O Spirit of man and God within me, Thy Power is great, and Thy Knowledge goes beyond the range of human experience.
Thy Wisdom excels that of all else, and beside Thee there is none other.
In Thy Strength do I daily walk and live;
In Thy Presence do I always rest in peace and joy.
Spirit within me and without, Powerful Thou art, and Great;
Wonderful is Thy Might, and Complete is Thy Understanding.
I let Thy Mighty Strength flow through me,
And out into all the paths of my human endeavors.
Life from within expresses through me.
- Dr. Ernest Holmes, 1926 The Science of Mind

Searching for God
"Wherever you are, God is. ... Know, you who seek Him, that He seeks you more steadfastly. He seeks you. He loves you. He will not let you be. You could not walk alone, not for a moment, not in the darkest night. Though you stretched not out your hand, yet your hand would be in His. Though you held not out your heart, yet His heart would infold you." - James Dillet Freeman (author and leader of Unity, made his transition on April 9, 2003)
I know that wherever I am, God is, for the Spirit of God in-dwells me. I know that every seeming challenge that may appear in my life, is God calling to me to go higher in my conscious awareness of Its Presence in my life. I am never worried, never concerned, at any moment in time, for I know that I am living in the Presence of the Presence of God. In God I live and move and have my being, and in me, God seeks to express Itself as the Good in all things that concern me. As I direct my awareness to God, Infinite Spirit, I know that All the Power of the Universe supports me in my Good. I live each day in right action and Divine timing. I move, in mind, definitely towards a greater Good at all times. I know that my Good is increasing at all levels. And I am experiencing a greater capacity for success, prosperity, love and joy every day. I am grateful that this is so ... I let it be so ... and so it is.
Keep the faith!

My Prosperity Is Assured
I rejoice and give thanks for knowing that God works through my consciousness to bring forth the great increase of prosperity that I accept for myself and for all others today. Knowing that All Is God and All Is Mind, I realize that there is no opposition to my Good. I open my mind to the Infinite Flow of prosperity and I make use of this increase in positive and constructive ways that enhance my life and the life of others. I enjoy the Good Life for it is God's desire for me to receive all that I choose for myself. I know and accept that everything that enters my consciousness comes from the One Mind ... and it is Good. I accept the best of times and the best of everything ... now ... for there is more than enough to share and to spare. I live lavishly in happiness, joy, love and in harmony with Life. I freely give and freely receive ... trusting that Spirit always supplies me abundantly through my consciousness of prosperity. I feel a marvelous feeling of gratitude knowing that God, Infinite Spirit, is with me always and in all-ways.
And so it is.

Everything I Need To Know
There is only One Mind, that Mind is God and that Mind is my mind now. Knowing that my mind is in unity with the One Mind, I know and I know that I know that Mind reveals to me everything I need to know when I need to know it. I do not have to push and pressure anyone for answers ... or spend countless hours searching for the information that I require. All I must do is open my mind to the One Mind ... that which is All Knowing ... and the information that is necessary for me to move forward into a greater expression of Life ... comes to me with grace and ease ... from known and unknown channels. In this realization I know that this Power that is within me ... is the same Power that created the Universe in perfect Order. And I know that as I stay on focus and live my life on purpose ... all things come to me in perfect Law and Order to manifest the Good that I desire in the right and perfect time. I feel empowered to move forward into a greater expression of my life's purpose ... I accept everything that is necessary for It's complete and perfect manifestation. My love, my joy, my strength and my hope is centered on Principle as I live in the perfect life that is mine ... now.
And so it is.
Keep the faith!
