Love Divine


Here is another prayer about Love from a friend

There is one infinite presence and power of Spirit, one love divine, one eternal life; everywhere present, all wise, all knowing, all powerful.  Spirit is light, peace and joy.  Spirit is the source of all and that source is unlimited, and ever expanding.  In each moment Spirit is creating anew. 

Each one of us is immersed in this power and presence of Spirit.  Each one of us is whole, complete and perfect in Spirit.  The eternal love of Spirit is the love within me.  The steadfast peace of Spirit is the peace within me.  I am an expression of Spirit and I am joy and peace.  The life of Spirit is the life within me.  The source of all good is the source of good for me.  I am love.

I am guided by Spirit’s wisdom in this moment and every moment.  There is nothing in me that can stop the love of Spirit.  I express joy and peace and love in each word that I speak and each thought that I think.  I let go of all hurts and shame with grace and ease.  I shake off the old ways of blame and find that place of strength within me to begin again.  I let go of what others think about me and align with the love and peace within me.  I allow the Divine Love to act through me now shattering the illusion of suffering.  As I recognize the Love of God within me, I trust my clear guidance and allow myself to be healed.  I allow for more good to show up in my life.  I allow my inner wisdom to show me the way to live fully and act lovingly with compassion and grace.  As I align with Spirit, I take up the mantle of Love and break through any barriers that impede the Love of Spirit.

With deepest gratitude for this time of remembering the truth, that Love is the only power, I rest.  I let go and I let it be.  And so it is.  Amen.

Love is Eternal


Love is Eternal

There is one Love, one Power, one eternal Presence that exists everywhere all the time. It is the source of life itself. Its nature is peace and wholeness and beauty. It is the one creative energy that gives rise to all of existence. It is the one true Reality.

And because it exists everywhere all the time it exists in me and in each and every being everywhere. The love of Spirit lives in each one of us, and this divine love is eternal.

So I accept on behalf of myself and each and everyone of us that we are made up of this divine, eternal Love. It is the very fabric of our being and it is woven into every experience and every relationship. I realize once again that love never dies, and that any love we have ever felt is alive in us. So I am remembering to let myself be consoled by this truth. Even in times of loss and shock and sadness there lives in me this flame of eternal love. I recognize that the peace of the Spirit lives in me and in each of us and this Peace cannot be disrupted by any event or situation. It is the clear light of the divine Spirit that is guiding me into perfect right thought and perfect right action as I navigate through the emotions of life. I am alive and I am well and I let myself be surrounded by loving people. I open to the subtle beauty that exists everywhere. I am patient and kind with myself and others. I am strong in my faith and I walk in peace as I know deep inside my soul that love is eternal.

I allow this beautiful truth to carry me to a feeling of goodness and gratitude. I allow myself to be lifted up by the activity of prayer and I dwell in the atmosphere of quiet joy.

As I release all ideas of making anything happen, I realize that it is the action of the Law of Spirit that responds to my hearts calling. And I let it be.

And So It Is

Clarity and Love

Here is a prayer by Melissa Phillippe

Clarity and Love

There is only one thing happening here. It is the Love of the Divine One. This infinite power is all that is. It is a power of love beyond my wildest imaginings. This energy of infinite love, truth and clarity creates all of the galaxies.

This is what breathes me. It is the breath. It is every dimension and every aspect of me. It is all that I am. And so it must be that I am infused with this infinite power of love. This is the reality of my being. This is the reality of every one reading these words now.

In this awareness, I understand that clarity lives within me, and within the reader of this prayer – clarity and love that bring with them the awareness of what is Truth. And so today I have faith that anything that is not the spiritual truth is recognized as such. Any thoughts that are not aligned with this reality and truth of Beingness Itself are seen as the misunderstandings they are. I invite any shifts in consciousness to take place that need to take place in order to bring an entirely new level of this clarity into being within the reader now. With this new level of understanding and clarity comes a deepening into alignment with Truth, the true essence of being. I understand that this realignment brings with it the possibility of walking in a whole new level of joy and celebration for this truth that is deeply known. I allow for this to bring with it a new level of ease in recognizing anything else, simply seeing the truth and releasing anything that is not this truth. It is a beautiful thing!

Grateful for this – for the transformation and the new level of clarity and love that is allowed to move more freely as a result – I give thanks.

I let this go, knowing that as I release it to the One that makes it so, it is done. And so I let it go, and I let it be.

And so it is.
Amen.

Harmony in Relationships

Harmony in Relationships

There is one infinite loving Presence that is at the center of life itself. Deep within and all around all that exists, this loving Presence guides and informs life with its powerful wisdom. Harmony is its nature. All of life responds to the warmth of its love.

It is the love of this divine Presence that lives its life through me, through each of us. I am, we are, love, wisdom and harmony finding its full expression.

I declare that I am, we are each guided by the wisdom of the loving Presence. All of our relations are an expression of the harmonious nature of the divine Spirit. Wherever forgiveness is needed it flows naturally. Each and every heart is freed by the action of love. Harmony abounds in every relationship. I accept this as the truth for each and every one, manifesting from this moment forth.

I celebrate the good that emanates from this awareness and embodiment of harmony in relationships.

I release this word into the law that makes it so.

And So It Is

Beyond any Appearance is Oneness

Here is a prayer by Brenda Kobrin

Beyond any appearance is Oneness


Life is infinite creative power--always loving, always whole, always creating new versions of itself in an infinite variety of forms, styles and expressions. Each one of Life’s unique expressions of Itself is whole, complete and perfect in and of itself, lacking nothing and eternally connected to the whole of creation. 

This includes me. This includes all of us.

I see many differences of expression, of thoughts, of ideas throughout the world and yet I know that we are all One. I see examples of fear and prejudice expressing in our world, and yet I know that the truth that lies beyond any appearance is Oneness. On our path of expansion we are experiencing an infinite variety of ways of being, each one adding our own flavor and tone to the richness of universal being. So, I honor the differences I see. I appreciate the contrasts. I accept for each of us a recognition of “the others” as US. We are One, we are Life, we are Infinite. We are each playing our unique roles in this amazing production. We recognize the other players as essential and important to the whole production of this amazing play called Life. 

I celebrate the recognition and I know that only good can flow forth from it with greater expressions of love and appreciation for all that is and all who play their part.

 So, with great gratitude I sit back and watch this unfolding of magnificence and I know that it is good. And so it is.

A Full and Healthy Life

Here is a prayer by Susan Robinson

A Full and Healthy Life
There is One Power and Presence in and through all Life. All that has been, is now and will ever be comes from this Divine God Source. It is the form and the unformed, the seen and the unseen. It is that which gives birth to galaxies and stars and the tiniest of atoms. This infinite universal intelligence is One, One Mind, One perfect and complete entity that is boundless. All that is, is made in its image, is illuminated with its light, is infused with its love, for God is the very essence of Love.

Right where I am and all that I am is God. Every breath, every heartbeat is the activity of this Divine Source within and as me. I am united with this Universal Presence in every way possible, all thought, all activity, all action. Through this union of oneness, through the Love that is Life I am connected to everything and everyone. As this is true for me, it is true for all.

So by means of this prayer I am remembering that the wholeness and the oneness of God does not know how to divide and that I can never be separate from the Power and Presence of God. I claim a release of any thought or idea that anything other than this is the truth of my being. I affirm that I am at home in the Universe, that my being is an integral part of a master plan and that my life is unfolding perfectly within it. I accept the One Mind of Spirit is the voice of intuition that guides my every step that illuminates the path of my experience and brings forth into my experience all that I need to lead a full and healthy life. Love is the motive power and inner impulsion that moves me forward into greater expressions of being.

In deep gratitude I celebrate this conscious shift in my awareness.

With full faith and confidence I release my word to the Law of God, trusting that this or something greater is already so. And so it is. Amen.

The Treasure within Despair


Here is a prayer by Suzanne Sackett

The Treasure with Despair

There is one Essence, one Life, one Spirit, one Good. It exists in all things without exception. It is in the sunlight and the shadow, in the warmth and bitter cold. It is present in the loving heart, and in the defended heart, in health or in sickness, in joy or in sadness, in life or in death. There is no separation. This Essence is all there is.

This Essence, this Life, this Spirit, this Good exists within me and as me, without exception. It is present whether I am acting consciously or not, whether I am living selflessly or not, whether I am connecting lovingly toward others or not. There is no separation. Essence is all I am.

I sense, respect, and cherish this presence of Spirit in me, in all people and all things. Deep within me, I embrace the gift, the treasure, within the despair I experience. Wherever I am, Spirit is.

I thank God, Spirit, Good for the presence of God, Spirit, Good within me and I celebrate each day, the deepening of my awareness of this oneness.

I release my word into the Divine Intelligence, to the Creative Law of Mind that listens, comprehends and ALWAYS, ALL WAYS, says "Yes".
