Pray for Love and Comfort

There’s only one Truth and it is the Presence, Power and Love of God. It is here now, fully and completely, generously offering and giving all that It is to the whole of creation. It supports, guides, comforts, inspires and loves all.

In the recognition of this Truth, there is a realization that this is the Truth of me. As this is the absolute Truth of me, this is also the Truth of all of us. We have come to this time and place on purpose. We are made in the image and likeness of God, so what God is, we are light and love, profound peace, a deep wellspring of joy and beauty. This is our true identify, in every moment of this life, it always has been and will always be completely and profoundly available to us.

I speak my word for all beings accepting that we are loved beyond description, bathed in love, it surrounds and enfolds us it is who and what we are. This love is never interrupted or diminished ever, in any way. It is alive in us now. This love connects us to the Divine creator and to all life everywhere. This powerful bond is always present, we are never alone, there is always the principle of ONENESS operating within each one of us. I accept and declare for all being the opening of our mind and heart to receive this truth as a blessing and may it be comforting in this moment and every moment.

I give great thanks for this realization of truth and release this word into the Law, welcoming the demonstration of this experience, and the feeling of it.

And so it is. Amen.

A Prayer during Family Challenges

The power and presence and amazing wonder of life is here right now in this present moment and each moment throughout eternity. The nature of this Presence is love and harmony. Its ways are creative and beautiful, showing itself through flowers and butterflies, rainbows, stars, and the moon, and everything in between.

Just as I am infused with this power and presence, so is the receiver of this prayer. Each one of us is a unique, one of a kind creation. And we are born into families, not necessarily of our choosing.

So I say a word of prayer for these families. And when the family is going through a challenging experience, I claim calm. I affirm that this eternal power and intelligence knows just what to do and is doing it to mend families in disharmony. Even if this looks quite different at the end of this transformation, this divine power and presence is always comforting, bringing light to the situation and shining the way. I declare that through dealing with these family challenges, members develop courage, compassion, and kindness. And this compassion and kindness starts with the self, taking extra good care during stressful times. Each new day presents opportunities and possibilities for resolution of family conflicts. Each new day we can begin again to reframe how our thoughts handle the situation as we weed out negative unhealthy thoughts, and replacing them with self-nurturing ways of thinking. Taking time to be in nature, rest, prayer, meditation, and just being in the stillness are helpful now. And connecting with helpers along the way, we are not alone in the process.

And so with a grateful heart, knowing that all the details are taken care of by the Law to enable families to continue to grow and evolve just the way they do, I declare a peaceful calm during this process regardless of what it looks like and I release this prayer, knowing it’s already done perfectly.

And so it is. Amen

Prayer for Overworked Parents

Recognizing the Infinite Presence as the Source of all life, love, and renewal. This Presence is boundless, compassionate, and ever-supportive. It flows through all places, and things, within us and around us. Generously it shares its peace, patience, and unconditional love, connecting all in a unity, harmony and love.

Every parent and child is one with Spirit’s love, compassion, harmony and creativity. Spirit as the Source of strength, resilience, and wisdom, is available to every parent in every moment; no matter what is going on at home or around them. It brings balance, joy, and clarity, so each parent feels supported, restored, and uplifted, even in the busiest of times.

I affirm that each parent is embraced in the calm and loving support of the Universe. I declare that peace fills their hearts, that patience flows with ease, and that their minds are open to moments of rest and renewal. Even in times of weariness or stress, a boundless strength within is there to guide them, sustain them, and remind them of the power they hold. For each parent Spirit is gently organizing, uplifting and energizing every aspect of their lives. As they navigate their day clarity, peace, and love percolate through every cell of their body and throughout their lives and in their homes. 
As each parent shares compassion and care with their children they know they are not alone. They are seen, and cherished by Spirit with comfort, calm, and courage. A deep reservoir of grace and ease revitalizes them each morning and replenishes them each night.

In deep gratitude for the consciousness and Truth that makes this so I release this Word into the Law knowing it is now made real.

And so it is.

Giving thanks for my body

 Spirit is all there is. Spirit is found everywhere and is the creative force behind all things. Spirit is never-ending love, eternal peace, the fullest joy and bountiful beauty. And Spirit is that power for good that propels life forward each moment and each day.

I am one with that powerful presence of Spirit. I have within me everything that I need to create a life filled with love and peace and joy and beauty. As a creation of Spirit, I have all of these qualities within me all of the time. I can use this information to keep me centered and strong.

Now as I align with these qualities of Spirit, I draw in more love, more joy, more beauty. I claim that I love myself and I love my body more each day. I declare that this body is resilient and fulfills my desire for peace. I claim that my body, with all its alleged imperfections, keeps giving me everything I need to have a wonderful life worth living. I claim that I move and groove with this love I have for my body.

I give thanks for these words of truth.

I release them into the law. And let go and let it be. And so it so. Amen.

Guidance through Values

There is such an amazing Energy that flows in and through and as everything in our universe and beyond. It is the seed of Creation, constantly expanding and contracting, and expanding again. It is the Heart of all Love, Compassion and Goodness. It is the Mindspring of all Knowledge and Ageless Wisdom. It is the Vision of Abundance and Beauty. It is the Comfort of Peace and Serenity. It is the Source of Light and Life. It is Wholeness, Balance and Harmony. It is Life Itself. All in Oneness.

That Energy flows through me as a unique expression of Its Divine Presence. I hear it in the enchanting melody of the perching songbird as it fills me with joy. I see it in the gentle colors of the rising sun and the vibrancy of the evening sunset, filling my life with beauty. And I feel it with every beat of my heart, with every breath I take, with every delicious moment I experience. I am that Life. I am that Oneness.

And the values I embrace, the attributes I claim as my own, continuously guide me on my Spiritual Path, and deepen my relationship with the Oneness. I align myself with those values that resonate in my Beingness, as my life, my purpose unfolds. As I focus on those qualities, I see them reflected in everything I encounter and smile as I experience the joy of sharing my Divine Nature. The gifts I have received, the talents I have been given, the values I embrace, the very essence of my true self that I offer to the world, shine a light that brightens even the darkest situation and ripples outwards to impact more than I could possibly imagine.

I am truly grateful for the incredible opportunities that arise as I continue to walk this path, becoming increasingly aware of the Self, the Essence, the One I have always been.

So I release my word into the Word, into Life, into Love, into the Universal Principles, where it dwells in Eternity.

And So It Is.

I Am Perfect Just As I Am

There is only One Spirit, One Ultimate Stuff, One Underlying & Unifying Principle of All. Waking up to this One is like Knocking on a door and stepping across the threshold into a technicolor world when you leave a black and white world behind. It's like wow! There are so many colors, an infinite array of colors, which is the Creative Genius of the Universe at work. It expresses itself in so many ways. Look at the leaves of every kind of plant. They're all different; they all have a different color and are shaped differently. And so it is with the fingerprints of people, each one unique. They're similar but unique at the same time. This is how the Divine presence is. It is the Creator and its creation all at the same time. I am rendered speechless at the infinite variety which flows from It.

I know That I am a part of that Magnificent Creative Process. Within me lives a piece of the One, always guiding and sustaining me. Each day as It expresses itself through me. It thinks my thoughts and lets me catch glimpses of its brilliance as it speaks to me through my intuition. It is closer than my clothes as it breathes my breath and beats my heart. All my cells orchestrate perfectly in accordance with It’s cosmic decrees. I am a uniquely individualized expression of the generalized creative spark that It is.

In the book of my life every chapter serves a vital purpose because it tells the tale of me. When I think of my past and all my experiences instead of wishing it had been some other way, I smile and I remind myself that I have turned out beautifully because of it all, not in spite of it all. I don't shut the door on the past because therein lies a treasure trove of growth opportunities that I can use to transcend & become an improved version of myself. All of it informs and gives something valuable to my life right now. What a feeling of freedom to re-frame my stuff so it serves a constructive purpose! My intention to Wholeness is my gift to the World. I celebrate the processes that brought me to where I am right now. I am perfect just as I am.

I am receptive to the amazing reflective gifts of the Law as I present my mental equivalent for It to take up. I speak my word into the Law of Mind. For this action of It in my life I know I am blessed and I feel deep gratitude for Its operation.

I release my word and simply let it be. And so it is.
