May 2021 - Prayers of the Spirit

Train Your Mind

Let’s take this moment to invoke the Presence of Spirit, its goodness, its light, its peace and its atmosphere of ever expanding consciousness.

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 all, as I align myself with ever expanding consciousness.

I pay attention to the gifts of Spirit that are always being given.

I realize that my gifts affect the character of the whole.

I accept my responsibility to live with fullness and creativity.

I become more skilled at using my energies each day to create possibilities that I put into form.

I realize that trained thought is far more powerful than untrained thought.

I pay attention to my concentrated thoughts.

When I seize an idea and hang onto it, I can expect a physical manifestation, whether it is comfortable or not.

I flow with, rather than fight life.

I realize that it is to my advantage to use life’s natural, forward-moving energies for my purposes.

I accept who I am, because I am inescapably part of the forms and energies of life.

My individuality gives me the ability to use life’s vigor as I choose.

I decide to bring my good to life by using my divinely given wisdom.

I realize that I can live as broadly or as narrowly as I wish.

I accept that my life was given to me to do what I will with it.

I practice living skills without a limitation.

I am determined to find a means of self-expression and to reach my goals in spite of any physical limitations.

My eyes are open to the possibilities of what I can create, when I invest my time and talents.

I trust that the Infinite is ready and willing to guide and direct my energies to wondrous, daily discoveries.

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

And so it is.

Peace, Justice and Freedom for All

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 align myself with peace, justice and freedom.

By being conscious and present, I can turn a crisis into something that makes the world a better place to live in, by striving for individual and collective safety, personal liberty and freedom and justice for all.

I believe that Democracy can give freedom to the world and make possible hope for humanity.

I realize that Democracy is a great cooperative enterprise conceived in the idea that all people are equal before God.

I recognize that everyone is an individual in their own right and deserves the privilege of self-expression.

I honor unity in what is best and safe for all, which gives respect to each member of the whole.

I believe that the preservation of these ideas is the hope for the world.

I pray for peace with justice; for only with justice is peace possible.

I pray and meditate each day with complete acceptance that the leaders everywhere are being guided by the all-sustaining wisdom and by the all-sustaining power of good.

I pray that we each act and contribute the best that we have for the common good and common preservation.

I pray for confidence, calm judgement and right action through every crisis.

My faith conquers my fear.

I believe that every nation desires peace and, through our prayers, we can bring peace and justice for all.

I work without tiring and pray without ceasing for a world that is vibrant with hope for the freedom of all.

I stand in my own power and, whatever the cost, tackle all the difficult and demanding requirements of life.

With a grateful heart, I express overwhelming thankfulness for more presence, more love, more kindness, and for more peace, justice and freedom in my life.

And so it is.
