I AM FREE TO RESPOND TO ANY SITUATION WITH GRACE AND EASE.

Life can be like a winding road—filled with sharp turns, unexpected bumps, and steep hills. At times we may anxiously clutch the wheel; at others, we relax and enjoy the ride. Occasionally, we may need to pull off the road and simply catch our breath.

Meditation allows us to catch our breath and relax into our life experience. We become aware of our inner world, acknowledge our experiences, and release them. We let go of worry and stress and come home to the peace and wisdom of Divine Mind, where true freedom lies. We free ourselves to respond to life consciously and react calmly. Centered in God, we accept and appreciate whatever life brings.

You shall know that I am the Lord your God, who has freed you.—Exodus 6:7

MY HEALING IS QUICKENED THROUGH FAITH.

Wholeness is our natural state of being—the pattern of perfection inherent to all life. Healing is the process of bringing that innate wholeness into full expression.

If I am injured, millions of cells collaborate to complete their healing work in my body. Some cells focus on repairing the wound while others fight infection. Divine Life continually seeks to restore wholeness in my body, mind, and spirit.

If I perceive sickness or disease, I look beyond surface appearances and behold the deeper truth of my wholeness. I expect and accept healing for myself and others. My faith in the power of Life quickens the healing process.

For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal.—Jeremiah 30:17

I HOLD A VISION FOR PEACE IN THE WORLD.

God is universal peace, the unconditional love that binds all humanity. Even in seemingly hopeless situations, God is there. God is the way, the hope, and the foundation for unity and oneness of all life.

Faith in God allows us to see goodness revealed even in the midst of conflict or strife. Prayer helps to quicken the harmonizing power of Spirit within all. Wisdom leads us to build community, demonstrate love, and support the rights of all people to live in peace and well-being.

Empowered by God within, we act on the opportunities before us to express and embody God’s peace through our thoughts, words, and actions.

Pursue peace with everyone, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.—Hebrews 12:14

Pray for Others - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 | Daily Word

I AFFIRM GOD’S GOOD, KNOWING ALL IS WELL.

Prayer connects me to the presence and power of God within me and all others. A heartfelt prayer is the first gift I offer a friend or loved one who is facing a challenge or concern.

If I receive news from a dear one in need of prayer, I begin by aligning my heart and mind with God. I awaken to the presence of peace, wholeness, abundance, and strength within. My prayer acknowledges and affirms these same qualities in myself and the one for whom I pray.

I complete my sacred prayer time with gratitude, releasing any attachment to specific results. Divine Presence knows what others need and fulfills those needs in the best way possible. I give thanks for the power of prayer and leave the rest to God.

Beloved, pray for us.–1 Thessalonians 5:25

I RECOGNIZE A WORLD RICH IN OPPORTUNITY.

The Universe is teeming with bountiful gifts and blessings to share with me, and I am worthy of receiving them!

I have no use for unworthiness, guilt, or shame. I release any ideas or practices that serve only to deter my good. I replace negative self-talk with confident self-love and feel my doubts disappear.

When I accept myself fully, realize my divine nature, and believe in my own worth, I stand a little taller. I know I have a place to fill in this world that no one else can fill. I behold a world rich in opportunity.

I give myself permission to receive all the gifts and support the Universe is eager to shower upon me. I expect the best and receive it gratefully.

Lead a life worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.—1 Thessalonians 2:12

Let Go - Monday, May 12, 2014 | Daily Word

I LET GO AND OPEN MY LIFE TO GREATER GOOD.

Letting go can be such an empowering experience! I let go of limited thinking, negative influences and experiences, and unhealthy habits that drain my energy.

As I let go, I open the door to greater good—to new relationships, positive interactions, freedom, and contentment. By letting go, I become willing to receive new blessings.

I place my trust in a power greater than myself and know without a doubt that God is with me and within me, guiding all I do. As I loose and let go of that which no longer serves my highest good, my life flourishes. I embrace my transformation with joy and grow in God!

Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to you.—Revelation 3:20

COMPASSION INSPIRES ME TO LOVE WITHOUT LIMIT.

When someone I know is struggling, my heart is moved to compassion. I may offer help and assurance or simply hold them in prayer. The love of God within inspires me to love others without limits.

By cultivating compassion, I connect with my humanity. I realize that we are all human beings with the same basic needs. The qualities I want for my life, others want as well. Every person wants safety, love, family and friendship, opportunities to thrive, and a sense of well-being.

Compassion encourages me to act with loving-kindness. As I love others more, I grow in awareness of my true nature—I am the love of God in expression.

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted.—Ephesians 4:32
