Prayer for the New Year

Prayer for Acceptance and Opening by Bette Smith

There is only one thing going on here and now and that is God.  In every moment, in every action and circumstance, God is.  God is in the winds and rain, and in the dark of night and the same in the light of day.  God is everywhere, all around, always available, all knowing, all powerful, all wise.  God is love and peace, joy and wisdom, eternally, now and always.

I am a creative expression of God.  I am love and peace; I am wisdom and joy now and forever.  I am the light of God, showing up here and now and relaxing into this knowing.  And what is true for me is absolutely true for each one of us.  Each one is a creative expression of God, filled to overflowing with love and wisdom, joy and freedom.  Each one of us blessed with a love that has no end.    Equal in God’s love, each of us has at our center a wellspring of peace and ease, love and power.            

From this place of unification, I now claim a blessing for this New Year.  I claim a gentle and easy opening to expand into my understanding of that unifying force of God.  With open arms, I declare a welcoming to what is yet to be.  Although the end is not in sight, God lights my way one step at a time and the path is easy and clear.   I bravely take that first step now and claim my intention for 2013 realizing the power and love of God within. 

With great gratitude for this time of opening and expansion, I allow a shift of consciousness.  I am grateful and thankful, and I feel so blessed.

Feeling confident in the power of my word, I release it into the law and let it be.  

And so it is. Amen.

Affirmative Prayer for Peace of Mind

Affirmative Prayer for Peace of Mind

There is One Mind, it is the Mind of the Living Spirit Almighty. And that Mind is ever-present and all-knowing. It is the very source of peace. The peace of the Living Spirit expresses Itself through all beings everywhere. It is the ground of all being, fully available to all in every moment. The nature of life itself is deep and powerful peace.

Because the One Mind is everywhere, all the time, I know that it is my mind. I am one with the perfect mind of the Living Spirit. All of the attributes of the Spirit are alive in me, including perfect peace. As this is true for me, it is true for all beings everywhere; the deep and powerful peace of the one Mind, the Living Spirit Almighty is our very nature.

Therefore, I accept by means of this Affirmative Prayer, Peace of Mind for us all. In this time and in this season, I claim that peace is at the heart of all of our relationships. Peace is at the heart of all of our activities. This peace of the Living Spirit within cannot be disturbed or disrupted in anyway. It is a deep and powerful peace and it supports clear thinking, loving communication and right action. So I open to accept it fully in my life and in the life of anyone who chooses this peace.

I am so grateful for the way peace of mind is mine to claim right now. I feel its power moving in me and I give thanks.

I trust that this Spiritual truth will continue to make itself known to me throughout the coming season, and I rest in the power of this Word to manifest the highest good for all beings everywhere.

Prayer for Successful Surgery

Prayer for Successful Surgery

There is one perfect healing Power, one supreme Intelligence that is at the heart of all of life. It is the rhythm of the seasons and the patterns of nature.  It is the complete order and  interconnectedness that expresses through all of existence. It is wholeness and well-being. It is love and peace and joy and beauty. It is the light of this one Power and Intelligence that guides every activity into the best and highest outcome. It is success.

All of us, everyone of us, are fully united with this one Power and Intelligence. Its life is our life, Its perfect order and  wholeness are imprinted on our very souls. We are each one with the all in all. The love, peace, joy and beauty of the universal Life are present in each of us.

So from this place of unity I accept on behalf of anyone facing surgery, a complete and absolute success. I accept wholeness and well-being. I declare that the perfection of the one Power and Intelligence are fully active in this person’s body. All the people who are involved in the medical and surgical care are divinely guided and participate graciously in the success of this surgery. I accept the perfect healing for body, mind and spirit. I affirm that love prevails, and where love is peace, joy and beauty also reside. 

I  rest in the gratitude that this realization has brought to me. What a blessing to remember this truth, that successful surgery is in the hands of the One. I appreciate the power of these words to manifest the highest good for anyone who accepts them as the truth.

I now, with a sense of completion, turn this prayer over to that which has in its nature the ability to make it so—the One Life.

A Prayer for Balance

A Prayer for Balance

There is just One; one Mind, one Heart, one Divine Infinite Source from which all things flow. And this Source is abundant, overflowing with goodness. It is the perfect harmony that coordinates every aspect of life. It is the balance between dark and light, between giving and receiving. This one Source is the giver of life, the creator of life and it is active in every moment, in every person and in every situation. Its nature is peace, balance, harmony and joy. 

Because this One Divine Source is infinite, it is everywhere all the time. It is here in me, as me. It is all that I am. Every attribute of the One Divine Source is alive and available to me. Its nature is my nature. The peace, balance, harmony and joy of the Divine One live in me and in everyone I am in contact with. 

I accept therefore, that my life is unfolding perfectly. All of my activities are in balance. I am both energetic and restful. I am active and I am relaxed. I listen well and I speak when it is time to speak. I am an great giver and I am a great receiver. I am  a perfect conduit for the love of the Divine. I take time to sit in quiet communion with the inner intelligence of my soul and I come to know my deepest truth. I release all hurry and worry and fall in step with the natural rhythm of life. My life is in balance; both inner and outer in alignment with my best self. I accept for myself peace, balance, harmony and joy. 

I am so grateful for the new awareness of balance in my life. I give thanks for the guidance that leads me to make good choices. I appreciate the natural order of life.

I release this affirmative prayer into the receptive aspect of the Divine Mind, knowing that it is already so.

And So It Is.

A Prayer of Thanksgiving

A Prayer of Thanksgiving

The One Loving Spirit that continuously creates life out of Its own generous nature, is fully present in everyone and everything. It is the infinite, eternal intelligence of this One Loving Spirit that guides all of life into its perfect expression. It is the all-knowing, abundant, healing power that brings wholeness and goodness to every situation. 

I am, we all are, a unique expression of the One Loving Spirit. I am, we all are, a perfect channel for the love of Spirit.

So today, I express my gratitude, appreciation and thanksgiving for the gift of life itself. Life, the perfect expression of the Divine, is the source of all my good and I recognize and realize Its power to make me whole over and over again. In fact, I have always been whole. So I accept for myself a greater realization of that wholeness in every aspect of my life. I realize this wholeness not only in how I see what is in front of me, but how I interact with and contribute to the life around me. I am an essential part of the perfect expression of the Living Spirit, and as such I express gratitude and appreciation to those around me. Gratitude and thanksgiving become a way of life for me. I open to the fullness of life and trust the universe to reveal more good every day.

With this grateful heart then, I release this prayer in faith and confidence that it will fully manifest in my life.

Honest, Sincere, Kind Communication

Here is a prayer for honest, sincere, kind communication. Enjoy.

There is one Life, the Life of the Divine Spirit. And this Life is love, and peace. It is  harmony and well-being.

I am one with this Life, the Life of the Divine Spirit. All of the qualities and attributes of the Divine One live in me, through me and as me.

Therefore, I accept for myself an open heart, a willingness to be visible and vulnerable. I accept a tender recognition of my goodness and of my areas of growth. I am honest and kind with myself and that naturally extends to my communication with others. I speak and write and even think in a soft and kind way. When I am upset, I take time to inquire within, to uncover false ideas and to realign myself with the spiritual Truth. I breath deeply and pause before speaking. I easily forgive myself and I easily forgive others. My communication is honest, sincere and kind. My thought atmosphere is filled with the harmony of the Divine Spirit. I claim that the universe itself is supporting me in my efforts to communicate lovingly. My highest good is at hand and I am blessed to receive it.

I give thanks for this new awareness of the Truth and for all the blessings that unfold from its  realization.

Feeling confident in the power of this word to shift my experience, I release it into the creative mind of the Spirit and allow it to manifest fully in my experience.

And So It Is
