Affirmative Prayer for Clear Intention

Affirmative Prayer for Clear Intention

There is One Mind. It is the Mind of the living Spirit. All wisdom, all knowledge, all insight springs from this One Mind. This One Mind is Life itself. It includes every thing and informs everything. Wisdom, clarity and intelligence are Its very nature. It is this One Mind, this Intelligence that creates Life out of Its loving nature and illuminates the way for the continuous unfolding of Perfect Life.

The One Mind created me and lives in me. It is my mind. All of my thought and all of my experiences are taking place in the pure Intelligence of the One Mind. Its Power is my power.

So, today, I affirm that there is no limit to the power in me to use my mind for good. I am creative through my awareness and attention. I consciously make use of all of the wisdom that is available to me as I move through life with clear intention. I remain steadfast in my Spiritual Practices, those practices that align my mind with the Divine Mind. I open to receive the gift of Clarity and step into the flow of Universal Intention-the intention of the Divine to create through me. My way is clear and filled with the grace.There is nothing that can deter me from living in unity with the loving Presence.

I am grateful as I celebrate this truth.

It is so very clear to me that this Word shall elicit a perfect response form the Creative Medium that manifests all of Life.

Affrimative Prayer for Loving Patience

A Prayer for Loving Patience by Pamela Heck, RScP

Spirit, the Center and Circumference of All That Is, is Infinite Love, Infinite Truth, Infinite Assurance and Infinite Peace. This profound peace permeates all of creation. It is a Center of Calm that moves and has its being in all life.

This peace is my peace now.

No matter what challenges rise up before me, I choose peace. I choose the loving way. Today, I choose to be patient. Recognizing that Spirit is always patient with me, I honor Spirit by being patient with others and myself. Regardless of appearances, I accept the possibility of patience in this and every moment, in this and every situation,in this and every condition, and in me and every person.

With a grateful heart, I give great thanks that Spirit is right where I am assisting me in the fulfillment of this, my heart’s desire… I am loving, peaceful and patient.

Silent Chant for Peace



Silent Chant for Peace

Sometimes when I cannot find the words to pray I practice this silent chant.

First I sit very still and let my eyes gently close. I focus my attention on my heart center and notice my breathing. I begin to gently deepen my breath aiming for a slow, full, rhythmic breath. Then with each inhale and each exhale I just silently say the word “peace” to myself. I let it be rather matter of fact as in “Yes, of course, peace.”
Then periodically I might add a few words such as, “ Peace in my family”  or “Peace on Earth”

Here is an example:

Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace in my heart.

Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace in my mind.

Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace in my body.

Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace in my family.

Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace in my neighborhood.

Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace.
Peace on earth.

Prayer for Our World



Adapted from Ernest Holmes, Prayer for My Country

Believing in the liberty, security, and self-expression for all, I offer this, my prayer for our world:

I believe that Divine Intelligence governs the destiny of our world and her people, directing the thought and the activity of all who guide her affairs. I believe that success, prosperity, and happiness are the gifts of freedom and are the Divine heritage of everyone. In my mind’s eye I see that it is Divine guidance that enlightens the collective mind of the people of planet earth, causing each person to know that economic security may come to all without the loss of either personal freedom or individual self-expression. I believe that no one can be led to accept that freedom must be surrendered in order to insure economic security for all.

I trust that the All-Knowing Mind contains the answer to every problem which confronts our world and that every leader is direct by their Creator – and has access to the knowledge of a complete solution to every problem.  This inner connection guides each one to act upon this knowledge to the end that abundance, security, and peace shall come to all.

My prayer is that spiritual democracy shall endure, guaranteeing to everyone in this country personal liberty, happiness, and self-expression.

Peace In Our Time

There is one creative cause of all life, one powerful flow of peace-commanding Spirit. Infinite Creator, the only Presence and the only Power. God is total peace, heart felt love, absolute calm, breath taking beauty and unending joy.

I have a consciousness of Oneness. All that God is, I am. I live and move and have my being in the flow of wisdom, clarity, wholeness and joy of Spirit. My life is rich with meaning, and I reside in an inner glow of peace and well-being. As I feel complete peace in mind, heart and soul, a feeling of well being fills my world. Peaceful is my way of life. My thoughts, actions and words of peace express my God nature, the truth of who I am. As I focus my inward thoughts of peace in my life, my family, my community, the Universe become more peaceful.

I celebrate the peace in my world, in all creation, in the Universe. This rich, gentle, and endless stream of the peace that is the Divine fills my heart to overflowing, and I am truly grateful.

I release this Truth into the Omnipresent Law of Mind, knowing that it is done according to my word.

A Prayer for Our Sunday Service

 This prayer was sent to me by Practitioner Rupali Robinson

There is only One...one Life, one Power,  and one Presence.  This one is the Source of all that is and that is yet to be.  It is the ebb and flow of every activity, seen and unseen, for it is the creative force in back of all Life...eternal, without beginning or end, ever available, ever giving of its Love, Light and Wisdom.  This one Power (that I name God) is the Power for Good.
Right here, right now- -- where I am, God is.  There can be no path to God for God's essence and presence indwells each of us!  We live and move and have our being in, as, and for this One.
And so it is from this awareness, I speak a blessing for today's celebration.  I accept that the music, the message and the ministries for ourselves, the children and the young adults are fully received...allowing an opening for every heart's desire to made known and strengthened as we share this time together.  I accept that each service invites in a healing for any concerns, a softening of any constrictions in mind or body, and illuminating of solutions sought.  I call us to remember----we are heaven made---for God is an all and all are in God.
With great gratitude and conviction, I surrender this prayer... knowing that as it is spoken, it is done....as it is believed, it becomes....
I rest    I relax     I let go       I let God be God         and     so it is.
Blessings, Rupali

There is only one Life. One infinite invisible Whole. It is the only Reality - invisible yet ever-present, intangible yet eternally intricately our own.

The energy that holds the atoms and cells together is Life Itself, and the atoms too are made of this divine Energy, this divine Love, this divine Light. And the very same is true for each and every person, all made of this amazing dazzling, brilliant invisible divine Light.  It bathes every cell, every atom, every organ and tissue, and it is the atoms, cells, organs and tissues themselves. 

This divine invisible Light is Powerful enough to eliminate anything unlike It. Like turning on a light switch, this divine Light eliminates the darkness. This divine Light is right NOW and always bringing Its healing Power, Its Light and Love to every cell of my body. It is healing me of all unhealthy cells, dissolving them as easily as the sunlight dissolves shadows. I claim and invite into my life and reality a perfect and complete Healing of the highest order. I welcome into my life any shifts that need to happen to allow the divine Light of Spirit into my physical form where it easily and effortlessly dissolves the unhealthy cells; where it easily supports my immune system and overall health as it dissolves all cells that are not part of my original blueprint as a divine human Being. 

This same divine Power directs medicine to the areas where it is needed, and can easily buffer any side effects. Because this is the same Power that holds our planets in orbit and holds our physical expressions in the same form day after day. And if this miraculous loving Presence can express so exquisitely and perfectly as galaxies and solar systems, and keep our planet in orbit and our days and nights in divine order to sustain us, then surely it can express just as beautifully in the cells of my body. It is inevitable that I am Whole, Perfect, and Complete in my true Essence, and I claim and accept that my physical body now reflects that. I claim that Peace fills my being, Healing fills my body, and Faith fills my Heart. All is in divine perfect Order. 

I am so filled with gratitude at knowing this Truth, and so perfectly assured that it is so in the Mind of the One that made us, that there is nothing left needed except to release my Word to the Law that always says YES! and let it unfold. In joyous acceptance of this Good, I let it Be.

And so it is.

When There Are No Words...



When There Are No Words...

Sometimes I cannot find the words to pray, my mind keeps wandering back to the challenge I am facing. Here is one way to pray that helps me.

First I sit still and take a few deep breaths. I place my attention at the center of my chest and let my breathing be free and open.

Next, I consciously turn my thoughts and feelings to something or someone that is lovely to me. I let myself rest in the remembrance of this goodness. I breathe. I slow down. Perhaps I think of something else that is beautiful or someone that has brought me joy. Or I set my gaze upon a tree, a flower or a bird in the yard. I take my time to let this feeling fill me.

Sometimes this is enough, just to remember that love exists.

Other times I go on to feel that I am a part of this loveliness, this beauty this joy. I remember the feeling of unity and oneness. I rest here.

If I am feeling soft and open, I might even let the idea of what is disturbing to me enter my mind. I let the softness of my heart and breath wash over my thoughts about the situation. Just as it is, nothing to fix or explain, I let myself expand to make room for both the feelings of loveliness and the challenging feelings to exist side by side.

I sit still and breath, knowing that this is enough. This subtle shift in my awareness is a powerful prayer.

I encourage you to be gentle with yourself. Be soft and kind. Make room for all of you, all of life.

Blessed Be.

Affirmative Prayer for Right Livelihood



Right Livelihood


There is one organizing Life-Force that propels life into expressing the one true reality. It is the energy of creation and it is always active. It is the eternal presence and Its nature is generosity and connection. All of life is interconnected by this natural pattern of perfection.

I am one with this Life-Force. Its creativity is active in me and it is also present and active in my livelihood.

I accept for myself a beautiful expression of right livelihood. I am drawn to activities that allow me to express my highest and best. I am richly rewarded for all of my efforts. I accept that right livelihood is coming into full manifestation in my life right now and I  align myself with it. I declare that I know all that I need to know and I do all that I need to do to receive this good in my life right now.

I give thanks to the creative power within me and all around me for this realization of how it is already working in my life.

I release my word into the subjective aspect of the Divine that receives its impress and  expresses it fully.

Affirmative Prayer of Faith



Affirmative Prayer of Faith



Something has always been here. It is Wisdom, Love, Light and endlessly Creative. Call it Spirit, God, Universal Intelligence; by whatever name, It is everywhere present, always.  Beyond space and time, this eternal, infinite Spirit is the source of all-that-is.  It is expressing as every life, in countless forms, yet all have their very being, within this One. Many forms, One Life. As the wave rises in expression, yet is One with the ocean, so too every life is One with Spirit and all that Spirit is.  One life, One mind, One heart, which flows in and through every thing, supporting all with Its fullness and Grace. Each life is a beloved expression, of the Love of God.

 This is the Truth of my life and of everyone’s Life. I live, move and have my very being in this Source of all. Spirit’s grace has brought me forth as a beloved expression; here to be the Love of which I am made. I am One, with all that is. Every breath I take is the free gift of Life, moving through me. I am a vital part of the One, loved and supported as Its beloved expression of life, as surely as I breathe.

 As I go about daily experiences and challenges, I embrace this Truth. I accept the love, support and wisdom of Spirit which guides me, in this adventure of my life. I remember that I can draw upon the limitless Source of all, in whatever circumstances are happening, in my life and in our world. I rest in faith, knowing that there is a bigger picture happening than what I see. I am a wave and draw upon the loving ocean of Spirit, knowing that support and grace are here, always. In faith I stand, accepting that even when I can’t see it, that all is well. This faith brings harmony to me and emanates outward, to all those whose lives I touch, for we are one. 

How wonderful to know this Truth! My heart sings with a quiet joy for the many gifts of Spirit.

So I now release my Word into the Soul of Spirit. In faith I just let go, let God and let it be.


And so It is.

Constant Companion


Constant Companion


The One living Spirit, the Almighty God, presides over all of existence with Its wisdom and intelligence. The nature of this Divine One is absolute, unconditional love and It gives of itself freely to all and all alike. It is the constant supply and source of all that is needed. It is the abiding companion to each and every one. It includes every living being and all that is seen and all that is unseen.

It is the unconditional love of the Almighty God that gives rise to my life in every moment. It is within me, all around me, expressing through me. I am Life.

From this understanding of my oneness with that which has created me, I accept for myself, a deeper and fuller alignment with my own inner wisdom. I declare that I am constantly guided by that wisdom within me that clearly knows exactly what to say and do  in every moment. I open myself to be a clear channel for the unconditional love of the one that illuminates my way, my constant companion. I am compassionate and patient with myself and with others as I walk this path of life. I cast my vision forward to dream big, for there is no limit to the good I can experience. Today I choose to walk hand in hand with my own unique inner voice, the voice that calls me forward into the greater good.

I am so grateful for this clear revelation of the truth about me and my life. I celebrate the constant companionship of the Living Spirit. I live in the goodness of unconditional love and for that I give thanks.

I release this word into the law that responds in full measure.

And So It Is

Affirmative Prayer for Freedom of Expression


Freedom of Expression


There is a Presence that is eternal and infinite. It is generous and supportive. It is the light that guides all of creation into its most perfect expression. This Presence is the source of all of life and It is ever renewing itself through its creation. It is the only expression, It is all expression.

And this Presence expresses Itself as me. All that I am and all that I do is taking place within the eternal, infinite presence. Its light shines within me and emanates from me. Life renews Itself through me.

From this understanding of my oneness with the Presence, I accept for myself that I am free to express my unique self. I open and  allow myself to be moved by the guiding light within me. As I am aligned with the all-good nature of this Presence, I trust that all of my expressions are kind and beneficial. I realize I am both unique and necessary. I am an essential aspect of creation and as such my full expression serves the greater good. Realizing this spiritual truth about myself, I open to the freedom that is mine. The freedom to express myself for the good of all. As I release all that could possibly hinder the fullest expression of my highest good, I accept the loving guidance of the Divine One.

I give thanks for this new found realization of my own freedom to express.


I release this Word into the Law that responds fully.

And So It Is

Eternal Life


Someone asked me for a prayer that they could use while sitting with someone who is dying. I have included a place for you to insert the name of the one for whom you are praying. 

Eternal Life

There is one Life. It is the Life of the eternal, living Spirit. It is without beginning and without end. It is forever renewing Itself through all of Its creation. Its nature is peace and love. All of existence is unfolding according to the perfect intelligence of this loving Spirit. There is nothing that is outside of the embrace of the Divine One.

Everyone and everything is included in the divine pattern of perfection that is God. Each one here and all of our loved ones are a perfect emanation of the eternal living Spirit. And this includes me and it includes the one I am praying for today (person’s name).

No matter what the circumstances are, I am remembering by means of this prayer that nothing is ever lost. That love is eternal, life is eternal. So in this time of transition I accept for this (person’s name) complete peace. I accept as they prepare to leave this physical world that they are being guided into a greater expression of Spirit. I declare that all discomfort and distress is hereby relieved and that comfort and ease come naturally to every part of this (person’s name) body. I accept peace of mind and calm emotions.

I accept that the beauty and wonder of (person’s name) is fully know in the mind of God and that they are moving into a time filled with love and peace. I accept that their loved ones are supported in this time and than all needs are met. I extend a word of blessings to all of their caregivers and medical team.

I am remembering by means of this prayer that Spirit is a constant companion to all beings and that none of us are ever alone and this includes (name of person). As I am fully present in this moment to the wonder of life, I declare that so to is the living Spirit fully present here and now and eternally.

I give thanks for this time of remembering the Spiritual Truth about this time of transition for (person’s name)

I release this word of prayer into the receptive aspect of the living Spirit that manifests its highest intention.

And So It Is

Love, Generosity and Joy

Affirmative Prayer for Love, Generosity and Joy

There is one infinite, divine Presence. Its nature is love, generosity and joy. It is the creator of all of life. It is ever-present and all-knowing. It is the only power.

And It loves Its life as me. Its nature is my nature. It is present in everything I do as love, generosity and joy.

From this understanding of my unity with the creator, I accept for myself a life filled with love, generosity and joy. All of my relationships are built upon this foundation and I find happiness at every turn. All of my actions are guided by the love of the living Spirit. All of my transactions are based in generosity and my days and my nights are filled with joy, the natural joy of being alive.

I give thanks for this truth about life.

I let it be.

Affirmative Prayer for Wildlife


Affirmative Prayer for Wildlife by Jennifer Mann

All of life emanates from the one spark of divinity that continuously creates everything. The night sky, the rotation of the seasons, the flora and fauna worldwide, the living oceans and all of humankind is created from the same source. This Creator knows what it creates and loves its creation infinitely.

As I remember that all of life is a miracle, I think right now about the untamed life worldwide that lives in harmony with nature, keeping our planet balanced and healthy. I am aware of the magnificence of wild animals and the glory of sea life as it reveals the awe and wonder of all creation.

As I allow myself to focus on all the miracles of nature, I accept that these ambassadors of God itself are protected and nurtured by conditions and circumstances that are life enhancing and in balance with all of life. I accept harmony and accord with the order and beauty of the universe for these beings.

I swell with the joy of gratitude as I contemplate the magnificence of all existence.

I surrender this prayer to the activity of the law, which manifests heart’s desires into experience for the good of all and the harm of none.

And so it is.

Affirmative Prayer for Water

The One Life flows in and through every living being as Love, Harmony, Vitality and Healing. This is the Eternal steam of Wholeness which creates, restores and maintains all life and the entire universe.

All the waters on our planet are the perfect expression of Divine Life and its renewing, creative healing flow.

As the One is the life of our planet’s water, so our water sustains all life. I claim that the rivers, oceans, streams, lakes and seas are the perfect expression of peace, healing, and natural vitality.  I know that Divine Intelligence restores our water so that everywhere it is cleansed and cleansing and that it flows with unlimited supply forever.

The healing essence of the One Life brings new purity to our entire water supply. Now and always these waters nurture and supply all beings and our magnificent planet with the Divine Essence of Life.  They flow forever with unlimited abundant supply for all.

Gratefully I receive these gifts for our water. I celebrate with thanks for the action of the Law on our water.

I release this Word to One Mind knowing it is done.

A Prayer for Utilities


Here is a prayer for utilities by Wayne Haught

There is one life. It is a life of abundant good, peace, nourishment, vitality, health, and truth. This one life is the life of spirit, the creative energy flowing through all beings, the expansion of good in all experience, and the ancient wisdom alive in every particle of the earth. 

I am in harmony and unity with the one life and the one spirit. I am one with the oneness. I declare on behalf of all life that right where I am there are all the utilities in the universe.

I declare I attract clean, safe, and affordable utilities to my self, my family, and all who walk the earth. These utilities include but are not limited to natural gas, electricity, water, waste removal, and telephone service. I abandon any belief in the depletion of earth’s resources in order for my utility needs to be met. I release any thought that my energy needs contribute to the impoverishment of earth’s people.  

I let go of the idea that there is a lack of affordable, safe, clean, and renewable energy available to all people everywhere. I remember spirit gives freely from an unlimited source and remain open to an experience of utility availability and disbursement greater than what I have ever known. I accept that no one is diminished anywhere by my experience of good.

 I am grateful for this transformation in my heart, my mind, and my spirit.

 I release my thought into the action of the law knowing that it is done and done well. It can only come back to me as a yes, and to this I say And So It Is.
