Biblical accounts for Jesus’ healing works range from feeding the 5,000, to restoring sight to a blind man, to raising Lazarus from the dead. Even though the stories vary, one thing remains constant: Jesus saw beyond each person’s immediate circumstance to the wholeness within them. I, too, am whole, regardless of the condition of my mind and body. I claim the power to heal myself each time I look beyond the temporary conditions of illness and dysfunction and find the enduring truth of my wholeness. I am a divine being, and I see myself the way Jesus would see me, whole and spiritually perfect. I do all I can to maintain my health. I also have my healing by remembering my wholeness. </span></p><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Then he said to him, “Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well.”–Luke 17:19</span></span></p></div></div>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239197936206454640.post-77625521429858172812024-03-17T14:28:00.001-04:002024-03-17T14:28:18.975-04:00Let Go Let God Pray<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">I Feel The Power And Presence of God As I Pray.</span></b></span></p><div class="Ar Au Ao" id=":cx"><div aria-controls=":f7" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Message Body" aria-multiline="true" aria-owns=":f7" class="Am aiL Al editable LW-avf tS-tW tS-tY" g_editable="true" hidefocus="true" id=":ct" itacorner="6,7:1,1,0,0" role="textbox" spellcheck="false" style="direction: ltr; min-height: 430px;" tabindex="1"><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">In <em>The Revealing Word</em>, Unity cofounder Charles Fillmore described prayer as “the most highly accelerated mind action known.” This awareness is my comfort and assurance as I release my worldly concerns and feel the presence of God. As I pray, I immerse myself in the Silence so I can be still and know. From this place of deep communion, I relax and focus my attention on the divine ideas of life, love, wisdom, strength, and order, which are always mine to claim. As these spiritual truths flourish in my consciousness, thoughts of my troubles and worries fade from my mind. In the past, I may have believed prayer was a way of asking God for help and solace. Now I understand it as one of the best ways of helping and uplifting myself. </span></p><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Be still, and know that I am God!—Psalm 46:10</span></span></p></div></div>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239197936206454640.post-11266744819656394722024-03-16T14:14:00.001-04:002024-03-16T14:14:11.563-04:00Let Go Let God With Fascination<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">Spiritual Living Fascinates Me.</span></b></span></p><div class="Ar Au Ao" id=":dy"><div aria-controls=":g8" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Message Body" aria-multiline="true" aria-owns=":g8" class="Am aiL Al editable LW-avf tS-tW tS-tY" g_editable="true" hidefocus="true" id=":du" itacorner="6,7:1,1,0,0" role="textbox" spellcheck="false" style="direction: ltr; min-height: 430px;" tabindex="1"><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Over the years, I have grown so much from my spiritual practices. I have felt close to God as I have prayed, deepened in understanding as I have learned, and grown in confidence as I discovered my divinity. I am fascinated with spiritual discovery. I realize there will always be more to learn, more ways to grow, and more ways to know God and know myself. The more I know, the more I desire to know. My interest in and love for God is without limit. My fascination with spiritual life will continue to lead me along my path of discovery and devotion for as long as I live. I am grateful as I deepen in my relationship with God. </span></p><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; God has done this, so that all should stand in awe before him.—Ecclesiastes 3:14</span></span></p></div></div>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239197936206454640.post-21145768970161672312024-03-15T14:56:00.006-04:002024-03-15T14:56:52.547-04:00Let Go Let God Pray For World Peace<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">I Join In The Emerging Presence Of Peace.</span></b></span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Even as the world seems asleep to peace, I commit to help its awakening. By centering my mind and heart on peaceful thoughts and deeds, my serene bearing contributes to peace on earth. I envision world peace and hold steady in my faith that it is unfolding. I do my spiritual work so I can more freely express the emerging consciousness of peace. I pray often, give generously, and forgive easily. As I am healed and cleansed, I envision love, redemption, and reconciliation in the hearts of all humanity. With faith in the enfolding love of Spirit, and with a tender and humble heart, I bring my peace to the world. I trust the emerging power of peace in hearts like mine around the world. </span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace.

When I pray for them, however, I have complete confidence because I release the prayer need to the peace and perfection of the Divine. I hold the high watch by trusting the right and perfect outcome is already on its way. I see wholeness even in the presence of illness. I see prosperity even during periods of insufficiency. I see harmony unfolding even in the presence of conflict. It is a blessing to pray for others. Just as I am beholding the Christ in them, I am also strengthening my connection with the Divine within myself. </span></p><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you.—Jeremiah 29:12</span></span></p></div></div>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239197936206454640.post-6397915752243276252024-03-13T14:36:00.004-04:002024-03-13T14:36:28.698-04:00Let Go Let God Behold Glory<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">I Know The Glory Of God Through The Use Of My Divine Gifts.</span></b></span></p><div class="Ar Au Ao" id=":er"><div aria-controls=":h1" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Message Body" aria-multiline="true" aria-owns=":h1" class="Am aiL Al editable LW-avf tS-tW tS-tY" g_editable="true" hidefocus="true" id=":en" itacorner="6,7:1,1,0,0" role="textbox" spellcheck="false" style="direction: ltr; min-height: 430px;" tabindex="1"><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">How glorious life can feel when I put God first. Immersed in the presence of the Divine, I am uplifted and everything seems possible. When I live solely from my human nature, I am easily swayed by the ups and downs of life. But when I live from my divinity, I navigate both the smooth and rocky terrains of life with equal ease. The glory of God is mine when I am aligned fully with Spirit within. I use my divine gifts with confidence and gratitude. I venture into life boldly, feeling fully deserving of the world’s abundance and ready to share of myself so others may know the world’s abundance as well. The shimmering light of Spirit shines its glory upon me. Living as the divine being I am, I bring the glory of God into the world. </span></p><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Christ in you, the hope of glory.—Colossians 1:27</span></span></p></div></div>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239197936206454640.post-50534427473976304582024-03-12T14:56:00.002-04:002024-03-12T14:56:16.123-04:00Let Go Let God Comfort<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">Divine Love Comforts Me.</span></b></span></p><div class="Ar Au Ao" id=":ds"><div aria-controls=":g2" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Message Body" aria-multiline="true" aria-owns=":g2" class="Am aiL Al editable LW-avf tS-tW tS-tY" g_editable="true" hidefocus="true" id=":do" itacorner="6,7:1,1,0,0" role="textbox" spellcheck="false" style="direction: ltr; min-height: 430px;" tabindex="1"><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Life may be full of wonders and delights, but sometimes troubling news or unpleasant developments befall me. When I feel sad or worried, I may feel in need of comfort. I recall times when a hug or some encouraging words gave me solace. These memories remind me life, even when painful, is inherently good. My faith in God’s love surrounds and uplifts me, bringing me comfort. Like the tenderness of a loving parent, Spirit’s indwelling presence and power never abandons me. I am a beloved child of God, filled with peace and light. As I am comforted, I comfort others. I listen to their joys and concerns, and I offer a kind word or simply a compassionate presence. Each day brings a chance to learn, grow, and share love. I am comforted and so very blessed. </span></p><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Comfort your hearts and strengthen them in every good work and word.—2 Thessalonians 2:17</span></span></p></div></div>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239197936206454640.post-27714042079580819232024-03-11T14:51:00.005-04:002024-03-11T14:51:38.669-04:00Let Go Let God Shine<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">Throughout The Seasons Of Life, I Shine The Light Of God.</span></b></span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">As I live my values of faith, peace, love, and joy, they radiate from me into the world. Like a glowing lantern, I bring forth the light of God. But sometimes I can lose touch with my brightness, and other times I may be unable to access it at all. Darkness occasionally descends along each person’s spiritual journey. Even if my light feels dimmed, it still shines. I keep the faith by believing in the light of God and trusting I will shine it brightly once again. I focus on the things of Spirit, knowing I am never alone. Lovingly and with self-compassion, I remove obstacles of fear and judgment that dim my light, trusting I will continue to live my faith, peace, love, and joy. </span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.—Matthew 5:16</span></span></p>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239197936206454640.post-31663443421731890292024-03-10T14:35:00.001-04:002024-03-10T14:35:06.293-04:00Let Go Let God In Timeless Moments<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">In Timeless Moments In The Silence, I Discover Myself Anew.</span></b></span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">I relax and let go, withdrawing my attention from my surroundings. Breathing deeply and rhythmically, my mind relaxes and my heart opens. I enter my sacred inner sanctuary. Here I have no awareness of time. I hear no words, I think no thoughts, I feel no separation. There is only the richness of silence, the awesome presence of infinite life, love, and wisdom. I am one with this presence. The time and attention I devote to my regular practice of meditation builds deep, abiding peace and clarity in my consciousness. In these timeless moments, I discover I have all I need—enough strength, understanding, love, and time to progress along my path and accomplish all that is mine to do. </span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away.—Revelation 21:1</span></span></p>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239197936206454640.post-23138740078422727272024-03-09T14:58:00.005-05:002024-03-09T14:58:49.151-05:00Let Go Let God Express The Presence<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">I Am The Presence Of God.</span></b></span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">God is the one presence and power in the Universe and in my life. Not only am I in the presence of God, I am that divine presence itself. At one time, I may have believed God was outside of me. Later, as I came to regard myself as a spiritual being, I understood I had a spark of the Divine within me. But as I continued to grow, my understanding of my divinity has taken on a new, deeper dimension. I am fully divine, just as I am fully human. The presence of God is not just in me. As a divine being, I am expressing the presence of God as only I can. The love in my heart, the strength of my will, the boundlessness of my imagination—these are all ways I bring the presence of God into my life and into the world. </span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Where can I go from your spirit?

As I attune myself to the power of the divine feminine all around me, I discover the softness of nurturing and compassion and the steeliness of protection and determination. Appreciating these qualities expressing all around me and especially in the women and girls of the world, I am grateful for how the divine feminine influences our shared life.

But if I measure prosperity by the presence and power of my spiritual gifts, I realize I am heir to an unlimited supply of divine ideas, such as love, imagination, and prosperity. My prosperity is boundless. I have within me the power to create a joy-filled life for myself. I share my prosperity by loving freely, giving generously, and forgiving easily. When I think of how my divine gifts can enrich me and the dear ones in my life, I realize that kind of prosperity is so much more precious than any status of wealth on earth. </span></p><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">And my God will fully satisfy every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.—Philippians 4:19</span></span></p></div></div>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239197936206454640.post-37128582631489646502024-03-06T14:32:00.007-05:002024-03-06T14:32:50.882-05:00Let Go Let God Reach<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">Trusting In God, I Can Reach For Comfort And Strength.</span></b></span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">My dreams and aspirations may change as I grow and evolve, but one thing remains constant: Each time I seek to achieve something, I have to reach for it. Sometimes I reach outside myself as I pursue opportunities, stretching toward new heights and learning new things. I may reach for others to grow in community and friendships, sharing common interests and giving and receiving social support. Other times, I reach inside myself for greater self-awareness, undertaking an inner exploration of discovery, seeking a greater understanding of myself as a divine being. This journey of self-discovery may feel daunting, but I trust it will lead me to a fuller experience of myself and a deeper relationship with God. </span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.—Philippians 3:14</span></span></p>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239197936206454640.post-66854217024132112092024-03-05T14:29:00.008-05:002024-03-05T14:29:54.524-05:00Let Go Let God Choose Positive Thoughts<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">My Positive Thoughts Color My Life.</span></b></span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Perhaps my most precious freedom is the ability to choose my thoughts. Understanding how my consciously held thoughts become my reality, I use them as the building blocks that shape my life. I wisely wield the creative power of my mind by choosing empowering thoughts that affirm my spiritual identity and divine gifts. I speak words of love and harmony, strength and resilience. As I do, I discover increased ease, grace, and bliss in my life. Should I find myself in undesirable circumstances, I turn to my thoughts, thinking and speaking words of affirmation and truth. My thoughts are the key to abundant, joyful living. </span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable … think about these things.—Philippians 4:8</span></span></p>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239197936206454640.post-41057681112595628992024-03-04T14:41:00.005-05:002024-03-04T14:41:52.166-05:00Let Go Let God Understand<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">Honoring Our Shared Divinity, I Seek To Understand Others.</span></b></span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">When I need to express myself, it’s important to me to feel understood. I don’t need those with whom I’m sharing my thoughts to agree with me, but I feel valued when they consider my point of view and honor my feelings. This awareness reminds me to be empathetic toward others who wish to share their views with me. Even if I don’t agree, I listen with an open mind and soft heart, seeking to understand. I keep our shared divinity in mind. Our connection has its roots in God. If communication is strained or difficult, I remain steadfast in seeing beyond conflict as I open my heart to a fellow divine being. I am compassionate, sharing my divine gift of understanding with kindness and patience. </span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">My mouth shall speak wisdom; the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.—Psalm 49:3</span></span></p>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239197936206454640.post-80186884335611678452024-03-03T14:49:00.003-05:002024-03-03T14:49:21.985-05:00Let Go Let God Find Grace<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">The Grace Of God Surrounds And Enfolds Me.</span></b></span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">From the moment I greet the day to the moment I rest at night, I am enfolded in the grace of God. I find grace in the rhythm and balance of the natural world. It is in the beauty of a sunrise and a sweet, gentle rain. I find grace in the sweet souls with whom I share this beautiful planet—the faces of my dear ones and others I meet throughout the day. Grace is the presence of God made manifest. As it does for the world around me, grace blesses my life as well. It is the unexpected kindness, the serendipity, the forgiven error. It is the assurance I carry in the deepest recesses of my soul that I am loved, treasured, and secure in the heart of God. </span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">And the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.—1 Timothy 1:14</span></span></p>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239197936206454640.post-79982119730211014812024-03-02T14:16:00.003-05:002024-03-02T14:16:20.310-05:00Let Go Let God In Divine Order<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">I Am In Harmony With Divine Order</span></b></span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Some days I feel energized and move forward with organization and precision—items ticked off my to-do list, chores completed, goals reached, and surroundings easily tidied with everything in its right and proper place. In appreciation for this routine, I might believe days that don’t go this way are not what they should be or I am doing something wrong. Divine order reminds me there is a natural ebb and flow to life. There are days for organized accomplishment and days to let go, relax, and simply bless the mess. Divine order is present during the high energy as well as the low energy days. Each is part of a full and well-lived life. I go with the flow rather than fighting the current. My life and all life is in divine order, and I feel grateful as I rest in that assurance. </span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">What then are we to say about these things?

These memories sustain me as I grow and change. As long as I live, I will have opportunities to climb higher, push myself, and do the things I’m not quite sure I can do. Through it all, I can call upon the strength of God, the source of my bravery. God’s strength is my strength. It bolsters my faith, helping me believe in myself. It kindles my zeal, giving me the push to get started, and fuels my imagination, my ability to picture my success. I am bold and brave, ready and willing to live the life of my dreams. </span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Be strong and of good courage.

As I have grown spiritually, I have come to understand I am fully divine, just as I am fully human. I have grown into this awareness, realizing that everything God is, I am too. God is love, and I am that love in expression. God is perfect peace, and I am that peace expressing at the point of me. God is wisdom, and I express divine wisdom as only I can. I know true oneness when I no longer think of these divine qualities as something to ask for or even acquire. Instead, I see them as mine to master and use. When I do this, I am able to take complete responsibility for my life. Only then will I know the fullness of my freedom and the depths of my potential. </span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">The Father and I are one.—John 10:30</span></span></p>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239197936206454640.post-18770314892052511432024-02-28T14:40:00.005-05:002024-02-28T14:40:26.967-05:00Let Go, Let God<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">I Co-Create With God To Bring About My Highest Good.</span></b></span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">When I work as a member of a team, I know what my role is. I do my part and trust that others on the team will do theirs. Together, we are all working toward the same end, and that knowledge gives us an energy and momentum that we would not likely have alone. Something similar happens when I let go and let God. I do what is mine to do, and then I relax knowing I have done my part. I do not worry about what happens next. Letting go and letting God means opening to and cooperating with the Divine within. My human nature and my divine nature are a powerful team. Together, they work to bring my dreams to life. I relax and trust the highest and best outcomes are already manifesting. </span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, and I also am working.”—John 5:17</span></span></p>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239197936206454640.post-63073177125568084262024-02-27T14:26:00.006-05:002024-02-27T14:26:59.263-05:00Let Go Let God Be Free<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">I Am Free To Be Me.</span></b></span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">As I watch a bird soaring above me in the sky or a butterfly flitting from flower to flower, I think of them as gloriously free, each one easily expressing its divine nature. They remind me that I, too, am spiritually free. Living from my divinity, I free myself from insecurity and negativity. I free myself from worry and despair. If negative thoughts enter my mind, I deny their power over me and I affirm my freedom in all situations. If I don’t like a condition in my life, I have the power to make a change by responding with faith, wisdom, and peace. I am free to take a higher path. I grow ever strong and confident as I align with the freedom that is mine as a child of God. Living this way deeply fulfills my soul. </span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free.—Romans 8:2</span></span></p>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239197936206454640.post-56802654586952150652024-02-26T14:45:00.002-05:002024-02-26T14:45:08.001-05:00Let Go Let God Provide Guidance<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">My Most Reliable Guidance Comes From Within.</span></b></span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">When I seek guidance, I can usually find information and people or organizations willing to advise me. However, I can’t count on their opinions and advice to lead me to my highest and best outcomes. When I wonder where to turn next, I remember the guidance I seek is already mine. To access my inner knowing, I first surrender my opinions and preferences in prayer. I let go of my need for specific answers and turn to God within, my true source of perfect guidance. My guidance speaks not only through my mind and heart but also through serendipity. By letting go and being receptive, I perceive these signs. My innate divine wisdom guides me to the perfect way forward. </span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">For ‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we too are his offspring.’—Acts 17:28</span></span></p>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239197936206454640.post-70829667783299811632024-02-25T14:31:00.000-05:002024-02-25T14:31:00.063-05:00Let Go Let God Keep The Faith<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">I Carry My Faith In God With Me Throughout The Day.</span></b></span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">I keep my faith at the forefront of my awareness, taking a few minutes in the morning to pause, breathe deeply, and place my awareness on the presence of God. I feel energized and strengthened. I expect all good things. As the day progresses, I pause again for a moment or two and affirm: <em>God and I are one</em>. I have faith that God, my source, is with me in everything I think, say, and do. At night, I look back on the events of the day and savor the moments in which God’s presence felt especially strong. I have faith that awakening from a restful night’s sleep, hearing a kind remark, enjoying time in nature, or spending quality time with a loved one are ways to feel the presence of God within and around me. </span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">And they shall stand every morning, thanking and praising the Lord, and likewise at evening.—1 Chronicles 23:30</span></span></p>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239197936206454640.post-30399696583416060312024-02-24T14:40:00.005-05:002024-02-24T14:40:46.978-05:00Let Go Let God Be Protected<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">My Divinity Is My Protection.</span></b></span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">If I seek to protect myself with the things of the world, my feelings of safety may be fleeting and impermanent. But when I find my protection in the power and presence of God, I can relax knowing no lasting harm can ever befall me. As I commit to spiritual living, I feel any fear I had been carrying start to fade from my awareness. In its place, a quiet confidence starts to grow and fill my consciousness. This confidence is a whisper from the Divine that there is nothing and no one to fear, that my protection lies in the life of God. I keep the nature of the world in perspective, protecting myself accordingly. But I place my faith in God and find my safest refuge. </span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Little children, you are from God, and have conquered them; for the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.—1 John 4:4</span></span></p>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239197936206454640.post-50796739709875572582024-02-23T14:36:00.005-05:002024-02-23T14:36:23.353-05:00Let Go Let God Pray For Others<p><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">I Feel God's Presence As I Pray For Others.</span></b></span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Whether I’m praying for the world or for the dear ones in my life, I see beyond troubling circumstances and behold the presence of God as pure, unlimited wholeness, love, peace, and prosperity. When I pray, I may acknowledge worldly conditions as they are while denying their permanence at the same time. I then affirm: <em>God is everywhere present</em>. I envision the healing light of the Divine abundantly blessing everyone for whom I pray. Through prayer, I am similarly blessed. Prayer relieves me of worry or the thought my human efforts are insufficient to help my dear ones in need. I am fulfilled and at peace as I close my prayer practice with utmost gratitude. </span></p><p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer.—Romans 12:12</span></span></p>Divine Ordershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17916260805595848104noreply@blogger.com0
