Gratitude Prayer


Divine Presence, Great Spirit, Infinite One, This All knowing One which is everywhere present, even in the darkest night and in the brightest day. It is love, peace, joy and wisdom existing now and forever.

As I acknowledge this one presence, I know that I am a unique and creative expression of this Infinite One. I am the expression of love, peace, joy and wisdom. I know this is true for each one of us, at the center of our being. Each of us has an equal share of love, strength and kindness.

From this place of unity with Spirit, I declare my gratitude for this truth and this deeper understanding of this eternal presence of Spirit. I claim that I put gratitude first in my daily life and acknowledge gratitude throughout the day. I reach into that power of love within me and practice this love with everyone I encounter throughout my days. I sink deeply into gratitude and count my blessings.

I am so grateful for this time of remembering the truth, that Spirit is everywhere present in all life.

I release my word now into the Law which makes it so, knowing it is already in motion.

I let go and let it be. And so it is. Amen.

Prayer for Health

 

There is only one infinite creator of all that is - that spark that has brought all that has existed, now exists, or ever will exist into being. This creator, which I call Spirit, is mind boggling in its infinite creativity - every rock is unique; every snowflake its own beautiful design; every person is unique and individual within the all-ness of creation. Spirit creates everything out of love, joy, peace, harmony, health, and so much more, and passes all these attributes onto all its creations.

Which means that Spirit’s love, joy, peace, harmony, and health lives within me now and
always. I am never without my internal guidance system from Spirit which knows exactly what
to do in any given situation to achieve my highest good. Spirit is pure health, and this pure
health is my birthright simply because I exist.

So I take a moment to remember that the greatest healer is already within me. I willingly open
myself to hearing Spirit’s guidance clearer than ever before, and I easily take the necessary
action to bring about my highest good and radiant health. I declare that anything that I need
to manifest my return to physical wholeness and wellbeing comes to me clearly and easily. I
allow myself to relax and let go as I turn my health over to Spirit, and this allows me to rest
my body, mind, and spirit so that the healing can manifest completely.

I am grateful beyond words to remember the truth of my wholeness and health,

And it is with a lighter heart that I release this prayer into the activity of the Law to make it
manifest in form and action.

And so it is.

I Sleep In Peace


In this very moment I am aware of feeling the Creator’s presence. It is my heartbeat at all times; waking, sleeping, through activity, and through stillness. Spirit Divine, a constant companion, is ongoing love, compassion, and supreme protection. This companion is perpetual, never wavering, and always a blessing.

Through the very act of each breath and every heartbeat, I am aware that my being is a blessed part of Spirit. All that I am, every thought, word, and activity, is my own unique identity of Spirit’s expression as me. All is intact, a beautiful out picturing of Spirit in form, and I am aware of my own divinity and presence in all I think and do.

With an awareness of Spirit’s blanket of protection, Its presence is my very presence, so that I lay myself down to sleep with complete confidence that all is well. I release any lingering thoughts of previous night’s interference as I relax any tension from my body and thoughts, and calm any restlessness from my thinking. Gone are worry and anxiety as I feel Spirit’s shield of protection upon me. The Divine’s hand upon and within me is a gentle reminder that no harm can befall me as I slumber. I realize that Spirit ministers my heart and soul with the precious gift of restful and rejuvenating sleep. I realize, too, that times of transition, new direction, and lovely new paths to explore, enhance and balance my life so that I sleep in peace and arise in the morning filled with the joy of a new day, a new beginning.

My heart is overflowing with gratitude for Spirit’s outpouring of love that saturates my whole being. I am grateful for sweet, sweet natural sleep that I sink into and enjoy fully.

Ever aware of this natural connection, I easily release these words with ease and acceptance. And so it is.

Pray for Love and Comfort



There’s only one Truth and it is the Presence, Power and Love of God. It is here now, fully and completely, generously offering and giving all that It is to the whole of creation. It supports, guides, comforts, inspires and loves all.

In the recognition of this Truth, there is a realization that this is the Truth of me. As this is the absolute Truth of me, this is also the Truth of all of us. We have come to this time and place on purpose. We are made in the image and likeness of God, so what God is, we are light and love, profound peace, a deep wellspring of joy and beauty. This is our true identify, in every moment of this life, it always has been and will always be completely and profoundly available to us.

I speak my word for all beings accepting that we are loved beyond description, bathed in love, it surrounds and enfolds us it is who and what we are. This love is never interrupted or diminished ever, in any way. It is alive in us now. This love connects us to the Divine creator and to all life everywhere. This powerful bond is always present, we are never alone, there is always the principle of ONENESS operating within each one of us. I accept and declare for all being the opening of our mind and heart to receive this truth as a blessing and may it be comforting in this moment and every moment.

I give great thanks for this realization of truth and release this word into the Law, welcoming the demonstration of this experience, and the feeling of it.

And so it is. Amen.

A Prayer during Family Challenges


The power and presence and amazing wonder of life is here right now in this present moment and each moment throughout eternity. The nature of this Presence is love and harmony. Its ways are creative and beautiful, showing itself through flowers and butterflies, rainbows, stars, and the moon, and everything in between.

Just as I am infused with this power and presence, so is the receiver of this prayer. Each one of us is a unique, one of a kind creation. And we are born into families, not necessarily of our choosing.

So I say a word of prayer for these families. And when the family is going through a challenging experience, I claim calm. I affirm that this eternal power and intelligence knows just what to do and is doing it to mend families in disharmony. Even if this looks quite different at the end of this transformation, this divine power and presence is always comforting, bringing light to the situation and shining the way. I declare that through dealing with these family challenges, members develop courage, compassion, and kindness. And this compassion and kindness starts with the self, taking extra good care during stressful times. Each new day presents opportunities and possibilities for resolution of family conflicts. Each new day we can begin again to reframe how our thoughts handle the situation as we weed out negative unhealthy thoughts, and replacing them with self-nurturing ways of thinking. Taking time to be in nature, rest, prayer, meditation, and just being in the stillness are helpful now. And connecting with helpers along the way, we are not alone in the process.

And so with a grateful heart, knowing that all the details are taken care of by the Law to enable families to continue to grow and evolve just the way they do, I declare a peaceful calm during this process regardless of what it looks like and I release this prayer, knowing it’s already done perfectly.

And so it is. Amen
