Divinely guided, I move forward with confidence.
Throughout each day, I have the opportunity to make many choices. From the friends I choose to the thoughts I think--everything is a choice, a manifestation of the unlimited possibilities before me.
As I prepare for an activity, I turn to God in prayer and give thanks for guidance and inspiration in making choices. I call on the inner resources at the core of my being to respond to any situation.
Although in any given moment it might appear that my choices are limited, I know this is an illusion created by my narrow human view. With spiritual eyes, I see infinite possibilities, and I make each choice with confidence and peace.
For the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.--Proverbs 3:26

Free
I am free to choose how I create my day.
As I awaken each morning, I have a choice to make. How will I approach this God-given day? Will I begin by appreciating the freshness of a new day or by agonizing over my to-do list? When I remember that I am free to choose how I think, I consciously decide to not spend my precious energy in self-defeating ways.
God has blessed me with freedom. I choose today to make conscious choices about my health, my habits and my attitude. As I do, I feel energized. I have a sense of purpose. I feel renewed, creative and ready to do what is mine to do. Whatever situations or circumstances I face today, I know I am never alone. God is with me, "and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom!"
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.--2 Corinthians 3:17

Value
I value and give thanks for my oneness with God.
When I think of the things that I value most in life, I may turn my thoughts to my relationships and experiences or to certain material things--my home or possessions. But all of these things are secondary to my faith in God.
I am at one with God, attuned to a higher presence and power. Through God's wisdom within me, I am open to divine ideas, renewed and revitalized, guided and prospered. As I appreciate my relationship with God, everything else in my life falls into place. All that I need and desire is provided in the right time and in the right way. My oneness with God is the foundation of my life. I know that I am divinely cared for each day.
Trust in the Lord, and do good; so you will live in the land, and enjoy security.--Psalm 37:3

Will
I choose my good based on spiritual understanding.
There may be times when I wonder if I am truly doing God's will; if what I want to do serves the highest good. In those moments I know that guidance is available to me. I pause and quiet my thoughts. Closing my eyes, I allow my breath to become my focus. My inhale carries wisdom through my heart to every cell of my body. My exhale releases confusion and doubt from my mind. I experience the stillness of the presence of God and gently discern my next step.
I make choices knowing that my desire is to do God's work. I follow the guidance and understanding that I am given. I am an expression of God's love, peace, harmony and abundance in the world.
For it is God who is at work in you, enabling you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.--Philippians 2:13

Pray for Others
I know that all things are possible, and I give thanks.
Dear one, I am praying for you today. You may be someone I have known for a long time or someone I just met, but regardless, I know you are divine in nature, a beloved creation of a loving God.
As I think of you, I envision perfection in mind, body and spirit. The presence of God within enables you to make wise choices and to heal in every way. God's abundance is in the very essence of your being. I envision you having everything you need to fulfill your hopes and desires.
I pray for you, and I release any need for a particular outcome. I know that all good things are possible for you and the people you care about, and for this, I give thanks.
We always pray for you, asking that our God will ... fulfill by his power every good resolve and work of faith.--2 Thessalonians 1:11

Vacation
I take time to relax and restore my mind and body.
Spiritual teachers know the importance of taking time apart. Whether they spend time in a quiet place of beauty or embark upon a new adventure, time away from routine activities is a source of renewal.
My schedule may be filled with activities for work, family, fellowship and friends. But as important as my work and relationships are, it is also vital that I spend time away from my routine. As I allow myself time for rest and renewal, I open my awareness to the radiance of the Christ of my being and feel it expanding. Whether I am in the silence or immersed in the exhilaration of new activities, the energy of the Christ light infuses my body with vitality and my mind with peace. After a time apart, I am rested and restored.
After saying farewell to them, he went up on the mountain to pray.--Mark 6:46

Let Go, Let God
I lean trustingly on God and let go.
As I release old thoughts from my mind, I release old emotions from my heart. To release the old provides room for the new. A cup cannot be refilled unless it is first emptied. This day presents me with the opportunity to empty the cup, and to release old thoughts, emotions and conditions that no longer serve me.
I quietly release the old by saying, "I let go and let God." Such a prayer is practical and effective. It makes it easy to relinquish the things from which I wish to be free.
In this newfound freedom, my spirit sings. Not only do I find release from the old, but I prepare myself for new thoughts, new emotions and new conditions through which I may express more of the Holy Spirit.
Everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!--2 Corinthians 5:17

Gratefulness
I am grateful for simply being.
Counting my blessings is a thoughtful practice, which helps me maintain an attitude of gratitude. It is good, though, to move beyond gratitude for people, places and things, to gratefulness for existence itself.
Going within, I begin by appreciating this moment of peace. Then I become grateful for simply being. This shift in consciousness allows me to fully experience my oneness with the divine Presence, oneness with all that is. The peace I feel is expansive. My gratitude opens wide the realization that I am more than my body, my personality, my experiences--I am an expression of the Divine. I've been given this moment in time to exist in this world, to love and to serve, to follow my bliss. And for this, I am truly grateful.
I will thank you forever.--Psalm 52:9

Healing
I claim my innate health and wholeness.
Out loud I affirm: I am in excellent health. I am whole and well. Then I repeat these words until they take hold in my heart and mind. I act and speak in ways that demonstrate health and wholeness.
I put my focus and my words squarely on what I know is true--that I am a perfect expression of God. Every thought, action and word is powerful. Whispers of doubt and preoccupation with illness serve no purpose. I notice how my body reacts to the words I use. Do I feel weaker? Stronger?
I choose my words carefully, whether they are words of prayer or conversation. I choose words of strength and power. I claim my health and wholeness.
Rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.--Proverbs 12:18
