with God.

Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.—Psalm 54:2
