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.

Prayer of Peace and Comfort for myself

Recognition: There is one presence, one infinite love, holding all of life in its embrace. It is the source of everything—an endless wellspring of wisdom, compassion, and peace. This love is always here, steady and unwavering, moving through time and space, guiding all things with quiet grace.

Unification: I am held in this presence, deeply connected to it, as are all people everywhere. No matter what is happening in the world around me, I can rest in the truth that I am never alone.

Realization: I open my heart to this love, allowing it to fill me with spaciousness, acceptance, and creativity. With each breath, I soften into this sacred connection, knowing that I am gently guided toward kindness, inclusion, and truth. Through this prayer, I awaken to the deep reality of our oneness—that we are each a part of something vast, something whole. Even in uncertainty, there is a divine order unfolding, a current of healing and renewal moving beneath all things. Life continues to bloom in new and unexpected ways, always offering fresh possibilities. I welcome this peace into my heart. I let it ease my worries, soothe my spirit, and remind me that I am supported by something greater than myself.

Gratitude: I breathe in this deep knowing, and I allow gratitude to rise—softly, warmly, filling every part of me. I am grateful for these gifts and the realization of this truth.

Release: I release this word into the Law and so it is.

Surrender

 
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, and which is good and only good. Spirit is peace, joy, harmony and balance. Spirit is abundance and prosperity, health and wisdom. 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 giving to all of its creation.

Because I exist, then I, too, must be a part of the creative essence of Spirit. The love, peace, and joy that Spirit is surrounds me and fills me, and it is mine to accept in every moment, for Spirit is in 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. Each of us is surrounded and imbued with all the goodness and all-ness that Life has to offer.

And so as I speak my word in the first person, I invite all who are reading this to join with me in accepting a deep surrender into the ease, peace, and comfort of Spirit. I declare that my faith is growing greater than ever before, and that my spiritual practice is deep and consistent - feeding my body, mind, and spirit. As I allow myself to be immersed in Spirit, I can easily recognize guidance as to what is mine to do - as well as what is mine to let go of. I allow myself to feel a deep sense of gratitude for the shifts and openings taking place. I joyously recognize the power of gratitude, and that it comes easily and naturally to me in my daily life.

I’m so excited and grateful for this awareness and it’s manifestation in my life,

And it is with this gratitude that I release this, my word, into the creative essence known as the Law, to be made manifest in form and action for the highest and greatest good of all, and the harm to none.

And so it is, amen.
