Prospering in the Stillness

I get still and know that God Is right where I am, working always for my highest and greatest Good. I fill my consciousness with the Truth and allow prosperity to reign supreme within my mind. My mind is focused on God, the Good ... and all things come to me with grace and ease. I let go of any thought that claims that my prosperity is restricted or limited in any way. I know this is just the un-truth making a false claim against my senses. I let God loose in my consciousness and my imagination is enlarged in its capacity to claim a greater Good than ever before. I depend on Principle for my everything ... and Principle responds to me with grace and ease. "Before I ask" ... my Good is made manifest for my good use ... and for this, I am eternally grateful. And so it is.

Life In The Spirit Is Free

I know that the Spirit is free and unobstructed. It is Infinite; Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient. It is in me and around me, pressing against me within and without. It is the very life of me for It is the only Life there is. I recognize myself as being complete, perfect, and free. I know that Truth is subtle, yet precise, so I know and understand that I am not one with Infinite Mind, but one in It. There is no separation for God Is All. All that I think, I think in God. Every idea that I have, is an idea in God. As God is Infinite, my capacity to think, to will, to imagine, is infinite. I am never without a solution for every seeming problem, nor am I ever separated from God the Good, by any condition or circumstance that I may find myself in. My Good is Omnipresent and Omnipotent ... it is unobstructed. The Spirit is free and therefore I am free. I am free in the Spirit and that is the only true freeedom there is. I know this is so ... and I let it be so. And so it is.

Eliminating "seeming" obstructions

The Spirit has no past. It has never been bound by any external conditions. It has always been, and forever will remain, free and independent of conditions. I am of the essence of pure Spirit. I am one with God. I know there is no limitation operating in, around or through me. There is no burden of race belief obstructing me.

It makes no difference what happened yesterday, or what has happened in the past for me or for anyone. My word is a law of elimination of all beliefs and obstructions, no matter where they may come from. I am not bound by anything that has ever happened. The Spirit is creating everything new in my life today. I am free and unfettered. I dwell in the secret place of the most High. There is no fear, no uncertainty, no hesitation, no doubt.

Everything that I do shall prosper. The doorway of opportunity is open before me today. Everything that I do, say and think is stimulated by Divine Intelligence, impulsed by Divine Love. I am guided, directed and guarded into right action. Today, goodness, abundance, happiness, joy, success and friendship are increasingly made manifest in my experience.
And so it is.

Every Time I Turn Around ...

Every time I turn around, God is blessing me. I feel so grateful for the immense blessings that have manifested in my life and for the blessings unfolding into my life. I know that the All-Good that God Is, provides me with everything necessary for the greatest and happiest experience of life. Knowing that All things come to me with grace and ease, I relax into Mind as I contemplate the ideas for Good that come to my awareness. I know there is enough Good to share and to spare and so I am never concerned about lack or limitation in any Good thing. As I think into Mind how blessed I am ... I am even more blessed than ever. And so it is.

Prosperity Unfolding

I rejoice and give thanks that prosperity is unfolding with grace and ease in my life now. I know that the Source of my Good; God, Infinite Spirit, blesses me abundantly today with success and prosperity in all that I do. I know that the "laborer is worthy of his/her hire" and so I know that the work that I do and have done, is compensated through my consciousness of Infinite Supply. I believe and know that I believe ... that the Universe continually supports me in realizing prosperity and success to a greater degree than ever before. I allow this Infinite Presence to work for me ... through me ... by opening my mind to an increase in all things Good now. Everyone I meet today cooperates in supporting my success and financial increase. Everyone I meet today is benefited by this cooperation with me. I know that the Universe is a "Unity" ... and the Good for one, is Good for All. I accept this as the truth for me and for everyone now. I let it be so with gratitude and thanksgiving ... and it is so now.

The Joy In Knowing

I feel the joy in knowing that God Is Present right where I am. I know that as my mind adjusts to this highest of Truth, I can know that all things are working for my Good. Wherever God Is, Good is ... and this I know is the truth for me and for everyone. This truth lifts me up and I feel a greater measure of enthusiasm as I let my mind be absorbed by the Good. Knowing that God is Present keeps me motivated and my intuition is heightened as I listen for guidance and direction. As I silently commune with the Infinite I feel the sweet joy in knowing that all is well ... that I am in my perfect right place ... and that all things unfold with grace and ease as I open my mind to a greater and more glorious experience of life. "Today is the day the Lord hath made and let's rejoice and be glad in it" ... these wise and beautiful words remind me that what I am accepting as truth becomes the Law of my Life ... and so I accept that my life is a joyous and prosperous unfoldment of every Good thing I can imagine for myself. Knowing this is so, I direct my thoughts towards that which is lovely, wonderful and beautiful ... knowing that as I see my life in this way ... this is the way it is. And so it is.

All Is Well, Right Where I Am

I feel the blessing of knowing that the Presence of the Presence of God is right where I am. I feel Its Love, Harmony, Peace, and Joy within me and without. I know that everything I see, hear, feel, taste, and touch, is part of this Presence and all is well. I realize that my conviction that Good permeates all things, reveals a greater Good to me. I accept that my beliefs about the world in which I live are reflected back to me and create my reality. Knowing that the true Reality includes both the Seen and the Un-Seen, I am never disturbed by any appearance that seeks to deny the All-ness of Good ... the Omnipresence of God, Itself. I accept within my consciousness that the Power of Infinite Spirit knows no opposition and so I focus my mind on the Good and the Very Good ... and only the Good is revealed to me. I know that the nature of God resides within my consciousness, working through me and for me creating my highest Good in every condition and circumstance that I find myself in. I know that as I accept a greater Good in my mind ... without doubting ... this Good manifests in the right and perfect time and in the right and perfect way. I accept this Good knowing that it is mine ... for it is the Infinite's will that my Good comes to me with grace and ease. I accept this Good with a grateful and joyous heart filled with love and thanksgiving. And so it is.
