I participate in the flow of life with flexibility and trust.
How often do I struggle with a problem and try to force a desired outcome? This urge may be natural, but not always beneficial. Letting go and letting God, I can remain flexible. Relinquishing the inclination to control other people or situations. I trust in divine solutions.
Flexibility allows me to move in the flow of life. I choose not to judge experiences as "good" or "bad." Instead I remain optimistic and attuned to God, which gives me a quality of resilience. I adapt to and learn from unexpected events and even find spontaneous blessings in daily life. With greater flexibility and trust in God, I flourish in new and profound ways.
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him.--Psalm 62:8

Joy
I choose joy.
The greatest joy of an abundant life may simply be the ability to choose my responses and co-create a life of fullness regardless of any outward appearance. In the midst of any circumstance, I can choose to be happy and joyful even as I respond to the needs of the moment.
I choose to rejoice in the fullness of God's good in my life, giving thanks for a world of plenty. Looking beyond seeming lack and limitation, I recognize the spiritual abundance that is present.
I choose to express generosity and gratitude toward others, and life becomes more precious and abundant. I choose the joy of living in the fullness of God's good right now.
You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy.--Psalm 16:11

Discernment
I discern what is mine to do.
Decisions come easily in some situations, but seem harder in others. If I find myself becoming overwhelmed in considering all the factors, I step back, remembering that I need never make a decision alone; the spirit of God is with me. Logic is helpful, but inner guidance leads the way.
There is a special sense of "rightness" in a solution that makes nobody wrong. Perhaps I am guided to make amends with another person or forgive someone. I let go of the mind chatter of worry and doubt to remember that God is with me. When I follow the urgings of Spirit, I am led to act in the most loving and productive way. I discern God's will for me and know what is mine to do.
So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up.--Galatians 6:9

Creativity
Day by day I create a life of joy.
Like a master chef, I begin each day with an empty bowl. Whatever the "special of the day" turns out to be, I get to create it.
With God as my Source, I have everything I need. I reach for wisdom and compassion; imagination and zeal; strength and love; peace and change. I choose the ingredients of my day thoughtfully and prayerfully, co-creating with God. I add and take away in perfect measure, manifesting a life of joy day by day.
From morning to night my bowl fills. At the end of the day, I reflect on what I have created. I give thanks for the divine creativity flowing through me. I release what needs to be released and rest until tomorrow, when I will begin again with a fresh, new bowl.
Show by your good life that your works are done with gentleness born of wisdom.--James 3:13

Prosperity
Divine substance overflows into my life.
Prosperity means many things to many people. To some, prosperity means employment, to others a home, to others more money in the bank. These all signify prosperity, but prosperity is more than outer manifestations. Prosperity is the inner, underlying substance of God that permeates and penetrates all, the substance out of which all things are formed.
Material good is but evidence of the all-providing substance of God. Outer conditions come and go; they fluctuate and change, but the substance of God is enduring and unchanging. It can be depended on at all times, in all circumstances.
I am not anxious about my life, because my good is centered in God and I know my needs will be met.
All these things will be given to you.--Matthew 6:33
