Florida Shooting Victims
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 the principle of compassion for the Florida shooting victims.
I affirm that I live in a community where the humblest and the weakest person can enjoy the highest civil, economic and social rights as the most powerful possess.
I affirm that the cost of liberty is less than the price of repression.
I acknowledge that a friend encourages my voice and my right to grow.
I affirm that justice everywhere is a threat to injustice anywhere.
I strive to make submission to violence difficult for those who may attempt it.
I seek to equip every child, youth, churchgoer, and any other possible victim with the cultural armor of meaning, faith and love.
I seek freedom from fear for all,
And I resist any attempt to diminish individual power.
I let this recognition flow through my entire consciousness.
I let it reach down into the very depths of my being.
I rejoice in this realization, knowing that I possess the vitality of the Infinite.
I accept an awakened consciousness in every moment of my life.
I trust myself, the process and God.
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 peace, meaning, faith and love for the victims of the Florida shootings.
And so it is. Amen.
