Harmony

I AM ONE WITH THE PRESENCE OF GOD.

The word harmony is often used to describe the balance of notes and sounds in music, but harmony also describes a life in balance. I achieve balance more easily when I attune to the presence of God expressing in and through me.

The Divine Presence is stronger and more stable than any discord or conflict. It is a constant, steady force that brings concordance to my thoughts, words, and actions. Through an awareness of God, I experience greater peace and balance. I know that with God, every circumstance encountered and every dream imagined can contribute to harmony and order in my life and the lives of others.

It is good to give thanks to the Lord … to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night, to the music of the lute and the harp, to the melody of the lyre.—Psalm 92:1-3

I LOOK ON THE LIGHTER, BRIGHTER SIDE OF LIFE.

Maintaining a sense of humor helps me navigate life’s challenges. If I am troubled or worried, I treat myself gently and lighten up. I trust the power of Love within to guide me through any situation.

God’s love helps me rise above circumstances. It empowers me to proceed with optimism and courage and relieves any burden I am carrying. I open my heart to Love and feel the lightness of God uplift me.

Divine love is a gentle reminder that I am never alone. It is the eternal presence of hope within me. In God’s love, I remember not to take things too seriously—to look on the lighter, brighter side of life.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.—Psalm 23:6

Pray for Others - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 | Daily Word

WHEN I PRAY FOR OTHERS, LOVE FLOWS.

Flowing water finds its way around obstacles. The tallest mountain cannot block it. The deepest valley cannot contain it. Water persistently moves through the smallest cracks and openings. It evaporates and returns as rain or freezes and expands on land. In time, even jagged rocks are worn smooth by the flow of water.

Similarly, persistent prayer shifts our state and our life experience. I enter the flow of prayer to navigate situations until either they change or I see them differently. I open my heart in prayer to create a sacred space for those I don’t agree with or understand. I pray for others, knowing that in the flow of life, love always finds a way. Through the act of prayer, we are all blessed.

Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.—Matthew 5:44

Highest Good - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 | Daily Word

MY HIGHEST GOOD IS ALWAYS UNFOLDING.

Circumstances change. Plans get interrupted. Life takes unexpected turns. Even so, I remain calm and unshaken as I stand on the solid ground of faith, knowing that my highest good is unfolding.

Beneath every outer change is the unchanging Truth of God—stable, unvarying, consistent. In God, nothing is ever lost. In God, there is enough power and strength to meet any life experience. In God, I know I am not alone. I maintain the courage and will to embrace all that life offers.

As conditions change, I am flexible, moving through times of transformation with ease and grace. I expect the manifestation of my highest good, and I embrace whatever form it may take.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change.—Psalm 46:2
