Comfort

I REST IN SPIRIT, AND I AM COMFORTED.

Life is unpredictable, and sometimes, I may feel frustrated or disappointed by unexpected events. I may feel hurt by the words or actions of others, or fearful due to an accident or illness. Yet through it all, I count on the love and comfort of Spirit.

I am empowered by the spirit of God within, giving me courage and wisdom to brave any hardship. I hone in on what is working well in my life, while facing challenges with strength. I know that even the most difficult situations bring blessings.

I rest in the comfort of Spirit, listening for guidance and finding the answers I seek. I am reassured, soothed, and consoled. Peace fills my soul.

For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Do not fear, I will help you.”—Isaiah 41:13

Birth

WITH EACH NEW INSIGHT, I AM BORN ANEW.

Our physical birth is the beginning of our time on Earth, yet it also marks the end of a period of gestation or development. Whether a newborn emerging from its mother’s womb or a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, every being experiences this process of development and birth.

While my physical body was born only once, my spiritual nature continuously seeks fuller expression. With each new insight or revelation, with each new period of growth, I am born anew.

I am a spiritual being. I am the love of God in expression. In times of growth, challenge, or change, Spirit expands in me. My time on Earth may be limited, but my spiritual Self is eternal and ever-renewing.

What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit.—John 3:6

Affirmation

I AFFIRM THE ABSOLUTE GOOD OF GOD.

The words I speak and write carry energy and power, so I choose them with care and clear purpose. When I speak words that express Truth, I set in motion the energy of prayer. My chosen words are sacred. What I send into the world returns to me multiplied.

I boldly declare my good, speaking in life-affirming ways about myself and others. I live an empowered life of confidence and optimism. God is the only power at work within my mind, soul, and body, and this power is invincible.

My affirmations demonstrate my faith in the absolute good of God. I speak with certainty, clarity, and positive expectation.

So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose.—Isaiah 55:11

Consciousness

I SEE THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY.

My life is a reflection of my consciousness. If I am feeling unhappy with my circumstances, I don’t linger in disappointment or discouragement, but rather I rejoice in the discovery that I can change my life by shifting my consciousness. If I don’t like the film that is playing, I can change the reel!

To shift my consciousness, I examine my beliefs. Do I believe I am deserving and loved? Do I believe I am one with God? I discard any unsupportive self-talk and affirm: I deserve all the good God has for me. I am whole, confident, and strong through the power of God within me. I repeat this practice until my consciousness shifts and I see the dawn of a new day.

I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ … may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him.—Ephesians 1:17

Protected

I AM STRONG AND UNAFRAID IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD.

We are indebted to the men and women who protect us from harm—police officers, firefighters, those in military service, and many others. They help ensure our health and safety.

I am also grateful for the divine protection of God. The presence of God within continually guides and protects me. I am never alone. Should a difficulty arise in my life, I draw on divine wisdom and courage to meet the challenge successfully. My faith in God gives me confidence and assurance that all is well.

Aware of God’s presence and power, I am strong and unafraid. I am guided safely through every situation as I trust in the power of God within.

Protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.—John 17:11

Healing

I AM RENEWED BY THE HEALING ACTIVITY OF GOD.

The energy of God continually moves through me and all of life. As I attune myself to this life force, I unleash the mighty healing power of God within me.

I affirm renewed energy, and I focus my thoughts on wholeness and healing. I release any worries I may have about my health and remember I am always in the flow of Divine Life. I welcome wholeness and peace of mind, placing my faith in the healing activity of God.

In a similar way, I choose affirmative thoughts about others. When I pray for my loved ones, I visualize them whole and healthy and I let go of any worry. For all people in all situations, I have faith in the restorative power of the indwelling Spirit.

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