Guidance in decision making

There is only one life. One power and presence that is in and through all people, places and situations, and this is what I call Spirit – the creator of all. Spirit is good and only good; it is peace, joy, harmony and balance. Spirit is health and wisdom, clarity and comfort. Every moment is filled with the all-ness of Spirit, and Spirit gives freely of itself to one and all, never judging, never holding back, just freely and continuously giving.

Because I exist then I, too, must be a part of the creative essence of Spirit. The love that Spirit is surrounds me; the wisdom that Spirit is fills me; the peace that Spirit is, is mine to accept in every moment for Spirit is every moment, just waiting to give to me my heart’s desire – all I need do is open and say YES! And as this is true for me, I know that it is also the truth about anyone reading this prayer, for no one can exist outside of Spirit. Therefore, we are all imbued with the peace, strength, love, safety, and goodness that life has to offer.

And so I speak my word now for myself and anyone reading this prayer as I accept an opening to Divine Guidance in all life situations. I declare that peace and love guide all my words and actions, and that any support that is needed to be given or received lands with loving kindness on those who are requesting it, bringing a sense of peace and love. I accept that I am able to easily navigate through decisions to be made, and that all decisions are reached with love, harmony, gentleness and loving kindness. I’m knowing for myself, and everyone, an opening that allows us to feel the love surrounding us in every moment, and that we allow the peace of Spirit to guide our every move.

I am grateful for remembering that Spirit is in every situation and available all the time, answering prayer and lifting hearts,

And so with this gratitude I release this, my word, into the creative essence known as the Law, to be made manifest in form and action.

And so it is!

Generosity of Spirit

 Divine creator, which animates all of life, exists all around. All that is seen, and all that is yet to be seen, is created from the life force energy of the one. Call it love, beauty, abundance - it is the all in all. There is no limit to the generosity of this creative spirit. Spirit gives to all alike. There is no separation in the mind and heart of Spirit, no judgment, no withholding. Spirit is always giving itself through this experience of life. The sun rises and freely shines its light on all the world; the air we breathe has no limit.

And because the one is all there is, I am an individualized expression of the one. Spirit is creating through me, as me, by me, with me and this unfolds as the richness of life in every moment. I am a place where Spirit shows up. There is nothing I can do that would stop this nature from expanding into even greater good in the expression of its abundance.

As I open my heart and focus my thoughts on the giving spirit behind life, I recognize the generosity of Spirit and I am filled with Light and Love. I am immersed in a beautiful world that is abundant in all ways. Be it money, relationship, right livelihood, peace of mind or any other possible worry, I now return to this thought of abundant generosity and know that all is well. I recognize that I am also generous of spirit in all my affairs. I have more than enough to give, and I open my heart and allow myself to receive.

I breathe and relax. I let these words fill me with the peace and ease that gratitude brings. I graciously give thanks to the One.

And I just let go. I release this word knowing it is done. And so it is.

Peaceful Relationships

Spirit is all there is. It is love and peace, beauty and harmony. Spirit’s all-knowing wisdom abides here and now and everywhere all the time. This power for good is the all-encompassing power of Spirit. Creator of all, Spirit is the maker behind all.

This power and love of Spirit expresses itself in all sentient beings. Each one of us is connected to each other through the love and peace of Spirit. We are all different yet bound together by love in this creation.

I affirm that peace is the basis of my connection with all people in my life. Love and harmony are present in me as I live and move in this world. I know that I express the wisdom and love of Spirit in my words and actions. Northing is ever spoken without the choice to put Spirit first in my life. And as I put Spirit first, I lean into that safety of love which produces peace.

With great gratitude that allows me to acknowledge the importance of my walk with Spirit, I can let go of this prayer into the law where it brings my thoughts into form.

And so it is. Amen.

Wisdom flows

The Creative Power of Life flows infinitely, ever-present and unshaken. It is the source and substance of all being—the intelligence that guides, the love that embraces, and the persistently intact wholeness. It expresses itself in clarity, resilience, and infinite possibility in every moment. It is the breath of peace within the storm, the steady rhythm of truth beneath the noise. It knows no separation, division, or lack—only the eternal unfolding of wholeness and belonging.

I stand in this truth now. I recognize that I am, and have always been, a part of this infinite flow. This life moves through me, as me. It is my foundation when I feel centered and my source even when I forget. I am always held, guided, and able to return to the awareness of my connection. The stillness of my being is persistently whole, unshaken by circumstance, untouched by fear. This presence is unwavering whether I feel aligned or uncertain or experience clarity or confusion. I can always return.

So I welcome this knowing. I lean into it. I allow it to settle into my awareness. I recognize that there is something within me that understands, and that I am permanently part of the flow of wisdom, love, and creative possibility. The deep well of peace within me is steady, ready, and available. I am part of the infinite intelligence of the universe, a vessel through which it expresses itself fully and freely.

And in this awareness, gratitude rises naturally. Gratitude for the knowing, for the remembering, for the gentle return. Gratitude for the life that moves through me, the truth that is always vibrant, and the renewal that is continuously available.

Knowing it is so, I release this word into the law of Life. I let go, trusting in the infinite movement of creation. And so it is.

Harmony in marriage

I recognize that there is only One Presence, One Power, and One Love—an Infinite Intelligence that governs all life in perfect harmony. This Divine Presence is the very essence of love, peace, and joy. It moves through all things, including my relationship with my wife, guiding us in perfect unity.

I affirm that my wife and I are divinely connected, rooted in shared beliefs that uplift and inspire us. Our love is a reflection of the Divine, and as we walk this journey together, we do so with understanding, respect, and joy. Harmony is our natural state, and it flows effortlessly between us.

Our relationship is filled with fun and laughter, for joy is a sacred expression of love. We embrace life’s moments with playfulness and appreciation, knowing that our companionship is a beautiful gift. We celebrate each other’s uniqueness and find delight in our shared experiences. I also affirm that we are each a witness to the other’s soul, seeing and honoring the deepest truth of who we are. We listen with open hearts and minds, offering support and encouragement in all things. Love moves through us as patience, kindness, and deep connection.

I am grateful for this harmony, knowing that it is already present and unfolding in divine perfection. 

I release this word into the Law, trusting that it is done. And so it is.

Guidance

There is one infinite, all knowing presence and power. This Spiritual essence is everywhere, in the seen and unseen parts of life. Spirit is love, peace, harmony and joy. And this essence shows up equally in all sentient beings all over the planet.

Since this power is everywhere present, then it is right here within me. All this joy, all of this love and harmony and peace is right where I am, expressing as me. This guidance is always with me. At any moment, I can remember this spiritual truth and open to it.

Knowing this divine essence is always available, I now align with the Spiritual essence within me. As I lean into the love of Spirit, I express more love in all my affairs. As I allow this love to flow, I attain more peace in my life. And I claim more harmony and joy to come through me in ways that support my good and the good of all. I claim that Spirit’s guidance shows up for me in all aspects of my life. As I align with this truth, I move confidently into my days. Each step of my life is guided by the light and love of Spirit.

I feel so much gratitude when choosing these words of prayer. When I think of love and peace, I feel grateful and strong.

I can now release my prayer into the law where it is done. With faith and trust, I let it be. Amen.

My Life Mirrors the Divine

I recognize that there is One Infinite Presence, the Source and Essence of all life. This Presence is Love, Peace, and Vibrancy, flowing in and through all creation. This Sacred Reality is here, now, and always, embracing all people, all expressions of life, and all ways of being.

My life is woven into the wholeness of Spirit, and Spirit is alive in me. The wisdom and grace of the Divine move through me, guiding my steps. My existence, like all existence, is a sacred reflection of love, creativity, and infinite possibility.

I affirm that my life mirrors the life of Spirit. Every breath I take, every heartbeat within me, echoes the sacred. When I encounter fear, uncertainty, or injustice in the world, I return to my breath and transform these experiences into wisdom, peace, and compassionate action. When doubt or uncertainty arises, I meet them with faith. I trust in Spirit’s presence and the goodness within all people. I know that healing and peace are always possible. Each day, I choose to embody love, justice, and harmony in my thoughts, words, and actions. I make these choices with great ease and clarity for I see the face of the Divine in myself and in all beings—across every culture, identity, and experience. The light of Spirit shines through every soul, reminding me that we are resilient, creative, and capable of building a world based in kindness, dignity and shared humanity. As the grace of my life expands I surrender any need for control and rest in the deep knowing that Spirit is at work in ways that are both seen and unseen. I trust that divine wisdom is always guiding me and that life is unfolding in positive, meaningful ways.

With deep gratitude, I celebrate the sacred presence that lives and moves through me and all beings. I give thanks for the awareness of my connection to Spirit, for the peace that flows through me, and for the love that surrounds and sustains us all.

I release this Word into the Law knowing it is now made real. And so it is.
