April 2020 - Prayers of the Spirit

Outwitting Fear

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 the principle of Faith.

I see all major changes in my life like a new season, as in nature.

I accept the fact that what once worked, no longer does.

I realize that the longer I wait, the more discomfort I feel.

In order for me to grow, I know that I must let go of the old

To make room for my personal expansion.

My awareness that something is off, alerts me to begin searching for a solution that would bring more happiness, safety, comfort and peace.

I choose to be open to what I may not have seen before.

I commit to making changes successful, by taking one step at a time.

I know that the universe supports my growth and expansion.

As I see evidence of my expansion and my higher good,

I become motivated to let go of the old and to swiftly embrace the new.

I embrace my good with the full power of my faith.

I acknowledge my fears, then release them completely.

I identify negative patterns as activities that prevent me from

Achieving my most desired outcomes.

I release fears of poverty, criticism, ill health, loss of love, old age,

Death and negative influences.

I choose not to complain, find fault, be sarcastic, be hopeless,

Be filled with self-pity, to lack self-confidence or to worry.

I fill my mind with my greatest desires and declare that this is the truth of my life now.

So it is with a grateful heart, that I express overwhelming thankfulness

For my own faith, for love, for kindness and for goodness in my life.

And so it is.

Planting a Mental Garden

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 use the creative law of Life for the purpose of producing a good selected harvest.

In the garden of my mind, I plant the soil of faith and the seed of hope.

I prepare the good soil of my mind by selecting good thoughts, good feelings and a good mental attitude toward life.

I embrace faith, love, hope and acceptance.

Like in the miracle of nature, I plant my mental seeds with a happy and enthusiastic expectancy of the creative law of nature.

I know through experience that if I plant good seeds in good soil, that life will give me a good harvest.

In my mental garden, my thought is the seed through which the Law of love can heal, enrich and expand my experience.

I realize that the thoughts that I plant in my consciousness becomes my future.

I release all doubt and unbelief.

I uproot the weeds of fear.

I release all obstructions, so that my thoughts flow freely with a childlike faith and expectancy.

I use God’s law of creation to produce that which I long for, that which is my highest hope, and the goals of my greatest attainment.

I allow the warmth of God’s sunshine and the refreshment of God’s gentle rain to penetrate the soil of my mind,

Turning it into the rich loam of love.

I understand that my simple, sincere thoughts are the seeds that produce a variety of experiences.

The mental seeds that I choose to plant are health, success, love, abundance and self-expression.

I draw upon the Infinite by allowing God to manifest more happiness, more friendship, more love and good for myself as I awaken to the recognition of my unity with the whole.

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

And so it is.
