Affirmative Prayer for our Local Economy

A prayer for our local economy

There is one loving Presence, one perfect Life. It is the life of the divine Spirit and Its nature is perfect circulation, abundance and  balance. It is the very movement of this divine Spirit that flows through all aspects of creation, generating and giving freely the highest good in every moment.

All of creation is participating in the balanced and generous flow of the loving Spirit. There is nothing that can hinder the flow of the Almighty. This includes everything about the economy. It includes all money, all financial affairs, all transactions, all accounts, all business, all institutions  and all individuals.

From this understanding of the oneness of all of life and the way the nature of the divine Spirit is also the nature of all of our affairs, I accept a healthy, balanced, abundant economy. I declare that there is growth and expansion in perfect right order and in perfect right timing. I affirm that the economy in our community and the economy of every individual is fully guided by the powerful, loving Presence that has created life itself. Nothing is lacking or missing, there is only the free-flowing abundance of the one loving Presence. I accept the full manifestation of a healthy economy for each individual and each business. Perfect balance and abundance are fully active in our economy.

Feeling the fullness of this declaration and standing in the power of its truth, I rest in gratitude.

In faith and confidence, knowing all is well, I let go and trust in its full manifestation.

And So It Is

Affirmative Prayer for Doctors in our Community

A prayer for Doctors in our community

There is just one Mind, one Heart, one divine infinite Source of all existence. It is the one healing Power, the one perfect Intelligence and it guides all of life into perfect expression. This is the truth of all that is formed and all that is unformed, seen and unseen. This is the life of God the living Spirit almighty and It is eternal.

All beings everywhere are one with this one Mind, one Heart and this includes the Doctors in our community. Each one is born of the one perfect Intelligence that has created all of life.

From this recognition of oneness I accept for all Doctors in our community divine guidance in every aspect of their work. I accept on their behalf excellent listening skills, clear communication, unlimited access to information and resources, kindness and excellent discernment. I declare that all the support systems and institutions that are needed for Doctors to do their healing work are fully in place. I accept peace of mind, health and renewal for each one. I declare on their behalf that everything that supports excellent medical and surgical care is fully available including testing procedures, medications, equipment and personnel. I accept respect and value for their contribution to the well-being to our community. I affirm the highest good for all Doctors for the benefit of all and the harm of none-this or something greater.

I celebrate this shift in awareness regarding the Doctors in our community. I give thanks for all the healing that unfolds as a result of this prayer.

I release this Word into the Law of Mind and Spirit and let it be so.

And So It Is

A Prayer for the Children

A Prayer for the Children in our Community

There is one loving God-Presence. Its love is perfect and kind and unconditional. It is the love of the supreme Father and the love of the divine Mother that is eternally giving itself to all of Its children. What ever name we call the Beloved, Its power to heal is absolute. It is the powerful protection of God that reigns over all of life. It is the nurturing generosity of God that sustains all of life.

Each child, all of the children in our community, are included in this love.  Each one is fully united with the divine Presence, each one protected and nurtured by God.

I accept therefore on behalf of all the children in our community a life filled with love; pure, powerful, unconditional love. I affirm safety, shelter, nourishment, learning, fun, self confidence, respect, joy, health and wonder for each and every child. I accept that each person that is in some way responsible for the care of children is kind, and patient and loving. All needs are met by the generosity of the living God. All systems that are in place to care for children such as schools, medical care, food, housing, have all the resources they need. All children get the positive attention they need and deserve. All families are united in harmony and love. All siblings, parents, grandparents, teachers and others are divinely guided to support each precious, individual child fully and completely. Children are cherished for their uniqueness and encouraged in their creativity. The voices of the children are heard and valued. We all bow down to the beauty and preciousness of each child. A guiding hand is always available to each child and to each one caring for children.

I am so grateful for the powerful realization of God’s protective presence for every child. I give thanks for the love that is present always.

I let this prayer of faith be complete unto itself, knowing that it is the hand of God that expresses and manifests its highest intention.

And So It Is. 

A Prayer for the Air in our Community

A prayer for the air in our community

There is one pure, loving Spirit that exists everywhere, all the time.  This Spirit is forever renewing Itself. It is the very breath of life. Its nature is balance and order. It is the intelligence of the Spirit that guides all of the natural resources into perfect expression.

The very air that we breathe is an essential aspect of this perfect Spirit.

I declare that the air in our community and the air everywhere is right now expressing its own natural perfection. I accept that the power of the divine Spirit renews and refreshes the air continuously. I accept divine guidance and new found awareness for each one who has an impact on the quality of the air around us. I affirm that new technologies are right now being formed that protect the precious air that we breathe and also protect the plants that purify the air. Our air is the breath of God, ever renewing itself and always nurturing all of life.

I am so grateful for this realization of the truth about our air. I give thanks for all that conspires to keep the air pure for the well being of all beings.

I release this word into the creative law of the Spirit, in faith and confidence that it is already so.

And So It Is

There is one Life, one Power, one Presence that guides all of existence into its most perfect expression. Its nature is balance, harmony and abundance. This powerful, guiding Presence is infinite and eternal. It is all-knowing and forever giving.

Every aspect of agriculture in our community is included in this one Life.

Therefore, I recognize and realize the perfect balance and harmony that is expressing through agriculture right now. I accept divine guidance for all those in charge of making decisions that affect agriculture. I accept excellent stewardship of the soil and water in every field and garden. I affirm the nourishing abundance of all of the crops that are grown here. I affirm the safety of all those who work in agriculture in the growing, processing and distributing of the food and other products. I know that we are all richly blessed by the nourishing foods that are produced in our community. I accept the highest good for every aspect of agriculture in our community and for the environment in which it takes place. I bless all of the wildlife who share this land with us. I declare that perfect harmony and balance are fully present in all of these activities.

Feeling and sensing the power of this universal truth, I give thanks as I release this prayer into the natural law that governs the universe. And I let it be.

Prayer for the New Year

Prayer for Acceptance and Opening by Bette Smith

There is only one thing going on here and now and that is God.  In every moment, in every action and circumstance, God is.  God is in the winds and rain, and in the dark of night and the same in the light of day.  God is everywhere, all around, always available, all knowing, all powerful, all wise.  God is love and peace, joy and wisdom, eternally, now and always.

I am a creative expression of God.  I am love and peace; I am wisdom and joy now and forever.  I am the light of God, showing up here and now and relaxing into this knowing.  And what is true for me is absolutely true for each one of us.  Each one is a creative expression of God, filled to overflowing with love and wisdom, joy and freedom.  Each one of us blessed with a love that has no end.    Equal in God’s love, each of us has at our center a wellspring of peace and ease, love and power.            

From this place of unification, I now claim a blessing for this New Year.  I claim a gentle and easy opening to expand into my understanding of that unifying force of God.  With open arms, I declare a welcoming to what is yet to be.  Although the end is not in sight, God lights my way one step at a time and the path is easy and clear.   I bravely take that first step now and claim my intention for 2013 realizing the power and love of God within. 

With great gratitude for this time of opening and expansion, I allow a shift of consciousness.  I am grateful and thankful, and I feel so blessed.

Feeling confident in the power of my word, I release it into the law and let it be.  

And so it is. Amen.
