Divine power fills me with joy today.
Like waves in the ocean or birds in the sky, I am uplifted by divine power expressing through me. As I pray and go about my activities, God is the power that fills me with joy. Just as energy moves the waves and wind lifts the birds, this joy radiates throughout my being, filling me with energy and enthusiasm for life.
I find joy in simple things like spending time with a friend or enjoying the beauty of nature. I am aware of the simple, joy-filled moments and collect them as treasures. Joy shapes my thoughts and flows out into my conversations and actions.
I experience joy as the truth of my being and the divine energy in my life.
"For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy."--Psalm 63:7

Grace
I move gracefully through life as the Christ presence guides me.
The familiar phrase "Nobody's perfect!" may help me accept a human failing or setback and keep it in perspective. But in Truth, through grace, the correct phrase is actually "Everybody's perfect!"
There is a part of each and every creation that is perfect--the Christ presence within. This divine aspect of my being is ever- present. Before any activity or decision, and especially if I don't feel up to the task at hand, I turn within and call upon my inner strength and divine perfection.
The power and presence of the Christ within is always available to help me gracefully move through life. While it may seem at times that "nobody's perfect," all is perfect through the grace of God.
"Each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ's gift."--Ephesians 4:7

A Way
God is my help in every need.
In "The Prayer of Faith," Hannah More Kohaus begins: "God is my help in every need. God does my every hunger feed. God walks beside me, guides my way, through every moment of the day."
With God, there is always a way to meet life's challenges, to rise above what appear to be limiting circumstances. There is always a way to restore wholeness and peace of mind, to experience joy and to grow in spiritual understanding. God is the loving, all- providing presence within me, the unwavering principle of truth and love.
God brings forth the good in any situation. I turn within to God in prayer with faith and expectancy, knowing there is a way through any shadow into the light.
"God, I am listening. God, I will abide in you. You are my help in every need." "For nothing will be impossible with God."--Luke 1:37

Prosperity
I am open to abundance and prospered in every way.
As I greet the sun and behold the blessings of an abundant universe, my heart thrills to God's provision. I begin this day filled with a spirit of thanksgiving.
I am grateful for the many ways my life is enriched, for the loving relationships, supportive surroundings and creative outlets for expressing my own God-given gifts.
As I use my gifts to touch the lives of others, I am even more blessed in return. Giving from the abundance that comes my way, I am assured that by sharing, I open to even greater prosperity and fulfillment.
My appreciation for God's blessings grows with each passing day.
"Your heart shall thrill and rejoice, because the abundance of the sea shall be brought to you."--Isaiah 60:5

World Peace
Our expressions of love and compassion create a world at peace.

Faith
I trust God in every moment.

God is my source of understanding and wisdom, the ever-present love that leads me to form meaningful relationships and take purposeful action. In God, I am assured that order and harmony transcend temporary appearances.
As I connect with the love of God, I know that all things are possible. I trust in God, and I face the world with courage and confidence.

Divine Order
I trust in God.
There may be occasions in my life and in the lives of others when events make absolutely no sense to me. The loss of a job, an encounter with a serious illness, or some other aspect of my life may tempt me to cry out, "Why, God?"
In every instance, God has already established a divine plan that will carry me through to the other side of any challenge I may experience.
My mission is simply to seek out the good that lies at the heart of any adversity. God knows my right and perfect opportunity for employment, partnership, health and wholeness. My life is in the care of God, and I trust in divine order.
"Jesus heard that they had driven him out, and when he found him, he said, 'Do you believe in the Son of Man?' ... He said, 'Lord, I believe.'"--John 9:35, 38

Gratitude
I am grateful for the people and experiences in my life.
When I consider the many people who have helped me in my life, I am deeply grateful. Family, friends, teachers and colleagues--each has taught me something about life and myself.
I consider the profound blessing of these people and the difference they have made for me. I open my heart to a simple prayer of gratitude by speaking their names or visualizing their faces. I bless each one.
Next I turn to look at the events of my life and bless each situation for the lessons learned and the wisdom gained.
I am grateful for love given and received and for the rich experiences of this life's journey.
"I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you."--Philippians 1:3-4

At Home
My heart is at home in love.
If my life's journey calls for a move to a new location, it's comforting to know that God is always with me and within me. Though I may miss familiar people and places, I'm happy to meet new friends and explore new surroundings.
Wherever I go, I make myself at home by sharing the love in my heart. I am encouraged as I look for the best in every person and situation. I have faith that whatever I seek, I will find.
All things work together for my highest good. Even though I may be far from my former home, I relax and affirm that all is well right here and now. No matter where a relocation takes me, home is with me in my heart.
"Happy are those who live in your house, ever singing your praise."--Psalm 84:4

Yes or No
I say "Yes!" to life.
Feelings of indecision or uncertainty may have stopped me in my tracks in the past. Now I see such times as opportunities to draw from inner resources to make the decisions that are right for me.
Setting an intention to open my mind to the gentle nudges of Spirit, I pause for a quiet moment of prayer. Through communion with God, I receive the guidance to say yes or no to the opportunities that come my way.
At times I will confidently say "yes!" to a richer, fuller experience of life. In other situations, I will confidently say "no" to circumstances that do not lead to my highest good.
With God's constant guidance, I am filled with assurance that whether my word is yes or no, I am taking the right action.
"Let your word be 'Yes, Yes' or 'No, No.'"--Matthew 5:37

Healing
Life-giving energy flows throughout my body.
I am renewed. Divine energy flows in and through God's creations, renewing, restoring, uplifting. I see this energy in the exuberance of a child, in the beauty of a flower blossom and in the vibrant display of autumn's colors. I feel it in the warmth of the sun's rays, the freshness of a gentle breeze.
As I align my thoughts with life and wholeness, I feel divine energy in my own body as well. I am in the flow of life-giving energy, and it is in me. I praise my body and give thanks for its efficient and reliable functioning. It is God's beautiful expression of life. The divine energy that flows through all of creation flows through me. I am renewed in mind, body and spirit. Thank You, God.
"'For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.' They said to him, 'Sir, give us this bread always.'"--John 6:33-34

Momentum
I have the support I need to succeed.
Many worthwhile endeavors are not completed quickly, but rather take time. I know that each experience I have builds on something I have learned or experienced in the past. It's as though I'm building a life brick by brick.
The decisions I make and the lessons I learn may seem to result in only small steps forward. But with each one, I build momentum toward the accomplishment of my goals.
Whether I'm following an exercise program, learning a new skill or developing a savings plan, the creation process is a spiritual one. I rely on God for help, support and guidance. I trust the creative process, knowing that I have the strength, will and energy I need to succeed.
"Be strong and courageous ... for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."--Joshua 1:9

One Power
There is only one power in my life and in the universe, God the good.
I begin my day by affirming, "There is only one power in my life and in the universe, God the good." This affirmation helps me keep my focus on God and see God active in my life.
There may be times when people or conditions seem to have a certain power over me. But I remind myself that things only have the power I give them. Releasing any belief in the power of anyone or anything to take away my good, I return to my morning affirmation. There is only ONE power in my life and in those around me--and that power is God.
Centered in divine power, I am at peace. If there is an action I am to take to help restore my health, prosperity or harmony, I am receptive to the guidance and wisdom of the One Power, God the good.

Feelings of insecurity may creep up on me from time to time. If so, I take a moment to observe the thoughts behind my feelings. Rather than dwell on what might go wrong, I choose to focus on God's powerful, protecting presence within and around me.
With each slow, deep breath, I am filled with peace. God is greater than my fears, and I am God's beloved. I call upon divine strength and feel my strength increasing.
