Pray for Others - Friday, February 07, 2014 | Daily Word

I PRAY KNOWING WE ARE ONE WITH GOD.

Before healing someone, Jesus asked if they wanted to be healed. When praying for others, I bear in mind that I may not know what is best for them. Each soul has its own divine purpose. Rather than seeking a specific outcome, I pray for their steadfast faith, strength, and inner peace.

When I pray for others, no matter how dire their circumstance may appear, I see beyond appearances and behold the Truth. I affirm they are one with the presence and power of God. I see them enfolded in love. I declare their increasing awareness of the Christ within. I see them filled with spiritual strength and fortitude, and I trust in the unfoldment of their highest good.

I pray that … he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit.—Ephesians 3:16

Loyalty - Thursday, February 06, 2014 | Daily Word

I AM DEDICATED TO EXPRESSING SPIRIT IN AND THROUGH MY LIFE.

Throughout our lives we may dedicate ourselves to various groups and organizations. We may support schools and social clubs, sports teams or political parties. As our involvement with these groups changes, the intensity of our loyalty may fade.

In contrast, my loyalty and dedication to God surpasses any human association. The spirit of God is ever-­present. Spirit is my own true nature, closer than hands and feet.

Every day, I am guided to my highest good. Divine wisdom steers my thoughts, words, and actions. Divine Love supports me, and Divine Life energizes me. I dedicate myself to God by expressing Spirit in my own unique way.

I will sing of loyalty and of justice; to you, O Lord, I will sing.—Psalm 101:1

Inner Peace - Wednesday, February 05, 2014 | Daily Word

I AM AT PEACE IN THIS PRESENT MOMENT.

In our fast-paced lives, finding inner peace requires intention and practice. As I focus on the present moment and all that it holds, I release any hurry or anxiety. I let go of past concerns and future expectations. Centered in this now moment, I discover inner peace.

I may experience peace as a feeling of serenity, a state of harmony, or a deep trust that all is well. Knowing God is with and within me, as close as my very breath, I feel the assuring presence of peace.

My spiritual practices—prayer, meditation, and contemplation—help me maintain a consciousness of peace. In the midst of any rush or confusion, I center on the presence of peace in the present moment, and all is well.

The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts.–Philippians 4:7

Wholeness - Tuesday, February 04, 2014 | Daily Word

I SPEAK EMPOWERING WORDS OF TRUTH.

To support the natural healing process, I affirm my wholeness in mind and body. Acknowledging my oneness with the Divine, I affirm the truth of my innate perfection.

Health is my natural state. I claim the divine qualities of strength, life, and well-being. I affirm complete health by stating: I am an expression of God’s wholeness. I am filled with the revitalizing healing power of Life.

These words of affirmative prayer stir renewal and revitalization in me. As I speak these words, I remember my spiritual identity. I align my thoughts with my true nature and rest in knowing my body and mind have the divine ability to restore themselves to wholeness.

He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from destruction.—Psalm 107:20

Imagination - Monday, February 03, 2014 | Daily Word

THROUGH THE POWER OF IMAGINATION, I CREATE AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE.

An artist uses his or her imagination to turn common materials into something extraordinary. In the same way, I make my life a masterpiece by using the power of my imagination, together with my skills and enthusiasm, to create a marvelous life.

Through my thoughts, words, and actions, I turn divine ideas into form. I receive insight and inspiration from Divine Mind and creatively express the spirit of God in my own unique way.

While society may encourage conformity, I embrace my individuality, applying my unique gifts and perspective to the life I have been given to live. Through the power of imagination, I express the One in me.

Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one object for special use and another for ordinary use?—Romans 9:21
