August 2019 - Prayers of the Spirit

The Spiritual Universe

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.

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 principles of the spiritual universe.

I treat to give to others that which I desire for myself.

I treat to be that which I seek for myself.

I seek to reveal myself to myself.

I expect to receive exactly what I have given to others and have become myself.

I seek to harmonize with beauty, truth, goodness and love.

I recognize that spiritual mind healing and demonstrations come from living in harmony with the spiritual universe, establishing in my body a psychosomatic relationship.

I recognize that the mind and the body are the same thing.

I seek to embody the presence of peace, wholeness, love, harmonious relationships and prosperity.

I recognize that the spiritual universe gives me exactly what I need, because it resonates with my being at all times.

With a grateful heart, I express overwhelming thankfulness

For more love, more kindness, more understanding and more compassion in my life.

And so it is. Amen.

Fostering Trust

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

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

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 spiritual principle of trust.

I find shared humanity by listening to people with whom I have nothing in common.

I create a safe invitational place, where I help others feel seen, valued and welcomed.

I look for authentic community and the magnificence in what I see and know through collaboration.

I learn how to successfully navigate difficult conversations by being authentic and by being physically present.

I shape my life by asking who I am and what I love.

Knowing that I will transcend, I carefully choose how I live, so that my life is a gift to my earth family.

I ask myself what I stand for.

I know that I am a spiritual being with each experience of a starry night, the smell of the forest after rain and with every loving embrace.

Every sweet and perfect melody reminds me that I am alive and whole and a part of nature and of the whole universe.

With a grateful heart, I express overwhelming thankfulness

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

And so it is.

Amen.
