Affirmative Prayer for Mother Earth


The one Source of all there is expresses itself as this world we know as “Mother Earth.”  Just as we witness mothers giving birth to new life, so too our Mother Earth creates environments that support a diverse wealth of life.  There is a balance and harmony in life forms, each divine in nature, all a part of this one Source.

Connected to everything, all is a part of this tree of life.  I have evolved from an eternity before me settled here at home on Mother Earth in this present moment.  The beauty and mystery of nature is evident everywhere especially as the seasons change. 

The love of this Mother Earth informs my choices; even small actions can have big impacts on my health and the well-being of our planet.  I see the expression of this divine creativity everywhere.  My love grows as I see the beauty, grace, and harmony of nature all around me. 

Grateful for the abundant life on Mother Earth, I celebrate the beauty, the connection, the inclusion, the resilience of all life.  I let this prayer go, confident our planet evolves for the highest good. 

And so it is.

Affirmative Prayer for My Spiritual Journey


There is only one life. That life is God's life. It is in and through and as all beingness. It  is love, fully and everywhere present, the source and sustainer of all that is, fully available right here, right now and in every moment, always acting on behalf of its creation for the highest and greatest good.

This is what I am made of. It is the  source and supply of my being. I live within its infinite intelligence and potential. I am inseparable from the Divine nature of life. I am an individual expression of it, here on purpose through the will of God. As this is true for me this is true for all life, for all creation.

From this understanding I speak my word for and about myself and others. I  affirm God's presence in every aspect of my life, especially in the midst of challenges which are opportunities given me for my spiritual growth. I affirm a growing willingness to accept situations and circumstances that are placed before me, with a deepening trust in the divine GPS to successfully navigate me through life, however it appears. I embrace my daily spiritual practice as it deepens and anchors me in Truth. I celebrate my growing patience and ability to see beyond conditions. I practice consciously noticing the good and beautiful ways life shows up. When I struggle I am kind and gentle with myself and I ask for prayer support. By receiving and caring for myself I  share my gifts and serve others with more compassion and love. 

I am so blessed. With a grateful heart I recognize and celebrate this spiritual truth. It is already known and done in the one heart and mind of God.

And so it is.

Affirmative Prayer for an Unborn Baby


There is a divine creative Spirit that lives itself through all of its creation.  Its wisdom is experienced as we see the brilliance in all life.  Each one of us is a center in this expression of life, guided by this divine intelligence.

Just as each one of us is a unique incarnation of this creative source, so this baby is that brilliant light now growing into full expression.  Thus, this prayer affirms that the perfect manifestation and likeness of this divine nature is growing flawlessly as this baby now.  S/He is fully equipped to experience love, joy, comfort, and peace of mind.  The baby even now is listening to the joy around him/her as all await this arrival and already s/he is a happy baby!

So I bless this prenatal time and give great thanks for the evolution of this baby coming into our lives.  Already s/he is a blessing to so many.

Letting this prayer go now, confident the spiritual laws are already working beautifully to make it so, I let it be.

Amen

Affirmative Prayer to Protect All Life

There is one all-powerful God in all of creation, in the whole universe, and in the smallest of its creatures. It embraces with its tenderness all that exists.

This includes me and all sentient beings. We are one with and loved by It without any conditions.

I claim and embrace God's tenderness with all that exists. Within Spirit's power, I  lovingly protect all life and beauty. I accept that each one is filled with peace, living as brothers and sisters, harming no one or nothing. Within us is the grace to feel profoundly connected to everything that is. The strength and power of the Absolute help us to rescue the abandoned and forgotten of this earth. It brings healing to our lives that we may heal the world.

I celebrate and give thanks for the awe and contemplation opening my heart and my eyes to the beauty before me.

I release my word into the perfect Law already acting upon it and making it so.

And so it is.
