January 26, 2008 & Dr. Murphy, Prayer for Prosperity

From Dr. Joseph Murphy: "... Thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." (Joshua 1:8) I now give a pattern of success and properity to the deeper mind within me, which is the law. I now identify myself with the Infinite Source of supply. I listen to the still, small voice of God within me. This inner voice leads, guides, and governs all my activities. I am one with the abundance of God. I know and believe that there are new and beter ways of conducting my business; Infinite Intelligence reveals the new ways to me.
I am growing in wisdom and understanding. My business is God's business. I am Divinely prospered in all ways. Divine Wisdom within me reveals the ways and means by which all my affairs are adjusted in the right way immediately.
The words of faith and conviction which I now speak open up all the necessary doors or avenues for my success and prosperity. I know that "the Lord (Law) will perfect that which concerneth me ..." (Psalm 138:8) My feet are kept in the perfect path, because I am a son/daughter of the living God."

Keep the faith!

January 25, 2008 & Feeling Empowered

Knowing that God, Infinite Spirit, has given power to my word, I make use of this power and declare within my mind that I know there is only One Mind, that Mind is God, and that Mind is my mind now. And in this clear statement of Truth, I accept my One-ness with God, with the Good in All things. I declare within myself that I am success in all that I do and all that I plan to accomplish. I know this success is within my consciousness and failure has no place in me. I declare within myself that I am abundantly prosperous in all that I do and all that I plan to accomplish. I know this abundant prosperity is within my consciousness and limitation has no place in me. As I register the Truth about me in my consciousness, I know and I know that I know, that this Truth is reflected in my life experiences. I seek and I find in the right and perfect time, the ideas that prosper me and create success in all that I do. I am always assured of my prosperity and success for I am always in tune with the Infinite Mind as It brings to my awareness a greater and more expansive idea of prosperity and success. My success and prosperity is given to me to share with all those in my experience and I gladly give to and support everyone in their own success and prosperity. I live my life in the freedom of knowing that I can depend on Principle for all things and I never flirt with fear or its twin sister, doubt. I am in this to win the game of Life and I desire for everyone to win along with me. I give up any feelings of competition as my mind is focused on creating more and more opportunities for my own personal growth and development. I know that as I am free to express the unique me that I am, I understand that everyone is free to do, to be, and to have, all that is necessary to express their own uniqueness. I support and recognize the God in everyone and I know that the God in all people who come into my experience of life, recognize the God in me. I feel empowered to express all this and more through my consciousness. There is enough of everything to share and to spare ... and for this I am always very grateful. I know this is so and I let it be so. And so it is.

Keep the faith!

January 24, 2008 & Healing Limitation

Have you ever noticed that the word "health" contains the word "heal" ... and as we strive for physical health in our prayer-treatments, we should also strive to heal the limitations that we have established in our minds. As we affirm "Wholeness" we realize that our desires for greater financial abundance, success, physical health, happiness, and loving companionship, are all benefits of a healthy mind that is not hindered by limitations. Let us know this is so:

I rejoice and give thanks that within me is the awareness to eliminate limitations from my mind. As I recognize my eternal unity with God, Infinite Spirit, I know and I know that I know, that I am healed of any idea of limitation, whether in the past or in the present. I live today as if all things are available to me; loving companionship, the perfect home, financial abundance, success in all that I do, and a joyful heart filled with gladness. I accept these things knowing that there is nothing that can separate me from my Good, for my Good is God made manifest in my experiences. I have a complete faith and I act with conviction on the ideas that come to my awareness for I know that this Divine Presence reveals Itself to me as It heals any remnants of limitation, doubt or fear, in my consciousness. I act with confidence knowing that everything has been prepared for me to succeed and to prosper in all that I do. Today is the day of my amazing good fortune, for in my realization that God desires only Good for me, I can always accept and expect my Good to be made manifest, now, and always. And so it is.


Keep the faith!

January 23, 2008 & I Have The Conviction

Today I recognize my great conviction that the Truth sets me free. I know that the Truth is that God is Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient; All Present, All Power and All Knowing. In this understanding I know that since God is All, I am a part of that All, as is everyone. I know that God is Life and this Life is my life. And in this realization I know that peace, joy, happiness, love, harmony, intelligence and beauty are of God and therefore belong to me. I have the conviction that this One Power, God, is a Power for Good, and as I align myself with that which is good for me and for all others, I know that my conviction in God's Power and Presence, insures that I am never without my Good. I have the conviction that God brings to my awareness the ideas that will bless me and all others immensely. I always have enough of every Good thing I desire to share and to spare and in this consciousness, I feel the happiness and joy of life. My mind is always filled with thoughts of God and the Good. I know with conviction that I can depend on Principle and that Principle always knows and does that which brings the greatest Good into my experience. My life reflects my faith and conviction that God always works for me, as me and through me, to do and to be that which creates the most outstanding life experiences I can imagine for myself. I love my relationship with God, Infinite Spirit, for it is personal to me and to all who recognize with conviction that it is so. I am grateful for this awareness, always and in all ways. And so it is.

Keep the faith!

January 22, 2008 & How Much Can We Believe?

"That we must go the way of the Law, is a fundamental tenet of this Science, because Nature obeys us as we first obey It, and our obedience to It is our acceptance of It. How much can we believe? AS MUCH AS WE CAN BELIEVE will be done unto us." - Dr. Ernest Holmes, The Science of Mind

I am one with a complete understanding of Truth. I know and I accept within my consciousness that there is only One Mind, this Mind is God, and this Mind is my mind now. And in this understanding I am happy and complete today and forever. Within me is that which is Perfect and Complete and I am radiant with joy and happiness. I always choose that which is for my highest and greatest Good and I live the Good Life now and always. I always have a great confidence in that which I choose to demonstrate in my life for I know that the Law works precisely to bring forth in my experience all that is necessary for my complete happiness and success. My Good is always at hand and I am always provided for and I accept my Good knowing that there is no big or small ... I can have it all ... and for this I am always, deeply grateful. I let it always be so. And so it is.

Keep the faith!

January 21, 2008 & New Ideas Today

As I recognize that God Is Mind, I know that the ideas that come to my awareness, is my unity with this Mind. Understanding that ideas are spiritual coin, my mind is open and receptive to the ideas that are mine. I keep my mind clear of any debris of negativity, knowing that Spirit always works for my Good. I know that I am always in Divine Right Action, and the action of Spirit flowing new ideas into my mind today, causes me to choose my actions with intention. I intend to be prosperous, successful, healthy, and happy ... and I know that my intentions are in tune with the Infinite Good. I am never without the right ideas to move forward with great success in all that I do. The right and perfect ideas always come to my awareness to manifest the prosperity that is mine today. I never allow myself to think of tomorrow's Good, for today is the day I claim my Good. Happy, healthy, wealthy and successful in all that I do, I always have a sense of the Presence of God working for me, through me, and as me. I know that I of mine own self can do nothing, and so I let Spirit reign Supreme in my life now. I use the only Power there is in the Universe, God ... to attract to me through the Law of my mind, every person, every thing, and every condition necessary for the fulfillment of my Good ideas today. I am thrilled and I am overjoyed in the realization that my God answers all my prayers, always. And for this and for so much more ... I know that God is so very, very wonderful to me. And so it is.

Keep the faith!

January 20, 2008 & Hope for the Future

From Dr. Ernest Holmes: "I live today as though the words of this, my affirmative prayer, were already accomplished facts in my experience. I empty my mind of every fear and doubt. I condemn no one and no thing, not even myself. I forget that which is past and have no fear of the future.

I live in harmony with people and with all situations that surround me. I see and feel the presence of Good running through everything. I have complete faith that this Divine Presence reveals itself to me in my every thought, every word, and every act.

There is nothing in my thought about the past or the future that can in any way deny me the pleasure and privilege of living today as though everything were complete and perfect. My whole expectancy is of much and more, of good and better.

The future is bright with hope and fulfillment. The present is perfect, and no past failure mars today's understanding. Today is the start of my new and more successful experience of achievement." ... And so it is.

Keep the faith!
