Victorious

GOD IS MY STRENGTH; I AM VICTORIOUS.

Many athletes succeed because, along with consistent practice, they picture themselves performing to the best of their ability. They visualize crossing the finish line, hitting a home run, or scoring the game-winning point.

When I have a weighty task before me, I picture myself completing it successfully. My practice sessions include prayer and meditation as I tap into the unlimited power, strength, and wisdom of God within.

Athletes are victorious because they give it their all. As I reach for my goals, I pursue them with perseverance and optimism. I visualize success, stay attuned to Source, and I am victorious!

Do not fear, for I am with you … I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.—Isaiah 41:10

Flow - Friday, July 11, 2014 | Daily Word

I AM A DIVINE BEING IN THE CONSTANT FLOW OF LIFE.

Divine energy moves in and through all of life. I experience this flow as Life itself through my breath, ideas, creativity, health, and wholeness. Life is an unceasing river of good.

Throughout my day, I am conscious of this stream of divine energy as I focus on every blessing I receive—a friend’s message, a hug, a lesson. I am energized and empowered. I am in the flow.

Conscious of ways I may be blocking the flow of good, I adjust my outlook from concern to confidence. A change in attitude can make the difference between failure and success. Grateful for the energy and power of Life, I am a divine being in the flow.

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.—Revelation 22:1

Comfort

ONE WITH SPIRIT, I AM COMFORTED.

God’s love is the soothing salve that relieves my pain. Any wounds of mind, body, or spirit are healed by the presence of God. Even if I feel grief or suffering, I know I am not alone. I need only turn my attention to the Presence within me.

Whatever happens in my life, God provides what I need—wisdom, strength, and support. I am gently eased through this situation one moment at a time. The presence of God reassures me that I am safe and secure.

God is present in every breath I breathe and every beat of my heart. No thought or experience can ever separate us. One with Spirit, I am comforted at depth.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea.—Psalm 46:1-2

Grace - Wednesday, July 09, 2014 | Daily Word

THE GRACE OF GOD HAS PREPARED FOR ME A WAY OF LIFE THAT IS ALTOGETHER GOOD.

The grace of God is not something that we must earn by making sacrifices or doing penance. It is a free, wholesome, impartial gift from God that none of us can escape. Even the most forsaken soul may cherish the hope of infinite grace.

The grace of God is more than mercy. It is complete forgiveness and full, unbounded love. It offers redemption from unholy thinking and living to every person who will accept it. Through grace, God reveals the true nature of the Divine within each person.

Abiding under divine grace, you are spiritually secure and your steady, unimpeded progress into the kingdom of perfection and all good is assured. The grace of God opens to you the swift, glorious, positive way of Truth.

For by grace have ye been saved … it is the gift of God.—Ephesians 2:8

TRUE ANSWERS ARE REVEALED AS I QUIET MY MIND AND OPEN MY HEART.

Albert Einstein is said to have asserted, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Rather than provide a solution, some thinking may even perpetuate my problems. If I catch myself repeatedly mulling over a problem, I pause. I release the struggle and relax. For every life question in my mind, there is a Divine answer in my heart.

The place from which my problems are solved lies deep within me—where wisdom lives. Resting in my heart, I perceive the presence of wisdom and activate it simply by becoming aware of it. I shift my attention from a busy mind to my knowing heart. All worries dissipate. All struggles cease. In Divine time, the answers come.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.–Luke 12:34

On Time

I GO WITH THE FLOW OF TIME.

I live in an orderly universe where seasons change and new life emerges at the appointed time, where flowers bloom and apples ripen as designed and where I accomplish what is mine to do easily and naturally.

I need only look to nature for assurance that there is “a time for every matter under heaven.” In the summer, leaves do not rush to turn to gold and fruit does not hurry to fall from the tree. Nature is in concert with the rhythm of life.

Pacing myself, I willingly flow with life, and I find peace. I am not rushed. I meet my goals and maintain my health. I stay mindful of what is important to me and seek balance in all endeavors. With gratitude, I am fully present to this moment in time.

For he has appointed a time for every matter, and for every work.–Ecclesiastes 3:17

Thoughts - Sunday, July 06, 2014 | Daily Word

I CHOOSE THOUGHTS THAT PRODUCE GOOD.

Thoughts continuously pass through my mind. I pause for a moment and see them as captions on a screen. I notice those that are kind, loving, and creative. They are the foundation for positive action in my life. Healthy thoughts create healthy habits.

If I am having hopeless or hostile thoughts, I refuse to give them any power. I notice these thoughts, but I know they are not the Truth. I open to God’s healing energy to relieve any fear behind the negative thinking. I affirm: I open my mind to Spirit, and I am illumined by divine ideas.

Life-affirming, Spirit-filled thoughts create positive energy in all my affairs. As I choose loving and creative thoughts, I witness the good that results.

I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray with the mind also.—1 Corinthians 14:15
