Abundance, Generosity and Joy

Abundance, Generosity and Joy

There is one abundant Source in this universe. This Great Spirit is filled with unending goodness. It is all-knowing, all-giving, all-providing, all-loving. It is endless possibility, unending peace, and boundless comfort and security. Spirit is abounding abundance!

Knowing this, I know, too, that I am one with this powerful Spirit. I am enveloped in this love, this generosity, this fulfilled and contented joy. Spirit’s amazing freedom is in my heart and I am cloaked in Its infinite abundance in every cell of my being.

I claim this generosity of Spirit, this wondrous abundance of love and freedom as my life. It radiates peacefulness and contentment throughout me. I am free to be me! I am free to choose my schedule, choose my “rhythm”, choose my joys. My heart is filled with giving – giving of love, giving of time, giving of money – to all who need it, and my body is filled with endless energy to give and give and give. While giving, I am content knowing that my every need – and my family's and my pets’ – are being easily met and that we want for nothing. I accept that all is joyously, happily, healthfully well.

 I am humbly grateful for this knowing and all its goodness, and find peace in this gratitude.

I release this prayer with complete understanding, fully aware that it is done. I know that unlimited abundance is what is.

And so it is

Prayer for Shelter for All Immigrants

Prayer for shelter for all immigrants

God is and God is all there is expressing in the midst of every moment, every situation, everywhere as a divine presence of love, wholeness, warmth and protection. God is the essence of peace, the ground of all being which is right now surrounding every being with light and receptivity.

This light shines forth into every moment of experience as the absolute allness which surrounds each being with safety and shelter. As God is ever-present, It must be the essence of every individual and every individual experience.

Claiming this as an unchangeable truth, I accept that the immigrants of the world are received with welcome, invitation, understanding, compassion, appreciation and love.  I accept that each being, no matter where they started their journey or what new land they lay down their burden of fear and loss, finds a perfect place which shelters them, allowing their hearts to be filled with hope, their minds to be filled with thoughts of peace.

I especially turn my prayers of peace and safety to the children that they may open to being known as precious to the world, embraced, fed, clothed and uplifted in every moment.  May each one find their value and worth as our future, constantly expanding with courage, creativity and strength.

I further claim that each person who opens their heart, their doors or their coffers to offer shelter, sustenance and invitation is deeply blessed as an expression of God's love, warmth and healing.

I claim this prayer as the word of Truth which has already begun the process of manifestation into form and experience, roof and floor, water and food, hope and trust.

For this opportunity to speak and witness a better, expanding, wholeness of life for the multitudes we call refugees, I am thankful and feel a lightness within my heart.

 Accepting this as done I release this prayer and claim it as so.

AND SO IT IS...

Generosity of Spirit

Generosity of Spirit

Divine creator, that which animates all of life, You are the One. All of life comes from and returns to this Spirit. Call it God, Love, Holy Light-by what ever name, It is the all in all.

I am an individualized expression of the one as is everyone and everything seen and unseen. Spirit is creating through me, as me, by me, of me.

Spirit gives to all and to all alike. There is no separation in the mind and heart of God, no judgment, no withholding. And so I recognize there is no limit to the generosity of this creative spirit.  Spirit is always giving itself through this experience we call life. The sun rises and freely gives it light to all the world; the air we breathe has no limit. There is nothing I can do that will stop nature from giving itself to me.

And this is the nature of the Divine One. As I open my heart and focus my thoughts on the giving spirit behind life, I recognize the generosity of Spirit and see that I am filled with Light and Love. I am immersed in a beautiful world that is abundant in all ways. Be it money, relationship, right livelihood, peace of mind or any other possible worry, I now return to this thought of abundant generosity and know that all is well. I am a place where Spirit shows up. I recognize that I am also generous of spirit in all my affairs. I have more than enough to give and I open my heart and allow myself to receive.

I breathe and relax. I let these word fill me with the peace and ease that gratitude brings. I graciously give thanks to the One.

And I just let go. I release this word knowing it is done. And so it is.

One Human Family

There is one human family that shares this planet.  Although each human is unique, we share the same divine essence of Spirit.  This brilliant, creative intelligence, many call God, exists everywhere in full measure.  It works in mysterious and beautiful ways to move life toward its greatest expression.  The essence of Spirit is love, and its direction is freedom of expression.  Life is filled with evidence of God’s grace on this planet, from the beauty and power of the seasons, to the spontaneous smile of a baby. 

Just as this brilliant intelligence is everywhere present, it therefore expresses as me and each member of this human family.  Each of us linked together yet sometimes very different in temperament, personality, and life choices.

Thus, this word of prayer is intended to support family life in all of its activities and endeavors.  Taking care of the inner conversation that is stimulated by family members, thoughts can be directed to more gentle ways of viewing ourselves and situations.  Remembering to lean into the flow of spirit as it takes care of all life; there is a sense of calm and well-being that evolves.  And remembering that everyone has this divine wisdom guiding and supporting them and each can live their own life accordingly, I am grateful to relax knowing that all it well.

Glad that family creates bonds of acceptance, forgiveness, and caring, allowing each member to be exactly who they are,

 I release this prayer now to that spiritual activity that has worked out all the details perfectly.  

And so it is. Amen

Affirmative Prayer about Wholeness

An Affirmative Prayer about Wholeness

There is a higher Power; it is the highest Power, the Creator of the Universe. This higher Power is eternal; it’s an infinite Source of energy; a creative energy that flows through all Its creations.  It is intelligence, infinite wisdom, and eternal love. This Power is perfection; this Power is God.  It created all matter, the stars and planets, water, food, and all life on earth.  It is the Father and Mother of all men and women. It is the Spirit of love.

This loving Spirit is omnipresent. Its physical form is the Universe.  It is Nature Itself.  It is my own Self, my body, my mind, my love.  I am the undeniable truth of Its existence and the proclamation of Its omnipresence. My life is the testimony of the Almighty, and this is the Truth!  This Truth reaches everyone; they are part of the one infinite Source of energy. Everyone: their mom, their sister, their dad, and their friends are blessed with It because everyone is part of It. It moves and flows through every one of us.  I realize and know that in our essence we are one with God.  So, I declare that our essence is perfection and our love is eternal.

This perfect Essence flows freely on earth, through every being; woman, and man, old and young, black and white, tall and short. It has no borders and It never will. It flows in the United States of America and every person in America is a perfect manifestation of the Spirit.  The Spirit creates, the Spirit innovates, the Spirit discovers, the Spirit loves.  It manifests Itself as wisdom in people and leaders.  The Spirit is perfect, and it makes no mistakes.  Our awareness of It evolves and improves perpetually.  Its power is love.  And I declare that love is the Power that unifies everyone. Love is the power that forgives. Love is the key that elevates our consciousness and awareness of the truth.

The wisdom and truth of this express in me as joyful appreciation for the life we share with our friends, families, loved ones, and with those we have yet to meet.

So, I release this word to the Law of Mind, and it reaches everyone and everything which is part of the Wholeness we call God.   And so it is.

Harmony and Peace

There is only one Life. It is the wholeness and unity of all being. Its nature is peace and harmony, infinite wisdom, all power and unconditional love. This One is the source of all, the divine Giver of Itself to all. Creation is the perfect reflection of the essential unity and inclusivity of Oneness. There can be no separation or exclusion from the nature of pure Spirit.

We are made of this One which chooses to express Itself uniquely as each of us; each one a divine idea brought into form in order to express the love, peace and harmony that we are. Each person, every thought, idea, activity and situation is included within the perfect wholeness of the One.

From my faith in this truth I speak my word for a greater revelation of peace and harmony in our world. As I embrace a vision of unity and peace in my own heart and live that vision, my life is transformed. My peace and light are revealed to everyone I meet as kindness, generosity of spirit and faith in the essential goodness of all people. This peace cannot be diminished by any conditions of discord or injustice I see around me. These conditions call me to remember my connection to all that is, to every being on this earth—no matter what the appearance.

And so I practice peace. I share my peace with others, free from judgment or expectation. I become the peace I wish to see in the world. I accept that the hearts and minds of all people are ever more receptive and responsive to the harmony, the unity and the peace that dwell at the very center of life.

In gratitude for knowing this powerful truth, I release this word and let it be so.

And so it is.

Reverence and Connection to Mother Earth

There is an indestructible living Presence of Love, the Source and Sustainer of all that is. It is that Power which brings the invisible into form, recreating anew in each moment, always acting on behalf of Creation. It is inclusive of all, the Body, Mind, and Spirit of all being. It flows in, around, and as Life.

I am an inseparable part of this Love and Life. There is no place where I end and the rest of Life begins. As this is true for me this is true for every aspect of Creation—every person, grain of sand, drop of water, and life form. All are connected and are cherished instruments of the One.

Knowing this, I affirm a world where resources are valued, cared for, and shared. I release any belief in lack, limitation, or separation. I recognize the perfect unfolding of Infinite Potential, meeting the needs of all of creation’s shareholders. I accept for all a deeper reverence and connection to Mother Earth—cherishing her beauty, wild places, and creatures. I open to a deeper experience of Love among us, and envision a world where collaboration in preserving and sharing earth’s gifts and beauty is the norm.

At home in God, I am comforted and grateful in knowing this Spiritual Truth. I release this prayer into the heart of the Beloved, where it is already known and done.

And so it is.

A Prayer for Planet Earth

We see a world where resources are valued, cared for, and shared

There is one Source, one Power, that has created and sustains Its one endless creation, the All-In-All, world without end. It is Beauty beyond belief, everlasting Life, one Light of Love.

As a living, breathing, sentient being, I am an extension of the One. I am created, sustained and loved by the One. I am of It, made out of It, one with It and one with all of creation. This is true for all other beings that inhabit this wonderful world, and all others. We are one with our creator, and one with each other.

From this place of oneness, I speak my word for this world, our planet earth. I claim for each being an opening to our earth's wonder and riches and appreciation of the grandeur and beauty that surrounds us in each moment. I claim a recognition within each person of the great honor of being caretakers of this incredible creation, our planet earth. I claim a humbling of hearts as we gently, with loving care, nurture and love our home. We recognize, too, that there are overflowing resources to be shared by all. We are the docents of the breathtaking beauty and wealth of our wonderful world. We love it. We share it.

With an open heart full of joy and gratitude, I give thanks for this knowing.

I release my word into that creative medium that has already responded and is making manifest these words.

And so it is.

Peace, Harmony and Justice

We see a world where there is peace, harmony and justice for all

There is only one Life, one Love, one Heart, one Mind ... only One, and that One is Spirit. It is without beginning, without end, ageless, timeless, It always has been and always will be. Present in Its fullness in all situations, all places and all persons, for there is no place that Spirit is not. It is the field in which all things are possible and in which love pervades.

The life of Spirit is my life, right now. I am one with It, and everything It is I am in every moment. Every attribute of the Divine expresses in, through and as me, for I am one with It, one with all life, one with all that is.

And as this is true of me, it is true of everyone. The life of Spirit moves in, through and expresses as each person. All that Spirit is moves through all of creation for everything and everyone exists within the realm of its divine love. We are one.

I claim and I accept a world in which peace and harmony reign supreme; a world that works for everyone in that laws, customs and conventions are applied fairly and equally to all persons; I accept a world in which all persons live in relaxed harmony, trusting and having faith that all are safe, secure and treated fairly. I claim and accept for all persons the ease that comes from the certain knowledge that all is well, all is fair and all are safe.

I am so grateful for this shift in consciousness. I celebrate it, and I give thanks for it.

And with a grateful heart, I release this prayer into the creative medium—the Law—that has already said yes, and I let it be.

And so it is.

Food and Shelter for All

There is this One Thing. It is that which sources all that is, was, and will be. This divine Essence is abundant in Its nature. It is the heartbeat of love, care, and provision. It is consistently seeking to extend Itself in manifold expressions of Itself. This Source, this Life, only knows and expresses that which is good.

I recognize that I am a unique, individualized expression of this Life. I am that which It is, completely formed of the Substance of God. So too, is all of creation, including the readers of this prayer.

I speak my word of blessing, knowing that it reflects the reality of Divinity: with God all things are possible and there is always more than enough. There is food, shelter and all needed provision for every soul upon this planet. I speak an acceptance and an allowance knowing that what is needed or wanted is present and available for receiving. I accept on behalf of all of my brothers and sisters the knowing of the unique gift of life that they are, the truth of their life, and its impact upon the world. I accept for us all that God is Light and in It is no darkness at all, because the truth is, “It's all good.”

It is in joy and gratitude that I give thanks for this knowing and remembering of truth.

I release this logos into that of God which always responds, never returning any word void. 

And so it is.

Navigating our Election

Navigating our Election

The one infinite Intelligence, Love, is the source and supply of all that is.  It informs and creates life from Itself.  It is the Body, Mind, and Spirit of creation. It is present in the stillness and activity of Life, one hundred percent available in every moment, enfolding all in the one heart we call Mother-Father God. Nothing is outside of Its ocean of infinite love and potential. It is always acting beneath the surface, at the center on behalf of Its creation.

I am made of this infinite Intelligence.  I am a place where God shows up. I live, move, and have my being within the Intelligence of God. I am a part of this God Stuff.  There is no place where I end and the rest of Life begins; I am one with and inseparable from this Allness. The Divine breathes through me and beats my heart.  I am a vessel and instrument of the Beloved, here on purpose, fulfilled by, through and as the Divine.

From this awareness of divine love and wholeness I speak my word of prayer for and about myself and the election. I surrender any thought, idea or belief in lack, limitation, separation, or fear. I am more aware now when I slip into unhelpful, thinking about issues, candidates and other voters, and I am more able to turn inward and affirm the power One. I remember my connection to all, and this allows me to be  grateful for the election process; it moves me into a deeper spiritual practice. I welcome a growing experience of community, our freedom to disagree and examine our values and beliefs. I validate my desire for honesty in this election and open to a greater experience of safety, acceptance, and justice. I elect to notice and trust in the Good that is already present, being called forth throughout communities everywhere. I allow myself to be guided and informed from this awareness of wholeness, within the divine embrace. I then think, speak, act, and vote from that, affirming our common good.

I am grateful for this shift in my consciousness. I rest in this revealed Truth. I surrender and trust all unto the One. I release my Word into the Law of Mind where it is already known and done.

And so it is.

Belonging

There is just One Life, the powerful, loving spiritual Essence behind, in, and around all things. This all-powerful nurturing sustainer of all Life is eternally present, the center of all being. Its nature is love, power, peace, lavish abundance, beauty, and love.

This loving Presence is right here where I am, closer than hands and feet, closer than my very own breath. Its love inhabits every area of my life, loving me beyond measure. This is true for every other being as well. We are one global community, each made up of the same spiritual Essence. We are loved unconditionally and continuously—in ways that may seem ordinary or miraculous, in ways that we understand and do not understand.

I claim now for each of us that we experience this love as a feeling of being met, right where we are, wholly and completely. We are loved with the generosity only the Divine can express. We each matter and are all necessary. All sense that they truly belong to Life. All feel the love of Spirit in both a local and global way. I accept enough physical nourishment in the way of healthy food for each of us, and clean, affordable, and safe housing for all. I embrace a world where every one of us truly understands that we belong and that we are a part of the web of life, which can never be broken: a world that works for every single one.

I give thanks for answered prayer with an overflowing heart of gratitude.

I release my word to a God that knows only good, and only says yes. My word has been heard and is being acted upon, now.

And so it is.

Responding to Life

Responding to Life

There is One Life, magnificently expressing infinitely and eternally as all that is. Life is perfect wholeness, perfect order, and perfect balance. Life is the Power of creative activity; Absolute Intelligence. Within Life is everything necessary for loving self-nourishment and the sustenance for all creation. Life is calling, guiding, and responding to Itself as the always-expanding Intelligence and conscious activity of wholeness, oneness, and love.

I am Life. I am one with the Absolute, powerful creative force of Life. I am integral to the nourishing and sustaining activity of Life. l am of the One Life, seamlessly one with all. My activity, choices, thoughts, and consciousness expand as Love-in-action. As this is true for me, so it is true for each person in our world community.  In each person the essence of the One Spirit is active as consciousness, intelligence, and Love.

I proclaim that this awareness of oneness is now the predominant calling and response among us. I accept the revelation of Truth in every heart: that each one is an instrument through which guidance, wisdom, and the creative urge resounds in support of Life’s activity of good. I claim and accept the goodness of all events and conditions as the resonant calling that awakens us to our awareness of oneness. I turn my focus to the good that is taking place everywhere, all the time. I proclaim that expanding Love is making Itself known in the heart of our world as constructive social action. This social action is the self-nourishment that is the essence of the One Life. I consciously support Life in constructive thought and activity. I bless and trust the loving guidance of Life to urge me and all people in our personal activity of social action.

I feel the excitement of all sentient beings, indeed, of all of Life responding to the call of expanding good through right action. Knowing this is already the perfect idea in the One Mind, I am grateful.

It is in this gratitude I release and I let go knowing the Law makes it so.  

                                                               

And so it is.

Creativity and Appreciation

Susan Robinson, RScP

Love, peace, beauty, joy, creativity: these are but a few of the qualities of Divine Intelligence, the One Mind back of all there is, which is everywhere present. This limitless Divine Source transcends time and space, is the Creator of all, and is ever available in support of the highest and best good of all creation. Spirit is the great weaver, continuously creating the tapestry of Life in perfect harmony with Its nature.

I am an extension and an embodiment of this Divine Intelligence. Love, peace, beauty, joy and creativity are my birthright. I am a thread in the ongoing tapestry of Life, weaving my individual path as part of the whole. I am infused with the creative energy of Spirit in unlimited supply. As I realize this truth for myself I recognize it as true for all of life.

From this understanding, I open to a greater experience of the creative process. I relax into the flow of Infinite possibility. I let go of ideas of personal imperfection and embrace the unique ways Divine creativity flows through me. I allow myself to be informed and inspired by the perfection of nature. The gentle breezes remind me to be flexible and the ebb and flow of the tides remind me to breathe deeply and take in the beauty of this life experience. I affirm greater appreciation of all forms of art, music, and the creative ways others are inspired to express their Divine nature. I claim a renewed interest and emphasis on beauty, nature, creativity and art and affirm that this awakening is occurring in all people everywhere. I declare that, through this renewed interest, we are collectively creating a world that works for everyone, in harmony with all of Life.

I am deeply grateful for this conscious awareness and awakening.

Releasing my word into the infinite Yes, and I live from this truth knowing it is so.

And so it is.

Beauty and Creativity

There is one infinite creative Power, steadfast and sure, the Source of all life: the Spirit of God. It has no beginning and no end; It is eternal, limitless and everywhere present. It flows in, through, and as all things and all beings. It is the Infinite Intelligence that gives rise to all creation, and all creation is made of, from and by this Divine Presence. Within this creative Principle is the ever-expanding, ever-creating Love of Spirit. This Love is the source of all that is—all beauty, nature, creativity, art, and esthetics. This irrepressible force of Love both lifts up and provides the foundation for all being, beauty, and for the natural music of Creation.

I am completely one with the Creative Principle, deeply aware of my connection to Spirit. I am inseparable from the all-inclusive fabric of Its life. Spirit breathes through me in every aspect of my being as It expresses, loves, and creates through me. I am a unique instrument of the Divine, a vessel overflowing with unbounded good and potential. In the same way that I am birthed from this Creative Principle, all beings are also made of It, immersed in Its unlimited nature. There is no place where I, or anyone, ends and God begins.

From this place of unbounded Good and Oneness I claim an ever growing capacity for love, joy, and creativity. I declare an irrevocable partnering with my Good, remembering it is embedded in every fiber of my being, poised, ready and willing to express through me, however life shows up. When I walk in nature, I walk with the intention to enjoy all its beauty. I actually do see the blue of the sea and the pinkness of the flowers. My awareness of creativity reminds me to be present, and helps me to place ever increasing emphasis on beauty, nature, music, and art. I remember that as an expression of the Creative Principle, I am creative, and that there are no degrees of creativity. I begin to practice, experiment, view, and enjoy my life, actually engaging in play, and the wonder of all life.

I give thanks for the Creativity that lives in me and expresses as me.

I release my Word into the Law where it is already known and done.

And so it is.

Meaningful Involvement

There is only One, one intelligent Energy, one compassionate Power, one Essence, one Life. This Life is the Divine Urge of creation and connects all things. It is the essence of love and the joy of possibility. It is the I Am of all that is.

I am of the essence of the One, the I Am. The divine urge of the one Life creates and connects through me and all beings. Divine Life is my life and all life. There are limitless variations and all exist within the One.

I recognize that Divine Life inspires every human being to contribute, to create, and to give, and responds to every act of generosity. I claim for every individual the joy that is experienced in giving, creating, and serving. Every act of compassion and creation is meaningful and satisfying. Every act of service and generosity inspires others to act. The Divine Urge draws each individual to those who can support them in expressing themselves through service. People are drawn by Love into communities that are designed to serve through the expression of individual gifts. Every person has a part in creating and supporting through their service to the world, and to each other, with love and compassion. Truth and beauty are valued and honored as we work together and reveal the truth that heaven is at hand.

I am filled with gratitude in the recognition that God's will is even now revealing Itself on earth as it is in heaven.

With a full and grateful heart, I release this word into the Law of the Divine Will and Action.

And so it is.

Service to the World

 Service to the World

There is one whole, complete Power. Within It, all is in harmony. Its nature is Love. It is the Creative Source that has given rise to all creation.

As an emanation of this One Perfect One, I and all people and all beings share in Its nature—individually and collectively. Right where each of us is, completeness, harmony, and love are available to us and expressing as us.

Within this harmonious complete and perfect Oneness in which we all live, and move, and have our being, whenever there is a question, there is an answer. If there is a need among us, the resources, the means, and the loving desire to fulfill that need are simultaneously present among us. So I welcome the greater revealing and demonstration of this truth: our communities reflect the balance and harmony inherent in Divine Order. Each of us—individually and collectively—has a gift to give, and a gift to receive. I open to a greater awareness for each of us to know what gifts we have to offer, and how we can share them. I rejoice that we can harmoniously work together for the highest good of all among us, both as we joyfully provide service, and as we gratefully receive the service of others.  

I give thanks for the way that all are uplifted as we mutually give and receive our talents and gifts in our communities. I celebrate this demonstration of the revealing of Divine Love and Order among us—in harmony and balance in all that we are and do together in our communities.

And so it is in grateful, joyful expectancy, that I release this Invisible Word to That which makes it so in visible form.

And so it is.

Wisdom

Wisdom 

There is one Power, one Holy Presence; a field of Infinite Love and Intelligence, in and through all things; everywhere present, seen and unseen, expressing as form and vast spaciousness. It is one unifying wholeness that is the source and potency of life Itself; a magnificent harmony of love, light, intelligence, beauty, joy, creativity, and vitality. It is God, Spirit, Life, the Tao, Universal Intelligence, Unconditional Love.  It is that which is beyond one name. 

This Power, this Holy Presence is in and through me, expressing as me. I am one with this infinite presence of unconditional love and intelligence. It is my source and I am its eyes, ears, hands and feet. It is the love in my heart and the wisdom of my soul. It is all that I am. I know this is true of everyone and everything. We are all unique expressions of life, connected through this field of loving intelligence.

In this awareness, I accept for myself and for all of humanity a greater respect and value for spiritual guidance received from this vast field of loving intelligence. I claim a deep knowing that this guidance is sourced in infinite possibility and vision for the highest good and thriving harmony for all creation. I accept a widespread release of limitations based upon past experience, current conditions, fear or lack.  I claim an expanding willingness in every individual to explore and experience their precious, inherent gift to perceive the wisdom of Spirit. I celebrate a global shift where spiritual guidance expressed as intuition, insight, and answered prayer, is honored, valued, and encouraged in all areas of life. I know the world is blessed as more hearts and minds choose to receive and act upon insights and guidance from this Living Intelligence, this most Holy Presence, I call God. 

My heart overflows with gratitude for the way this awareness of infinite love, the wisdom of God, and divine guidance is recognized in us, accepted for what it is, and acted upon.

I joyfully release this prayer to that aspect of God that receives the Word and responds to it. Blessed be. 

And so it is.

Spiritual Guidance

We see a world where spiritual guidance is valued

There is a natural pattern of divine perfection guiding and informing all of Life. It is the wisdom and intelligence of the Living Spirit forever giving Its light to all of creation.

We each are a recipient of the spiritual intelligence that expresses in the perfection of life, of the profound wisdom of the ages. The intelligence and wisdom of the Loving Spirit is our deepest intuition and our guiding light. This guidance comes easily and naturally to all beings everywhere. True intuition is the voice of Spirit within.

I accept that we, as a spiritual community, and I as a spiritual being, step into a greater alignment with this flow of spiritual guidance. I am naturally attracted to all choices that bring me to living in the flow of goodness. I take time to slow down and tune into the wisdom that is available to me from within me and from all around me. I am open and receptive to that which has heart and soul meaning for me and for others around me. I listen well. I respond wholeheartedly. I am guided to perfect right action by the spiritual guidance available to me.

I give thanks for this greater realization of the perfect pattern of Life that guides me to contribute as I value spiritual guidance in all of its forms.

I release this Word into the creative medium that responds fully and completely.

And so it is.

Stillness and Peace

To know in the stillness of the presence of the One.  I am filled with peace and calm

God is all there is. Wondrous and whole, God-Spirit is everywhere. God-Spirit created and sustains all the wonders of the world. All around, ever-present, God breathes life into being for the beauty and good of all. God is the creator and sustainer of still waters, deep green forests and the quiet sweetness of dawn. There is simply no place that God is not. God is the source of all there is.

I am one with God - fully united with the depth and power and beauty of life. I am loving and filled with trust in God and life. As nature puts on her summer dress, I too don my summer gown of natural beauty trusting in the way that life will unfurl. As I sit with Spirit I know I do not need to have all the answers right at this moment. I can trust in the mystery and allow myself to be guided by that part of the Divine residing inside me at all times. I can rest assured that the right thing will happen at the right time.

Life is beautiful. I claim for myself the ‘remembering’ that I find peace in the heart of God. I accept and know that this peace is always present offering the knowledge, wholeness and beauty of life through prayer and affirmation of the one life. I live in the present moment with God by my side, trusting in my well-being and the well-being of my family and friends through this time of transition. I love unconditionally and trust that all will be fine as I travel my own path making my own decisions. I accept that I let go of any attempted control of family members knowing they will find their own way in their own time. I delight in the time we spend together and they all experience a timeless and eternal love.

Joy and acceptance sings in my heart as I give thanks for this shift and knowing. I celebrate this gift.

I surrender my word into the Law that always says YES and know that everything is as it should be. I release it and let go. And so it is.

Amen

Kinship with all Life

We see a world where kinship with all life prospers 

There is One Life, infinitely present everywhere, in and through all existence. It is the Source in which all Creation has its being. It is the mystery that binds and unifies everything. It is stars and planets, brother sun and sister moon, rocks and trees, and all creatures great and small. It is the Power that connects and holds all as one harmonious wholeness. It is love, peace, and ultimate good.

I am part of this oneness of Life. It is my source and my sustenance. In It I live and move and have my being. Its power is the natural essence of all creation. We are all expressions of the One and every part is essential. Every part is beloved and belongs.  We are all part of this kinship.

In the still depths of my heart I realize that this wholeness of Spirit permeates the entire world. I accept that there is a perfect harmony and a dynamic power that supports and guides the eternal unfolding of life in all its magnificent diversity. This interconnected web of life is present everywhere, and love binds and prospers all as one. I claim the realization of the vision of a world that works for everyone where kinship with all life prospers and thrives together. I accept divine guidance for an ever greater knowing and revealing of the great unity of which we are all a part. Spirit is moving through life right now as balance, cooperation, beauty, grace, and reverence for one another and all of God's creation.

Gratitude and joy rise up in me as I hold this greater vision for all life everywhere.

I release this word of prayer into the Divine creative medium, in faith and trust that it is already done in the mind of God.

And so it is.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

There is a Power and Presence in the Universe that is a Force for Good. It is the Unconditional Essence of Pure Awareness, Pure Consciousness, the Ground of Being. Everywhere present, It is the Source and Substance from which all Life arises. It is in and through all things as Its Self. It is all-loving and ever-forgiving, creating all of Life and accepting all of Life back into Itself unconditionally. All that It creates is Good.

It is everywhere and I know that It is in me. It has formulated all the atoms and cells in my body and holds them together in Divine Right Order. All that I am is One with this Ground of Being. Not only is It in all of me but it is in all of the world.

Knowing this, I speak my word for and about this world. I accept deep understanding and forgiveness in the hearts of all people. This understanding allows forgiveness to flow naturally as an accepted norm for all people and in all cultures. I claim the letting go of all resentment, guilt, blame and victimhood. I claim that the hearts and minds of the world's people are washed in the healing balm of forgiveness—self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others. I claim this freedom for humankind now. I claim the establishment of forgiveness as a power that is so well integrated in the hearts of all the people, that it is the norm. I accept this freedom and this Grace now manifest on earth in the people.

In gratitude for this, I surrender this prayer, and the power and intention of it, to the Divine Law for this good and so much more.

And so it is.

Unity and Connection

There is only One Source of all there is: One life, God’s life. God is the Divine, Infinite, indwelling Power and Presence. It is the allness of every thought, deed, action, event, and circumstance. It is the unconditionally loving essence of the universe expressing Itself in and through all of creation—in everything, every one, and every place.

This One is all of my being. I am inseparably one with It. My very existence is an expression of It. Every part of me is the fullness of the nature of God. Life Itself is breathing me into existence in every moment. With every breath I take, I am breathing in the Allness. As this is true for me, this is true for each of us. We are each unified with the One Source and each other as It lives, moves, and has Its being in and through us. We each walk in the Reality that there has always been and forever will be only one thing happening—Love itself.

As we plant this idea of unity and oneness in Mind, it takes form as love, peace, and joy in our feeling of connection to all that is. The recognition that God is expressing as each unique individual transcends all appearances of difference or separation. It is within this expanse of thought that I know for us a deeper awareness of our unity and connection to the human family, to the planet that sustains us, and to all of life. The rivers are my life blood. The earth is my sustenance. My love of the whole human community is stronger than the strongest heartbeat. I know for us a moment of grace through which our most profound and personal prayer for peace and well-being on the planet finds its way into a very real demonstration of peace, unity, and plenty. We are forever and ever expanding in our sense of unity with Love itself. We are never alone. We are empowered beyond all imagination by our connection with and experience of the Divine within ourselves, each other, and everything.

For all of this, I am grateful. I celebrate the radiant expression of God as connection to all that is.

It is with certainty and joyful anticipation that I now release this prayer into the loving activity of Divine Law which is already responding affirmatively. I accept it as done.

And so it is.

We see a world where kinship with all life prospers

There is only One Life, that Life is God's Life, and that Life is perfect. It is all-encompassing, eternal, and expansive, filling all time and space with Its endless variety. It is the thread that connects and runs through all that is, and It is all that is. It is the unconditional love and the organizing power that informs and binds all together in harmonious perfection. It is the source and the substance, creator and created, and the fertile soil in which all that is, grows and prospers.

This One Life is my life now. This is the truth of my being, and the truth of each person reading this prayer. Each is an integral part of the whole -- the one heart, one life -- for all eternity. Each exists as a perfect expression of this one perfect Life, connected to all in eternal unity. Each is known, understood, and accepted as part of the whole, part of the magnificence of this all-knowing, all-loving Life.

I accept, right now, the perfect experiences to affirm each person’s kinship with all that is, and with each other. I welcome the perfect situations, resources, and environments that nurture the awareness of each person's connection with all of life and the willingness to act on this awareness in ways that affirm the Oneness in which all life finds expression. I claim for all an easy release of any misconceptions, any confusion or doubt about the sanctity or value of Life, and an influx of the perfect experiences that affirm the connection of each to the whole. I welcome a resurgence of joy as this truth reveals each one's part in this miraculous and majestic life where all are intertwined, and all are held in perfect love.

I'm grateful for this truth, grateful for the infinite ways this Perfect Life finds expression and prospers in the Oneness, and grateful for the activity of Spirit that manifests uniquely through all.

With a thankful heart I release this prayer, my Word, into the Law, that Doer and Organizing Power that moves this prayer from thought and intention into form and experience. Knowing it is done in the perfect time and way, I let it be.

And so it is.

Forgiveness

There is only one God, one infinite Presence. It is eternal and Omnipresent, all of the time. This divine Presence is the breath and blood of Life. It is all that is known and also the mystery yet to be known. This Presence is the giver and sustainer of all creation. It is the stillness, peace, truth, and acceptance which are at the back of all life, life issues and the ebb and flow of right action.

I am connected to this Presence that infills all life. I am an individualized expression of this divine Peace. Spirit’s circulation of Good, expressed as this profound Peace, flows through me and as me. The clarity and intelligence that is the Divine is present in me and acts through me. Spirit’s nature is my nature. Spirit’s intelligence and peace are expressed in and as my mind and heart.

I claim for myself the joy and ability to express even greater love by allowing forgiveness in my life, and the recognition that doing so creates an opening for more goodness and divine circulation. I accept a knowing of myself for who I really am: the embodiment of the Divine right now. I declare that I do not fix, I do not judge. I love and witness and breathe. I accept for myself that I am flexible and compassionate with the people in my life and those I read about in the news. I am able to be supportive and allow their actions, beliefs, and emotions to be what they are, knowing that others are also an ever-evolving part of God. I am calm and patient and loving. I meditate as an activity to create ease and peace. I forgive myself and others for any judgment I may have around the activity of anyone else. I offer forgiveness as a means for us all to open our hearts and forgive ourselves. This loving activity helps create a world that works for everyone.

I celebrate this treatment. In calm confidence and abiding faith, I rest in deep appreciation. With love in my heart of knowing that truth demonstrated, I rejoice.

I speak this word as the Word of Spirit and release it to the Law. The Law always responds in the affirmative. I believe this truth and accept its manifestation.

And so it is.

Affirmative Prayer to Recognize My Unique Gifts

Affirmative Prayer to Recognize My Unique Gifts 

There is one Mind, the Perfect Intelligence, the one pure Light of Being. This One is all knowing and ever present. It is the Creative Presence that gives itself to all of life.

I am one with this divine Mind. The divine Mind is my mind and it is absolutely clear. It is the same intelligence that guides the planets on their path and it is guiding me on my path.

I am open to this guidance. I am clear about my unique gifts. I am a creative presence in this world. I give of myself in ways that nourish life. I remember that I am enough. I am worthy. I am unique and I am essential just as I am. I participate in life through the inner yearning of my heart. The way is made clear before me.

I give thanks for this revelation and realization of my true spiritual nature.

I let it be as it is already true and done.

And So It Is

Connected to All Life

Connected to All Life

Connected to all life, remembering that Divine Love flows eternally, witnessing this earth’s evolution up to this moment, I rest in this prayer connected to all there is.  My breath reminds me that I breathe with all life on this planet.  We are all interconnected by this divine thread of life’s intelligence living itself. 

In tragedy and sad hearted times, I hold tight with the tools of our faith which affirms that good will overshadow any hate.  Love is stimulated now into action by the conditions of the world, thus this prayer is a word for healing at our deepest level of humanity.  I affirm that it starts with me as I look into the corners of my heart and weed out any ideas of separation, hate, or prejudice.   I replace negativity with gratitude for life living itself as us in this important time in history.  I claim that healing starts in me as I allow feelings of hurt, sadness, disappointment, anger, fear, worry to flow in and more quickly flow out, as I give them safe passage through my thought atmosphere.   This allows divine love to flow more freely through me.

Understanding that when we are feeling the weight of world’s conditions now, we can choose to turn toward the truth that love emerges stronger and more unified than ever before, and with it a sense of hope, and peace, and faith that all unfolds in God’s grace.

Gratefully, I rest in confidence that love shines brightly in my heart and this light lifts up all those in my thought atmosphere.  As I release this prayer, I bless the work that is already at work in our world.

Amen

The Transmission of Love for all Humanity

We see a world where we live as one global family

There is one spark of light from which all life emanates. This original Source is timeless, seamless, endless, and intelligent. It creates from love and then loves Its creation. Whatever name it is given does not matter. It is the Source and Supply of all.

Nothing is outside of It. It lives as each one of us. The entire tapestry of life is woven together by the Creator. It is complex, beautiful, diverse, and inclusive of all sentient beings. Each thread is unique and adds to the beauty and magnificence of the whole. Without any one segment of thread, this life would not be the same. All are uniquely important to the Divine design we call life.

It is from this remembering that I accept for all humans the knowing of Divine connection. In this knowing comes serenity and space for light and love to grow new awareness. I accept that each of us in our own way realizes the nature of creation as loving and nurturing. And that as this realization occurs, there is less and less questioning and defining, but merely the acceptance and transmission of love. I claim that the urge to serve and help effortlessly arises in the face of need, and that this arising is the norm. We are a global family and our prayers for one another are affecting the entire planet. I claim that news reports of circumstances, which appear as dire, are merely prayer requests for each of us to incorporate into our daily practice. The remembering of our world in our prayers lifts and transforms energy toward sweetness and serenity.

Lifted in gratitude for the opportunity to remember the way it works, I surrender. My faith is strengthened and I rest right where I am.

I release this spiritual mind treatment to the movement and activity of the Law where it is immediately manifest as experience.

I let it be, and so it is.

One Global Family

We see a world where we live as one global family

There is only One Thing going on—it is Spirit: Holy Father, Wakan Tanka, Allah, Elohenu, Jehovah, Mother Earth—called by many names, It is all the same all-encompassing One. Everything seen and unseen, past, present and future, is created from Spirit. Spirit's love and peace blankets the entire globe. It is always available and continues to create through every part of this planet. 

All of life—each sentient being and everything on this earth—is created by Spirit.  Each one of us is created by Spirit as a unique expression. Each one of us, just slightly different from the rest, is an individualized expression from the same all-encompassing One. I have within me the qualities of Spirit: love, peace, joy and power. I have within me the ability to align with these qualities at any moment.  They are always available to me. I am, and we all are, part of the One. We are connected by Spirit's love all the time. We are united with each other in love and peace through the Spirit within each one of us. 

From this place of unity, I speak my word. I declare that each person in this global family feels this connection. I claim an opening for me and for all of us to understand that as something happens to one, it happens to all. I claim a shift in consciousness to uphold the awareness of a global family connected by Spirit. I am open to Spirit's love flowing through me and through each of us to the other. I claim peace and ease as consciousness moves toward embracing the idea of a global family. 

I give thanks for this realization of our oneness. I am grateful for this time of praying about the collective whole in Spirit.

I release my word into the Law and let it be. 

And so it is.

Prayer for a Child in the Hospital

Prayer for a Child in the Hospital

This child and his family are surrounded by a Divine Loving Presence. Like a protective blanket, It comforts them during times of challenge.  So this prayer includes the family and all of the healthcare providers attending to this child now. The powerful healing energy of Spirit flows through now bringing just the right elements needed to create the perfect healing environment. All the doctors and nurses and healthcare assistants are blessed in seeing their activities as divine tasks of healing.  This perfect child and his family feel this healing energy surrounding them now. I affirm rest and comfort for them during this time.  Confident in the faith that this powerful, loving, healing energy surrounds this family now, I affirm that all is well.  And so with gratitude knowing that this divine healing is already active, I let God do God’s work with awe and gratitude.  With this grace flowing mysteriously, beautifully, magically, through all of life, everyday miracles show up as a reminder of the wonder of life. 

Amen

Affirmative Prayer to Know the Truth

Purpose Statement: To know the truth of myself – who I really am. To speak my word of truth for my own worth, joy and wholeness.

There is only one God, one infinite Presence. It is the Presence of the perfect loving spirit that is everywhere present, all of the time. It is all that is known and also the mystery yet to be known. This Presence is the giver and sustainer of all life. It is truth, beauty and acceptance of all Good.

I am one with this loving heart of consciousness. This powerful and loving Presence resides at the core of my being. It beats my heart and pulses in my veins. Spirit’s nature is my nature. Spirit’s love is my love. I am a divine extension of the one Presence that runs through all life beautifully, harmoniously and lovingly. Every act, thought and consideration is but an extension of divine thought and truth.

I claim for myself an acceptance of who I really am as an embodiment of God right now in this present moment. I accept for myself that harmony, gratitude and peace well up from the center of my being. Joyous living is mine and I choose right action and right thought as life unfolds. I know for myself that from the place of harmony, abundance and power that is the loving Presence, I experience acceptance, wisdom and peace in my daily affairs. In a Universe that is always for me, I consciously identify with the good in my life and in the trust and belief that God knows what it is doing and has my best in mind. I claim the truth of happiness and joy as I move through my daily activities with poise and grace. I claim now for myself freedom from uncertainty and misconceptions. I am enough just as I am

I celebrate this treatment. In calm confidence and abiding faith I rest in deep appreciation. With love in my heart of knowing that truth demonstrated, I rejoice.

I speak this Word as the Word of Spirit and release it to the Law. The Law always responds in the affirmative. I believe this truth and accept its manifestation.

And So It Is. Amen

Natural Creative Abilities Shine Forth

We see a world here humanity rediscovers personal creative power

There is one infinite Presence: the Power and creative life Principle which is the source and sustainer of all life. This One is constantly and dependably expressing and expanding throughout all time, space, and every person, place, and event. It is forever expanding and expressing more; that is Its very nature.

This One must and does act the same through all people. That includes me and everyone I have ever met or am yet to meet. Spirit is always present, always expressing.

I claim an expansion of our understanding of the creative energy within all people everywhere. I claim the openness to allow all to honor their own and others’ natural creative abilities. I delight in witnessing the joy and freedom of creating something new that has never been experienced by humankind, like the light bulb or the internet. I call forth the experience and expression of something new in individuals. This newness, and this allowing of ideas to come forth, serves the entire world. I claim an increased awareness of everyone’s innate talents and that this awareness is a blessing to all. I am so grateful to know that each person is honored and valued for their talents, and this honor allows their uniqueness and magnificence to shine for their own and everyone’s good.

My heart fills with joy witnessing a world that allows personal creative power to bless all.

With absolute faith and confidence, I release my word to the Law of Creation, which makes it so. I let it be.

And so it is

Creative Power

We see a world where humanity rediscovers personal creative power

There is One Source, One Creative Power, One Infinite Intelligence, One Power for Good, One Spirit, an Infinite Divine Presence that is the only power and presence in the universe. There is nothing outside of It, nothing separate from It, nothing in opposition to It. It creates all, includes all, loves all, sustains all, and empowers all. It knows only good and It knows no lack nor limitation.

I am one with this Infinite and powerful Presence. It created me, guides me, sustains me, and empowers me in every moment to express the truth of my being—I am Spirit in full expression. Spirit knows who I am and reminds me that I am Spirit too; one with the One. I know this same truth for and about every single member of humanity. We are all one in Spirit, all guided, directed, and empowered by the One. Spirit knows our function in the world and guides each of us on our path to wholeness and full expression of our truth.

As each of us wakes up to this awareness of who we are, guided by the One, we rediscover our personal creative power—the individualized expression of the One Creative Power. As each one wakes up, there is healing on a personal level and a planetary level. We are healing ourselves and healing the world through finding our true selves as Spirit. We are bringing to ourselves and the world greater peace, wholeness, and personal satisfaction by finding our creative power within.

I celebrate this movement in consciousness that is taking place for myself and for all of humanity. I am so grateful for knowing that Spirit is guiding me and each one of us in this process and that we cannot fail.

I release this word to the Infinite Powerful Creative One and know that it is already so.

And so it is.
