Giving Thanks

There is only one life. That life is God's life. That life is perfect. It is in through and as all. The creator, divine substance and sustainer of this thing called life. It is the very breath and word of this prayer.

It is the sum of my being. I am brought into existence through God's will, I am sustained by it, always at home in Its boundless love. I am inseparable from this substance of my being, from this unlimited good.

From this awareness I speak a prayer of appreciation and gratitude for myself and all of life, for what has been, what is now and what will be. I recognize a deepening trust in how life shows up and in ways that it does not. I accept the comfort and guidance of infinite intelligence and boundless love that always act on my behalf, for my highest and greatest good. I more easily listen to my intuition, the God in me that knows.I give thanks as I grow through life's situations, conditions and circumstance. Compassion and forgiveness inform my words and actions. Kindness is my nature. Strength and support express through me.

I am blessed and grateful to realize this spiritual truth.

I let go and let God, confident this prayer is already known and done in the heart and mind of the One. And so it is.

Affirmative Prayer for Peace in the Neighborhood

Peace in the Neighborhood

Peace is the very heart of God. It is the field upon which all life is created through the power of Divine Love. Peace is the harmonious nature of the action of Life. It exists in the deep stillness of the timeless presence of the One Mind. This peace is perfect, complete and infinite. Joy flows out of this perfect peace.

The peace that is at the heart of God lives in me and in my neighborhood. The power of Divine Love is always expressing its harmony through the action of my life, and the activity of my neighborhood. This peace is always present and cannot be disturbed or disrupted.

I therefor accept a greater experience of peace, a greater manifestation of joy. I declare that anything unlike peace dissolves and a pure and perfect peace rises up. I affirm that my neighborhood is filled with joy, harmony and well-being. All that needs to be restored is restored through the creative action of the One Mind.

I am grateful for this new found awareness of the existence of Peace in me and my neighborhood.

I let it be as it is so,

And So It Is

Affirmative Prayer for the Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa

Know with me that there is only one creative Power active in creation: the Living Spirit Almighty. This One is in and through all that is. It is the First Cause of all that is seen and all that is unseen. It is forever creating from itself, and I am part of its creative process.

Through my freedom, creativity, choice, and vision, I contribute to the direction that creation flows. As a steward of the Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa, I open my consciousness to the flow of the One Creative Principle through me. Its infinite wisdom guides me. Its dynamic love inspires me.

I remember that the work of our Center, which is an idea born in the mind of the Creative One, has already touched the lives of thousands of people and that the teaching, support, and ministries ripple out into the world, changing more and more lives for the good. I accept for our Center and its community a new wave of enthusiasm, engagement, and growth. I know that the Center is right now attracting the right people to join with the vision of our community and that a new light is being held up like a lamp to guide our way. This spiritual mind treatment functions like a magnetic field that draws us to each other, the established community with those who are already seeking a spiritual home. The consciousness that I am treating with is the same consciousness they are thinking into, wondering what is next for them.

I trust my heart’s direction when it comes to supporting, growing, and deepening our Center. I trust my intuitive connection to the Divine when deciding what is next to be done. I trust my vision to lead me with every step. I trust the Creative Process that is even now flowing through these words into form.

Having set forth this idea into Divine Mind in the form of this heart-felt treatment, I know it is time to release it and to accept the result as if it were already established. I rejoice in what I have done in mind, and I rejoice in what is to come as a result.

And so it is.
