Caring

I AM GRATEFUL TO WALK THIS PATH WITH YOU.

Today I send this message to someone who loves and supports me: Beloved, I am grateful to walk this sacred path with someone as caring as you. I feel your support through the hard times in my life as you listen with an open heart.

You are a compassionate expression of God. You see me as I truly am—not broken or diminished, but strong at my core. I feel your faith in me when you empathize and laugh with me, when you partner with me in prayer. I feel your caring nature every time you bless me with love and remind me I am not alone.

Your wise and reassuring words are encouraging. Spurred by your caring presence, I know I will not only survive, I will thrive!

Love one another deeply from the heart.—1 Peter 1:22

Divine Order

I BEGIN WITH GOD AND ALL IS IN ORDER.

Counting is the first demonstration of order we learn as children, and when we count, we always begin with one. To align with divine order in my life, I begin with one—One Power, One Presence, One Spirit—God.

I turn my attention to the One Source for healing, abundance, comfort and peace. Immersed in the pure presence of Being, I am inspired to take action.

New ideas are planted in the fertile soil of my imagination. Spirit guides me to cast out what I need to release and tend what I need to nurture. With new clarity, I see what I have learned from past experiences. I trust God to reveal the wisdom of the present moment. Nothing is out of place. Just as when I count, I begin with One and all is in order.

In the beginning was the Word.—John 1:1

Nourished

I AM WELL-NOURISHED, PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY.

My body is sustained by proper nutrition. Healthy food and activities, clean air and water—these energize me physically and keep my mind sharp. A healthy lifestyle helps me confidently manage the changes and challenges in my life.

Yet I am also nourished in ways beyond the physical; I am strengthened and energized by spiritual nourishment. Prayer and meditation keep me attuned to the workings of God in and through me. Inspirational reading and music illumine my mind. I cultivate a loving heart by engaging in life with love, energy and passion.

Well-nourished, physically and spiritually, I view every challenge as an opportunity for growth and greet life with strength and resolve.

One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.—Matthew 4:4

Fearless

I AM FEARLESS, FOR GOD IS ALWAYS WITH ME AND WITHIN ME.

My awareness of God’s presence is the foundation of my faith. It supports and inspires me to live fully, confidently and fearlessly.

As I awaken from a restful night’s sleep, my first thoughts are of gratitude for God’s abiding presence through the night and for the dawning of a new day replete with potential. I welcome the adventure that is my life. I express my ideas and interact with others openly, with self-assurance. I carry out my plans confidently. If I need to redirect, retool or start anew, I face the challenge without fear, for God is with me and within me.

At the close of the day, I give thanks for the presence of God supporting me every step of the way.

It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you … Do not fear.–Deuteronomy 31:8

Timing

MY GOOD IS REVEALED IN DIVINE TIMING.

It is said that timing is everything—in relationships, career, finances and more. So I choose not to struggle with or force circumstances in life. I know the time will be right when I feel a nudge from Spirit within to move in a new direction.

I pay attention to my intuition, knowing that inner wisdom and divine understanding direct me rightly. I have learned what happens when I disregard my inner compass. Acting too soon or too late may result in misunderstandings and lost opportunities.

But not this time! This time I wait patiently for clear direction and follow my inner guidance, knowing I will be guided to the right and perfect action at the right and perfect time.

See, now is the acceptable time; see, now is the day of salvation!—2 Corinthians 6:2

Practice

I CHERISH MY TIME OF COMMUNION WITH GOD.

At times my prayer and meditation practice may seem stagnant or monotonous. But then I remember that communing with my God-essence is the most important thing I do each day.

The practice of prayer and meditation is a muscle that needs regular exercise. An athlete consistently trains for competition, and in the process achieves endurance, form and strength. In the same way, my strong prayer practice increases my capacity to connect consciously with the essence of All That Is.

I am one with my source of inner peace and inspiration, clarity and assurance. As I tap in to the Divine in prayer, I know my way will be made clear. I am grateful for the practice of communing with my Creator.

Put these things into practice, devote yourself to them, so that all may see your progress.—1 Timothy 4:15

Energy

I AM DIVINE ENERGY EXPRESSING AS VITALITY AND LIFE.

God created me with the physical, mental and spiritual capacity to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. Whether I am active or resting, I am vitally alive. While my body rests, my mind may dream of my next endeavor. When I’m physically active, my mind clears as I focus on the task at hand.

In the Silence of prayer and meditation, I still my body and mind, tapping into the Source of strength and energy within. No thought or distraction interferes with the flow of energy in and through me. I am recharged physically, mentally and spiritually.

At work, at play, and at rest, I channel my energy into activities that bring joy to myself and others. Energized by Spirit within, I live an abundant life.

I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.—John 10:10
