Discernment - Saturday, October 27, 2012 | Daily Word

Discernment

THE LIGHT OF GOD IS GUIDING ME NOW!

When I face a difficult decision, I remember that God, as infinite wisdom, is part of the fabric of my being, guiding me as I discern what is right to do. God’s light illumines my clarity of thought and evokes a deep inner knowing.

I maintain healthy boundaries as I follow the light of God. Connecting with the wisdom of God in meditation, I become clear on what is mine to do and what is someone else’s responsibility.

If I ever feel uncertain about a decision, I take the time I need to pray and connect with the wisdom of God within me. When I am ready to act, I feel confident in my choice.

Those who are wise understand these things; those who are discerning know them. For the ways of the Lord are right, and the upright walk in them.—Hosea 14:9

Pray for Children - Friday, October 26, 2012 | Daily Word

Pray for Children

I PRAY FOR CHILDREN, GIVING THANKS FOR GOD’S HEALING POWER.

As I watch children play, I enjoy their carefree energy and enthusiasm. It’s easy to see their spirit shining. If a child is experiencing a health challenge, it may be sad to see their energy dampened. But the spirit of God within each child is greater than any illness. Rather than keeping sadness and worry in mind when a child is afflicted, I follow Jesus’ example and pray.

Through affirmative prayer, I visualize things rightly. No disease or disorder has any power over a child of God. In prayer, I see the healing light and love of God flowing through all children. Spirit, mind and body respond readily to the power of the Divine. With gratitude, I see every child as healthy and whole.

Then little children were being brought to him in order that he might lay his hands on them and pray.—Matthew 19:13

Patience - Thursday, October 25, 2012 | Daily Word

Patience

I HAVE THE TIME TO DO WHAT I NEED TO DO.

At times my patience may be tried. When I have things to do and places to go, and I am delayed, I may become frustrated. But frustration is not my only option.

I can choose instead to slow down and breathe, and to become aware of my impatience. I redirect my thinking to focus on the blessings in this moment. I know that life is much more than my to-do list; every moment is a gift and every person is doing their best.

With love and understanding, I engage with the people and situations of my life in a different way. I am patient and kind. I realize that my good is continually unfolding and that I have the time to do whatever truly needs to be done.

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant.—1 Corinthians 13:4

Protection - Wednesday, October 24, 2012 | Daily Word

Protection

THE PRESENCE OF GOD WITHIN PROTECTS ME.

Protection is assured when I meditate on the presence and power of God within and remember I am one with it. Fear, disaster or adversity cannot stand in God’s presence. I am protected from anything that would seem to threaten my welfare and well-being.

Holding a consciousness of protection, I feel the peace and love of God with me wherever I go, protecting me from that which is inharmonious or unloving.

Conscious of the Presence in me, I live in a world of truth and love. Nothing can disturb the peace I feel. No danger can overtake me. My world is filled with the presence of God, and I am safe and protected.

How precious is your steadfast love, O God! All people may take refuge in the shadow of your wings.—Psalm 36:7
