Trust

That infinite presence and power of Spirit is everywhere. This power for good is the life-giving force behind all creation. This all knowing, wise Spiritual presence is the basis for all of life. All encompassing, and powerful beyond measure, Spirit is the rock and the root of all life. It is in the seen and unseen, and yet to be known. Spirit is all there is.

And since Spirit is everywhere, it is right here within me. It is my home base, my touchstone, and my well spring for all things good. Spirit within me is love, peace, harmony and beauty. It is that power for good that I can use. Each one of us, unique and individual. are one with this power of Spirit.

The recognition and unification with Spirit creates an opening in my consciousness. I affirm that my faith in the power for good sustains me today. I trust in this hidden force within me that guides me to make the best decisions for me today. I trust this love within me that allows me to be kind to myself and others. I trust this power for good within me today and every day for my greatest and highest good to be revealed.

With a heart full of gratitude for this faith and trust, I release my word into the law. And I let go and let it be. And so it is. Amen.

Self-Love

Knowing Spirit is to delve deeply into Its attributes and talents as evidenced everywhere we look—abundance demonstrated as seeds, oceans, planets; harmony demonstrates as the balance in the movement and rest of the tides and the seasons; love demonstrates as the interconnectedness and reciprocity between all elements of life; beauty is visible as the loveliness everywhere in nature. All of creation shows us who we are: creatures of the Creator.

I am the display of all these magnificent aspects of Source and so I can be nothing but adorable. Just as the Spirit that created me adores me in every aspect, I have no choice but to love what is adorable in myself, at my core. And from that view, all I see is loving and lovable.

In loving thanks, I celebrate this description of the loveable in myself and can enthusiastically let it go into the Law, where it is already manifest.

And so it is!
