I Live A Life Of Grace And Ease

I live a life of grace and ease for I maintain my connection with my Source; God, Infinite Spirit. I know that I am never separated from the Wisdom, Peace, Joy and Strength of my Source ... and my experiences reflect this awareness with grace and ease. I love living this life that is mine to experience. I grow ever closer to the Spirit within me as I involve God in all things that concern me. I know that Wisdom guides me and directs me in all that I do for I know that my recognition that this is so opens my consciousness to all the good that is mine. Each and every day I fill my mind with spiritual inspiration knowing that I of mine own self can do nothing without the Spirit that is my very life. I accept with deep gratitude that this life is a gift ... and I am so very grateful for it. And so it is.

Keep the faith!

I Weave A New Pattern Of Thought Through My Mind

Beginning in this moment I weave a new pattern of thought through my mind. I let the thoughts of the past be done, finished ... and I embrace in my mind a new idea of myself. This new idea that I embody today is that all that I do is successful, all that I accept for myself is good and very good. I accept the idea of me as a divine expression of Infinite Spirit filled with love, peace, joy and happiness. I accept the idea of me living a life filled with enthusiasm and passion for life, love and Truth. I accept the idea of me today living in financial abundance with enough to share and to spare. I accept the idea of me today as a living example of someone who has been greatly blessed and continues to be blessed with every good thing I can imagine for myself. I am ready to experience the good life and I begin to experience it right now in this very moment. I accept and believe that I am divinely guided and directed to realize the Good in all things and all people who enter into my experience of life. Today in this new vision and in this new consciousness, I accept that Spirit works through me, as me, and for me, to make everything possible, now. And so it is!

A Bright New Beginning

Credit to Dr. Frank Richelieu, "The Art Of Being Yourself" -

Say to yourself:
"In Spirit I live and move and have my being. Wherever I am, it is. Whatever it is, I am. Whenever I call upon it, it responds. I have but to align my consciousness to its infinite flow.
Today, I claim the consciousness that is mine. Today, I claim the joy that is mine. Today, I claim the peace that is mine. Today, I claim the harmony that is mine."

Claim these things. They are here for you. When you accept them, you are not taking from another. You are not diminishing the supply.

Never Ceasing Good

Credit to Dr. Frank Richelieu, "The Art Of Being Yourself"
Say to yourself:
"I am prosperous. I am prosperous in mind, heart, body and spirit.
I am prosperous in health. I am prosperous in ideas.
I am prosperous in love. I am prosperous in friendship. I
see and feel the prospering power of the Infinite flowing
through me. I receive my good, and I share my good. I keep
my good in circulation and it is never ceasing."

If you do this, the doors of life will open and your demand
will be met. The law of increase will bring your good into your life.

More Money Is My Expectation

As I become more aware of the abundant nature of the Universe and God's infinite capacity to create, I realize and know that within me too, is the capacity to create a greater abundance. God-in-the-midst-of-me leads me and guides me to that which is prosperous and successful. The Law of My Mind is steadfast in knowing that God is my Supply and that God supplies me abundantly. I cannot be distracted by the seeming chaos on Wall Street or the timidity on Main Street. My abundance is not controlled by anything or anyone outside of me. Success and Prosperity are the Laws of my Life, now ... and more and more money is my expectation. I feel the joy in receiving money, the happiness of giving money, the harmony of circulating money ... knowing that Money is God in Action ... it is but a symbol of God's willingness to provide for me every Good thing I can imagine ... and right now my imagination is thrilled with the energy of acceptance and receptivity to more and more money. I give thanks for every penny, nickel and dime that comes to me, knowing that as I demonstrate money, more money comes to me in ever-increasing amounts. I am grateful that this is so ... I let it be so ... and so it is!

Keep the faith!

My Prayer for My Country

Please join in prayer to bless the U.S.A.

I know that Divine Intelligence governs the destiny of the United States of America, directing the thought and the activity of all who guide its affairs.

I know that success, prosperity, and happiness are the gifts of freedom and are the Divine heritage of everyone in this country.

I know that success, prosperity, and happiness are now operating in the affairs of every individual in this country.

I know that Divine guidance enlightens the collective mind of the people of this country, causing it to know that economic security may come to all without the loss of either personal freedom or individual self-expression.

I know that no one can believe or be led to believe that freedom must be surrendered in order to insure economic security for all.

The All-Knowing Mind contains the answer to every problem which confronts this country. I know that every leader in this country is now directed by this All-Knowing Mind and has the knowledge of a complete solution to every problem. Each is compelled to act upon this knowledge to the end that abundance, security, and peace shall come to all.

And I know that this spiritual democracy shall endure, guaranteeing to everyone in this country personal liberty, happiness, and self-expression.

Spirit-filled Life

My mind is open and receptive to experiencing the Presence of Spirit in all that I do and in all things that concern me. I know that my spirit of confidence and self assurance is anchored by my trust and faith in Divine Guidance. I accept and identify with the Living Spirit within me and this acceptance empowers me to make the right decisions and choices that move me forward in an ever greater experience of prosperity, joy and success. I know that the Divine Plan for me today is to experience more of God, the Good ... and I am open and receptive to God's willingness to work with me, as me, and through me, so my mind is open to new ideas and a renewal of enthusiasm and expectancy of prosperity and success unfolding in my life now. I accept all the Good that is mine and in gratitude for this Good, I give of this Good generously with the conviction that the more I give the more I receive. I do not set any limits in my mind on the measure of Good that I accept for me and for all others as I witness the marvelous results of living a Spirit-filled life, now. And so it is.

Keep the faith!
