Acceptance, Forgiveness, and Peace

 The One Presence of Spirit is peace. It is that space within which all life abides and unfolds. It is the inner stillness and quiet, always available, beyond all thought and activity, the ground of all being.

This peace is everywhere present, available in every moment. I am inseparable from it. 

In this awareness I speak this word for and about myself and all of life. I open to greater peace through my daily spiritual practice. I affirm the ease and calm I choose in the midst of life swirling and flowing around me. Inner peace allows me to choose my response to the way life shows up, and way it does not. Turning to the Divine within, I notice my triggers, where fear lives and where acceptance and forgiveness is called forth. I allow this sacred process to unfold and make room for greater peace in my being and for the highest good of all. 

I celebrate this spiritual truth for all of life. In gratitude I accept that this prayer is already known and done through the Law of Mind. I let go and let God.

And so it is.

A Vision of Wholeness

 Recognizing the Dearest One, Father-Mother God, within which all life is created, abides and expresses. This divine vessel is all inclusive, nothing is outside of it. It is the source and sustainer of all life. Its unconditional love, boundless intelligence, compassion and creative power are always working on behalf of life, for the highest and greatest good. God is everywhere present and available in each breath and in every moment.

I need only turn inward or look outward and God is there. I am made through the will of God, from its divine substance, created in God's image, as a child of God.  The Divine is in, through and around me. It is the power that holds me and all life to the planet. I am inseparable from this one life, even when I forget. As this is true for me, it is true for all. 

I speak this word of prayer for and about all of life. I notice the worldly situation, condition and circumstances that call for solutions through unity and understanding. As I open to the Divine, I surrender any thought, idea or belief in lack, limitation, separation or fear. God is my co-pilot, ever-present to inform and guide my actions. I allow the light of the Beloved to transform my fear and anger into love. I accept a growing vision of wholeness in my relationships, my community, my nation, and a world where the life on, and of this planet is cherished. I reach out into the faith community. I look for values I can agree on with those of a differing political point of view.  I start right here, inside my own heart and mind with my daily spiritual practice.

I am grateful for this shift in consciousness. I trust that this prayer is already known and done in the mind of God.

 And so it is.

I Reach Out for Prayer and Divine Guidance

 There is one Spirit, one power and consciousness that is everywhere present, love itself. It is the source and sustainer of life, of every breath and heartbeat, always acting on behalf of Its creation.  With Its love, strength and compassion It enfolds all. Nothing is outside of Its embrace.

So, I am here on purpose, created from and sustained by the Divine. As this is true for me this is the truth of all life, all beings. I am awakening to God's presence, returning to my Source through this process of involution. This is shared by all of creation. We are all drops in the Ocean of the One.

From this understanding, I speak my word for and about all beings, all life. We are in this together! I affirm that in the midst of however life is showing up I am enfolded in divine purpose and intelligence. I think, choose and act from this awareness. I am willing to let go of anything contrary to my good so that my actions reflect the highest and greatest good for all concerned. In the apparent chaos of the pandemic, natural disaster, politics, elections, violence, social injustice--- I open to divine guidance and what is mine to do. I am generous hearted, and forgiving.  Kind humor and joy express through me as I go about my day.  If I am feeling low, I reach out to friends, my spiritual community and ask for prayer. I lean into my daily practice.

 I am so grateful for being grounded in this spiritual truth. I release this prayer into the Law where it is already known and done.

 And so it is. Amen

The Creative Power of Love


There is one Life Force, one cosmic urge that expresses a powerful tendency toward healing, harmony and light. This Life Force, this Creative Power is ever-present and all-knowing. It is completely inclusive. There is nothing outside this Power, this healing, harmonizing Life Force. I call it Love and I know that it is good.

I realize right now that this Creative Power of Love is forever seeking expression through me. I am Its vessel. I am a channel for Its expression. Divine Love, through me, is an active participant in the great awakening that is happening right now.

I affirm that the light of this cosmic, unconditional, Divine Love is reaching in to every dark corner, bringing warmth and comfort, solution and connection. All needs are met through this Divine Source. The unlimited aspect of the creative flow brings healing, harmony and light to all of creation.

I celebrate the power of this truth and I let it be.

And So It Is.

A World that Works for All

Recognition: Spirit is the absolute, eternal, infinite, unconditionally loving intelligence at the heart of all that is.  Spirit is love and compassion, encompassing all and embracing all. Spirit is justice, a guiding light toward what is right.  Spirit is abundance, and prosperity, always providing what is needed whenever it is needed. Spirit is equality, recognizing all of its creations as worthy of love.

Unification: I Am a living embodiment of Spirit, a fully manifested individualized expression of love, compassion, Justice, abundance, prosperity, and equality. The creative life force that surrounds and indwells me expresses through me its desire to raise humanity's consciousness and create a world that celebrates these qualities. 

 Realization: I Am aware of and awakened to the forward movement of life in the realms of politics and economics.  I Am engaged in activities with individuals and organizations dedicated to creating political systems in which every voice is heard and economic systems in which wealth is freely circulated. And I am fully aligned with Spirit in the raising humanity's consciousness to point where we all recognize our inherent kinship with one another. I joyously celebrate the creation of a world that awakens humanity to its divine inheritance, a world that truly works for all. 

Thanksgiving: I Am profoundly and eternally grateful for this sacred vision and for every blessing that I have ever given and received. 

Release: I offer up and release this sacred Word into the infinite activity of the one Mind, knowing that as I declare that Word to be true, it has come to pass.  

And so it is!

Affirmative Prayer for Trusting Spirit


Trusting Spirit to Inform Decisions and Actions

There is one all-inclusive Presence, one unifying life force, that is forever informing all of life with its perfect intelligence and wisdom. It is the guiding light that leads all of life to its highest expression. The nature of this Presence is joy and clarity.

I am one with this guiding light, one with this Presence. Its light and joy live in me.

I accept an experience of deep faith and trust that Spirit is informing my every decision and my every action. The clarity and joy of the Spirit expresses through me. As I release all stress and burden, I step into perfect responsiveness. I respond to each decision with faith and trust. I allow the intelligence and wisdom of the one Presence to guide me. I listen deeply to my intuition for it is born of my eternal connection to Spirit. I trust myself to respond for the highest good. I am calm and poised. I surrender to the Spirit in faith and trust.

I give thanks for this realization of my true nature and the realization of Spirit working in my life.

I trust and I let go.

And So It Is

Affirmative Prayer for Mothers and Children


There is only one thing going on, and it is the activity and expression of God, everywhere present always acting for the highest and greatest good of Its creation. Nothing is outside of Its all enfolding love, power, compassion and intelligence.

It is the substance of this moment and this prayer. It is the source and sustainer of my being and that of all mothers and their children. All are inseparable from the goodness of Father Mother God. There is no spot where Spirit is not. It is the divine stuff, the seen and unseen ground of being. Its allness is everywhere present, connecting every aspect of life, this is Its irrefutable nature as the body mind and spirit of creation. God is all. All is God.

With this understanding I speak this prayer for and about myself and all mothers and children who struggle in body , mind or spirit. I accept God's all-knowing presence of love, compassion and strength surrounding however life is showing up. I recognize as my child navigates great challenges and abides within the boundless love of God; they are never alone. My mother's heart breaks open to a greater love and trust in the unknown. I open to divine guidance and am informed how to best support my child. I grow emotionally and spiritually in this process.

I am so grateful and rest in this spiritual truth about my child and myself.

I release this prayer into the Law of Mind where it is already known and done. I let go and let God. I am so blessed.

And so it is.
