The Delight of the Season
Right now, right here - One life. It is seen in the bright twinkling of Christmas lights; it is heard in the chorus of Christmas carols and its fragrance weaves its way to us from the evergreen trees and the sweet smell of cinnamon in the Christmas cookies. God is present in all of it. This One life is in the stillness of the longer nights of the season. It is in the hearts of humankind as they give of themselves. It is in the purity and innocence of a newborn babe. It is love. It is peace.
I am connected
to this source of all life as it resides at the very core of my being. I turn
to it, opening. I allow this goodness to uplift me and through its power and
presence I am guided. I am guided to remember that I am a divine emanation of
the One. All of its qualities are mine also. I am love I am peace.
I claim that
the knowledge of this connection works through me and as me. I accept all the
good that comes my way. I believe in the harmony and the faith and the delight
of the season. I stand assuredly in the grace light of God. I love and forgive
others and just as importantly, I love and forgive myself. I send out this
energy of love and kindness. It creates a force field around me and my life is
made better.
As I feel
the shift in knowing the truth of this prayer, I am grateful.
So, it is
with calm and confidence that I lift up this prayer and surrender it to
the One. I know that it is already answered. It is done and done well. And
so it is. Amen.

Powerful Faith
As the Creator is all of these qualities I too am connected to the all that is. The same qualities of the divine Spirit reside in me and each one. At the very core of my being is a place that has never been hurt and knows only love. It is this essence that connects us one to another always.
I remember this connection with Spirit and operate from that place. It guides me and directs me. It uplifts me and comforts me. I walk and live and have my being standing firmly in my faith. And if I momentarily forget, I return home quickly and easily to what I know to be the truth. I am worthy of the grace of God. It is my divine birthright. All is well.
My heart resides in gratitude for the knowing and shift in consciousness that this prayer has voiced. I celebrate its truth.
With that surety of faith I simply release this word unto the activity of God that makes it so, the law. For in the mind of God it is already done.
And so it is!

Affirmative Prayer for Peace
God is peace. This divine comfort and ease is present in every sunrise and every sunset. It is in every inhalation and exhalation of breath. This deep peace is in this beautiful blue planet and in every star and in the space between the stars. It is an energy and an essence of ease and relief. It is always present and available to all. There is simply no place this peace does not exist. Like a river running through the mountains or the forests or all the way to the ocean, this peace carries through all activity. Nothing can stand in its way.
I am connected to this source of deep peace. It is within me and around me. It resides at the very center of my being. It resides in that safe place where I’ve never been harmed or hurt and only love exists. And the love of this deep peace that is God is so great that it is comforting to me. It holds me and knows me better than I know myself. I open to this connection and accept the peace I feel.
I claim the truth of this right now. I accept for myself my ability to move through whatever life has in store for me with this deep peace as my companion. It’s power and presence guides me and directs me to right action and to loving kindness. Because I allow this feeling of peace it radiates outward from me affecting those with whom I come in contact. I know that I uplift the whole and enjoy everything more fully.
My heart resides in gratitude for the knowing of this prayer. And for allowing the truth of that knowing to create a shift in my awareness.
It is with calm and confidence that I simply release this prayer onto that activity of God, the Law, that makes it so. It is already done.
And so it is.

Healing is Revealed for Our World
There is one energy of divine creative expression; its nature is love, compassion, surprising opportunities. It is seen as life all around me and I sense it breathing me and guiding my journey.
Just as this life energy expresses as me, it is living through all creatures here on earth and elsewhere. All is Spirit in expression.
This prayer declares that life aligns with this powerful energy of compassion, love, and healing. All sides come together to unite for the betterment of the people of this planet. In this unity, the world works together even more closely, realizing we are one family. Healing is being more fully revealed through the united cause of peace, health and calm.
My faith is strong as I sense Spirit flowing through me easily, without obstruction. I allow Spirit’s intention to inform me of what is mine to do and I bless every moment of my being. I sense a relief in our world as we come together to meet a new day.
Collaboration, love, and team work, unite us in a powerful force for good creating this new, loving world. We pray and take action. We each do our part in co-creating this next chapter.
Grateful for Spirit’s expression in, through, and around everything, I release this prayer confident it demonstrates in my experience as peace, love, health, and harmony.
And so it is.

A Vision of Wholeness
Recognizing the Dearest One, Father-Mother God, within which all life is created, abides and expresses. This divine vessel is all inclusive, nothing is outside of it. It is the source and sustainer of all life. Its unconditional love, boundless intelligence, compassion and creative power are always working on behalf of life, for the highest and greatest good. God is everywhere present and available in each breath and in every moment.
I need only turn inward or look outward and God is there. I
am made through the will of God, from its divine substance, created in God's
image, as a child of God. The Divine is in, through and around me. It
is the power that holds me and all life to the planet. I am inseparable from
this one life, even when I forget. As this is true for me, it is true for
all.
I speak this word of prayer for and about all of life. I
notice the worldly situation, condition and circumstances that call for
solutions through unity and understanding. As I open to the Divine, I surrender
any thought, idea or belief in lack, limitation, separation or fear. God is my
co-pilot, ever-present to inform and guide my actions. I allow the light of the
Beloved to transform my fear and anger into love. I accept a growing vision of
wholeness in my relationships, my community, my nation, and a world where the
life on, and of this planet is cherished. I reach out into the faith community.
I look for values I can agree on with those of a differing political point of
view. I start right here, inside my own heart and mind with my daily
spiritual practice.
I am grateful for this shift in consciousness. I trust that
this prayer is already known and done in the mind of God.

I Reach Out for Prayer and Divine Guidance
There is one Spirit, one power and consciousness that is everywhere present, love itself. It is the source and sustainer of life, of every breath and heartbeat, always acting on behalf of Its creation. With Its love, strength and compassion It enfolds all. Nothing is outside of Its embrace.
So, I am here on purpose, created from and sustained by the
Divine. As this is true for me this is the truth of all life, all beings. I am
awakening to God's presence, returning to my Source through this process of involution.
This is shared by all of creation. We are all drops in the Ocean of the One.
From this understanding, I speak my word for and about all
beings, all life. We are in this together! I affirm that in the midst of
however life is showing up I am enfolded in divine purpose and intelligence. I
think, choose and act from this awareness. I am willing to let go of anything
contrary to my good so that my actions reflect the highest and greatest good
for all concerned. In the apparent chaos of the pandemic, natural disaster,
politics, elections, violence, social injustice--- I open to divine guidance
and what is mine to do. I am generous hearted, and forgiving. Kind humor
and joy express through me as I go about my day. If I am feeling low, I
reach out to friends, my spiritual community and ask for prayer. I lean into my
daily practice.

The Creative Power of Love
Saturday, October 10, 2020
A World that Works for All
Recognition: Spirit is the absolute, eternal, infinite, unconditionally loving intelligence at the heart of all that is. Spirit is love and compassion, encompassing all and embracing all. Spirit is justice, a guiding light toward what is right. Spirit is abundance, and prosperity, always providing what is needed whenever it is needed. Spirit is equality, recognizing all of its creations as worthy of love.
Unification: I Am a living embodiment of Spirit, a
fully manifested individualized expression of love, compassion, Justice, abundance,
prosperity, and equality. The creative life force that surrounds and
indwells me expresses through me its desire to raise humanity's consciousness
and create a world that celebrates these qualities.
Realization: I Am aware of and awakened to
the forward movement of life in the realms of politics and
economics. I Am engaged in activities with individuals and
organizations dedicated to creating political systems in which every voice is
heard and economic systems in which wealth is freely circulated. And I am
fully aligned with Spirit in the raising humanity's consciousness to point
where we all recognize our inherent kinship with one another. I joyously
celebrate the creation of a world that awakens humanity to its divine inheritance,
a world that truly works for all.
Thanksgiving: I Am profoundly and eternally
grateful for this sacred vision and for every blessing that I have ever given
and received.
Release: I offer up and release this sacred
Word into the infinite activity of the one Mind, knowing that as I declare that
Word to be true, it has come to pass.
And so it is!

Affirmative Prayer for Mothers and Children
There is only one thing going on, and it is the activity and expression of God, everywhere present always acting for the highest and greatest good of Its creation. Nothing is outside of Its all enfolding love, power, compassion and intelligence.
It is the substance of this moment and this prayer. It is the source and sustainer of my being and that of all mothers and their children. All are inseparable from the goodness of Father Mother God. There is no spot where Spirit is not. It is the divine stuff, the seen and unseen ground of being.

With this understanding I speak this prayer for and about myself and all mothers and children who struggle in body , mind or spirit. I accept God's all-knowing presence of love, compassion and strength surrounding however life is showing up. I recognize as my child navigates great challenges and abides within the boundless love of God; they are never alone. My mother's heart breaks open to a greater love and trust in the unknown. I open to divine guidance and am informed how to best support my child. I grow emotionally and spiritually in this process.

Prayer for a Loved One at the Time of Transition
In this prayer you can insert the name of a loved one as appropriate.
There is one intelligence that created the universe and everything in it. This one presence, known by many names, lives itself through all of its creation; infused in every molecule and every moment. Its nature is love, peace, and grace.
As this intelligence is everywhere, it must be expressing as me and all of my family members
At this time, close to transition for _______, I claim calm and peace of mind for all family members. Appreciating the greatness of _______’s life and their lasting legacy, we recognize this as a time of celebration. All of the lives of this family are a tribute to _______’s gift to the world. We affirm a comfortable transition to the other side. We remember the tender moments of our family that link us together, interwoven, complicated, evolving, growing; all coming together in consciousness to honor and be grateful for ______’s life, now.
I declare that this transition of life reveals our faith in the greater yet to be; resting in peace, infused in a universe of love and freedom from earthly concerns.
With gratitude for the way life reveals itself, passing on its genetic brilliance through the ages, each generation is unique as it adapts to this present moment.
With a thankful heart, knowing that life knows just what to do in times of transition; I let this prayer go with serene confidence that all unfolds perfectly.
And So It Is

Adapting to Change
We are each a one of a kind expression of God; fully equipped to experience love, peace of mind, and connection with this one source, journeying to the greater yet to be.
Just as everything in the universe is made of this brilliant intelligence, I too am of this same substance. It automatically and amazingly lives and breathes me. And as that’s true for me it is true for us all; each one of us a unique expression of this same life. And this planet is continually evolving for the greatest expression of all its inhabitants.
So, I affirm that we are in the flow of life, awakening each day to the amazing changes that are the natural expression of life evolving. Everywhere we look is the evidence of growth and the change of seasons reminds us that change is all there is, all the time.
So, navigating change with grace and ease, I declare comfort adapting to change, and delight when we discover that the new reality is even better than expected.
Grateful discovering that living with change can be challenging and rewarding at the same time, I relax and let life reveal itself to me. Pushing us to use our spiritual tools, we open to the new and changing reality surrendering and letting go of the past.
Thankful then that the spiritual laws are doing the work in this prayer, I let go and release this Word to the power of life, knowing all is truly well.
And so it is.

Affirmative Prayer for Renewal in Times of Crisis
This creative intelligence flows through me now. It automatically breathes my body which is the body of this spirit incarnate. And as that’s true for me, it’s true for each one of us; that the divine lives as us. We are its senses experiencing this present moment in time.
This prayer sets the intention for our planet to evolve through crisis rapidly, returning to wholeness, health, balance; internal and external harmony quickly. And I affirm my body and mind remain steadfast on the glory of the divine unfolding and blooming all around me. I declare my family, community, country and world grow together as one family sharing resources and loving compassion. Hearts are uplifted seeing our world healing as one; nurturing ourselves and others to the best of our abilities.
Grateful that this life unfolds perfectly, I thank the helpers and responders, and all of us that up-level the universal consciousness with our spiritual practices.
And so it is. Amen.

Listening from the Heart
And so it is the body mind and spirit of my being. There is no spot where God is not in around through and as me. This is true of all life, for all beings. I am inseparable from its boundless love, infinite intelligence and power. There is no place where I end and the rest of this Divine Life begins. It is everywhere present enfolding every atom, every grain of sand, every soul, every aspect of Its creation. All is within the loving presence of the Beloved.
With this understanding I speak this prayer for about myself and all beings. I relax into the care and embrace of God. I know that I am never alone, God abides within around and as me. I allow this awareness to inform, comfort and guide me in however life is showing up. I breathe into the strength, kindness and love of God when I am afraid or triggered. I slow down and become thoughtful. Then I respond in ways that promote unity rather than divisiveness, whether this is in social media, conversation or my thoughts. I first heal my thinking, nurturing my heart and mind connection. I listen to others with an open heart, I soften and hear beyond apparent anger and blame. I may choose to say nothing. I welcome the personal and spiritual growth opportunity. I open to constructive connections and dialogue, especially when I disagree. I sense values that we agree on. I actively support a world that works for everyone. I am a work in progress and so is everyone else. I forgive myself and others when we falter.
I accept this shift in consciousness. With a grateful heart I let go and let God, confident is is already known and done in the heart and mind of the Beloved.
And so it is. Amen

Affirmative Prayer to Open to the Infinite Flow of Life During Shelter In Place
And It is right here, right now, in through and as all life. It is the source and activity of this prayer. And so it is what I am made of. I live and have my being within the One. As this is true for me it is true for all of life. I am made from and by the Divine and so am irrefutably connected to all beings, to all life. I am, through God's will, an individual outlet for divine expression. There is no place where I end and the rest of life and God begins.
From this understanding I speak my word for and about myself and all of life. I open to the infinite flow of the divine. I recognize that all diverse expressions of life are divine vessels, living in boundless potential for good, joy, generosity and creativity, how life is unfolding. I lean into the realigning of priorities where all of Life's stakeholders are valued equally. I deeply appreciate all medical, first responders and other essential workers and military who continue to serve and show up for all of us. I affirm the ever present God is with all, especially those who have lost family and friends. I affirm gratitude for the love and caring that is expressed in the daily course of events, by individuals, humanitarian groups and organizations that continue to give generously to those in need. I accept that infinite intelligence, love and kindness are everywhere present and available to all concerned. The current situation recognizes no boundaries as the world collaborates and share solutions and resources. I rejoice in the generosity, dedication and ingenuity expressed in my community and throughout the world. I claim and affirm growing patience as I and others abide by the shelter in place order and physical distancing, as humanitarian consciousness grows. I recognize God is everything, God is infinite intelligence and therefore science that is 100% available to inform government agencies, local, national and world leaders and advisors.
I rest in this awareness. I am grounded in this spiritual truth. I let go and let God, confident it is already known and done in the heart and mind of God.
And so it is. Amen

Affirmative Prayer for Rising Up
There is the Creator, the Divine Architect of all life, the loving Mother Father God everywhere present. It is the substance, foundation and lifting up of all life, the one Spirit and Truth of being, creating and birthing anew in each moment, rising up infinitely.
It is the source and sustenance of my life. I am a place where God shows up, an individual expression of It, here through the love, power and intelligence of the Beloved. As this is true for me, it is true for all. No being, no part of creation, no thing is ever separate from this truth. All is at home in the One.
I speak this prayer for and about myself and all life. I accept God's infinite boundless Goodness in the appearance of all situation, condition and circumstance. I recognize this opportunity for spiritual growth as I rise above and see beyond preconceived notions, limiting attitudes and habits. I welcome a growing heartfelt connection and compassion for all humanity, all life. I look within for what is being called forward to shift in my consciousness. I realize I am born anew in each moment through the grace of God, and give to others according to my natural gifts. I am kinder and more forgiving with myself and others. I allow myself to be raised up and guided by God's infinite Good and Intelligence. Healing is Truth revealing in every aspect of life--- in body, mind and spirit.
With gratitude I realize this spiritual truth. It is already known and done before these words were spoken.
I let go and let God.
And so it is. Amen.

Affirmative Prayer for Vitality and Rebirth
As God is in all places fully expressing, it is right here in each breath I breathe. Every cell in my body is an expression of the One. Every thought I think is the mind of God expressing through me. Every beat of my heart is the rhythm of Divine Spirit flowing thru me. And so as this is the animating force expressing in my life, it is also true for and about anyone who has eyes to read these words and feel this prayer.
The vitality and rebirth that is expressing in this season of spring is evidence of God's regenerative spirit. I awaken and become more conscious, and embrace the full expression of rebirth and renewal that I see happening in nature as my own. I affirm this is happening in my life and in the life of this spiritual community that is the Center for Spiritual Living. Just as the birds are gathering all they need to create a safe home for the expectancy of new life, I am trusting that we all feel the calling into a deepening of faith to trust that regeneration is right here. I lean into life and it’s ability to come alive, to release what is no longer needed, to allow space for the miracle of new life, new love, more peace, deeper gratitude for the abundance of beauty, friendship, family, and joy. I feel and experience the expression of light, that is known by some as the Christ Consciousness, during this time of celebration for spring time as deep calling unto deep brings me into a state of peace and quiet expectancy of the good that is in the world. I claim and affirm this for all beings in all forms. I see it moving from the four corners of my own heart out into the four corners of the world to unite us all together as one is this truth.
May you join in the celebration of gratitude this call into my awareness. Oh blessed be the changing season. I give thanks for the song of the bird that awakens the song of my heart. I am humbled in love and thanksgiving for this celebration of a new way of being in the world. May we share the good news each in our own way.
And so, as I bring these words to an end, I rest assured that all is well on the unseen side of life and allow myself to feel this blessing as I release and let these thoughts fly into the law of Divine Mind. Breathing in, relaxing and knowing the answer is "yes my beloved", I let it be. And so it is.

Easter Prayer
This One is the essence of all that I am, of all people everywhere. Each individual is a specific expression where God reveals and experiences Itself. The mind, the heart and the life of God are expressed within me, every particle of my body is embodied by the loving, living essence of God.
Understanding the great Truth the loving nature of God, I can confidently proclaim that the perfect love of the Creator always responds for the good of It's creation. That means that God responds to me. As I am confident that God is eternal for It is all powerful, I understand that God cannot be thwarted or destroyed. Therefore, every apparent death is meant with resurrection for the energy that is God cannot be destroyed. I proclaim that whatever loss I have experienced is transformed into new life. Every fear I hold, I release into love trusting in transformation. The great symbolism of the resurrection of Jesus is a promise for all.
In this profound realization I proclaim, “hallelujah, I am risen.” Hallelujah, the world rises and my heart rejoices.
From this place of joy, I release this prayer into the powerful, loving Law of the supreme love of God that supersedes even natural law.
And so it is, Hallelujah, Amen.

I Accept my Grace
God. Beloved. Infinite Wisdom. Divine Presence. Creative Intelligence. Universal Spirit. Eternal Architect. The Grand Maker. The Farmer of universes: the Planter of all seeds- large and small; far and wide. All has been designed by the Thing Itself. The Original. It is Infinite Source. It is the cause of every galaxy, every solar system, every star, every planet, ecosystem, animal, bacteria, atom, fiber. It is the tides, gravity, breeze; everything seen and unseen, all that is know and yet to be known. It is the ebb and flow of all existence. Equally present in every space and time. Providing Itself to and through all of Its creation in the form of peace, love, joy, and purpose. Rich and lavish Goodness is abundantly provided to each perfect being.
Each and every creation of the Divine is intentional and integral expression of Life. I know this is equally true for myself. I know it is true for the food I eat, the water I drink, the air I breathe. So this next breath, I draw a little deeper and hold it a little longer. I turn my awareness inward. I notice the Goodness that is within my body right now. The air within my lungs, the beating of my heart, the blood flowing through my veins, every cell in my body, every fiber of my being, every piece of knowledge I've learned, every emotion I have yet to feel, every thought that passes my mind. Everything about my existence is a perfect divine expression in action. Always. Everything -without hesitation or exception.
And as my emotions and thoughts form my words, I speak absolute Truth right now: I am an intentional and integral expression of Divine Life. I am royal by nature: A true masterpiece. I live and breathe purpose. I allow Goodness to pour through me in the most natural and practical ways. I lace joy, beauty, and love through my words, thoughts, tasks, and chores. I share sacredness in every direction with smiles, helping hands, and laughter. I bless my community with grace, empathy, and compassion. I humbly embrace the divine invitation, and I allow my cup to flow over with abundant opportunities. I accept my grace. I accept my beautiful humanity.
I celebrate my Divine Goodness. I allow joy and gratitude to fill my body. I revel in the eternal bounty that fills my heart. I humbly delight in my practical Goodness.
Knowing God is Good. I release these words into the Law that always provides a sublime yes. It is done well.
