With God's love in my heart, I fully experience the happiness of life.
Happiness is a state of heart and mind. It is mine to choose. When I rise each morning, I think positively. I begin my day with a smile on my face and a song in my heart that says "Thank You, God, for another perfect day."
I spread happiness in my interactions with others. Through a simple smile and a cheerful outlook, I lift the spirits of family and friends. I look on the light side of life, realizing that goodness and love can be found every moment of every day.
My heart and mind are open to the inspiration of God as the source of my love and enthusiasm for life. I live the peace and happiness God created me to experience.
Happy are those who live in your house, ever singing your praise.--Psalm 84:4

Integrity
I am centered in the integrity of Spirit.
I dedicate myself to do what I know to be right and good for all concerned. Standing centered in the integrity of Spirit, I express respect and honesty in my thoughts, words and actions. My intention to live a life of integrity goes before me, making straight my way. I go about my day and my life with Spirit as my moral compass, achieving my goals to the best of my ability.
Integrity clothes itself in many garments. It is called honesty, honor, virtue and knowing oneness with God. When I consistently light my candle of integrity, I extinguish the negativity and fear in my world. With each reliable, truthful choice, I am a blessing. I bring light into the world by living from the integrity of my Christ-center.
He walked with me in integrity and uprightness, and he turned many from iniquity.--Malachi 2:6

Prosperity
I give and receive with an attitude of gratitude.
Abundance is mine, and I am so grateful for it! I see the abundance of God all around me--in the smiles of children, in the thoughtful gestures of people with whom I come in contact, and in the special gifts I give and receive.
This time of year, when I may feel depleted of time and resources, I make it a point to change my attitude. I know that all good things are readily available to me. I retain an attitude of gratitude for all I give and all I receive.
I embrace and enjoy this season with positivity, thankful for the many blessings it brings me and knowing that abundance is mine today and every day.
I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because he judged me faithful and appointed me to his service.--1 Timothy 1:12

Gift
Centered in God, I realize my life is a wonderful gift.
Each morning there is a gift on my pillow, waiting to be unwrapped. As soon as I open my eyes I see it--a bright new day has dawned. The best thing about this gift is that I get to make it whatever I choose.
I begin with gratitude, giving thanks for my life, my breath and the possibilities of a new beginning. I go about my activities with enthusiasm, noticing love and beauty and laughter. If a conflict arises, I bring what I choose to the situation. I add compassion, forgiveness and understanding.
Filled with gratitude for the joy of being alive, I conclude my day with prayer and meditation. I close my eyes and I am restored by a night of peaceful rest.
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.--Psalm 118:24

Tranquility
I relax into the renewing peace and calm of God.
Just as I feel refreshed after a good night's sleep, I am rejuvenated during quiet times of reflection and communion with God. My time apart may be a quiet hour in a serene place or single moments focused on God in the midst of seeming chaos.
I turn inward to the place of peace that reveals God to me. I relax. With each moment of silence and with each calming breath, I am aware of the wholeness that I am. Cares slip away, and I am at peace.
In this season when winter nights grow longer and nature comes into its time of rest, I respond in kind. I relax into the renewing peace and calm of God. Tranquility is the blessing of my time apart, and I carry it with me through every moment of this day.
He said to them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while."--Mark 6:31

Abundance
I am blessed beyond measure.
I am grateful for the simple things in life--streets decorated with colored lights, the night sky ablaze with a thousand tiny stars. I am struck by the beauty that is mine to enjoy.
During a meal with friends, I notice the many ways I am nourished, body and soul. When the sun warms my face or I pull a coat around me against the cold wind, I feel enfolded in the love of God. Lending a helping hand to a stranger or sharing a word of encouragement with a child, I am reminded of all that I have to give.
I count my blessings for the small things, and I am grateful for the abundant good in my life. In large and small ways, I am blessed.
Joseph stored up grain in such abundance--like the sand of the sea--that he stopped measuring it; it was beyond measure.--Genesis 41:49

Pray for Others
I see you as God sees you, a perfect expression of Spirit.
When I pray, I see beyond any appearance of difficulty in the lives of my dear ones. I release any thoughts of doubt or worry and see them as God sees them: perfect expressions of Spirit. I see the radiant Christ of their beings. I affirm that the power of the Christ within each one is mighty to heal any condition because God's life within is perfect life. I know there is no decision, no choice, no concern that is greater than Divine Mind expressing in each individual as wisdom, right judgment and guidance. I see myself and each person I hold in prayer as open channels for the abundant flow of God's good as health, love and prosperity.
Then turning to the disciples, Jesus said to them privately, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see!"--Luke 10:23

Harmony
Harmony is established in my relationships.
If I've had a disagreement with another person, I can try a new approach to set things right. I pray and invite God's love to open my eyes, my ears and my heart to a deeper understanding of my relationships with others. I let love guide me to listen in nonjudgmental ways, allowing the lines of communication to open.
By looking at circumstances more thoughtfully, I find points of agreement with the people in my life. These commonalities help me interact with others in ways that promote kindness and compassion.
As I allow the love of God to permeate my thoughts and actions, harmony is established in my relationships.
Agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.--2 Corinthians 13:11

Light
I trust the light of Spirit to show me the way.
Gazing at the flame of a candle can be a relaxing practice leading into deep meditation and contemplation. The light of the candle reflects the light of Spirit within me and reminds me of the spiritual light that shines within everyone.
I trust the light of Spirit to show me the way whenever life becomes complex or confusing. I become still inside, and when I do, I grow in my awareness of the flame that burns within me as life energy.
The light of Spirit transforms the thoughts I hold in mind, the words I speak and the actions I take. Spirit's light allows me to see the light in others and in myself and respond to life in a whole new way.
No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house."Matthew 5:15

Comfort
The love of God is my true source of comfort and strength.
On a cool autumn evening I may enjoy the warmth and comfort of sitting by the fire or sipping a hot cup of tea. The comfort and care I give myself and others are ways in which the love of God is manifest in my life. In these peaceful moments, I understand that I am beloved of God.
To deepen my experience of peace and comfort, I turn within to the silence and immerse myself in God's love and protection. I relax into the divine Presence that is the source of my comfort and strength. I am blessed to know that the presence of God is with me at all times and in all situations.
Whenever I turn within, God's gentle whisper of assurance fills my soul with peace.
As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you.--Isaiah 66:13

Inner Peace
I express peace and serenity in thought, word and action.
While sitting alone in a quiet place, I enter into the silence for my daily time of meditation. I embrace the peace and serenity within me and around me. If there are noises or disturbances, I am not bothered. I visualize the presence of God within the space. I envision the light of God above me and below me, before me and behind me.
I see myself and those I love in the center of this light, in the midst of God's enfoldment, surrounded by everlasting peace. My body, mind and spirit are quiet and peaceful.
When I am ready, I go back to the activities of my day and carry with me the experience of inner peace by expressing peace and serenity in all I think, say and do.
He went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.--Matthew 14:23

One With God
I am one with God every moment of every day.
What does it mean to be one with God? Is it a feeling in my heart? Is it an assurance deep within my soul? Perhaps it is an inner knowing that, regardless of appearances or circumstances, I am one with the peaceful, all-providing presence of God.
The word oneness implies a sense of belonging. I belong with God. I am one with the spirit of God, the Spirit that is forever guiding me, protecting me and strengthening me in mind and body. My oneness with God assures me that I am never alone. I am one with God day and night. Knowing that God is with me and within me, I feel safe and connected, healthy and whole, assured of peace in all situations.
He came to her and said, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you."--Luke 1:28

Courage
With the courage of God, I take charge of my life.
Though I cannot control every circumstance in my life, I can choose my perception and response in every situation. My only challenge may be my own fear-based thoughts of lack and limitation. When I courageously decide to look at things differently, I realize I have all I need to overcome any seeming difficulty.
I affirm this truth: The presence and power of God are with me and within me always. In God, I have the qualities and resources, the strength and courage to take charge of my thoughts and my life. I claim and realize the good in every situation. Blessed with the power to choose how I show up in life, I am confident and courageous every day.
Be strong and of good courage, and act.Do not be afraid or dismayed; for the Lord God, my God, is with you.--1 Chronicles 28:20

Free
I am free to be all that I wish to be!
Freedom is more than a condition that exists for me in the physical world. Freedom is the essence of my being. It moves from the spirit of God within me out into my life.
I am free to be all that I want to be. I am free to change and to grow. I am free to release any harmful habit I am ready to release, and to adopt any life-enhancing habit I am ready to adopt.
I am free to grow both spiritually and intellectually. I don't let time or circumstances stand in my way. God has set no limitations on me. Through the spirit of God within me, I have the freedom to be my best and do my best in accomplishing my heart's desire. I live in the truth that I am free!
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.--Philippians 4:13
