July 2019 - Prayers of the Spirit

Healing Codependency & Addiction

Let’s take this moment to invoke the Presence of Spirit.

It’s goodness, its light, its consciousness and its atmosphere of healing.

There is only one mind, one Source, and one life,

And that is life as a spiritual being, as a loving being.

I affirm that we all come from this one source.

We are inseparably one with the infinite Presence and Power.

I now speak my word for myself and for all,

As I activate the ability to heal codependency and addiction.

I remind myself that in the grips of addiction, that I am undergoing my own sacred journey.

I love myself in this moment and set healthy boundaries for myself.

I ask what higher truth is unfolding through my addiction.

I believe that God is with me.

I am dependent on myself and on God to be ok, to thrive and to live my best life.

I create interdependent relationships based on healthy interactions.

Honoring my own journey, I realize that I am in charge of my own self-care and self-love.

I love myself without being critical, without judgment and without succumbing to hurt and to fear.

I release all shame, pride, embarrassment and fear that may keep me from getting help.

I am not a tornado that whirls through the lives of others.

I stop letting my addiction overrun the thoughts and lives of others through my unacceptable behavior.

I am able to figure out my own solutions to my own problems.

I am responsible for my own life and the consequences of my actions.

I create healthy boundaries to take care of myself and not to control others.

I meditate, listen to my intuition and spiritual guidance, instead of listening to fear or projection.

I stay in the present moment to be clear about what is mine to do.

I read spiritually uplifting material.

I allow myself to be vulnerable enough to ask for help.

I surrender my journey to a higher power.

I find my way home through my own hero’s journey to self-worth.

With a grateful heart, I express overwhelming thankfulness

For more healing, more kindness, more joy and compassion in my life.

And so it is.

Amen.

Evolution

Let’s take this moment to invoke the Presence of Spirit.

It’s goodness, its light, its consciousness and its atmosphere of peace.

There is only one mind, one Source, and one life,

And that is life as a spiritual being, as a loving Being.

This universe is the glory of God. It is a moving, flexible, fluidic creation.

It is alive with life, abundance and all the richness of God.

I express the deep knowledge that God is within me, and we are all inseparably one with the infinite Presence and Power.

I affirm that we all come from this one source.

I now speak my word for myself and for all,

As I align myself with Spiritual Law and its creative principle.

I accept that my own evolution depends on the awakening of my soul to the recognition of its unity with the whole.

My evolution is the result of my recognition and interaction with the whole.

I accept that my spirit is limitless and reacts to my belief in its limitless abilities.

I believe that I have access to the Universal Mind.

I immerse myself in the Universal Mind for inspiration and revelation.

I know that each of my interactions with the Universal Mind activates the Divine Law, which obeys the dictates of the Universal Mind.

The unfoldment of my ideas that come from my immersion with the Universal Mind, inevitably pushes me to evolve.

The Law of cause and effect manifests exactly what I sow for my own evolution.

I realize that there is an invisible pressure that compels me to do more, be better, reach higher and to manifest greater things.

Through sufficient understanding, my thought takes me where I wish to be.

I accept that all life is intelligent.

My evolution is a by-product of this intelligence that responds to me as a part of the creative process necessary to bring forward my own growth, expansion and evolution.

As I stretch my own ever-increasing capacity for greater and greater good, it also expands that greater good for the world as a whole.

So it is with a grateful heart, that I express overwhelming thankfulness for my own self-evolution, for love, for kindness and for compassion in my life.

And so it is.
