Expressing Joy in the World

There is only one mind, God.

There is only one Source, God.

There is only 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 every individual is inseparably one with the infinite presence and power.

I now speak my word for myself and all.

As I activate the Law of Joy.

The great joy of life comes into my soul, flooding me with its wondrous light.

Sorrow and sadness flee from me.

I express the spontaneous joy of the child playing on the shore.

I express the gladness of meeting the new day with the expectation of pleasure.

I express the quiet peace of rest at night.

I am untroubled by inward conflicts.

I surrender to the inner child within me.

I live my life with a sense of adventure, enthusiasm, expectancy, and confidence.

I surrender all my doubts and fears.

I surrender all uncertainties and forebodings to become at peace with the Spirit, myself, and others.

The Law of Good controls me.

I bless and prosper in everything I do.

I accept and expect happiness and complete success.

Divine Intelligence guides me in love, joy, and complete self-expression.

And it is with overwhelming thankfulness that I accept the consciousness of more joy, love, abundance, peace, and good for myself and every individual.

With an open heart, I release my word into the action of the Law to be made manifest in form, as it is already known in the Mind.

And so it is. Amen.

Expressing Beauty in the World

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 or all,

As I align myself with the beauty of the Universe.

I have confidence in Good, in truth, and in the beauty of life.

I am surrounded by perfect life and poised in an eternal calm.

My body is pure spiritual substance, and as such, it is perfect and harmonious.

I am one with all the good there is.

I am calm, poised, and at peace with the world.

This spirit within me manifests as perfect harmony.

Every cell, atom, and organ of my body functions according to Divine Law.

I am complete and perfect now.

My eyes see only that which is beautiful and harmonious.

I know that beauty has entered my life and will always remain there.

I am filled with peace, strength, and the power of Spirit’s decision.

I choose to be and to create an environment that is peaceful, compassionate, and loving.

I affirm that we, as people, as divine beings, remember our truth.

I trust that divine wisdom guides me to the highest and best possible outcome.

I rely on the Power, the Presence, and the Perfection of God.

So, with a grateful heart, I express my overwhelming thankfulness for the beauty, compassion, peace, and love in my life.

And so it is. Amen.
