One Mind - Sunday, May 04, 2014 | Daily Word

One Mind

I AM ONE WITH DIVINE MIND.

There is but One Mind. It is indivisible. It is the only authentic power in the Universe. Divine Mind is the presence in which I live, move, and have my being. Yet I may occasionally fall prey to confusion, suffering, or falsely believing that I am operating alone and separate from God.

In reality, I am never apart from God. Spirit is the very substance of my life; the intelligence infusing my every act. Through prayer and meditation, I remember I am one with God, now and always.

I align my mind with Divine Mind and bask in the realization that the seeming two are inextricably one—one love, one joy, one mind, one life.

Make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.—Philippians 2:2

Starting Point - Saturday, May 03, 2014 | Daily Word

SPIRIT IS ACTIVE IN ME TO ACCOMPLISH UNLIMITED GOOD.

Every dream has a point of origin—a moment when we know there is something that is ours to do. Our dreams are sparked by divine ideas. From the start of any new adventure, I draw upon my faith, because I know I am one with Divine Mind. I embrace divine ideas as they come to me, knowing I have the power to bring them to fruition.

Through the power of imagination, I envision my dreams unfolding. I cultivate them in my consciousness and give thanks for their ultimate manifestation.

I use the power of strength to persevere in my goals and use wisdom and will to make the right choices. With a spirit of success, I joyfully embark on new life adventures.

Be glad and rejoice forever in what I am creating.—Isaiah 65:18

Attitude - Friday, May 02, 2014 | Daily Word

Attitude

I MAINTAIN A HOPEFUL AND POSITIVE ATTITUDE.

Today I display one of the greatest powers a person can demonstrate—the power of choice. Circumstances may sometimes appear bleak, but nothing and no one can keep God’s good from me. I choose faith instead of doubt. I choose peace instead of worry. I choose clarity over confusion.

As I maintain a hopeful and positive attitude, I attract all the resources I need to overcome any challenge or reach any goal. Nothing can disturb my peace; nothing can weaken my faith.

When facing difficulties or feeling rushed, I take a moment to put the situation in perspective. I consciously choose a hopeful and positive attitude, which buoys my spirit and lifts my mind above any worry or concern.

Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up.—Ephesians 4:29

Express God - Thursday, May 01, 2014 | Daily Word

I AM A LIVING EXPRESSION OF GOD’S PERFECTION.

Every individual is a living expression of God’s perfection, wholeness, power, creativity, and joy. We have within us the pattern of perfection and the ability to bring it into manifestation.

Today, and every day, I have the opportunity to be God in expression. By fully being who I am, I demonstrate God in my own unique way. I offer love and kindness, peace and acceptance to others. I act with honor and integrity and live a joyous and fulfilling life.

I am made in the image and likeness of God, a living expression of Spirit. I am here to express, as fully as possible, the divine nature of my being.

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God?—1 Corinthians 6:19

Heart-Centered - Wednesday, April 30, 2014 | Daily Word

MY HEART IS THE ABODE OF LOVE.

In a moment of quiet contemplation, I fix my thoughts on my heart center, and very quickly, I feel the love of God. Allowing my attention to rest here for a few moments, I declare silently: I am the abode of Love.

Love is synonymous with God. It is unfailing and unchanging, mine to draw upon at any time. When I allow Love to permeate my entire being, it becomes a powerful force, driving out any doubt, sadness, or fear.

My heart fills with the mighty magnetic force of Love, and I am empowered to do only good, to share only love. My every thought, word, and action express the love of God in me. Aglow with God’s love, my heart becomes a magnet attracting good from every direction.

Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.—Proverbs 4:23

Prayer - Tuesday, April 29, 2014 | Daily Word

Prayer

IN PRAYER, I COMMUNE WITH SPIRIT.

I treasure the act of prayer—communing with Spirit about what is on my heart and mind. I may say a prayer of gratitude for a specific blessing, or seek a change in circumstances. I may pray for clarity about a difficult decision or for the needs of a loved one. As I live in constant communication with Spirit, my life becomes a prayer.

Answered prayer comes to me as an opportunity, a divine idea, a sense of hope, or perhaps a serendipitous connection with another. Whenever I pray, I feel connected, one with God. I believe in and expect answered prayers. I pray for “This or something better,” and I give thanks. As my prayers are answered, my faith grows.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.—1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Faith - Monday, April 28, 2014 | Daily Word

Faith

MY FAITH IS STRONG AND MY LIFE SUCCESSFUL.

Faith is the perceiving power of mind coupled with the power to shape substance. It is knowing that what I seek is already mine in Spirit. Through the power of faith and the energy of God, I cocreate experiences of health, abundance, and joy.

Faith is like the steel used to reinforce and strengthen concrete. Steel provides a strong foundation on which to build a desired structure. Likewise, faith provides a stable foundation for creating the life I want to live.

I allow faith to permeate my mind, filling me with the assurance of God’s good. Day by day, as I live in faith, it grows stronger and my life unfolds with ease and grace.

Who is a rock besides our God? The God who girded me with strength, and made my way safe.—Psalm 18:31-32
