MY BLESSINGS MULTIPLY AS I FOCUS ON THE GOOD IN MY LIFE.

In Genesis, God called all of creation good. Good is everywhere present. We can compare the good in all to the power of electricity. Electricity existed before humans discovered it, just as my good exists before I have manifested it. Good exists whether we perceive it or not. Through awareness, imagination, and faith, we behold the potential for good and bring it forth in our lives.

Like flipping a switch to turn on the lights, I turn my attention to everything good. As I focus on my blessings, they multiply. I turn on the light of Spirit in me and see my good increase.

The greatest gifts of life are mine to claim, and I am open to receive them. As I focus on my good, it continually expands.

God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance.—2 Corinthians 9:8

Harmony

ATTUNED TO SPIRIT, I EXPERIENCE HARMONY.

My body is an expression of the pure substance of Spirit. My mind is the channel through which Spirit’s revitalizing energies flow into my physical being.

I keep my mind in harmony with Truth by dismissing any thoughts of lack or limitation. I nurture a realization of wholeness and well-being in my consciousness. I affirm: I am beautiful, loving, and healthy. I am joyful, peaceful, and whole.

When I attune to Spirit, I become a clear channel for the harmonizing and restoring power of Divine Love. Every cell of my body vibrates with this magnificent force. Spirit’s power flows easily and naturally throughout my being, keeping me in perfect balance.

O Lord, by these things people live, and in all these is the life of my spirit. Oh, restore me to health and make me live!—Isaiah 38:16

DIVINE LOVE EAGERLY WELCOMES ME HOME.

In the parable of the Prodigal Son, Jesus told of a wayward son’s reunion with his father. The son had left home as a restless youth and frivolously spent his inheritance. When he returned to ask forgiveness, his father welcomed him home with great joy and celebration.

Like the young man in the story, I may have turned my attention away from God. But no matter how far I may have strayed, Divine Love always welcomes me home.

Through prayer, I reconnect with the presence of God. I feel the warm, comforting, unconditional love of my Creator. The riches of the kingdom are mine, and I am grateful. I am home, and I am at peace.

Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.—John 14:23

I AM A CREATION OF GOD. MY LIFE IS GOD’S EXPRESSION.

The familiar creation story in Genesis says that God created the first human by breathing life into a lump of clay. As symbolized in that sacred story, I connect with my divine nature through my breath.

Anytime I begin to pray, I take a deep breath and contemplate the power of Life infilling me. As I exhale, I relax into peace. This cycle continues with every breath, as I feel the energy of God moving in and through me. I affirm: I am a creation of God. My life is God in expression.

I give thanks for the divine breath that gives me life, strength, and sustenance, allowing me to be a beautiful expression of God in the world.

The Lord God … breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being.–Genesis 2:7

I AM FREE TO RESPOND TO ANY SITUATION WITH GRACE AND EASE.

Life can be like a winding road—filled with sharp turns, unexpected bumps, and steep hills. At times we may anxiously clutch the wheel; at others, we relax and enjoy the ride. Occasionally, we may need to pull off the road and simply catch our breath.

Meditation allows us to catch our breath and relax into our life experience. We become aware of our inner world, acknowledge our experiences, and release them. We let go of worry and stress and come home to the peace and wisdom of Divine Mind, where true freedom lies. We free ourselves to respond to life consciously and react calmly. Centered in God, we accept and appreciate whatever life brings.

You shall know that I am the Lord your God, who has freed you.—Exodus 6:7

MY HEALING IS QUICKENED THROUGH FAITH.

Wholeness is our natural state of being—the pattern of perfection inherent to all life. Healing is the process of bringing that innate wholeness into full expression.

If I am injured, millions of cells collaborate to complete their healing work in my body. Some cells focus on repairing the wound while others fight infection. Divine Life continually seeks to restore wholeness in my body, mind, and spirit.

If I perceive sickness or disease, I look beyond surface appearances and behold the deeper truth of my wholeness. I expect and accept healing for myself and others. My faith in the power of Life quickens the healing process.

For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal.—Jeremiah 30:17

I HOLD A VISION FOR PEACE IN THE WORLD.

God is universal peace, the unconditional love that binds all humanity. Even in seemingly hopeless situations, God is there. God is the way, the hope, and the foundation for unity and oneness of all life.

Faith in God allows us to see goodness revealed even in the midst of conflict or strife. Prayer helps to quicken the harmonizing power of Spirit within all. Wisdom leads us to build community, demonstrate love, and support the rights of all people to live in peace and well-being.

Empowered by God within, we act on the opportunities before us to express and embody God’s peace through our thoughts, words, and actions.

Pursue peace with everyone, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.—Hebrews 12:14
