I am grateful for the people who have understood how to comfort me when I was feeling down. They listened when I needed to talk and blessed me with their kindness. Often they didn’t need to say a word or do anything more than be with me for a while. Their understanding presence was what I really needed.
Even if I am without the comforting presence of another, I can find comfort in my inherent DIVINITY. I need not feel self-conscious about needing comfort or how I express my feelings. As I open my heart to my DIVINITY, I use innate UNDERSTANDING and LOVE to accept myself completely, just as I am. I know the PRINCIPLE of LOVE is unconditional. As I lean into my DIVINITY, my sadness diminishes. Healing peace flows through my entire being as I am comforted.
I affirm WHOLENESS with my thoughts, words, and actions.
The PRINCIPLE of WHOLENESS is part of my true nature. Even if I am facing a health challenge, DIVINE LIFE, HEALTH, and WHOLENESS are active in every cell of my body. Knowing this, I hold thoughts of wholeness and speak life-affirming words. I give my body the rest, nourishment, and care that will help it to restore health. I refuse to allow thoughts of sickness or weakness to grow in my consciousness. I seek support among friends and family who share my belief in WHOLENESS.
I feel honored when I’m asked to support WHOLENESS for others during prayer. I look beyond any appearance of illness, and with faith-filled vision, I decree that the PRINCIPLE of WHOLENESS is fully present in those for whom I pray. Their innate bodily intelligence uses IT to restore total health with ease and grace.
I affirm WHOLENESS with my thoughts, words, and actions.
If someone asks me how I’m feeling, I may smile and simply respond, “I am blessed.” I may have bills to pay, maybe a few aches and pains, but I remain aware that I am fully human and fully DIVINE. I know wherever I am, whatever I am doing, I can put a demand on my DIVINITY with my very next thought.
While I may not believe challenging events are blessings, I will feel blessed when I respond to them from the awareness of my DIVINITY. Rather than reacting anxiously, I proceed calmly with ease and grace. I have confidence that I can always use Divine Order (mind-idea-expression) to change my thinking. Knowing I am blessed, I pray that others recognize that they, too, are blessed.
I live centered in the awareness that, wherever I am, I am 100% DIVINE and 100% human. In every moment I am using my DIVINITY to express my humanity.
Grace is often defined as undeserved favor. Grace is not earned; I freely give it to myself and others. Grace assures me that I am never alone on my journey through life, that no matter what I do or fail to do, I am unconditional love.
Grace touches every area of my life. In a lonely moment, grace is the overwhelming awareness that I am love and am loved. It is the surprising way through a challenge I considered unsolvable. It is my whole body suddenly glowing with the power of divine life, even as I experience a health challenge. These are just some of the ways I experience grace.
So much of modern life involves time alone and solitary effort. The more conveniences I acquire, the less time I may seem to have. When I find myself spending too much time alone, it’s good for me to invest time and effort in my relationships. Togetherness is a way to remember life is about more than work and business, and I am part of something greater than myself.
Time invested in others blesses and enriches me. It calls me to share of myself and remain open to others’ journeys and ways of looking at life I may not have considered. Togetherness is a balm for my soul, a way to feel the DIVINE reflected in those with whom I share this wonderful planet. I am part of the wondrous human family, and I celebrate our togetherness.
