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

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

True North - Wednesday, January 15, 2014 | Daily Word

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

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

IN MY PRAYERS, I BEHOLD DIVINE PERFECTION.

Every thought I hold of health and wholeness is a prayer. I visualize my loved ones healthy, vibrant, and vitally alive. I look beyond appearances and behold their Divine Perfection.

I am confident in the power of Spirit to bring healing, guidance, and new insights to every situation. I affirm the Truth for everyone—that the power of God is within. I trust this power to do its work and see the highest good expressing in the lives of my loved ones.

I hold these empowering thoughts for myself as well. Seeing beyond any appearance of lack, I trust the activity of Spirit to guide me and my dear ones. We express our Divine Perfection. Through the power of God, there is sufficient good in all and for all.

Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.—Matthew 5:48

Perspective

I SEE GOD EVERYWHERE.

Today I view life from a divine perspective, beholding the Divine in all people and circumstances. I know at a deep level that all is well, that we are supported in every way, and that we are forever one with Spirit.

This view of life is not reserved for carefree days when life is peaceful and easy. In any situation, at any time, I can see through chaos and confusion to the truth that all is in divine order, and all is well.

I am a spiritual being having a human experience. I am one with God. As I view life from this perspective, I see how God reveals itself in every living thing, and I am inspired to express the Divine in my every thought, word, and action.

Blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.—Matthew 13:16

Inner Peace

MY LIFE REFLECTS GOD’S PEACE WITHIN.

At the center of my being is a place that nothing and no one can disturb—a place of perfect peace, a consciousness of Oneness beyond words, thoughts, or feelings. I rest my attention gently on my heart center and attune to the love, light, and wisdom of God.

Centered within, I experience boundless peace. I am infused with tranquility inside and out. As I grant myself this time of silence, it recharges me mentally, physically, and spiritually.

I relax completely and release any seeming need to try to fix myself or others—I am all I need to be. Balanced and at peace, I experience harmony in and through my life.

Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his faithful, to those who turn to him in their hearts.—Psalm 85:8

I AM OPEN AND AVAILABLE TO RECEIVE MY GOOD.

An accident, a distressing diagnosis, a job loss—these are situations many of us would deem unfortunate or even disastrous. Yet if we stay open and available to a good outcome, we find great blessings ready and waiting for us to receive.

Today I am willing to see new possibilities unfold from any seeming difficulty. In acceptance of my humanity, I allow myself to grieve any loss as I clear inner space to receive my good. I am restored as I open to God’s abundance.

Life invites me to grow, and I am open and available to the manifestation of God’s abundant blessings at all times. As life unfolds, I look for the good in every experience.

Wait, my daughter, until you learn how the matter turns out.—Ruth 3:18

Prosperity - Thursday, January 09, 2014 | Daily Word

I AM ONE WITH THE ABUNDANCE I SEEK.

God is infinite supply. One with God, I am one with the abundance I seek. If my perspective on prosperity is obstructed by fear, doubt, or thoughts of lack, I remind myself that I am not separate from the goodness of God. The path to prosperity is to know that I am one with All That Is.

As I observe my thoughts, I ask: Am I holding thoughts of separation? Lack, limitation, and scarcity have no place in my consciousness. I deny their power over me, let go of any anger or frustration, and open myself to abundant love.

In my awareness of Oneness, God’s good flows through me freely. God is the fulfillment of every need, and I am richly blessed.

Believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.—John 10:38

Forgive - Wednesday, January 08, 2014 | Daily Word

DIVINE LOVE FILLS MY HEART, AND I FORGIVE.

If I cling to hurt and disappointment, I continually relive the past. But if I let God-consciousness grow in me, I am moved to forgive. As Divine Love expands in me, I step out of the shadow of yesterday and into the light of today. Through the love of God, I am free.

Sometimes the person I may find hardest to forgive is myself. I cannot change the past, but I can let go of it and focus on how I think and act now. I find ways to love myself, seek healthy support, and take care of my needs. I let the love of God saturate my consciousness.

Divine Love is more powerful than resentment. Through forgiveness, I experience the peace of letting go.

Forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you.—Colossians 3:13

ABIDING IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD, I AM CLEARLY GUIDED.

A freed prisoner in ancient Rome received a white stone as proof of his right to a new beginning. The white stone symbolized a clean slate. Every new moment is an opportunity for me to begin again with a clean slate. Turning within for guidance, I initiate change in my life right now and become the person I want to be.

In my sacred time of prayer, I put aside any hesitation or uncertainty. Abiding in the presence of God, I ask for clear and unmistakable guidance. I listen in the Silence and trust the answers I receive.

I am grateful for the beginning of each new year and the opportunity for a clean slate upon which to design my life.

I will give a white stone, and on the white stone is written a new name that no one knows except the one who receives it.—Revelation 2:17

MY LIFE IS A GLORIOUS NEW SONG.

Poet and philosopher Mark Nepo writes about human beings: “Of all the things that exist, we breathe and wake and turn it into song.”

I breathe deeply and feel the vibrant energy of this radiant new day. As I behold the myriad gifts in each now moment, I am aware of Infinite Life filling and enfolding me. Deep gratitude wells up within me for the precious gift of life. I wake to my abundant blessings and embrace even those I may have dismissed in the past.

Turning life into a wondrous song, I compose with every gift of God. My song gives voice to the sacredness of my being. As it resounds, it sends a vibration of peace, joy, and love throughout the world.

O sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.—Psalm 96:1

I SURRENDER TO ONENESS. I AM FREE.

A drop of water will not flow far on its own, but as part of the sea, it can travel the world. I am a drop of water in the ocean of God. I know this truth when I enter the Silence. In that quiet encounter, the walls of my ego dissolve. I no longer feel separate. God breathes me, and I breathe God.

I spend time in the Silence every day, inviting a greater awareness of the One Power and One Presence. I observe thought patterns that may have hindered me from experiencing the all-encompassing Presence in me, around me, and as me.

I surrender to the sweet, luminous love of the One. I am boundless—Oneness is me and I am Oneness. I experience the Infinite, and I am free.

You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.—John 8:32

EVERY CHALLENGE REVEALS MY SPIRITUAL POWER.

Discoveries reveal what has always been. Whether an ­archaeologist uncovers buried artifacts from ancient cultures or an infant finds her toes, what is discovered was already there, waiting to be found. In challenging times, I may find within me vast stores of spiritual strength, love, and wisdom I didn’t know I had. These qualities have been within me always, simply waiting to be claimed.

When life is calm, I may fail to notice the indwelling power of Spirit. Crises or unexpected events may spur me to discover my divine gifts. In hard times, I discover all that I am and all that I can be. I am more than I thought I was! I give thanks for all of my God-given powers and for all that I have yet to discover.

I will love them and reveal myself to them.—John 14:21

Self-Discipline - Friday, January 03, 2014 | Daily Word

Self-Discipline

I REAP THE BENEFITS OF SELF-DISCIPLINE.

The words disciple and discipline derive from the word for “pupil” or “student.” As a student of life, I learn continuously and apply what I discover to my daily activities.

Just as Jesus’ disciples sought to follow him and learn from his teachings, I, too, seek to learn new ways of being and put them into practice. Conscious of my physical and spiritual well-being, I develop constructive habits and routines that promote transformation and I experience positive results.

Self-discipline is not a hardship; it is the key to growth. As I adopt good habits, I honor and reward myself. Through discipline, I reap the benefits of good health, peace of mind, and abundant living.

For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.—2 Timothy 1:7

Letting Go

AS I LET GO AND TRUST GOD,I AM CALM AND SECURE.

As a child, I may have clutched a favorite blanket or toy for a sense of security. I may have feared that letting it go would change my world. As I grew and matured, I learned to lay down those props, realizing I didn’t need them to live with confidence.

Today I ask myself: Am I attached to something that needs to be released? A belief or habit, person or place? As I remember my resistance to giving up my childhood attachments, I ask: Is there something I need to let go of now?

I release any unhealthy dependence on people, places, or things. I am ready to let them go and allow myself to grow. I open my life to new opportunities. Guided by the spirit of God in me, I am whole, safe, and confident.

Let your steadfast love and your faithfulness keep me safe forever.—Psalm 40:11

I CELEBRATE LIFE!

New beginnings are cause for celebration. Like the rising sun shining bright in the eastern sky, a fresh start is reason to rejoice. As we celebrate, we let go of the past and embrace the present. We discover a new opportunity to awaken to the powerof Spirit within.

Some celebrations are filled with cheers, songs, and shouts of encouragement; while others are quiet, like the blossoming of a flower. I celebrate life as a continuous learning experience, a gift of growth and expansion from a loving God.

I acknowledge and revere life’s varied celebrations. Joyous in the eternal powerand love of God, I celebrate all of life!

I will cause your name to be celebrated in all generations; therefore the peoples will praise you forever and ever.—Psalm 45:17
