As I affirm that God Is All, and I am One with this Infinite Presence, I expect and receive a response to my every prayer. As I go deep within and choose that which I desire to have, to be, or to do, I know that in the stillness of my mind, Spirit is receptive to and accepts my Good with me. I know and believe that Spirit supports me in my Good and so there is never a doubt in my mind about the results of my prayer. I am open to my Good and I am receptive to an even greater Good still than what I have asked for. I believe and accept that Infinite Intelligence knows precisely what my highest and greatest Good is in all things ... and I loose any attachment to the form in which my Good manifests. I feel a genuine gladness in my heart as I trust in the infinite good-ness of the Divine. I am secure in my relationship with God ... now, and always. And so it is.
Keep the faith!

February 29, 2008 & Leap of Faith
Let's use this "Leap Year Day" to take a "leap of faith" in our consciousness and set our sights high and go for the Good that we desire. Know and believe with me that God, Infinite Spirit, responds to our faith ... and I am knowing that great faith is within me and you and in this moment I accept and realize that our faith, working through the Law of Attraction ... brings forth the tremendous joy, love, happiness and success that we desire to experience now. It is with great pleasure that I accept in my consciousness that each and every one of us has within us ... within our mind ... all the faith necessary to totally transform our lives to reflect the Good that is available for us. Our leap of faith today transcends all things that may attempt to hinder us ... for we know that we are using the All-Power of the Infinite to bring forth, to demonstrate, to actualize ... the Good that is ours now. And so it is!
Keep the faith!

February 28, 2008 & The Light Within
I open my mind to God, Infinite Spirit, and I feel the Presence of the Spirit within me. Today, I receive inspiration from the living Spirit. I believe and know that I live in the radiance of Infinite Spirit. Today and every day I live in the realization of my One-ness with God. I know that I am filled with the beauty and the peace of God. The Spirit of God fills my consciousness. I feel the presence of harmony and joy within me. I am guided by Divine Love. Love is present within me now and always. My entire being is filled with the essence of Spirit. I am sustained by Divine Power. I lift up my whole life to the Divine. I recognize the Light of Divine Intelligence within me. I am one with the life of all people, now. And so it is!

February 27, 2008 & Good Times
I rejoice and give thanks that God has created me in Its image and likeness; Spirit, Life and Truth. I know that the Truth of me is my One-ness with Infinite Life, Infinite Spirit. This is the Spirit in me that accepts the Good and only the Good for me and for all those around me. I am filled with the Spirit ... It is the very Life and Joy of me, now. These are the Good Times for me and for all those who accept their Good from the Infinite Abundance that is available to each and every one of us. There is never any lack ... restriction ... or limitation ... for All Is God, All Is Good ... and the All-ness of Good cannot be measured ... for it exceeds the dimension of the physical. I realize my Good is made manifest as I announce it as mine ... for in the Great-Invisible, my words are responded to instaneously. I am living in the Good Times now ... and the times are only getting better and better every day in every way ... and so it is!
Keep the faith!

February 26, 2008 & Heavenly
Knowing that I am in-God and of-God, I know and believe that this guarantees me that no matter what may appear in my experience, my Good is assured. I keep faith with Omnipresent Good ... for I know that as I recognize that there is only God, only Good ... anything that appears to me unlike the Good, is merely the collective belief in illusions that have distracted me for a moment. In the blink of an eye, I remind myself that there is only God and besides It there is none other. In this understanding that I am part of God, I know that as I bring the Power of God into my mind, identify with It, register it solidly in my consciousness, I can make use of this Power for my Good. I direct this Power of Good for Health, Happiness, Harmony, Peace, Joy ... and Love ... and I know that It responds to me to fulfill the Good desires that It has brought to my awareness. I am never, ever ... separate from God-consciousness ... and I realize this Truth and affirm it over and over again until it is my rock and shield against any drama that may attempt to hinder me from my Good. I am God-filled ... God-infused ... God-centered ... and God ordained to experience the best of times and the best of everything ... now. And so it is!
Keep the faith!

February 25, 2008 & My Inheritance
ABUNDANCE IS MY INHERITANCE
Abundance is mine. I cannot be deprived of my supply. The trees do not lack for leaves, nor do the flowers fail to bloom. Am I not as important as they? "Consider the lilies of the field, they toil not neither do they spin, yet ... Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these."
I look at the lavish wastefulness of Nature and know that God intended for me to be abundantly supplied, with everything that makes for beauty, well-being, progressive living and happiness. I, myself, am to blame when these "fruits of the Spirit" fail to appear.
Since I know the Truth of my being, I will no longer hinder or retard my good from coming to me. I will expect and accept all that I need to make life happy and worth while; for I am a child of the Spirit, and every attribute of It - every attribute of Good - is my inheritance.
Nothing but lack of faith can keep my good from me, for I am one with the Universal Essence of Life, or Spirit, and Its Substance will manifest in my experience as I believe. No longer will I go for my good, carrying only a dipper to be filled. This day, as I turn to the Father within, I bring "all the empty vessels" knowing they will be filled, and my abundance will become manifest.

February 24, 2008 & Getting It Right
Knowing that there is only One Presence, One Power, and One Intelligence ... God, I know that in this understanding, I am one with It. Being one with It, I know that everything I need to know, I now know ... and everything I need to have .. I now have. As I ask in faith, with no doubting, and claim the Good that is mine, I have confidence that my Good is revealed in the right and perfect time. I do not allow myself to be distracted by the details, but instead, I hold the completed picture of my desire in my mind with conviction. My steadfast faith attracts to me all the people who cooperate in assisting me with my demonstration of Good. I am grateful for everyone and everything that is part of my demonstration. I know that all who are helpful to me are benefited, for this is the Law. I feel a deep sense of joy and happiness in knowing that my Good benefits so many others. I know that gratitude and conviction are God's gift to me, and I feel so very blessed. And so it is.
Keep the faith!
