Affirmative Prayer for Rising Up

There is the Creator, the Divine Architect of all life, the loving Mother Father God everywhere present. It is the substance, foundation and lifting up of all life, the one Spirit and Truth of being, creating and birthing anew in each moment, rising up infinitely.

It is the source and sustenance of my life. I am a place where God shows up, an individual expression of It, here through the love, power and intelligence of the Beloved. As this is true for me, it is true for all. No being, no part of creation, no thing is ever separate from this truth. All is at home in the One.

I speak this prayer for and about myself and all life. I accept God's infinite boundless Goodness in the appearance of all situation, condition and circumstance. I recognize this opportunity for spiritual growth as I rise above and see beyond preconceived notions, limiting attitudes and habits. I welcome a growing heartfelt connection and compassion for all humanity, all life. I look within for what is being called forward to shift in my consciousness. I realize I am born anew in each moment through the grace of God, and give to others according to my natural gifts. I am kinder and more forgiving with myself and others. I allow myself to be raised up and guided by God's infinite Good and Intelligence. Healing is Truth revealing in every aspect of life--- in body, mind and spirit.

With gratitude I realize this spiritual truth. It is already known and done before these words were spoken.


I let go and let God.
And so it is. Amen.

Affirmative Prayer for Vitality and Rebirth

Divine spirit is the animating force in, though and around all of life. Seen and unseen, material and immaterial, It is the creative source of everything, the life force within all that is alive, known and unknown, eternally expressing as joy, beauty, grace, peace and everything in-between. Call it God, Universal Spirit, Divine Blessed One or any other name, It is the all and everything in all places.

As God is in all places fully expressing, it is right here in each breath I breathe. Every cell in my body is an expression of the One. Every thought I think is the mind of God expressing through me. Every beat of my heart is the rhythm of Divine Spirit flowing thru me. And so as this is the animating force expressing in my life, it is also true for and about anyone who has eyes to read these words and feel this prayer.

The vitality and rebirth that is expressing in this season of spring is evidence of God's regenerative spirit. I awaken and become more conscious, and embrace the full expression of rebirth and renewal that I see happening in nature as my own. I affirm this is happening in my life and in the life of this spiritual community that is the Center for Spiritual Living. Just as the birds are gathering all they need to create a safe home for the expectancy of new life, I am trusting that we all feel the calling into a deepening of faith to trust that regeneration is right here. I lean into life and it’s ability to come alive, to release what is no longer needed, to allow space for the miracle of new life, new love, more peace, deeper gratitude for the abundance of beauty, friendship, family, and joy. I feel and experience the expression of light, that is known by some as the Christ Consciousness, during this time of celebration for spring time as deep calling unto deep brings me into a state of peace and quiet expectancy of the good that is in the world. I claim and affirm this for all beings in all forms. I see it moving from the four corners of my own heart out into the four corners of the world to unite us all together as one is this truth.

May you join in the celebration of gratitude this call into my awareness. Oh blessed be the changing season. I give thanks for the song of the bird that awakens the song of my heart. I am humbled in love and thanksgiving for this celebration of a new way of being in the world. May we share the good news each in our own way.

And so, as I bring these words to an end, I rest assured that all is well on the unseen side of life and allow myself to feel this blessing as I release and let these thoughts fly into the law of Divine Mind. Breathing in, relaxing and knowing the answer is "yes my beloved", I let it be. And so it is.

Easter Prayer

All creation, all form exists as a manifestation of and for the desire of the one omnipotent Life that I call God but is known by many names. It is the essence of all that is seen and also exits beyond all form. From within It's creation It expresses the love that It is, all beauty, wisdom and joy are expressions of the One. It is the creator of the natural laws that the universe experiences but never limited by nature.

This One is the essence of all that I am, of all people everywhere. Each individual is a specific expression where God reveals and experiences Itself. The mind, the heart and the life of God are expressed within me, every particle of my body is embodied by the loving, living essence of God.

Understanding the great Truth the loving nature of God, I can confidently proclaim that the perfect love of the Creator always responds for the good of It's creation. That means that God responds to me. As I am confident that God is eternal for It is all powerful, I understand that God cannot be thwarted or destroyed. Therefore, every apparent death is meant with resurrection for the energy that is God cannot be destroyed. I proclaim that whatever loss I have experienced is transformed into new life. Every fear I hold, I release into love trusting in transformation. The great symbolism of the resurrection of Jesus is a promise for all.

In this profound realization I proclaim, “hallelujah, I am risen.” Hallelujah, the world rises and my heart rejoices.

From this place of joy, I release this prayer into the powerful, loving Law of the supreme love of God that supersedes even natural law. 

And so it is, Hallelujah, Amen.

Affirmative Prayer for the Center for Spiritual Living

There is only One. Indivisible and yet dividing into an infinite number of possibilities and expressions. In the many faces of this One there is a pervading unity. An underlying presence that is infused into it all. It is like the silence that gives space for the sound or the deep oceans that express in the individual waves. This One is infinite intelligence and boundless creativity. It knows how to birth solar systems and babies. It knows how to live and to grow and to unfold in each one of its creations in absolute perfection. And It also know how to let those creations die and fold back into itself once more. It is an endless cycle. It is a force that is for life and for expansion. 

That force is expanding in me right now. It is literally creating my cells anew in this very moment and it is doing so from a place of infinite intelligence. I am a note in the silence. A wave in this ocean of abundance. And so is the Center for Spiritual Living Santa Rosa. 

I know that this Center will continue to bring joy and spiritual unfolding to its members especially in these times of change. It will continue to create from this place of divine inspiration.  While I acknowledge and have immense gratitude for the physical space the Center has offered to its members. I also know this center is more than just a place. It is a coming together around ideas and a willingness to be a participant in a loving community. That is still a creative reality right now. We are a community that can accept new realities. So, I confidently know that we are already using new platforms and methods to loving build a connection in a changing reality. I know that we are in this process of life and birth and death and running towards the spaces where growth occurs. In doing this we are expanding and growing and becoming more abundant. Knowing that our source comes from that deep ocean of peace and that ever present silence, we are bolstered in times of change. We step onto that bridge called faith and we accept grace as the only destination worth seeking. 

I am so thankful I can know truth. I feel blessed every day to be able to experience the world from the center of awe.

I surrender to that Divine Intelligence that needs to no instruction. I allow myself to be a vessel for divine instruction and I release all control knowing that it is done.

I Accept my Grace

God. Beloved. Infinite Wisdom. Divine Presence. Creative Intelligence. Universal Spirit. Eternal Architect. The Grand Maker. The Farmer of universes: the Planter of all seeds- large and small; far and wide. All has been designed by the Thing Itself. The Original. It is Infinite Source. It is the cause of every galaxy, every solar system, every star, every planet, ecosystem, animal, bacteria, atom, fiber. It is the tides, gravity, breeze; everything seen and unseen, all that is know and yet to be known. It is the ebb and flow of all existence. Equally present in every space and time. Providing Itself to and through all of Its creation in the form of peace, love, joy, and purpose. Rich and lavish Goodness is abundantly provided to each perfect being.

Each and every creation of the Divine is intentional and integral expression of Life. I know this is equally true for myself. I know it is true for the food I eat, the water I drink, the air I breathe. So this next breath, I draw a little deeper and hold it a little longer. I turn my awareness inward. I notice the Goodness that is within my body right now. The air within my lungs, the beating of my heart, the blood flowing through my veins, every cell in my body, every fiber of my being, every piece of knowledge I've learned, every emotion I have yet to feel, every thought that passes my mind. Everything about my existence is a perfect divine expression in action. Always. Everything -without hesitation or exception.

And as my emotions and thoughts form my words, I speak absolute Truth right now: I am an intentional and integral expression of Divine Life. I am royal by nature: A true masterpiece. I live and breathe purpose. I allow Goodness to pour through me in the most natural and practical ways. I lace joy, beauty, and love through my words, thoughts, tasks, and chores. I share sacredness in every direction with smiles, helping hands, and laughter. I bless my community with grace, empathy, and compassion. I humbly embrace the divine invitation, and I allow my cup to flow over with abundant opportunities. I accept my grace. I accept my beautiful humanity.

I celebrate my Divine Goodness. I allow joy and gratitude to fill my body. I revel in the eternal bounty that fills my heart. I humbly delight in my practical Goodness.

Knowing God is Good. I release these words into the Law that always provides a sublime yes. It is done well.

And So It Is

Grounded in Spiritual Practice

Resting in the fullness of infinite love, boundless connection and intelligence there is only one thing happening. It is all God, enfolding all in its irrepressible goodness.

And so I am made of this one divine substance, inseparable from this everywhere present good, the source and sustenance of all. It breathes through me and beats my heart; I am an individual expression of It, a place where the Divine shows up. As this is true for me it is true for all of life.

With this understanding I speak my word for and about myself and all. I accept how life is showing up in Its expected and unexpected ways. I ground myself in daily spiritual practice affirming the highest and greatest good for all. I recognize that Infinite Intelligence is always available to inform and guide our leaders and those providing health care, crucial services and medical materials in our community and the world.  Resources are available and generously shared. I practice this awareness in all I think say and do. I turn from divisive, unhelpful attitudes and invest in our common humanity. I am compassionate and responsible in how I show up in the world, choosing safety for myself and others. I remember that peace and guidance is everywhere present, 100 % available in the midst of however life shows up.

I gratefully accept this spiritual truth that is already know and done in the heart and mind of God.

And so it is. Amen
