God’s Light

THE LIGHT AND LOVE OF GOD WARM MY HEART AND BRIGHTEN MY DAYS.

During the short days of winter, we see less of the sun, but it hasn’t disappeared. The earth has moved, but the sun is still shining bright and clear.

At times I may feel as if I am in darkness, disconnected from the light of God. Yet God’s light and love are always available. Even when I struggle, God is here for me.

I need only shift my focus to rediscover God. I close my eyes and imagine the light of God everywhere in and around me. I feel it warming my heart and illumining my mind.

God’s presence relieves me of any burdens. I feel lighter and more energetic in body, mind and spirit. God’s light and love fill my heart and brighten my days.

For you who revere my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings.—Malachi 4:2

World Peace

I COMMIT TO A PATH TO PEACE.

I may be tempted to focus on what is wrong with the world as headlines highlight stories of chaos and conflict. If I dwell on that news, I feel discouraged. Instead, I choose to focus on what is right with the world. I notice the inspiring evidence of goodness and peace being shared.

People all over the world are helping others in distress. Volunteers build houses, grow crops, and provide medical care. Community members stand up for neighbors who have been treated poorly.

I see evidence of Spirit manifesting as good works sprout, grow and enrich our world. I find ways to spread peace and love by sharing my time, skills and resources within my community and beyond.

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.—Proverbs 3:17

Let Go, Let God

AS I LET GO AND LET GOD, I AM IN THE DIVINE FLOW OF LIFE.

Chores, tasks, commitments—I always have plenty to do. At times, I may even let my to-do list manage me, rather than the other way around. So today, I take a different approach: I let go.

I let go of rush, resentment, perfectionism and any feelings of insufficiency. Whatever I choose to do, I focus on it with gratitude, aware of the presence of God in this moment and in this work. I let God direct me through each activity with grace and ease, and I experience the joy of giving.

When I finish, I bless what I have done and move on to my next task. I work in this way throughout the day, letting go and letting God steer me from one activity to the next. I am in the divine flow, and I am grateful.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me.—John 14:1

Monthly Affirmations

Affirmations are positive statements of Truth. By affirming Truth we are lifted out of false thinking into the consciousness of Spirit. Each time we pray positively and faithfully, we are calling forth the divine activity that is always within us.

We focus on these daily prayers and affirmations throughout the month for greater expression of our divine inner light. Giving thanks in advance, we claim each affirmation as true for ourselves and our loved ones, remaining open and receptive to the highest good for all.

Pray for Others

I PRAY AFFIRMING PEACE, WHOLENESS, WISDOM AND PROSPERITY FOR ALL.

When I call Silent Unity for prayer support, I hear the comforting words: “How may we pray with you?” In that sacred moment, the power of prayer is palpable. After the call, my name, and the names of everyone who has requested prayer, are placed in a prayer vigil chapel for 30 days of continuous prayer.

Prayer is unceasing in Silent Unity. I act in spiritual partnership with this global prayer ministry whenever I pray and whenever I include others in myprayers for peace, wholeness, wisdom and prosperity. Any seeming distance in time or space disappears through prayer. We are one. Whether I am praying alone or with others, I affirm the well-being of all expressions of God in the world.

They long for you and pray for you because of the surpassing grace of God.—2 Corinthians 9:14

Faith

EMPOWERED BY FAITH, I CLAIM MY GOOD.

Faith is the power that turns the invisible into the visible. In the game of golf, if a golfer is distracted by self-doubt or preoccupied with future events, his or her shot will likely go astray. A successful golfer pauses before each shot to imagine completing the stroke and seeing the ball land where intended. Each shot is directed by the golfer’s clarity of focus and powered by faith.

I can use this same power to succeed in any situation. I heed my inner wisdom, envision my desired outcome, and proceed with intention. I hold in mind a clear picture of my expectation being met and focus on creating the experience. Empowered by faith, I claim my good.

So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.—Mark 11:24
