Health

Our Beloved Source operates without hesitation, pouring forth Its magnificent energy in all directions as power and love. It is truth and beauty and goodness and so creates these constantly out of Itself.

That creative pouring forth moves through me as much or as little as I choose to align with it. Having seen its operation in my life. I trust in It and open myself to Its operation within me. Anything unlike It, I diligently turn away from and allow grace to dissolve it.

This truth of Life in-operation through me is the truth of Life’s operation through every created being and thing. The divine impulse toward wholeness, health, goodness, power, joy, and ALL good is the same in me and in everyone. Trust and confidence in this Source reveal those same qualities in everyone and everything on every level of existence. All life from the cosmic to the sub-atomic welcomes the out-picturing of Goodness as bodily health and wholeness with a vibration of joy.

Joyful and grateful for how Life works, for the privilege of co-creation with It, I gladly consign these true words to that aspect of God that is law.

I say they are so and so it is.

Peace

 Recognizing Divine Spirit, the Center of All Life, where at its core Peace resides in an unwavering and ever-expanding way, like the ripple of a pebble dropped in a pond. This invisible presence is the Divine Source of all life, it cannot be seen, but it can be felt in every act of Love & Peace, as the formless that gives rise to the formed. It is Eternal and Changeless, the Source of all Creation. It is the pattern of perfection in All, As All, Through All. There is nowhere this Peace is not.

I am one with this Power and this Presence right here, right now, as me, in me, and through me. Every part of my body is in harmony with the Living Spirit of Peace within me. Every thought, every action is aligned with Peace, it is the true nature of my Being. It is my Divine Center, the sustenance of my life, and the power behind my word. And just as I know this is the truth of my being, I know it is the truth of every being on this planet, for we are ONE, united and inseparable!

It is through the grace of God I speak my word for and about, each and everyone, knowing through the mere intention of this prayer, an opening for healing any separation within each of has taken place. I accept a greater awareness of Spirit for each falsehood we may feel and replaced with a greater knowing and trusting that we are never alone and that no matter how bleak or hopeless it may seem, God is always there lighting the way to a greater power within us that transcends any seeming challenge we may be experiencing. I claim and accept for each of us, an absolute knowingness that Peace resides in the hearts of every world leader and decision maker, and that ultimately Peace, Unity, & Truth reigns supreme!

It is with a grateful heart and joy filled expectancy I give thanks for the Shift in Consciousness I know has taken place in me, and in and through each of us as the One Mind, of which we are all connected.

I release my word into the Law with deep faith and conviction that as it is spoken, so it is done. So Be It and So It Is. Amen!

A Prayer for the United States of America

 Centering into the stillness, the love, the wisdom. That which undergirds is within and beyond all that is. Spirit, Cause, Energy, God, so many different names and aware of that and its pervasive, unavoidable nature. 

That which is in me, is also in each one of us, in each being in our country and beyond on this planet. We may forget it; we may close our eyes to it. It is always, always there.

As I settle into this awareness, I speak my word for the United States of America. In this century, in these times, there is an incredible amount of communication. Its range, its breadth, its frequency -- It is almost beyond imagining. And for some reason, rather than drawing us together, that has separated us into islands of opinions and feelings, has caused us to forget the heart of who we are as a country. Words like freedom, opportunity, “bring me your tired, your poor” -- all of those seemed to have faded into the background in this moment. I claim and know that those words which are grounded in that unanalyzable First Cause, Love, are coming again to our awareness, and are becoming the centering, uniting values for all of us. No matter our many opinions and ways of life, there are shared values that underlie our country’s unique and precious being. I now claim that those divine qualities emerge more and more clearly as we know what needs to come alive in each of us, as all of us.

I am thankful that we are not solely responsible for this work as separate individuals; we are co-creating with that divine love, that divine wisdom and power and even divine joy, moving toward the re-emergence of our union. Vibrant, welcoming, Spirit-led, real.

As I know this about the United States of America, I am deeply, deeply grateful. I celebrate this Truth. It emerges even as these words are spoken, it is so, it is true.

And together we say, and so it is.

The Courage to Say No

All power is derived from the Beloved Source, the Source that created galaxies, oceans, butterflies, sub-atomic particles—all space and time. Its power is immeasurable, unfathomable, and endowed in all Its designs. It is the benevolence that nurtures, the Creator of all creatures and all creation. Everywhere without a border, no inside and no outside, it is the very substance of all that is. It is Life. It is the loving Presence that speaks wherever there is a hearer. Loud as all sound, soft as a whisper, It creates.

I am that. The power of the One flows through me and in this recognition, I am empowered. I am a channel and a willing vessel for Life to create through me.

In this understanding, I grasp the immense responsibility to be a clean and open outlet for a definite “yes” to Life’s impulse to love and create and give through me. And that same Power sustains me to say a clear and definite “no” when that is the most life-giving response. The power of Spirit through me engenders courage. It supports me to say “no,” even when it disappoints, because “no” is the most loving answer.

I am thankful for the Spirit-driven courage to speak my truth. I celebrate the power of Spirit to guide my definite “yes” and my definite “no.”

I leave this with the Law of the Divine, joyful that it is already so.

And so it is!

Pray for Sanity in Turbulent Times

There is only one – one infinite and powerful presence of Spirit. All knowing, all wise, this presence of Spirit is the creative force behind all of life and it encompasses all of life in its entirety. Spirit is joy and peace; Spirit is love and beauty. Spirit is everywhere present all the time. There is no part of life where Spirit is absent.

Spirit is right here within me. Spirit’s love guides me. Spirit’s creative power lives through me. Spirit’s light shines bright and makes perfect my way every day. I only have to pause and go within to feel that powerful presence of Spirit within me. It is closer than my breath and always available to me, always.

Today I declare that I stay grounded and present in Spirit’s love. Today I align with that power for Good that is Spirit expressing. I lean into this force of love and take one step, and then another, and then another all the time knowing that the love of Spirit is stronger than anything I encounter during my day. I go back to feel that presence of Spirit as many times each day as I need to, to remind myself of this connection to Spirit. It is my personal touchstone of love. I remain in a state of calm and peace as I remember to connect with Spirit who is always within me.

I give thanks now for the truth in this prayer and the reminder that I am one with Spirit all the time.

And so I can release my word as I turn it over to the law that makes it so. And so it is.
