Keeping My Mind On The Prize

Today and every day I recognize my conscious union with G-d, Infinite Spirit. And in this putting G-d first, I am putting the focus on good and more good in my life experience. I know that as I unify in my mind, with G-d, I guarantee that my health, success, and prosperity are assured. I realize that the good that I desire is mine to accept, and so in the silence of my mind I choose the good that I accept for myself today; health, happiness, success, financial ease, and peace. I know that this good and so much more is unfolding in my life experience now from the infinite abundance of good that is available in the Universe. I accept these things and more for everyone who desires to experience them. Feeling this at-one-ment with G-d and the good, I stir up the spirit within me and feel a greater vitality and enthusiasm for life, now and always. I believe in the good as I believe in G-d's eternal Presence in my life. I accept these words as my truth, and I feel blessed by them as I open my mind to the magnificence and bliss that is mine now. And so it is.

My Faith Is Un-obstructed

As I shift my thoughts in recognition of G-d, Infinite Spirit, I begin to stir up the faith within me to consciously sense my union with G-d. I know and have faith in my ability to use the Power of the Infinite at any point in time to demonstrate the good that I desire to unfold in my experience. I realize and accept that the desires of my heart lead me to a greater and greater good in all things. I believe and accept that G-d desires to express this good through me, and so I expect to experience this good as it unfolds each and every day. I live in a state of positive expectancy that my good always manifests in the right and perfect time to fulfill every need and desire that comes to me. I believe and accept that the loving essence of Spirit forever expresses in all situations and conditions in my life as peace, as joy, as harmony, and as prosperous living. I trust implicitly in Spirit to always respond to my thoughts and words that affirm the fullness and the glory of Its Presence in my life. I am always on the right path for my thoughts are always on G-d, and my faith is un-obstructed. And in this consciousness of One-ness with the Divine, I am forever grateful.
And so it is.

I Discover A New Freedom

Credit to Dr. Ernest Holmes:

Today I practice being myself, and seek to reveal more fully the miracle of Life.
I discover a fuller delight in living, and in the wonder of Being that continually wells up within me.
I think simply and directly from the center of my being, which is G-d, the living Spirit.
I enter into the faith of believing, the joy of knowing and the act of living - which proclaim the one Power and the one Presence in all things.
Today, as a child would, I accept this Presence that responds to me in a personal, warm and colorful way. It fills me with vitality, opens my mind to greater vistas, and imbues me with a love for all life.
As I now accept my partnership with the Infinite I discover a new freedom.
My thoughts soar, my experiences expand and unbounded joy fills my being.
And so it is.

Prosperity Is My Result

I rejoice and give thanks for knowing and accepting that there is only One Mind, and that this Mind is G-d, Infinite Spirit. And in the awareness that this Mind is Life, I know and accept that I am a part of this One Life. In loving trust and faith, I am guided and directed to a greater consciousness of prosperity as I turn to Spirit in all things. I know that the only power I will ever know must be the power that flows through my mind from the One Power, G-d. And in this realization, I can cause that which I choose to experience to be made manifest in my life. I think only of prosperity, of opulence, of financial freedom, and prosperity is my resulting experience. Money and all things necessary for me to do that which I choose to do, to have that which I choose to have, to be that which I choose to be .. is mine now. I am never without that which is necessary for me to move forward with an ever-increasing success in all things that concern me. Knowing that Spirit is always my Source, I expect and receive all that is mine, for I know and believe that "the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." And in this consciousness, I want for nothing, as I am a believing and receiving expression of the One. My mind is always open to the expected and the unexpected, and I act on every good idea that comes to my awareness that is part of my increase in prosperity and success. I feel the joy that is part of this awareness as I live in a state of happiness and enthusiasm each and every day. I pause and give thanks that this is so for me ... and in gratitude I generously share my good with all those in my world of experience. I release these words as I mentally thank G-d for expressing Its Greatness as a part of me and filling every space and every circumstance of my life with the Good.
And so it is.

Claim Your Wholeness

Credit to Dr. Ernest Holmes:

I now affirm that every organ, action and function of my physical body is animated by the living Spirit.
There is one perfect Mind directing my thoughts, one complete Wholeness sustaining my being, one Divine circulation flowing through me.
By day and by night I realize that the Divine Life flowing through me is renewing every cell of my body after the image of Its own perfection. I give thanks for this silent Power which sustains me, and I say to my own mind: "You are to believe in this Power. You are to accept It. You are to let It flow through you, for you are one with It. There is no other power, no other presence and no other life; therefore, all the Power there is, all the Presence there is, and all the Life there is, is sustaining you now and will continue to sustain you."
And so it is.

Renewal

Today, as I recognize the Power and Presence of the Infinite surrounding me, pressing against me, and flowing through me, I renew my decision to express that part of the Infinite Spirit that dwells within me. I choose peace this day and am at peace with all things that concern me. Today, I choose health and know that the Principle of Health is always the true nature of my physical and mental being. I am choosing love and cooperation as I let the Spirit of unity and love be expressed through each and every contact I make today. Today, I choose prosperity and freedom, knowing that all things necessary for me to do the thing that is mine to do, to have, or to be, is mine now. I am a part of this great Power and Presence that permeates the Universe and I never lose sight of this in my mind. And I know that all the power that I need is already given to me to use to make all things marvelous and wonderful in my life, now. And so it is.
