Abundance, Generosity and Joy

Abundance, Generosity and Joy

There is one abundant Source in this universe. This Great Spirit is filled with unending goodness. It is all-knowing, all-giving, all-providing, all-loving. It is endless possibility, unending peace, and boundless comfort and security. Spirit is abounding abundance!

Knowing this, I know, too, that I am one with this powerful Spirit. I am enveloped in this love, this generosity, this fulfilled and contented joy. Spirit’s amazing freedom is in my heart and I am cloaked in Its infinite abundance in every cell of my being.

I claim this generosity of Spirit, this wondrous abundance of love and freedom as my life. It radiates peacefulness and contentment throughout me. I am free to be me! I am free to choose my schedule, choose my “rhythm”, choose my joys. My heart is filled with giving – giving of love, giving of time, giving of money – to all who need it, and my body is filled with endless energy to give and give and give. While giving, I am content knowing that my every need – and my family's and my pets’ – are being easily met and that we want for nothing. I accept that all is joyously, happily, healthfully well.

 I am humbly grateful for this knowing and all its goodness, and find peace in this gratitude.

I release this prayer with complete understanding, fully aware that it is done. I know that unlimited abundance is what is.

And so it is

Prayer for Shelter for All Immigrants

Prayer for shelter for all immigrants

God is and God is all there is expressing in the midst of every moment, every situation, everywhere as a divine presence of love, wholeness, warmth and protection. God is the essence of peace, the ground of all being which is right now surrounding every being with light and receptivity.

This light shines forth into every moment of experience as the absolute allness which surrounds each being with safety and shelter. As God is ever-present, It must be the essence of every individual and every individual experience.

Claiming this as an unchangeable truth, I accept that the immigrants of the world are received with welcome, invitation, understanding, compassion, appreciation and love.  I accept that each being, no matter where they started their journey or what new land they lay down their burden of fear and loss, finds a perfect place which shelters them, allowing their hearts to be filled with hope, their minds to be filled with thoughts of peace.

I especially turn my prayers of peace and safety to the children that they may open to being known as precious to the world, embraced, fed, clothed and uplifted in every moment.  May each one find their value and worth as our future, constantly expanding with courage, creativity and strength.

I further claim that each person who opens their heart, their doors or their coffers to offer shelter, sustenance and invitation is deeply blessed as an expression of God's love, warmth and healing.

I claim this prayer as the word of Truth which has already begun the process of manifestation into form and experience, roof and floor, water and food, hope and trust.

For this opportunity to speak and witness a better, expanding, wholeness of life for the multitudes we call refugees, I am thankful and feel a lightness within my heart.

 Accepting this as done I release this prayer and claim it as so.

AND SO IT IS...

Generosity of Spirit

Generosity of Spirit

Divine creator, that which animates all of life, You are the One. All of life comes from and returns to this Spirit. Call it God, Love, Holy Light-by what ever name, It is the all in all.

I am an individualized expression of the one as is everyone and everything seen and unseen. Spirit is creating through me, as me, by me, of me.

Spirit gives to all and to all alike. There is no separation in the mind and heart of God, no judgment, no withholding. And so I recognize there is no limit to the generosity of this creative spirit.  Spirit is always giving itself through this experience we call life. The sun rises and freely gives it light to all the world; the air we breathe has no limit. There is nothing I can do that will stop nature from giving itself to me.

And this is the nature of the Divine One. As I open my heart and focus my thoughts on the giving spirit behind life, I recognize the generosity of Spirit and see that I am filled with Light and Love. I am immersed in a beautiful world that is abundant in all ways. Be it money, relationship, right livelihood, peace of mind or any other possible worry, I now return to this thought of abundant generosity and know that all is well. I am a place where Spirit shows up. I recognize that I am also generous of spirit in all my affairs. I have more than enough to give and I open my heart and allow myself to receive.

I breathe and relax. I let these word fill me with the peace and ease that gratitude brings. I graciously give thanks to the One.

And I just let go. I release this word knowing it is done. And so it is.

One Human Family

There is one human family that shares this planet.  Although each human is unique, we share the same divine essence of Spirit.  This brilliant, creative intelligence, many call God, exists everywhere in full measure.  It works in mysterious and beautiful ways to move life toward its greatest expression.  The essence of Spirit is love, and its direction is freedom of expression.  Life is filled with evidence of God’s grace on this planet, from the beauty and power of the seasons, to the spontaneous smile of a baby. 

Just as this brilliant intelligence is everywhere present, it therefore expresses as me and each member of this human family.  Each of us linked together yet sometimes very different in temperament, personality, and life choices.

Thus, this word of prayer is intended to support family life in all of its activities and endeavors.  Taking care of the inner conversation that is stimulated by family members, thoughts can be directed to more gentle ways of viewing ourselves and situations.  Remembering to lean into the flow of spirit as it takes care of all life; there is a sense of calm and well-being that evolves.  And remembering that everyone has this divine wisdom guiding and supporting them and each can live their own life accordingly, I am grateful to relax knowing that all it well.

Glad that family creates bonds of acceptance, forgiveness, and caring, allowing each member to be exactly who they are,

 I release this prayer now to that spiritual activity that has worked out all the details perfectly.  

And so it is. Amen

Affirmative Prayer about Wholeness

An Affirmative Prayer about Wholeness

There is a higher Power; it is the highest Power, the Creator of the Universe. This higher Power is eternal; it’s an infinite Source of energy; a creative energy that flows through all Its creations.  It is intelligence, infinite wisdom, and eternal love. This Power is perfection; this Power is God.  It created all matter, the stars and planets, water, food, and all life on earth.  It is the Father and Mother of all men and women. It is the Spirit of love.

This loving Spirit is omnipresent. Its physical form is the Universe.  It is Nature Itself.  It is my own Self, my body, my mind, my love.  I am the undeniable truth of Its existence and the proclamation of Its omnipresence. My life is the testimony of the Almighty, and this is the Truth!  This Truth reaches everyone; they are part of the one infinite Source of energy. Everyone: their mom, their sister, their dad, and their friends are blessed with It because everyone is part of It. It moves and flows through every one of us.  I realize and know that in our essence we are one with God.  So, I declare that our essence is perfection and our love is eternal.

This perfect Essence flows freely on earth, through every being; woman, and man, old and young, black and white, tall and short. It has no borders and It never will. It flows in the United States of America and every person in America is a perfect manifestation of the Spirit.  The Spirit creates, the Spirit innovates, the Spirit discovers, the Spirit loves.  It manifests Itself as wisdom in people and leaders.  The Spirit is perfect, and it makes no mistakes.  Our awareness of It evolves and improves perpetually.  Its power is love.  And I declare that love is the Power that unifies everyone. Love is the power that forgives. Love is the key that elevates our consciousness and awareness of the truth.

The wisdom and truth of this express in me as joyful appreciation for the life we share with our friends, families, loved ones, and with those we have yet to meet.

So, I release this word to the Law of Mind, and it reaches everyone and everything which is part of the Wholeness we call God.   And so it is.
