Being Soft 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 peaceful, loving compassion of the Universe.
I choose to be and to create an environment that is peaceful, compassionate and loving.
Instead of toughing up, I choose to soften up.
I accept love and peace.
I meet others with empathy and compassion.
I accept these virtues for myself and for everyone.
I strive to convert a sick culture into a healthy culture.
I change weariness into the ability to meet life’s harsh challenges with healthy coping strategies.
I praise any and all efforts from our leaders, who do Good.
I embody and encourage the ability to rise above adversity.
I remain present with an open heart, no matter the circumstances.
My faith does not quiver, and my well of love never runs dry.
I affirm that we, as people, as divine beings, remember our truth.
I soften in my approach.
I trust that divine wisdom is guiding me to the highest and best possible outcome.
I place my reliance in the Power, the Presence and the Perfection of God.
So it is with a grateful heart, that I express overwhelming thankfulness for the softening, empathy, compassion, peace and love in my life.
And so it is. Amen.
