Right Thinking


 
Spirit is everywhere present. Spirit is the source of all creation and is behind all things. Spirit is love and peace. Spirit is beauty and harmony. Spirit is the power for good. This power and presence of Spirit continues to guide us each day. It is always available and ready with spiritual support.

If Spirit is everywhere present, all of the time, then I know Spirit expresses as me in this world. I am one with Spirit as is every sentient being on this planet. We are all made up of Spirit’s attributes of love, peace, beauty and harmony. We all have enough of Spirit’s power for good that sustains us each day.

As I align with Spirit, I feel empowered to use this wisdom I possess wisely. As I lean into Spirit’s love, I now control my thinking so that my mind is always moving in the right direction for more good in my life. I claim right use of my mind now for my good. I affirm that I keep my mind moving in the direction of good mental thoughts and practices. I keep my mind uplifted with motivating words and thoughts. I pay attention to my mind and my thoughts and easily release anything that can harm my mental health. I claim my power now and use it to my advantage.

I am so grateful for aligning with Spirit’s love for me. I am grateful for the power I have within me that guides my way forward.

With glorious grace and gratitude, I release my word now into the law of mind and let it go. And let it be. Amen.

Peace in financial affairs



Spirit is abundant and flows in all directions in perfect harmony. Spirit is unlimited and all encompassing. It is the source of all good, ever expanding through life itself. Spirit is wisdom which is constantly creating balance. Spirit knows no lack or limitation and flows freely bringing peace to every aspect of existence.

I am one with this creative power and presence of Spirit. This same wisdom and goodness flows though me now. This supply of good is infinite and now guides my thoughts and actions. I am expression of Spirit and this peaceful outpouring of good is my true expression.

From this place of unification, I claim peace with my finances now. My relationship with money shows the harmony of the creative power in my life. I experience financial peace as I align with Spirit. I am free from financial anxiety because I am connected to unlimited supply from Spirit. Love guides my financial decisions and Spirit’s intelligence creates perfect order and flow in my financial affairs.

I am so grateful for this time of remembering that Spirit guides me all the time. As I understand my connection to Spirit, I can feel the flow of peace within me.

I release this prayer into the Law and let it be. And so it is.

Respond Lovingly


I recognize the One Life, the One Presence, the One Divine Intelligence that is Love itself—alive in all things, expressing as wisdom, compassion, clarity, and grace. This Presence is not distant; it is the very breath of my being, the quiet knowing within my heart, the steady light that has always guided me.

I know that this same Divine Intelligence lives as me, thinks as me, loves as me. There is nothing lacking in me, nothing to defend, nothing to prove. I am already whole, already worthy, already enough—just as I am in this sacred moment.

I now release the habit of defensiveness. I gently lay it down, knowing it was only ever a misunderstanding of my own strength. I forgive myself completely for moments when assumptions clouded my hearing or when I took offense where no harm was intended. I choose compassion over reaction, curiosity over protection, and understanding over fear. My heart softens, my mind clears, and my spirit remembers its natural state of openness and ease.

I affirm that I am guided—moment by moment—by Divine Intelligence. My words are thoughtful, my listening is deep, and my responses are rooted in love. I see others clearly, with generosity and goodwill, and I allow myself that same kindness. I move through conversations and collaborations with grace, trusting that clarity and harmony are always available to me.

As I step into upcoming projects, I do so with lightness, joy, and confidence. I support others with sincerity and encouragement, and I support myself with unwavering self-respect and love. What I bring matters. Who I am is enough. Love leads, and I follow.

I give thanks for this inner shift already in motion—for the healing, the awareness, and the freedom unfolding now. I trust this prayer is accepted, activated, and fulfilled in perfect ways.

And so it is.
