I am Supportive, Kind and Generous.


Affirmative Prayer: I am Supportive, Kind and Generous.

There is a Divine Presence that is forever giving Its care and support to all of creation. This Presence is the source of all wisdom and generosity. This Divine Presence is the great creative force, the dynamic generosity that is unlimited in Its reach.  This Divine Presence acts through all beings to create Life.

So therefore the Divine Presence is creating life through me. I am a channel for wisdom and generosity. There is no limit to the positive impact I can have on life around me.

So today I am accepting a greater conscious awareness of my ability to be creative and to have an positive impact on all those I contact. I am a force for good. I am supportive, kind and generous. This is my natural state of being and I embrace it. It is my ministry.

I am grateful for this new consciousness and I allow its goodness to wash over me.

I surrender my intention to the maker of all Life, the Divine One.

And So It Is

Abundance

Abundance


Life is wantonly generous—sand grains, pollen, stars, atoms, seeds—everywhere there is more than enough. The lavish generosity of our Beloved Source pours down, spreads out, gives unceasingly at all levels of reality that we can see and, surely, at levels invisible to us, because It is Its nature to give, to provide way beyond need. And as It gives, it also receives in a swirling dance of giving and taking back that is joyous, generous, and never ending.

I am of this same nature, a copy from this template of Goodness and Plenty, giving and getting in miniature, performing my part in the Divine flow. My longing for the empowerment of resources is the longing of Spirit to act and bless and love through me.

All this evidence of openhandedness is clearly visible to me and I am jubilant to know I am a part of the endless rotation of circulation, and so I am Its joyful recipient. My life is one of confidence and trust because I know I am provided for even before I ask. The abundance of all the infinite Goodness available is at my fingertips.

Knowing that my supply is as inevitable as the water that appears when I turn on the tap, I am joyously thankful. I wait in glad eagerness to claim my Good.

I say this is so, and so it is!

Prayer for Times of Grief and Loss

There is One, no other, no thing outside of It, the source, foundation and substance of Love. It is everywhere present, connecting all to Itself, eternally giving to Its creation, whole, perfect and complete, ever expressing through and as Life. This divine Mother-Father God is the one heart, the one body, mind and spirit of all that is. This all knowing Intelligence always acts on behalf of Life, bringing the invisible into form. It celebrates and delights in creation, It is the balm of comfort and compassion. It is uncaused Joy, Beauty and Peace. The Beloved is never absent. It is fully available in every moment.

From this I am made, It is my source and sustenance. I am here on purpose through the will and love of God, a place where God shows up. The Divine breathes through me, beats my heart and renews me in each moment. I am inseparable from this one life, however life is showing up.  All my needs are met within it. I am never alone, the Beloved is as close as my breath.

With this understanding I affirm this prayer for myself and all beings, all life. I accept that  God is with me in all situations, conditions or circumstances. In the appearance of loss and grief I am never alone, the comfort and compassion of the Divine walks with me in all things. I willingly receive this good as my heart breaks open. I allow grief and longing its full expression, I let the tears flow. I let the waves move through me as my heart softens and embraces life more fully, with a deepening passion and tenderness. I honor endings and beginnings with renewed reverence. I recognize the natural cycle of life, the continuity and eternal nature of my and others' physical and spiritual beingness. I am generous and kind to myself. I give this process the time it needs. I am supported and comforted. I gently integrate this experience into my heart, body, mind and spirit. I am transformed and enriched by it. Love grows in me. It is well.

With a grateful heart I acknowlege this spiritual truth of my being, confidant it is already known and done in the heart and arms of the Divine.

And so it is.

A Prayer for Firefighters


A Prayer for our Firefighters’ Safety

This magnificent life shows up everywhere, in the wisdom in the trees and the landscapes that forever changing. 

And this living wisdom expresses itself in the lives of our Firefighters. 

This prayer is for those Firefighters moving toward the fires, assisting in containing and putting the fires out. Understanding that there is a divine intelligence orchestrating all life, I affirm the safety and well-being of all those working to contain the fires.  Protected from the heat, provided with clean air to breathe, supported by a well-trained team that knows how to handle these situations expertly,  I declare the fires are suppressed and those in danger return to safety.

Warm-hearted gratitude is felt for all Firefighters and helpers, and the intuition that guides them and protects them in this challenging work. 

Releasing this prayer now I let it be so.

Amen

Affirmative Prayer for a Pet


One heart one breath, the timeless presence and source of love is that which sustains, creates and  enfolds all within its embrace. It is the allness of life , that one  power which moves divine substance in and out of form, always creating from itself anew. It is the  boundless, limitless essence of all life, everywhere present always available and acting on behalf of creation.

And so I am made of this Divine stuff. As this is true for me this is true for all of God's creation. This one infinite intelligence is around, through and as me. This is also true for my dear pet, all life is an expression of the Divine. There is no separation, I and my pet are connected to each other and the One through Love. We have our being within the One. We are issued from the Divine, each an individual instrument and vessel, created irrevocably whole, perfect and complete. This is the Spiritual Truth of being.

From this understanding  I allow this Truth to fulfill me, to inform, comfort and guide me through this thing called my pet's health and wellness. I affirm and rest in this connection of love that is everpresent. I make choices about my pet's medical care and treatment that honor my resources and their quality of life, aware of the naturally shorter life span of my beloved pet.  I am grateful for  all that is called forth in this relationship, for the softening of my heart through this dear creature God placed in my life. Whether my pet recovers or transitions at this time my life is forever enriched and more deeply connects to all of life through this experience. Love, joy and tenderness fill me. I recognize that all is well, all is well.

I celebrate this Spiritual Truth with an open and grateful heart. I let go and let God, surrendering this prayer unto the Divine from which it came, where it is already known and done before these words were spoken. 

And so it is.

Affirmative Prayer for Guidance

Affirmative Prayer for Guidance

There is only one, everywhere present, all-loving power. It creates anew in each moment, as the source and sustainer of all that is. Its infinite intelligence and boundless potential is always acting on behalf of creation. This irrepressible,  unbreakable force expresses in all life. No thing is outside of its embrace.

I am made of this Divine stuff. I am here on purpose, a place where God shows up. As this is true for me this is true of all life. It is present as my body, mind and spirit. It is in, around, and through every aspect of my being. I am connected to all that is, a part of the one life. As  a vessel and instrument of the Divine, I  am inseparable from the allness of God.

With this understanding I accept that infinite intelligence and potential are fully available to me. I listen to my intuition and trust that I am being informed and guided for the highest and greatest good. I am more sensitive to my body-mind-heart connection that is always communicating and acting on my behalf. I relax and more easily let go of judgement and unhelpful thoughts, giving more space for that which knows it knows. I am lovingly informed and guided with each breath, in the midst of however life is showing up. I turn inward, and listen in the stillness. I welcome my divine partner that always has the greatest good in hand. This activity and awareness allows a more full expression of my wholeness,and inherent connection to all that is. 

With a grateful open heart I celebrate this spiritual truth. It is already known and done before these words were spoken.

I let go and let God. 
And so it is.
