A New Year


In 2016, The Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa will be joining many other Spiritual Living Centers in the endeavor to focus on, talk about and visualize the key ideas in the The Global Vision

The Affirmative Prayer Library will be posting prayers that are in alignment with this vision as well as other topics. We hope you enjoy them.

Many Blessings to you and your loved ones. 

Here is a prayer adapted from Ernest Holmes

Believing in the liberty, security, and self-expression for all, I offer this, my prayer for our world:
I believe that Divine Intelligence governs the destiny of our world and her people, directing the thought and the activity of all who guide her affairs. I believe that success, prosperity, and happiness are the gifts of freedom and are the divine heritage of everyone. In my mind’s eye I see that it is divine guidance that enlightens the collective mind of the people of planet earth, causing each person to know that economic security may come to all without the loss of either personal freedom or individual self-expression. I believe that no one can be led to accept that freedom must be surrendered in order to insure economic security for all.

I trust that the All-Knowing Mind contains the answer to every problem which confronts our world and that every leader is directed by their Creator—and has access to the knowledge of a complete solution to every problem. This inner connection guides each one to act upon this knowledge to the end that abundance, security, and peace shall come to all.

My prayer is that spiritual democracy shall endure, guaranteeing to everyone in this country personal liberty, happiness, and self-expression.

And so it is.

Affirmative Prayer for Perfect Health

Affirmative Prayer for Perfect Health

Wholeness and well-being are the natural state of all life. The Creative Intelligence that has created the universe is fully present everywhere, all the time.

This natural wholeness and well-being is my natural state. The Creative Intelligence that has created the universe is fully active in me.

I accept that perfect health is here and now expressing in me and in my body. Every tissue, fiber and cell of my being is in perfect balance and is functioning at its highest level. I am whole. I am well.

I open to accept this truth fully in my life and I am grateful. It is a quiet joy that rises up in me with this realization

I trust the receptive nature of the Divine to respond in full to this my word. I let it be.

And So It Is

Affirmative Prayer for Patience and Acceptance

 Patience and Acceptance

Everything is Divine.  The Presence of one almighty, invincible, infallible Spirit fills all life with It's own essence.  This essence is perfect love, unconditional love.  This essence is constant in love and constantly expressing love.

The essence of Spirit is what gives me life.  I am the presence of this One within a unique design I know as self.  There are many forms, many “selfs,” many unique designs and all are expressions of the One.

Knowing this to be true, I recognize this Presence within all people, all life.  I understand that every face I encounter is the face of Spirit, the face of God.  I know the Great Spirit that I call God loves It's own creation.  Spirit/God is patient to let every unique design grow and evolve at whatever pace it chooses for its self.  The Spirit's love for all the selfs of It's creation is infallible, perfect, constant. 

This is the love that lives within me. The patience of God abides within my own soul. This great love is the source of my patience as I allow the world to be just what it is.  I accept the truth of my own evolution, I am expanding.  The realization of my own goodness and value increases every moment. I eternally progress in awareness of my own divine nature and the divinity of all people of all life.  Evolution may appear as chaos, loss and even disaster, but the Truth of life’s Divine nature endures as the perfection of Life reveals Itself.  I see that Truth now, I see beyond appearances to the perfect gift of Love and eternal infinite Life.

The love and approval Spirit has for It's own creation is alive within me and fills my heart with hope as I release the word into the Law of divine Principle, which always responds with the affirmative action of Love.

For so it is.

Affirmative Prayer for Family Relationships

Family Relationships

Spirit is without beginning and has no end. It is the eternal action of love expressing in everything always present. This Presence is the light of wisdom, the glory of life, the sweet comfort of love and the hand in which all things are held.

I am held in this divine hand and I am the substance of it. I am created by Love, for Love, as Love. This is the truth of my being, Spirit is present right here and right now as me. I know this to be my truth and the truth for everyone, everywhere, always.

This knowledge fills me with the courage to be love in every circumstance with all people. I know my family to be Spirit present with me in human form. I am filled with peace and patience because I know that the Presence of Spirit cannot be obliterated or diminished by any action. There are many lessons for me to learn from my family and I embrace them. I accept what comes knowing that all comes from the creative and eternal action of love. I release my fears, I allow my family to make their own choices. I trust that all paths lead us to the love that created us. I do not put my trust in my own understanding but in the infinite, eternal love of Spirit. 

This trust fills me with joy, and I rest with peace in my heart as I release the word into the creative hand of the loving Law.
  
And so it is.
