Affirmative Prayer to Know Safety and Peace


The one Infinite Presence enfolds all in its loving embrace. Nothing is outside of Its wholeness and perfection. It is the one source and sustenance of all that is, was or ever shall be. Mother-Father God, the Beloved, Spirit, the Divine, however named, is everywhere present in, through and as all life. It is the boundless power and intelligence that continually creates life from itself, eternally giving to its creation. It moves the invisible into form. It is the seen and unseen, the known and unknown, the formed and formless, fully present in every aspect of its creation in every moment. It is the glorious unlimited nature of being. Life abides within the One as beauty, harmony, light and joy. The Shepherd cherishes and gathers all into his boundless care.

And I know I am made of this wondrous stuff. Mother-Father God is the substance and home of my being. It is my very breath and heartbeat. Wherever I am, I am within the One, it is the home in me, around me and as me. I live in the One. There is no place I end and the rest of God, of this life, begins. I am always at home within the love, safety and care of my Creator. Every aspect of my being--- body, mind and spirit are merged within the one life, connected to all the other individual expressions of the Divine. I am a drop in this ocean of love, infinitely cherished and cared for, inseparable from my good.

From this awareness I speak this prayer. I affirm that whatever happens in the world that feels unsafe, however life shows up there is always within me, that unchangeable Spiritual Truth of my being.  As a child of God it is my ballast, my rock foundation that never wavers, it is the ever present Divine within. In the midst of situation, condition and circumstance I turn inward to that place of safety and peace, I lean into God's embrace. I rest in that place of sanctuary, prayer and renewal.  I open to and accept support, strength and safety for my body mind and spirit. I remember that life is always for me, that God is right where I am. God's infinite power, goodness and wisdom created me on purpose, always acting on my behalf. I trust that God as Life knows what it's doing and how to do it. I am abundantly safe in the Shepherd's care.

In gratitude I affirm and rest in this spiritual truth for myself and all of life. 

I let go and let God. This is known and done in the heart and mind of God before these words were spoken. And so it is.

Affirmative Prayer for Healing

Prayer for healing

There is One. It is the whole perfect and complete Life, the Source and Sustainer. It creates from itself, anew in each moment, ever acting with love on behalf of life. No thing is outside of It. The Divine gathers all unto Itself.  It is everywhere present, in around, through and as all. It is infinite Intelligence, Joy and Potential, moving the invisible into form. It is the irrepressible heart and breath of the seen and the unseen, the known and the unknown, ever expressing. 

I am made of this stuff, a part of this one whole, perfect and complete life. I am here on purpose through the will and love of the One, I am the Beloved's vessel and instrument.  I abide in the unshakable foundation, joy and essence of being. I am inseparable from my good, my divine essence. As this is true for me this is true for all life.

From this understanding I affirm this prayer. In the midst of life showing up in all Its forms, in the temporary appearance of dis ease in body, mind or spirit I accept the ever present power of God's love that always acts on my behalf for my highest and greatest good. I open to the divine intelligence within me as I release fear and listen to my heart and body connection. I welcome my good.  I allow my inherent divine nature  to express with ease as I remember the truth of my being. In life's situation, condition or circumstance my heart softens, I am vulnerable and I open to a greater experience of love. I accept help and support as my body, heart and spirit realign with my whole perfect and complete nature.  The depth of my patience and healing correspond  as I welcome the continued revelation of my spiritual truth.

I rest in this awareness and  its continued expression.  With deep appreciation for this and more, I let go and let God, assured that is already known and done in the mind of the One.

And so it is.

Affirmative Prayer for Remembering My Divine Nature



There is One Life, whole perfect and complete.  All is enfolded in its irrepressible, boundless nature.  It is Love, creating from Itself, giving to creation in each moment, as the body, mind and spirit of all life. It is the seen and unseen, the known and unknown, everywhere present. Infinite power, potential and intelligence  always acting on behalf of  creation. It brings the invisible into form. 

And so I am made of this one Source, brought into being on purpose through Its power. I am a place where God shows up. This is true of all life. I am inseparable from this one life, a part of this everywhere present divine substance.  I am seamlessly connected to all of life. I live and breathe as an individual expression of life, within the One. This divine stuff is in, around through and as me. I have no edges. I am an instrument and vessel of the One, cherished and supported in and as a part of the one body, mind and spirit of the Divine. I am inseparable from infinite Intelligence, Potential and Love, as it is the nature of my being.

With this understanding I affirm this prayer for myself. I accept a deepening connection to life throughout my daily activities. I slow down and allow the loving Presence to express through patience and appreciation for myself,  others and the world around me. I forgive and support more easily, confident in my and others' ability to grow and navigate however life shows up. I remember that when I affirm and move toward my greatest good, all benefit through our innate connection within the One. I more easily listen with my heart. I give room for life to unfold and guide me, responding to the Divine within. Prayer and contemplation anchor my days.

I celebrate the presence of Spirit in, around, through and as me. I accept this Truth with a grateful heart.

It is already known and done before this word was spoken. I let go and let God. And so it is.

Abundance

Abundance


Life is wantonly generous—sand grains, pollen, stars, atoms, seeds—everywhere there is more than enough. The lavish generosity of our Beloved Source pours down, spreads out, gives unceasingly at all levels of reality that we can see and, surely, at levels invisible to us, because It is Its nature to give, to provide way beyond need. And as It gives, it also receives in a swirling dance of giving and taking back that is joyous, generous, and never ending.

I am of this same nature, a copy from this template of Goodness and Plenty, giving and getting in miniature, performing my part in the Divine flow. My longing for the empowerment of resources is the longing of Spirit to act and bless and love through me.

All this evidence of openhandedness is clearly visible to me and I am jubilant to know I am a part of the endless rotation of circulation, and so I am Its joyful recipient. My life is one of confidence and trust because I know I am provided for even before I ask. The abundance of all the infinite Goodness available is at my fingertips.

Knowing that my supply is as inevitable as the water that appears when I turn on the tap, I am joyously thankful. I wait in glad eagerness to claim my Good.

I say this is so, and so it is!

Prayer for Times of Grief and Loss

There is One, no other, no thing outside of It, the source, foundation and substance of Love. It is everywhere present, connecting all to Itself, eternally giving to Its creation, whole, perfect and complete, ever expressing through and as Life. This divine Mother-Father God is the one heart, the one body, mind and spirit of all that is. This all knowing Intelligence always acts on behalf of Life, bringing the invisible into form. It celebrates and delights in creation, It is the balm of comfort and compassion. It is uncaused Joy, Beauty and Peace. The Beloved is never absent. It is fully available in every moment.

From this I am made, It is my source and sustenance. I am here on purpose through the will and love of God, a place where God shows up. The Divine breathes through me, beats my heart and renews me in each moment. I am inseparable from this one life, however life is showing up.  All my needs are met within it. I am never alone, the Beloved is as close as my breath.

With this understanding I affirm this prayer for myself and all beings, all life. I accept that  God is with me in all situations, conditions or circumstances. In the appearance of loss and grief I am never alone, the comfort and compassion of the Divine walks with me in all things. I willingly receive this good as my heart breaks open. I allow grief and longing its full expression, I let the tears flow. I let the waves move through me as my heart softens and embraces life more fully, with a deepening passion and tenderness. I honor endings and beginnings with renewed reverence. I recognize the natural cycle of life, the continuity and eternal nature of my and others' physical and spiritual beingness. I am generous and kind to myself. I give this process the time it needs. I am supported and comforted. I gently integrate this experience into my heart, body, mind and spirit. I am transformed and enriched by it. Love grows in me. It is well.

With a grateful heart I acknowlege this spiritual truth of my being, confidant it is already known and done in the heart and arms of the Divine.

And so it is.

A Prayer for Firefighters


A Prayer for our Firefighters’ Safety

This magnificent life shows up everywhere, in the wisdom in the trees and the landscapes that forever changing. 

And this living wisdom expresses itself in the lives of our Firefighters.

Warm-hearted gratitude is felt for all Firefighters and helpers, and the intuition that guides them and protects them in this challenging work.

It is the allness of life , that one  power which moves divine substance in and out of form, always creating from itself anew. It is the  boundless, limitless essence of all life, everywhere present always available and acting on behalf of creation.

And so I am made of this Divine stuff. As this is true for me this is true for all of God's creation. This one infinite intelligence is around, through and as me. This is also true for my dear pet, all life is an expression of the Divine. There is no separation, I and my pet are connected to each other and the One through Love. We have our being within the One. We are issued from the Divine, each an individual instrument and vessel, created irrevocably whole, perfect and complete. This is the Spiritual Truth of being.

From this understanding  I allow this Truth to fulfill me, to inform, comfort and guide me through this thing called my pet's health and wellness. I affirm and rest in this connection of love that is everpresent. I make choices about my pet's medical care and treatment that honor my resources and their quality of life, aware of the naturally shorter life span of my beloved pet.  I am grateful for  all that is called forth in this relationship, for the softening of my heart through this dear creature God placed in my life. Whether my pet recovers or transitions at this time my life is forever enriched and more deeply connects to all of life through this experience. Love, joy and tenderness fill me. I recognize that all is well, all is well.

I celebrate this Spiritual Truth with an open and grateful heart. I let go and let God, surrendering this prayer unto the Divine from which it came, where it is already known and done before these words were spoken. 

And so it is.

Healing through Grief and Loss



Divine life is always moving forward.  The intention of this divine Life is goodness and is seen everywhere. It is seen as the renewal in spring, the cycling of the seasons, the growing of plants and trees; all are growing according to an amazing inner clock. 

This living essence is within everything and everyone.  Each one of us is a one-of-a-kind expression of this one Life. I am a part of this living essence, this divine Life.



Recognizing grief and loss as a natural part of this cycle of Life, I choose to stay connected with the power that orchestrates all Life. I affirm an unobstructed flow of feelings through me that brings a sense of freedom and healing.  I release old habits that don’t serve any longer and I listen to that gentle voice that knows that love is the answer.  I listen to my heart and take extra good care of myself while allowing myself to grieve.  I breathe deeply; aware that something mysteriously wonderful is keeps me breathing.  Allowing one breath after another reminds me that my breath comforts me, connecting me again and again to this one Life, and that brings me hope and gratitude. 

Resting in faith and thankfulness, I release this prayer to the spiritual laws that are already activated by this Word.

And so it is.

I rest in this understanding, accepting this spiritual truth for myself and others. With a grateful heart I let go and let God, absolutely assured that it is already known and done. And so it is.

There is one life, that life is God's life, whole perfect and complete. It is in and through and as all being. It is love and transformation, Life ever unfolding and rearranging Itself into the highest good. This one Source and Sustainer forever gives to creation. It's infinite, boundless nature is everywhere present. Unlimited Intelligence and Potential are 100% available in every moment.

I am made of this God stuff. It is the substance and foundation of my being. It creates, acts and unfolds in around and through me. I am made anew by it in each moment. I am an expression and instrument of God, inseparable from divine activity. I live and have my being within the One.

From this understanding I speak for and about myself and all life. Boundless potential is right where I am. I welcome a reconfiguring of my life with deeper trust in the unlimited expression of good in ways known and unknown, seen and unseen. Infinite intelligence and creativity live as me. I claim a growing awareness of my intuition as it informs and guides me through change and transformation, internal and external. I recognize a willingness to make friends with the unknown. I allow myself to abide in a place with the familiar and the unknown. I let go of the past, and trust in God's wisdom and unfolding action that creates my life anew in each moment, perfectly.

With a grateful heart I rest in this spiritual truth. It is already known and done in the mind of God. 

And so it is.

Affirmative Prayer for Balance with Family Relationships


There is a power in the universe that expresses itself as life.  This energy of life is found everywhere; in plants, animals and all living beings.  Its character is loving, powerful, joyful, and giving.

Just as this life energy animates my life, so it lives the lives of those around me.  Each one is life in expression, unique, free to make choices.

This prayer speaks to families needing new ways of relating. In this tender time, remembering that the divine spirit lives and flows through all life, I declare that this spiritual wisdom is available to each one of us, and we have the choice to use it compassionately. 

Families are surrounded by this loving presence that supplies infinite ideas for creative new family relationships.  Each of us brings our ways of seeing joy in the world to the table.  We learn from each other.  Trust grows

This loving spirit intends only well for us and we get to receive that goodness with our families.  As each one nourishes themselves in this grace of spirit, each becomes more resilient and able to connect again with others.  At God’s speed this transformation takes place, families regain balance. 

And with gratitude for the way this spirit works, I release this prayer to the activity of those spiritual laws that are already making this so.

And so it is.  Amen.

Goodness of Life

Goodness of Life

One Life, one Loving Power in through and as all, is fully present in each moment. The Source and Sustainer of Life is always acting on behalf of Its creation. It is the one breath and heartbeat, that which moves the invisible into form.

I am brought into being through the will of God, here on purpose as an individual expression and instrument of the One. It breathes through me. There is no place I end and the rest of life begins. I am inseparable from this one life.

In this awareness I open to an ever growing expression of life. I accept a deeper connection to and reverence for life that informs all I think say and do. I welcome a mindfulness that guides me throughout my day and slows me down to savor the goodness and  beauty that surround me. I rest in patience and delight in the richness of life. I allow the continued flow of the Divine through me, trusting in Its boundless love, potential and intelligence to demonstrate with ease and joy. I let go of any thought , idea or belief that is contrary to the inherent goodness of life.

In gratitude, I rest in this spiritual truth, confidant that it is already known and done in the heart and mind of God. 

And so it is.

All I Need is Within


All I Need is Within

There is this one infinite presence in, through and as all life. It is right here right now, as divine love, intelligence, and potential. It is everywhere present as the one activity of beingness. It enfolds all; no thing is outside of this one life, it loves all into and out of form, creating anew in each moment.

I am made of this God stuff. It is my source and sustainer. It breathes me and beats my heart. I am inseparable from this divine Presence, an expression of It. I have no edges; I am a drop of water in Its ocean of love.

From this understanding I speak my prayer. Infinite Intelligence and potential are right where I am. I accept a greater experience of intuition. I trust I am informed and guided amidst life's boundless possibilities and choices. All that I need to know is within me, 100% available in perfect right timing.  As an expression of Love I open to the vitality, care and sustenance that are inherently mine. All that I need is right here and now. 

I am grateful as I rest in this sweet awareness, the Truth of my being that is already so in the mind of God.

And so it is.

Peace in Times of Change


The Divine is so much more than words can capture.  Its nature is seen in the changing seasons, the storms, the rainbows, flowers, leaves and daylight returning year after year and it is evident in the consciousness of its reality.  It resides within each one of us.  Its nature is our true nature as we are made of it too.

This Divine mystery that is living as my life understands the shifting sands of time much better than I. Its wisdom orchestrates the universe with grace and power.  Every cell of my body resonates with its wisdom, doing just what it needs to do to keep my body working at its best. Each breath comes and goes automatically, and with trust in this breath I begin to see the bigger picture that the Divine is expressing in me and all around me.

Like the ocean with turbulent waves on the surface, below the surface is calm, deep, and peaceful.  Our mind is immersed in this divine flow of energy only obstructed by our focus on human circumstances which sometimes create imbalance.  So I focus on releasing any obstructions to allowing this divine flow to have its way with me.  I listen to its intuition as I go about my day trusting it to guide me to calmer waters.

Grateful knowing that this Living Spirit abides within me and all those around me, allows me to feel serene and confident regardless of what appears in my experience.

And with this gratitude I release this prayer to the workings of those spiritual laws that have already made it so.

And so it is.  Amen

Affirmative Prayer for Trust

Trust in midst of not  knowing

God's divine intelligence and love bring all life into being. This boundless reservoir of power, goodness and wisdom is always acting on behalf of its creation, is everywhere present with every configuration of life. This compassionate Mother Father God is the all knowing architect and conductor of all that is. No thing is outside of Its loving care and attention. God is the doer, expressing through Its creation.

And so I am made of God's substance, here on purpose through the love of the Creator. I am an instrument of the One. The Divine moves and acts through me. I am inseparable from the One Body, Mind and Spirit. I am guided and sustained by this loving Source.

From this awareness I am willing to surrender to the all-knowingness of God. In the midst of life's messiness and shifting clarity I open to a greater experience of faith in God's infinite wisdom and intelligence. When I don't know something I am willing to trust in God's knowing for me. I rest in this space of not knowing and welcome whatever is being birthed through me. I am comforted that I will be informed of what I need to know when I need to know it. I soften and open to God's perfect timing.

I celebrate and accept this spiritual Truth for and about myself and all of life.

It is known and done in the mind of God. And so it is.

I am Guided and Supported


I am Guided and Supported

There is one constant, steadfast Divine Presence that is infinite and eternal. This Divine Presence is forever giving its creative power and love to all of creation. This Divine Presence guides and supports every aspect of existence.  It is the Beloved. It is the one true Reality.

The creative power and love of the Divine Presence lives in me. It is who I am. It is expressing in every aspect of my life. I am one with the Divine Presence.

I accept that the Divine Presence is right now supporting me, guiding me and meeting all my needs as I navigate this time of change. I open to a full realization of the truth of who I am. I remember to turn to the love and creative power of the Divine Presence in all circumstances and situations in my life.  I am a channel for the Divine Presence to express love in the world and I align myself with Its nature in me.

I give thanks for this realization of my oneness with the Divine Presence and its action in my life.

I release this, my word of affirmation, into the Law that governs creation.

And So It Is

The Healing Power

There is a Power Healing me Right Now

In the infinity of time, every moment has led up to this one.  Just as in every moment, it is filled with the same powerful force that infills everything.  This invisible current of energy is sensed in the beauty of nature and the wonder of life at all.  

My breath reminds me that I am a living part of this grand life, just as each one of us is.  Just like an intricate puzzle, each of us brings our unique qualities; the puzzle would not be complete without each individual piece.

This prayer aligns my being with the power of this living source that knows how to heal and is doing so in my body now.  Any area needing special healing energy receives it now as this intention becomes reality.  Resting in the faith that everything is supporting me through this healing journey, I relax with confidence that all is taken care of.  Everything is aligned for my well-being and all the caretakers involved in this healing journey.

Resting and relaxing into the gratitude understanding at a deep level that all is well, I release this prayer to that divine intelligence that already has made it so. For so it is.


Amen

I Am Open to Life

I Am Open to Life


There is one reality; that is the presence of a divine essence in every particle in this never ending universe. It is the forward moving energy of the divine one that is this world we are a part of.  A divine idea expressed as the body of God.  The body of God includes all diverse expressions of itself, balanced, and organized moving toward fuller understanding of itself. 

It lives through each one of us, just like we are its eyes and ears experiencing this mystery of life in all its beauty, joy, love, so that it may know itself better.

This prayer asserts that life unfolds in perfect timing; everything coordinated and integrated for the greatest good of all.  This divine Spirit works through each of us like a compass, inspiring, guiding, and nudging us in directions leading to our greatest understanding of ourselves and others.  Life is now seen as an endless collection of insightful moments where our unique self is appreciated for all the life experiences that have led to this perfect moment in time.

Letting go of thoughts that restrict my experience of joy, peace, love and beauty, I open to the newness of each moment, curious and eager to witness the evolving nature of life.  I relax expectations allowing life to be even better than imagined.  All bodily functions work in harmony to release where needed, heal when called upon, and to relax in an open way allowing peaceful rest, joyful awakening, and curious expectancy.

Grateful for the way the divine one shows up as wisdom, peace, and love in each of our lives, offering us infinite ideas for expression, I release this prayer in full confidence that all the details have already been beautifully worked out.

So I let it be.

Amen

I Remember My Connection

Connection 

There is only One. It is the infinite in and through and as all being, the source and sustainer of all that is. This all-knowing, boundless loving presence enfolds all in its embrace. It is the formed and the formless. It brings the invisible into being, creating from itself anew in each moment. It is the breath, the heartbeat, lover and beloved of all. It cherishes and sustains all that is, acting on behalf of its creation for the highest good. There is no other, all is within the One.

And so I am made of this, inseparable from the Divine. There is no place where I end and the rest of this life begins. I am an expression of the Divine, a place where God shows up. I am a vessel and instrument that God flows through, imbued with and made of this one presence. I am within its ocean of being. I am a part of this sacred presence.

From this awareness I speak this prayer for myself and all life. I rest in its fullness and power. I embrace my intuition, that voice within, giving it more space to guide and inform me as I move through my daily activities. I slow down to notice and connect, looking beyond appearances to embrace what is before me in new and unexpected ways remembering my connection to all that is. I welcome a growing sense of awe and wonder in the midst of life showing up just as it is and just as it isn't, in all its beautiful messiness, resting in life's seamless nature. I more easily laugh, see joy, beauty and goodness, finding new ways to navigate what appears broken or disconnected. I grow in daily spiritual practice. I soften as I generously listen and think from my heart. I celebrate life, allowing a greater expression of its connection and oneness through me.

With reverence and delight I rest in this spiritual truth. It is already acted upon, known and done within the One.

And so it is.
