Right Action

THROUGH RIGHT ACTION, I MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD.

Martin Luther King Jr. lived a life of service. He said, “All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.” His example inspires us to serve and respect one another, creating a better world for all.

Today I commit to be of service. I look for opportunities to help others, to take right action, and to lead by example. I speak words that are uplifting and encouraging and seek ways to build up, rather than tear down.

All acts of service, large or small, help to lift up humankind. I strive for excellence in giving to others from the love of God within me.

So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up.–Galatians 6:9

Divine Order

HERE, WHERE GRACE ABOUNDS, ALL IS IN DIVINE ORDER.

When life seems messy or muddled, hearing the words “all is in divine order” might be frustrating. Yet when clouds block the sun, the sun continues to shine just as brilliantly. Similarly, divine order does not cease when my world seems upside down.

I take a moment to turn my awareness away from the challenge and into the presence and power of God within. I breathe deeply to clear my mind and release any stress. As I continue to breathe in God, unsettling thoughts dissipate and disappear.

I am open and focused in this God-centered moment. Grace abounds and all is indeed in divine order.

Run at once to meet her, and say to her, “Are you all right?” … She answered, “It is all right.”—2 Kings 4:26

Healing

MY BODY IS A SACRED TEMPLE. I AM WHOLE AND WELL.

Good health is fostered by nutritious meals, regular exercise, and a healthy lifestyle. Healthy habits help me live a robust and vibrant life. When I complement these activities with prayer, I am uplifted to an experience of wholeness in mind, body, and spirit.

Prayer is an integral part of my health regimen. My affirmations of wholeness, expressing gratitude and praise, release divine energy. I begin each day giving thanks for my body, for the way it works, and for its continual regeneration and renewal. I call forth my innate wholeness.

I am a spiritual being and my body is a spiritual temple. I honor my body and treat it with love and care.

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you?—1 Corinthians 6:19

Harmony

I CREATE HARMONY BY WHAT I THINK, SAY, AND DO.

My sense of order may be disturbed when an experience is not what I expected. Yet I can use any disappointment or discomfort as an opportunity to practice harmony.

Spirit in me is harmonizing and restorative. I allow it to shift my consciousness as I attune my thoughts to their highest vibrations—the energy of Spirit. The peace of God sweeps over me. Resting in Divine Love, I find peace and order.

Harmony can be brought to any situation when I tap into my innate center of peace. At my core, I find love, harmony, order, and understanding. As I bring these qualities into expression, I emanate peace in the world.

May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in harmony.—Romans 15:5

I AM FREE AND UNLIMITED.

Some habits or beliefs may feel so deeply rooted, we believe they will forever constrict us. We might hear ourselves saying, “That’s just the way I am” or “That’s just the way life is.”

Yet we have the power to free ourselves of any habit or belief. We can embrace our divine power—the power of the Christ within. It is ours at all times. Within us, we have the power to change and be free.

The Christ Spirit is the spirit of freedom itself. Drawing on this power, I break free from whatever binds me. I claim my unlimited and unbound potential.

Attuned to Christ in me, my hope of glory, I pray, make a new choice, and move forward to claim my good.

Do not … consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth.—Isaiah 43:18-19

SPIRIT IS MY GUIDE.

Even the best compass does not point to true north. Similarly, I know that directions and advice from the outside world can never replace true guidance from within.

I follow my internal compass. As I pray and meditate, the path to my highest good becomes clear. Spirit reveals a divine idea, which may inspire my next task or goal. I then move forward with clarity and assurance. My steps are confident, my faith is strong, and my determination, unwavering. Nothing can stop me from achieving my divine purpose.

Spirit is my guide, motivating every action and leading me to my true north—an authentic and fulfilling life.

When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth.—John 16:13

Open and Ready

I WELCOME THE BLESSINGS OF SPIRIT.

As I prepare for a new life adventure, I affirm my readiness: I am open, ready, and willing to experience the blessings of Spirit.

I am open. I am open to the flow of Spirit as I step through the doors of opportunity. My heart and mind are open to divine guidance. I rely on my innate wisdom to discover more about myself, others, and God.

I am ready. My life has prepared me for this present moment. Whatever comes my way, I know I am supported by the strength of Spirit within.

I am willing. I am willing to let the power of God flow through me now. Spirit leads the way, and I willingly follow. I am open, ready, and willing to experience life in a whole new way!

Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit.—Psalm 51:12
