Renewal

I am a radiant child of God. --Adapted from Daily Word, July 18, 1959

I am eternally revealing more of my inner perfection as a radiant child of God. The passing of years has no power to lessen this perfection. Each year lends new meaning to my unfoldment.

I am a radiant child of God. I approach each day with a fresh outlook. My interest in life is quickened. With renewed vigor I participate lovingly and enthusiastically in the activities that offer the greatest opportunities for me to express my talents and abilities.

I am a radiant child of God eternally unfolding more of the perfection of my indwelling Lord.

"Bless the Lord, O my soul, ... who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's."--Psalm 103:1, 5

Saturday, July 18, 2009 - All My Needs Are Met

Father Sky Prayer

This is a prayer to Father Sky,

Taller than trees, much taller than I.

Father Sky, so cool and blue,

Help me to take the higher view.

Help me know on days of rain,

The sun will always shine again.

Teach me, too, when nights are dark

That dawn will always bring the spark

Of sunny skies and snowy cloud.

Teach me, Father, I'm allowed

To change my mood as you do yours.

Yet teach me, Father, what endures.

It's love that's large and high and tall,

Says Father Sky who loves us all.

~Julia Cameron

Today's Affirmation

Today's Meditation

Father-Mother of us all:

Thank you for taking care of me so beautifully, especially when I cannot see the way to go.

When I am confused about a choice, shine Your light on my path and give me the insight I need to be guided through it.

Lift me up to the level where I can know the right outworking of every situation, the most beautiful answer to any problem, the perfect fulfillment for every need.

Thank you for loving me so!

Amen

Joy

My joy is complete through my connection with God.

I am a joyful child of God. On this day and every day, joy fills my heart and overflows into my conversations, work, and activities.

No person or circumstance can take away my happiness unless I let them. Joy is always accessible to me through the indwelling spirit of God.

In my daily spiritual practice, I release any cares or concerns. Connected in mind and heart with God, I then relax into a peaceful state of being.

From this place of calm, joy arises, and I know that all is well. I have the energy to go forth to do what I need to do.

Spirit invigorates me, and my joy is boundless.

"Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?"--1 Corinthians 3:16

Friday, July 17, 2009 - Acceptance

"Accept whatever is going on completely, without any judgment. It is neither right, nor wrong, good nor bad. It just is. Accept whatever is going on to the best of your ability, whether you have just won the lottery, lost your job or are in a noisy disagreement with your boss. This does not mean you don't feel the feelings, pleasurable or painful, but acceptance is key here."

~Ruth Fishel

Today's Affirmation

Today, I choose joy as my attitude.

Today's Meditation

Dear Father/Mother God,

I will not resist anything that is going on in my life.

Resistance causes pain and so I lean in and embrace everything as it is.

As I pray for your guidance and help, dear God, the way is opened to hear you and feel you.

In due time all things fall into place.

I am patient.

I am listening.

Amen
