Affirmative Prayer for Quiet Joy

Affirmative Prayer for Quiet Joy 

The One Mind, the Powerful Intelligence that is forever creating life out of Its love is ever-present and fully active. Its natural state is Joy. It is forever rejoicing in It unfoldment.

I am an expression of this Creating Power. The One Mind expresses through me. Its Joy lives in me. I am one with the One Life Force.

I accept this new awareness that there is no limit to the quiet joy expressing in my life. Awe and wonder are reestablished in me. The dust and grime of the journey of my life have no hold over me. I am enough. I am doing enough. I rest in a quiet appreciation of the simple beauty of life unfolding within me and all around me.

This truth I celebrate and I trust its continued revelation in my life.

And So It Is

Affirmative Prayer to Follow Divine Guidance

The one Spirit knows no big or small.  It is all powerful, expressing in the beauty of the seasons, in the universe where the sun shines daily, all is in harmony and balance.  Spirit shines forth as love, kindness, generosity, and wisdom. Spirit is always present.

I am one with this all powerful Spirit that knows no big or small, but easily expresses in us all.  

This Spirit guides me and each of us to reach out to each other through these unsettling times. Our Center provides love and kindness and wisdom as we pull together in all ways, using the modern ways of communication.  Each leader and member is acting in ways that help and strengthen our experience of oneness.  We endeavor always to follow divine guidance. 

I am thankful for our Center and it's leaders and these words.

I release this treatment as I recognize Spirits guidance being carried out.

And so it is.

Affirmative Prayer for Food Security

Food Security 

The Nature of the Divine Life is Abundance and Harmony. There is an unlimited supply of all things necessary for life to thrive from the One Source, the Source of Life itself. Peace, kindness and compassion are aspects of the unconditional Love of the Spirit. God holds the solution and the resolution to every appearance of lack or limitation.

The Divine Life includes everyone, everywhere. The One Source supplies its goodness to all beings. I am a recipient of the abundance and harmony of Spirit’s Love. My life is filled with kindness, compassion and peace. Whatever solution is needed arises from the goodness of God.

I accept that an abundance of resources flows into my life including a steady food supply. I, my family, my loved ones and my neighbors have an abundance of healthy fresh food every day. My body is nourished and strong. Abundance and harmony are present in my everyday experience. I trust that peace, kindness and compassion surround me and I am filled with the love of the Spirit. Any appearance of lack or limitation is right now dissolved and an influx of supply flows into my life, so much so, that I am able to share with others.

I am so grateful for the knowing of this truth about abundance in my life and for the assurance of food security for me and my loved ones.

I release this Word into the Law.

And So It Is

Affirmative Prayer for the Center for Spiritual Living

In the quiet of this moment God's presence is palpable. It is all-consuming in its vastness. It is self-givingness. It is generous diversity of expression. God has kissed the universe in a brilliance that infuses all life - each and every being, word, action, and form. God's omnipresence is without beginning, without and without selectiveness, and without exception. It is complete, blanketing all that there is in Divine love. God's existence is here now in this holy instance and for all time. It’s power unfathomable to human understanding, is nevertheless fully available at all times, and all places and to everyone.

I know my unity with the One I feel it, I breathe it and I am immersed in it. It is the Intelligent Creator of each thought I have an of every cell in my body. God's heart is in my heart and is the heart of all. It is alive in every one of us; a golden thread that moves through all people all cultures all religions.  It is the heart of the Santa Rosa Center for Spiritual Living.

I affirm that our Center is a blueprint of perfect health. God's infinite and deep abiding love holds us in its loving care. It is alive in us around us and by means of us.

There is a Divine healing energy that enfolds us in wholeness. God ensures that conditions for growth are perfect and intact. God always triumphs and does so now as we realize that we are a vital part of the path currently unfolding for the elevation of our wonderful planet and our contributions to it. Divine Perfection out pictures itself through our Center, its leaders and the entire Fellowship. Divine circuits are engaged in maintaining and sustaining our well-being and expansion. And divine wisdom alive and thriving in our Center continues to prosper us in always for always.

I am gratified to be aligned with seekers, speakers, and discoverers of Truth across the entire planet. As I joyfully mingle my prayer with those of my entire spiritual family, a feeling of grateful completeness encompasses me.

With no need to hold on or grasp, I tenderly relinquish this prayer. There is simply a gentle melting into a peaceful sea of calm acceptance.

 And so it is

Resilient Spiritual Community

Creative Intelligence, Eternal Love, Wholeness and Abundance are everywhere present, and in within each human and creature in every moment expressing their highest good. In this moment and in this place Great Spirit is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent. The Creative Force in the universe supports good everywhere and in every creature.

The intelligence, love, and grace support the good in my life, and in the life of each of us. Spiritual Truth is within us and in our lives, with our country, and with our world during this pandemic.

God is good and supports us to work as one to raise the standards for all humanity, and improve environmental sustainability. We will survive, thrive, and live to see a better time. We move everyday towards a world which works for everyone.

I commit to spiritual practice to raise my consciousness to believe in the highest good for all. I meditate and work toward a thriving and resilient Center for Spiritual Living in Santa Rosa, my community.

I am grateful there is a power greater than I am. We can use It. We will use It. This truth of the higher power that is Good, Love, Light, Infinite Power, Mind, and Presence and is available to us for our use.  

I release this Word into Spiritual Principles and know that it is already true.

 And so it is.

Ease and Grace

Breathing the infinite ease and grace of the Divine, where there is no other. It is the all eternally unfolding as life, through life, on behalf of creation for its highest and greatest good. It is the known and the unknown, boundless love and intelligence, everywhere present and available 24/7.

It being everything, then I am made of It, by It and am at home in It, residing in Mother Father God. It shows up as me and all life. I am inseparable from my divine substance and source. Even if I forget,  It remains the unshakable, incontrovertible truth of my being. It wraps itself around me, is the source and substance of my body, mind and spirit. As this is true for me this is true for all.

With this understanding I speak this word for and about myself and all beings and life. I declare that in the presence of the unknown I welcome and am filled with the ease and grace of the Divine. I  surrender to and trust in the boundless intelligence and love of God. I let go of the idea that I need to know and understand everything. The chatter in my mind softens and grows quiet. I open my heart to the indwelling God and allow trust and faith to grow and manifest in greater ways in my life. Grace and ease unfold brilliantly.

In gratitude I celebrate this spiritual truth. I let go and let God, assured that this prayer is known and done in the Mind of God. All is well.

And so it is. Amen.

Affirmative Prayer for the Center for Spiritual Living

There is One Life. This Life is the everlasting One. The One who’s never born, never dies. It is the One who makes All from Itself. It is the Source of All. All form in Its beautiful intricacy is the One. This One is Infinite Intelligence which is guiding all the activity and non activity of creation.  It is the fountain of love itself, flowing love in and through Its creation. The Creator and created form a dance of joy and love. This flow of Divine Love permeates the entire creation. It is one fabric of interconnection, of love, of joy. The fabric is whole and complete and Its felt sense is joy and peace.  From the vantage of this One the dance is the dance of joy, flowing between form and formless in one whole being,

 I am one with this eternal Life, this Love, this Infinite Intelligence. I am one with the dance of form and formless. I am one with the deep and abiding peace. For I am an integral part of this fabric of life. I am whole and complete at all times.

As this is true for me it is true for the Center for Spiritual Living. The Center is one with Life. It has unending Divine Love pouring in and throughout it. Each person who is part of the Center or simply has heard of the Center or come to the Center is included in this fabric of Life. Every being is one with the love, the intelligence, the joy and the peace. And the Center as a whole is an entity of love, peace and joy.

During this time of social distancing there is no distance between the individualized beings within the fabric of this Center, this Life. We are united by the teachings, the love of our Center and the ground on which we all stand, the Ground of All Being. We are guided by Divinity to act from these beliefs at this time. The Center itself is within the fabric of the Beloved and is guided and sustained by love Itself during this challenging time. During this pandemic, the Center is an ongoing entity that, with the actions of individualized beings, emanates love and peace and joy. We know the teaching that Divinity is within and can be accessed at any time and this sustains us now. We are guided by Infinite Intelligence that is lighting the way to our well being.

I give thanks for the realization of the whole fabric of Life and Its peace, joy and love that is always here. I give thanks for this sense of well being that is always present within.

Release: I release my Word to the One who already has said yes.

 And so it is.
