I draw on God's love within to forgive.
Forgiveness is an act of love. As I forgive, I release negative energy that may manifest as resentment or anger. I open the way for something positive to happen. If I feel wronged or annoyed, I release the impulse to judge. The lines of communication remain open, and understanding flows freely. Relationships with family, friends and colleagues flourish when I act with compassion and easily forgive. I relate to others in harmonious ways.
I exercise the same forgiving attitude toward myself. If I have erred, I learn from it and move on. I draw from the reservoir of God's love within me to give and receive forgiveness.
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."--Luke 6:37

Let Go, Let God
I open to Spirit and follow divine guidance.
I have journeyed to a crossroads of opportunity. This is a place for me to pause and reflect upon the road I have been travelling and the choice that lies ahead.
I imagine that I have just walked through the desert and have now reached an oasis with refreshing water, a cool breeze and a hammock tied between two shade-giving trees. I have reached a welcome refuge.
I experience this kind of an oasis as I let go of personal striving--trying to do it all myself--and let God guide me. A sense of calm washes over me as I release my concerns and trust that God will show me the way.
I pause, I listen and I discern the guidance I have been seeking. Following the guidance I receive leads me to my greater good.
"If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit."--Galatians 5:25

Hope
The light and love of God within me shine brightly.
A dark cloud in the sky can seem ominous, but no cloud can stop the sun from shining. Above the clouds, the sun shines as brightly as ever.
Regardless of any shadow clouding my day, the love of God within is ever present, always shining, blessing me with guidance, inspiration and hope.
At any time, I may reconnect with the infinite love of God within. I center myself in meditation and prayer, and the light of wisdom and understanding grows. Nothing in the outer world is beyond the power of God's love to transform.
"Your life will be brighter than the noonday; its darkness will be like the morning. And you will have confidence, because there is hope. "Job 11:17-18

Divine Love
I do all that I do in love.
Any activity or task can be sacred. Rather than acting absentmindedly, I stay present to the task at hand, and I do it with love.
Whether I'm completing a routine chore or spending time with someone dear, I infuse my words and actions with love. Routine activities are thereby transformed into sacred and meaningful expressions of God.
I focus my attention on one activity at a time, letting God's love move through me as I complete the task. I am thoughtful, centered and at peace.
I approach all activities today from a place of love, feeling and expressing the peace of God.
"He said to them, 'Pay attention to what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you.'"--Mark 4:24

Healing
I am a whole and holy being, an expression of divine perfection.
When I look in the mirror, am I able to see my body as a beautiful, unique, divine creation? Or am I only noticing what I perceive as flaws? If I focus on a problem or illness, I lose sight of the divine energy within each cell of my body. This innate power can transform any apparent challenge into an experience of radiant health and wholeness.
I accelerate the healing process by visualizing each part of my body functioning perfectly. I see divine energy bringing wholeness to every cell. I transcend any limitation as I hold to the truth of my being--I am a whole and holy being, an expression of divine perfection.
"Let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that this man is standing before you in good health by the name of Jesus Christ."--Acts 4:10

Harmony
I am in harmony with God's beautiful world.
A summer bouquet may include an assortment of flowers in a rainbow of colors. The variety makes the whole bouquet even more beautiful.
I realize I am one flower in the wondrous bouquet of humanity. Without judging or comparing myself to others, I enjoy the unique beauty in all of us. I am a divine expression of God and so is everyone else. As I value our commonalities and our differences, I experience harmony.
I relax into knowing that I am loved and that I have a unique contribution to make. As I learn to love myself, I am at peace--with myself and others. Living in peace, I am in harmony with God's beautiful world.
"The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come."--Song of Solomon 2:12

Comfort
Divine love is my comfort in an ever-changing world.
Every day I am reminded that things of the world are temporary, but things of the Spirit are eternal. The Earth has changed over the eons, but God is unchanging. God is Life, the essence of life in all. God is Love, encompassing all the love that has ever been.
Turning within I find the constant, eternal love of God is my constant comfort. No matter what happens in the external world, within my heart is a place of peace, untouched. I close my eyes, take a deep cleansing breath and become aware of this quiet place. No matter where I am or what is happening around me, I am comforted by the One Love that is always here.
"Let your steadfast love become my comfort according to your promise to your servant."--Psalm 119:76

Something New
I experience life in a new way.
When I feel challenged by a situation, I look upon it as an opportunity to move beyond old ways of thinking. I dare to try something new.
Before I move ahead, I prepare myself in prayer. Prayer is the foundation for right action. Rather than taking hasty action, I pray my way to a divine solution.
In the stillness, I share my concerns with God. Then I release them. I spend some time here in the silence where I am open to receive guidance and direction on the next steps to take. Now I am ready to move forward with clarity, confidence and courage.
With God's help, I welcome the opportunity to experience life in a new way.
"See, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare."--Isaiah 42:9

Inner Peace
I am one with God. I am one with infinite peace.
A sleeping infant is a picture of peace, a precious creation of God. We are all God's precious creations, designed with unlimited capacity to express peace.
In a difficult or unsettling time, I may become distracted, forgetting who I really am. If I am focused on worries or anxious about tomorrow, I may feel restless and uneasy.
Yet the indwelling peace of God has not left me. In a moment of prayer or meditation, I may return to my true nature. As I turn to the spirit of God within, I rediscover my inner strength and my innate center of peace.
As an expression of God, I find that I can be calm, serene and secure in every circumstance. I am one with infinite peace.
"Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you."--Philippians 4:9

Quiet Time
I take time to replenish my mind, body and spirit.
Like plants that need sunshine and nutrients to flourish, I, too, need to replenish my mind, body and spirit. If my energy seems to fade or a healing challenge arises, I welcome the opportunity for physical and spiritual renewal.
In quiet time, I acknowledge God as the source of healing life. As I relax, my connection with the spirit of God within grows stronger. I visualize my cells and tissues expressing new energy and my entire being revitalized.
I come away from this time of reflection refreshed, giving thanks for the renewal of my mind, body and spirit.
"In all your ways acknowledge him ... It will be a healing for your flesh and a refreshment for your body."--Proverbs 3:6, 8

The truth is that I am living in a "land flowing with milk and honey" right here and right now. There is a constant flow of good in my life. My prosperity includes the assurance that wholeness, wisdom and strength are mine. Knowing this, I am bold in spirit. I am aware of my own divine potential for living the life of my dreams.
I accept the abundance of God that is always flowing to me and through me. I give and receive joyously and gratefully.
