Prayer for Clarity


 

Recognizing the presence of Spirit everywhere. Spirit is love and peace. Spirit is the all knowing, all powerful, indwelling presence that is always available. Spirit is wisdom and power. Spirit is the creative force behind everything.

I am one with this Spiritual essence. I have within me all of the wisdom, power and love that is available equally to each person reading this prayer. I have within me that creative intelligence and power for good. 

I now align with the wisdom of Spirit. I declare that I can use this wisdom and power within me to make good decisions for my life.  I open to Spirit's wisdom and love to show up in my life to guide and direct me in all decisions. I listen for answers and Spirit expresses them so I can hear them and understand. When I release fear, the answers become clear. When I release anxiety, knowledge and information flows in. I affirm an easy release of anything that doesn't serve me in this time. I allow Spirit to show up in various ways in my life to help me reach clarity. I feel supported and willing to listen to Spirit's guidance in whatever way it shows up.

I am grateful for this time of remembering the truth - that Spirit is always here with me. I am thankful that I can get clarity by listening and letting go.

I release my word now into the law that acts on it right away. I can let it go and rest in the goodness. And so it is. Amen.

Prayer for Healing

 


This moment is the only real one. Everything else is either a memory or a dream. The creator of all life resides in each present moment and is the giver of loving kindness, miracles, magic, and perfection. When I turn my attention toward it, my willingness to have a shift in circumstances opens wide.

I know that my connection to Spirit is firm. My channel to enlightenment and light is so wide that the healing is able to pour forth. There is nothing blocking it.

As I move forward into this journey of healing, all medical specialists are amazed at the progress of the healing and the apparent magic and miracles. My faith is strong and my connection to the divine is wide open. I affirm that miracles have already taken place and uplifts everyone involved. Everything that needs to take place, is realigning perfectly for the greatest and highest good. The rest of the healing happens as needed which brings back vibrant vitality. I know healing is already happening and my faith is made stronger with each day as the progress continues.

Feeling these immense blessings and the sense of gratitude is where I like to rest.

I submit this spiritual mind treatment to the movement and activity of the law which takes the impress and transforms everything for the highest and greatest good. I allow it all to unfold in its divine way.

And so it is. Blessed be.

Simple Spiritual Mind Treatment for Children


Volunteering in the nursery was the first service I embraced at the Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa in the late 1990's. Taking care of babies and toddlers was my joy and their parents or grandparents could have some uninterrupted time to take in the message. At that time, I did not have any grandchildren, and I loved being with those little ones and recognizing Spirit expressing as these curious beings.  Each Sunday, we taught these toddlers a candle lighting ceremony with felt candles and flames. They loved taking turns "lighting" the candles. The teacher spoke these words as the children put up the candles one at a time.  God is life, I am life. God is light, I am light. God is joy, I am joy. God is peace, I am peace. God is love, I am love. God is beauty, I am beauty. God is power, I am power. After that, we taught them a short spiritual mind treatment with arm movements that the toddlers enthusiastically joined in doing. Those first two lines have stuck with me and I use them when I need a shortcut to get to the realization step.  Here is that prayer for children with hand/arm movements.

Recognition: God is all there is.  (Open arms wide)

Unification: I am one with God. (Hug yourself)

Realization: I have everything I need. (Hold hands out, palms open facing up)

Thanksgiving: I give thanks. (Place hands at the heart, palms together)

Release: And I let go. (Swing arms up in the air)

Prayer to Connect With the Voice of Spirit Within

 


That voice, the still, small voice of the creator of all life is always available.

In the stillness each of us merges with the Divine and rests in a silent place where the voice is heard.

And so I speak a word on behalf of each person reading this prayer. Right here is the presence of Spirit.  On behalf of each one of us, I take a moment to remind myself of the stillness and I take the time to refocus and reframe all conditions and the din of the world. I settle and rest and remain open and expectant for a shift in consciousness that allows only good to pour forth no matter what is going on. I hold this sacred stillness close in my heart. On behalf of everyone reading this prayer, I claim that the shift is taking place.  hat a glorious way to remember the still small voice within. How grateful I am for the tools my Science of Mind that awakens me to alternative behavior that soothes, makes me serene, and allows the good to pour forth.

And now I release this prayer into the law that manifest it as experience. And I allow it to be done. And so it is. Blessed be.

Prayer for a Redwood Tree


 Recognizing the power of Spirit is the creator of all things. Spirit is everlasting love and deep peace. Spirit is all encompassing, all knowing, all wise and always present and available. Spirit’s life is seen in every part of nature, in all the people that walk on this planet, and all the stars, the moon and the sun. Spirit creates flowers from seeds, and trees from tiny acorns. Spirit is in the rushing waters and the power of the ocean.

I know that I have within me a wellspring of Spirit’s love and peace. I know within me, Spirit’s wisdom and power for good are present and available to me all of the time. It is that creative expression within me that is closer than my breath and it always creating more good in my life. I know this is true for all sentient beings on this planet as well as every rock, tree, and flowing waters. Spirit is everywhere present in all things and right here within me.

So, I speak my word now on behalf of the redwood tree I see outside my window. The brown discolored top of the tree may have the appearance of disease. I declare that this tree is perfect, and it is steady and strong. With a peaceful heart, I affirm only good for this tree regardless of the appearance. I know that this tree is the perfect expression of Spirit, and its beauty and strength are magnificent. I release any judgment or concern, and I do my part to hold this tree with perfect love. I send blessings through this prayer, and realize the rest is up to Spirit.

With great gratitude and thanksgiving, I feel the connection with that tree and the blessings that tree gives to me.

And now I can release this prayer into the law and just let go and let it be. And so it is. Amen.

Affirmative Prayer for the Perfect Employment


In the vast expanse of the universe, there exists a singular organizing power. This is the enduring wisdom and harmony of the Spirit, whose power is boundless and unequivocal. This force is perpetually at work, orchestrating ll aspects of life.

I am inherently unified with this organizing power of the universe. The profound wisdom and harmony of the Spirit are inherently mine, fully accessible, and present within me. I am the living embodiment of the Spirit's abundance, my rightful divine inheritance.

I embrace and accept that I am currently transitioning into the ideal job for me. Any semblance of struggle, scarcity, or obstacle gracefully falls away as I am guided by divine wisdom. With confidence and trust, I walk forward, fully believing in the Spirit’s power to manifest my next steps. I acknowledge that all my needs are fulfilled by the one true source – the living Spirit within me. My life is an expression of Its perfect harmony.

With a heart full of gratitude, I acknowledge and give thanks for the realization of the Spirit's power in my life. This awareness fills me with joy and appreciation.

Confidently, I release these intentions into the Creative Law that actualizes all. I trust in the perfect manifestation of these truths.

And So It Is.

Spiritual Mind Treatment About Releasing Turmoil, and Worry


Recognizing the one power and divine order, in,  through, around, and as this one Life; it is everywhere present, all-knowing, the substance and support, 100% available in every moment, an integral inseparable part of all life.

And so I know the Divine abides in around through and as me. My physical and spiritual self are organized and supported by it. I am an individual expression of it.
From this awareness, I release any worldly experience of lack, separation, confusion, and worry. I abide within the One, Mother-Father God and am at ease resting in the lap of God, trusting and celebrating in the Spiritual Truth of my being.
All is well in the midst of however life is showing up. I release this prayer into the creative power that is always acting on my behalf.
I let go and let God.
And so it is.
