Prayer

Christ is within my consciousness,

I claim my innate Divinity now!

If I am not sure how to pray or even what to pray for, I remember Jesus’ advised us to pray like this:

.

“Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.”

Our Father is Christ Consciousness that “abides” in heaven. Jesus             located the Kingdom of Heaven within. It is a state or level of consciousness within everyone. I claim my Christ Consciousness – my innate Divinity – now. When I experience my Divinity, I know all is well.

“Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven.”

As I claim the Kingdom of Heaven within me, I am able to leash my ego and unleash my Divinity. Earth, sense consciousness, is transformed. My personality is subsumed by my Divinity establishing order in every area of my life.

“Give us this day our daily bread.” As I remember my Christ Consciousness, I know there is always enough. I become aware of Divine Ideas and Divine Substance that answer every need.

“And forgive us our depts., as we also have forgiven our debtors.”

When I forgive others – let go of what I hold against them – I can truly see their innate Divinity. At this level of consciousness, there are no grudges or misunderstandings. Most important of all, I forgive myself. I experience my own Divine Nature and am naturally flooded with a sense of gratitude.

Renewal

Based my Divine Nature, I am transformed by

the renewal of my mind.

Every day my body is renewing itself. Old cells and unwanted materials are eliminated while new skin is created, hair grows, and each organ remakes itself cell by cell. This same process applies to my inner life as well. I may have noticed a habit or reaction that I would like to change, a belief that is limiting, or a false story I am telling myself. Just as dead cells are eliminated so too must our old thoughts and beliefs be eliminated. My mind is renewed thought by thought.

Each day I release old ways of being and give life to a renewed, radiant self that is compassionate, understanding and forgiving. I consider what the Divine Image of myself might be. It may be more compassionate, understanding, or forgiving. I claim this to be true in my prayer time. I hold this vision in my mind and heart, knowing the Law of Mind action is always doing its work. As I hold to this vision it gathers more substance – more thoughts and images like it. In the fullness of time, compassion, understanding and forgiveness easily and naturally manifest!

Christ  Spirit

I am aware of my Christ Spirit because

Jesus of Nazareth pointed the way.

I honor the birth of Jesus for his discovering his innate Christ Spirit, developing the awareness of it and using it to teach others to do the same.  Every time I live from my own awareness of my Christ Spirit I bear witness to the Christ Spirit in others and to the master teacher, Jesus.

On a day when gifts are often exchanged, I remember the most precious gift of all – the gift of pure awareness. Practicing the awareness of my Divine Nature is a form of prayer – a time of experiencing sacred Oneness. Whatever my activities today, I choose to treat every interaction as sacred by practicing spiritual awareness and Oneness with everyone. I might initiate a round of gratitude – sharing at the family table. Or I might give my undivided attention to a friend who needs me. As I am aware of their Divinity I am also aware of my own.

Secure

I am a Christ; I am safe and secure.

Whatever the whirl of activity may spin around me, I am safe and secure. Whatever the situation, I know I am more than my personality. I feel secure through the use of the Divine Powers of Wisdom and Understanding. I stand strong and secure through the Power of Strength. I am poised. I live with ease and confidence.

Just as Jesus was safe and secure as he was wrapped in cloths and laid in a manger, I hold my Divine Nature in my present awareness where I am save and secure. I am Divine Love and Strength and so much more.  At the core of my being is the steady awareness of my Divine Value. I trust and use my Divinity to be loving and kind. I easily know what to think, say and do. When I rely on my Divinity I am safe and secure.

Joy

I am I AM. Joy abides in me. I am joyful!

While receiving a gift I may feel happy while unadorned joy is itself one the greatest gifts I can give myself. I use joy to lift my heart. Joy increases my health and sense of well-being. As I exude happiness, others are uplifted as well.

Joy may be quiet, such as the tug at my heart I feel when I see a child happily playing. It may be boisterous, like shared laughter that brings tears to my eyes. Yet all joy is an experience of the heart – it springs forth from the depths of my Divinity.

Joy is always just a thought away. When I am experiencing stress in my life, I remember my many blessings, I think of kindnesses given and received. I choose to simply sing a happy tune. Joyful songs cheer my heart.

I lift my spirits by recalling the good I have witnessed in so many people and circumstances. I am I AM. Joy abides in me. I am joyful!

Love

I AM Divine. I am Love. I am loving.

Love is one of our most important Powers. It is our innate capacity to desire, harmonize and unify. I use my Power of Love to connect us with others when there seems to be no way. It begins with desire. I must first desire to connect and heal. Then the Power of Love harmonizes and unifies my consciousness around my desire to connect with others. I have thoughts, ideas and images that are about connecting myself with others. I act on them in productive ways.

As I prepare for the celebration of the birth of Jesus, I am reminded that he said to “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:38). I must desire to see my neighbor’s Divinity. I must desire to be at peace and in harmony with my neighbor. My desire to love them harmonizes and unifies my consciousness so that I do feel love for my neighbor.

Using my Power of Love, I desire to be kind and caring. My love finds expression as kindness to strangers as well as friends and family. The gifts I give and receive are symbols of the warmth and affection we share.

I use the Power of Love to desire to be compassionate for those in need. My mind harmonizes thought, ideas and images so that I know how to be compassionate with those in need. My love – my desire – for community is expressed with each smile or kind word I offer to others. I AM Divine. I am love. I am loving.

Peace

Centered in the awareness of Oneness, I am peace-filled.

I choose to begin this day and every day in the Silence. I am at peace. I radiate peace as I go about my day. My peaceful presence emanates serenity where I go. In any encounter with someone who is stressed or upset, I respond with calm rather than stress.

My sense of peace is established and centered in my Divinity. It is readily accessible. Because nobody and nothing can disturb my peace of mind, the calm peace of my soul remains undisturbed.

If my imagination should create a worrisome scenario, I respond by centering in the Oneness I Am. I faithfully remember I can work all things together for good. I think clearly. I act confidently. I am calm and serene. I re-establish my awareness of peace. I am peace-filled.

Faith and Imagination

I use Faith and Imagination to be Christ,

my Divine Potential.

Some say seeing is believing. Research shows we tend to see through the lens of our beliefs. In other words, we tend to see based on what we believe. This is where the Power of Faith comes in. It is our ability to believe. Charles Fillmore called it “the perceiving power of the mind linked with the power to shape substance.” In this sense, Faith is linked with the Power of Imagination. We use Faith to believe in something in our minds before there is any evidence of it in the outer realm of empirical forms.

I invest time in meditation and prayer to establish an awareness of my Divine Potential. I believe I am Christ; I am Infinite Potential expressing finitely. The more I believe I am Christ the more easily I see it in others and myself. As I use Faith to perceive my Divine Identity I use Imagination to give It substance in mind – give It shape and from in my mind. I see It more clearly in my mind’s eye. This enables me to be the Christ I already am more and more each day.

Family and friends

I love and support family and friends. I see their Divinity.

A towering pine or mighty oak draws on rain, sunshine, air, and soil to thrive. Similarly, I grow through the comfort, inspiration, ideas, and enrichment I receive from others – friends and family.

I have the family I was born into and the “family” I choose. Family can be a vital part of my spiritual support system. I experience and see their innate Divinity as I know my own. Today I give thanks for my family and friends who are important to me. I strengthen my connection through simple acts of kindness. As we gather for special celebrations, I embrace our similarities and celebrate our distinctions.

While away from home, I stay in touch by reaching out. I send a note, email, or text. I call, “FaceTime” or “Skype.” Near or far, I bless others with warm thoughts and prayers of gratitude for their presence in my life.

Healthy Choices

I am Spirit, mind and body. I am whole and healthy!

I make healthy choices in all areas of my life. Since we are threefold in nature – Spirit, mind and body – it is important that we support all aspects of our beingness. In a very basic sense, Spirit gives rise to mind as mind gives rise to body. Even so, they are a unit and each “interacts” with the other.

My Spiritual Nature is my primary. While it is timelessly whole and perfect, I still must take care to remember It. I daily invest time in meditation and prayer. Through these practices I remember my Divinity and live more aligned with It.

I care for my mind by carefully selecting reading materials, what I listen to and what I watch. I find things that feed and support a healthy and happy frame of mind. I use denials to disempower error thoughts. I use affirmations to claim new ways of thinking and being.

I must also care for my body. I listen to my body and do what I need to do. I exercise and stretch regularly. I take long walks without the distractions of my cell phone. I make sure I eat a balanced diet that is best for my body.

Overall, I trust my inner wisdom to guide me on how to care for my mind and body. I also notice that inner knowing of when to meditate and simply be. I effortlessly know what to think, say and do. I am whole and healthy!
