Comfort - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 | Daily Word

THROUGH UNDERSTANDING, I AM COMFORTED.

If I am bewildered or distressed by the challenges I face, I turn within in heart and mind for divine understanding. From my human perspective, life may at times appear unjust; but from a divine perspective, every experience has a higher meaning.

Difficult situations are like the trips and falls of childhood—even through occasional tears, I learned and improved. As I look back now, I realize that these challenges were my greatest teachers.

I am comforted and strengthened as my understanding deepens. I stand strong through times of doubt and keep my consciousness open to the larger truth.

My mind and heart are at peace as I trust in the eternal goodness of God and the unfolding wonder of life.

O comfort my people, says your God.—Isaiah 40:1

WITH GRATITUDE, I REMEMBER MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO HAVE SERVED.

In prayer today, I send heartfelt gratitude to veterans who lost their lives in service to this country. I affirm peace and well-being for those still serving and pray that their families sense the all-encompassing love and comfort of Spirit.

In Truth, we are one—eternally united in God. Every gesture of faith and deed of courage affects us all. Every demonstration of loyalty, act of service, and expression of kindness imprints itself on the whole of humanity.

I give thanks for all who have served, all who are serving, and all who will serve a greater good in our world. Nothing that is of God—of good—is ever lost, wasted, or forgotten.

We do not live to ourselves, and we do not die to ourselves. If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord.—Romans 14:7-8

Inner Peace - Sunday, May 25, 2014 | Daily Word

IN THIS MOMENT, THERE IS ONLY GOD, ONLY PEACE.

Peace alone is real. As I meditate on this affirmation, I shift my vision from the external world and enter into conscious oneness with God. Abiding in the Presence, I remember that no persons, challenges, or situations can disturb my peace-filled soul.

As a center of peace, I am able to meet the pressures and tensions of the outer world with grace and ease. Even in tumultuous circumstances, I turn to the Christ within and maintain my calm.

In this moment, there is only God, only peace. No matter what events take place in the world or in my life, I am a steady center of spiritual strength for all those whose lives meet mine.

Those of steadfast mind you keep in peace—in peace because they trust in you.—Isaiah 26:3

Faith

MY FAITH IS STRONG AND ACTIVE.

My faith is a vital, vibrant part of my spiritual life. Through faith, I know that I am whole and well, no matter the situation. Through faith, I recognize my life overflowing with God’s good and blessed with prosperity.

Faith implies action to boldly step forward, move on, or stand strong, regardless of the challenge. If my faith wavers, I turn within in prayer. A brief reconnection with God brings me the assurance I need to continue on.

I energize my faith through prayer and meditation, staying centered in the Power that is always with me, directing my steps. My faith is steady and strong.

By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.—Hebrews 11:3

Love - Thursday, May 22, 2014 | Daily Word

LOVE IS MY SACRED CONNECTION TO ALL.

Just as the sun has the power to warm the soil and vitalize a seed, Divine Love has the power to transform my life for the good. Each day I journey within to experience the simple gift of Love in me.

As I close my eyes and allow my mind to become still, I slowly follow my breath into my sacred heart center. My attention turns to the presence of Divine Love. In this presence, I am grounded, calm, and at peace. I am at one with the Divine.

Restored by time in the Silence, I return to my daily activities. I am filled with peace and love, which I express through loving-kindness. Love is how I express my sacred connection with others. I am in harmony with all who cross my path today.

As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love.—John 15:9

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
