Growing Awareness

There is only one life. That life is God’s life. That life is perfect. And that life is this life right now.

It is in, around, and through, and as my life. It is at the center of however life is showing up, Within all situations, conditions, and circumstances As this is true for me, this is true for each of us.

Therein lies my awakening, my spiritual growth with opportunities to notice when my ego steps in and I notice I am caught up in some attachment, separating myself from the wholeness of this one life. I breathe and I am grateful for this growing awareness. I am kind and compassionate with myself in this growing process. My ego is very sneaky and is the source of mirth as I learn to recognize its activity. As I know this for myself, I know it for all sentient beings. I cherish my connection to all life.

I rest in these truths and the Divine’s enfolding presence, love, and intelligence…however life is showing up, all are blessed and inseparable from one another, interconnected to all that is.

With gratitude, I let go and let God. And so it is.
Amen.

I Affirm Fearlessness

At the center and circumference of all, is the formed and the formless, the boundless Source and Sustainer of all that is. The movement and stillness, eternally acting on behalf of Its creation for the highest and greatest good , here is the great I Am.

And so I am created from and dwell within this one creative, loving power and presence, connected to all that is, inseparable from this one Life. As this is true for me, this is true for all. I am irrevocably part of this one Spirit, Power, and Loving Presence. This is the undeniable nature of my being.

From this understanding I lean into however life is showing up and however it is not, especially when it is confusing, challenging, and mysterious.  I affirm fearlessness while awakening a compassionate heart. I make friends with myself. I start where I am. I recognize and embrace the painful aspects of life as I develop genuine compassion for others. This daily inner work shifts my consciousness as it informs and guides me.

In gratitude I rest in this practice and uncaused joy, which is always available.

This prayer is known and done in the mind of God.

And so it is. Amen.

Affirmative Prayer for Awakening

Affirmative Prayer for Awakening

God is the source and sustenance of all that is, creating anew in each moment.  The Divine is everywhere present, never absent, enfolding all in Its wholeness. It includes the seen and the unseen, the known and the unknown. Nothing is outside of God.  This irresistible, unshakable force of love and compassion always acts on behalf of creation. It brings the invisible into form from Itself, yet is undiminished. Its holiness is in, through and as all life. Each sacred moment is the eternal present.

I am made by and in God’s image, a child of God. As this is true for me, it is true of all beings and all forms of creation.  There is no place where I end and the rest of God’s life begins. The Divine breathes through me and beats my heart. I am a unique expression of the Divine, a place where God shows up. I am inseparable from the One, within God’s wholeness, connected to all that is.

From this place of wholeness I speak this prayer for myself and all human beings, all creatures and our mother earth. In the midst of political, national and world events I choose to see this time as a time of awakening where cares and concerns are brought into the light. I recognize that the wholeness of Life is greater than the sum of Its parts. In that wholeness is the power to bring together in a new way that which temporarily appears fractured and in opposition to its divine Self. It begins with me. Where there is an experience of hate and fear, I am more willing to  love, and understand. I practice kindness in my daily activities. If injustice appears, I open to forgiveness and constructive action.   When I feel or witness separation I seek ways to experience and promote inclusiveness. I appreciate our common humanity and open to other perspectives.  If I am called to advocate I do so with goodwill and methods that bring about communication and grow understanding between all concerned. For our beautiful Earth and all that dwells therein, I trust the infinite intelligence of the Universe. Humans are part of the natural world. I affirm the answers and tools are present and available through the will of God, to preserve the balance, diversity and harmony of nature, and of humankind.

I am grateful for this shift in awareness, for the divine light that is kindled through this knowing. I trust that it is already so in the mind of God.

And so it is.  Amen

Awakening

Where humanity awakens to spiritual magnificence –

 All the power there is, all the love there is, all the wisdom there is – is here and now. It is always here now, for the presence of the Divine lives within and beyond space and time. Call it God, Spirit, Divine Intelligence; by whatever name, it is that limitless source of all, which lives without end, without limit.

 This magnificent Presence has brought forth all that is, expressing in and through every life with it’s grace and light. Spirit is unfolding, opening, blossoming, expressing as life itself. All of creation is a part of this grand dance of joy, of this song of Spirit.

 We are made of this divine stuff! Every life, every person has been brought forth from this infinite Source of wisdom and light; expressing all that Spirit is. God is the heart and soul of each one of us, moving through us, as us. We are the song that God sings, we are the blossoming of Spirit’s love and wisdom. This is our very life, our very breath.

 In this awareness I speak my word for and about all people. I affirm that we are spiritual beings, having a human experience and that we are opening into a greater awareness of this Truth. I declare that we are here on purpose and on time, to be the place where God shows up on this earth, discovering the Truth of who and what we are in God.

Spirit moves through us, inspiring and awakening humanity to our spiritual magnificence. As the human gives way to this Divine urge, which calls from within, humanity opens into the unlimited light of which we are made.

We are the love and power of Spirit made manifest. We are the blossoming of Spirit, knowing itself; in all of its wisdom and glory. Individually and collectively humanity awakens to the highest and greatest that lives within us. What a blessing and a miracle IT is!

 My heart is filled with joy and gratitude in this realization of truth! My cup “runneth over” in the bounty of Gods grace and I am filled with a deep appreciation for this awareness.

So I release my Word with faith and trust into the spiritual law, which always responds and gives back to overflowing. I just let go and watch as miracles occur.

And so it is.

Amen.

Harmony and Peace

The creator of the universe is divinely intelligent. It creates only from love. There is an orchestration and an organization that is completely harmonious and beautiful. All is known in the mind of God and life is is created in this magnificence. 

It is from this remembering that I recognize the symphony that is my life. My life is in total harmony and completely in tune with the Divine. As I know that is true for me I know it is true for all. There is nothing that is a mistake in this life. 

And so I speak a word from this place of recognizing harmony. And I claim that despite appearance of chaos in this world on this day, all is well on the unseen side of life. And so for each of us I open the channel that accesses Truth. And I am aware that faith prevails through chaos. I accept that the tools that each of us has to center ourselves and know the truth is at hand during these times. I feel blessed and grateful that each of us can use our faith to reconcile apparent chaos. And so I accept a divine awakening for each of us to practice our faith.

I give great thanks for this awareness and for remembering the way it works.

And I surrender this prayer into the law which then manifests it as our experience for the good of all and the harm of none.

 And I let it be done, and so it is
