Our Lives are Blessed
As everything is made up of this essence of life, it infills me with its intelligence and wisdom. And this is true for all beings and all matter; every atom is filled with this dynamic intelligence, that same power that holds the planets in their place. Each one of us is a unique expression of this life and one in the source from which all life comes.
This prayer then is for an easy flow of this Life Force through all of existence. Every circumstance, every relationship, every experience is infilled with the mystery and aliveness of this Presence. So, I assert that in our lives we are each blessed in and by this Creative Power. It brings intuition, ideas, and guidance that we can tap into simply by resting in Its presence.
Gladly knowing that this powerful Presence, Life itself, is a force for good in our lives that we can use, I rest in the gratitude of this understanding.
Acknowledging that all is truly well, I release this prayer to the Divine Power that is already working on making it so. So, I let it be now knowing it is done. And so it is.

The Highest and Greatest Good
And so I am made of this divine stuff. It flows in, around, through, and as me, connecting me to all that is. I am an individual expression of It, a vessel and instrument of the Divine. It is my very breath and heartbeat. I am inseparable from Its divine nature.
From this awareness I declare a fervent, unbound, willingness to awaken more fully to this spiritual truth, just as life shows up and just as it does not. I soften my edges, remembering I am immersed in this one life, a part of all that is. I surrender any thought, idea, or belief in lack, limitation, separation, or fear, making space for the highest and greatest good to flow through me into life around me.
With a grateful heart I celebrate this shift in consciousness. I am assured this word is known and done in the mind of God.
And so it is. Amen.

Compassion in Every Heart
In this vast universe there is one powerful presence: call it life—it is the one creative process that is showing up as all of life, all of the time. And in this life is the human species embodying this perfect Spirit, equipped fully to feel peace, and love, and joy, comfort, and all the range of emotions.
This human experience is such a gift to be here. And in the wonder of this amazing realization that this creative power is within me and within each one of us, I affirm this prayer of wonder for all that is. And I sense that all is well as these emotions that arise in this human condition wash over the body in response to human conditions, world conditions, and internal dialogues.
So I declare that there is a compassion that builds within each heart, allowing this emotional expression of Spirit to flow in, through, and out again, releasing into that compassionate loving Spirit anything needing to be let go.
In gratitude for feelings, mindfully self compassionate with emotions that arise, I let it all be in the understanding that this loving Spirit is taking care of all of it. And I release it and I let it be.
And So It Is.

Kindness, Charity and Compassion
Recognizing this One Consciousness, this allness of being, in around, through, is Life Itself, eternally unfolding and manifesting as Love. It is the Infinite, Compassionate Source and Sustainer; the Mother and Father of the seen and the unseen, the known and the unknown, enfolding all within Its embrace.
And so as I am made of this divine substance and abide within this One Presence, connected to all that is, I have no edges; there is no place that I end and the rest of Life begins. I am irrevocably within this One Body, Mind, and Spirit of beingness.
I breathe into this sweet awareness and allow any imagined walls or barriers to crumble and melt away. I am sister and brother and steward to all life. I remember that what transpires anywhere effects all of life. I affirm this in my daily spiritual practice, it informs my thoughts, prayers, words, and actions. I develop greater kindness, charity, and compassion for myself and others. I cherish and celebrate Life in all Its forms and diversity.
I am so blessed and grateful to be here in this One Life, for the opportunity to be the best version of myself, to support the same for others, and all expressions of life.
I am assured that this prayer is already known and done in the mind of God.
And so it is. Amen.

Everyday Wonder
There is one life living itself as everything in this manifest world. Its nature is love and peace and wholeness and wonder. This amazing life lives itself unconditionally through all of its creation. I am a unique expression of it just as everyone else is.
Each one of us a divine embodiment of this one living spirit. In this prayer I affirm that everyday miracles show up regardless of circumstance, regardless of conflict, regardless of appearances. This amazing life is available in all of its beauty, wonder, and amazing delight to all of us, all the time.
So tuning into this one living power that has created all that we know and all that we don’t know yet, I declare that all is well in the mind of God and showing up now in our lives as everyday wonder and amazing grace.
In loving gratitude, I release this prayer, understanding that it is already being made so by this powerful mind of God.
And So It Is
Amen

Forgiveness
There is only one life. That life is God’s life. That life is perfect. That life is this life right now. It is in, around and through all that is, the seen and the unseen, the known and the unknown, creating anew from itself in each moment. It's divine nature is at the center of the formed and the yet to be. It is the eternal heart, body, mind and Spirit inherent in all that is. It enfolds all in Its boundless love and intelligence, always acting on behalf of it's creation for the highest and greatest good.
And so this one life is the source of my beingness. I am created, supported and sustained by this all loving and powerful, everywhere present Mother-Father God. I am inseparable from it, connected through it to all of life. There is no place where I end and God’s life begins.
From this understanding, I speak this prayer for and about myself and all of Life. I take time to reflect, contemplate and meditate each day. I practice self-forgiveness where I have negative self judgements. I stay curious about what unmet need I may be trying to fulfill. I take a moment to feel sadness, and remorse, rather than guilt and shame. I breathe out and let it go. I recognize I can only give to others that which I have first given to myself. I affirm and accept this spiritual truth for all beings. I celebrate the presence of the divine in how life is showing up, and ways that it is not.
Thank you, life!
I rest in this shift in consciousness that is known and done before this prayer was spoken. I let go and let God. And so it is. Amen

Daily Spiritual Practice
It follows that I am created from and by this infinite source and sustainer, an integral part of this one life, connected to all that is through the will and power of the Divine. I am inseparable from creation and my Creator. God breathes through me and beats my heart.
As this is true for me this is true for all life. From this awareness I speak this prayer for and about all beings, all creation. There is no spot where Mother-Father God is not, It being the source and inception of all that is. I lean into Its accepting and supportive presence in my everyday activities, in what I consider ordinary and extraordinary circumstances, conditions and situations. With this understanding, I know that God is my ballast amidst turmoil and uncertainty, and celebrates with me in times of appreciation and gratitude. I recognize and share my gifts. My daily spiritual practice of prayer, contemplation and meditation deepen and support me in however life is showing up. I journal, meet with my practitioner, walk in nature, practice yoga. I am comforted and supported by activities that help me be present with how life is showing up.
I rest in gratitude for these spiritual truths. I am absolutely assured that this prayer is already known and done in the mind of God.
I let go and let God.
And so it is.
