WEEKLY WORD
APRIL 14, 2024-BLISSFUL LIVING!
"If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." —Matthew 21:22
"Keep your conscious mind busy with expectation of the best, and your subconscious will faithfully reproduce your habitual thinking." —Joseph Murphy
I live with intention and gratefully follow my bliss!
Living with intention is accepting the goodness and allowing the streams of pure, positive energy to flow into and through our lives. When we allow and embrace this idea, there is a new beginning— a new way of perceiving events, ideas, and life. We become aware that we can create whatever we want.
Intention is becoming crystal clear about our hopes and desires, then creating a thought mold, much like a JELL-O mold, so that the idea can take form and have material expression in our everyday life. It is then we begin to experience living a life of bliss.
Joseph Campbell felt that when we follow our bliss, we put ourselves on a kind of track that has been waiting for us and the life we ought to be living is the life we are living. People, things, events, and circumstances will be put into our paths. He said "…it's as if invisible hands come to help."
I live with intention, allowing God's perfect divine plan to unfold in my life!

APRIL 22, 2024-I AM RICHLY BLESSED!
"And of His fullness have we all received, and grace for grace." —John 1:16
"It is your birthright to be prosperous, regardless of who you are or where you may be." - Charles Fillmore
I am a radiate, prosperous child of God. My life is filled to overflowing with His good. I do not fear any appearance of lack or limitation, for I know that God is enriching my life and affairs—opening new doors of opportunities and abundance.
I am open, receptive, expectant, and responsive to the abundance which is mine to experience. Prosperity is my birthright, my inheritance from God, and I accept it willingly and with gratitude.
Every part of my life is filled with the promise of unlimited fulfillment. I daily accept more and more of the good God has in store for me. God is the source of my infinite supply. I am richly blessed!

MARCH 25, 2024-PALM SUNDAY
The following is from the DAILY WORD, April 3,1953
I HAVE FAITH IN THE TRIUMPHANT POWER OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN ME.
Sometimes when we are passing through a difficult experience we wonder why we must meet it. We cannot see how it will contain any
good for us. And so it is with Good Friday. On the surface there seems to be little reason for regarding the day of Jesus' crucifixion as good and for calling it Good Friday.
But the triumphant Spirit of Jesus makes even this, the most agonizing of human experiences, emerge as something good. Even the day of Jesus' crucifixion was a day of such triumph of Spirit, such loving kindness, such mercy and compassion, and such fearless courage that when we read about it or think about it we are lifted up, we are strengthened, we are encouraged to go forward in our own overcomings.
Let us give thanks to God for the power to triumph, which He has given us. Let us find new faith in the strength of Jesus. Let us draw from Him new power to forgive, new will to stand strong and steadfast.
"And, I, if I be lifted up——will draw all men unto myself." —-John 12:32
#GoodFriday #DailyWord #unityjoyoflife.org #JesusChrist
MARCH 17, 2024-EXCEPT ALL OF GOD’S GOOD NOW!
"If they obey and serve him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity, their years in contentment." —Job 36:11
While it is true that God Power is always with us, it is not true that we have always realized its presence. To realize this is to be able to make conscious use of it, direct it, for ourselves
and for others. —Ernest Holmes
Become very familiar with the idea that there's good for you in the universe and you are free to use it. There is a force greater than ourselves and we are not separate from it. Jesus knew this when He said, "It is not I but the Father within that doth His works…" and when He stated, "This that I do you can do also, and even greater things."
Think on these things…What good do you want to express? What good do you want to experience in your life? There is no challenge or situation that we cannot surrender to the Father within. And since we know the truth that nothing is impossible to God, that he has blessed us with all He has to give, and that all is good, we can experience life in a most magnificent way. How exciting is that? The Father and I are one and I expect to experience all His good in my life now!

MARCH 4, 2024-I PERSIST AND PRAY!
The following is from the Daily Word 3/4/1965
I PERSIST IN FAITH AND PRAYER.
It is not so much the words we speak in prayer as the spirit behind these words that determines the out come of our prayer. If we begin praying with the attitude that we we will pray for awhile and see what happens; if nothing does, we will quit praying and try another method, such prayer will never reap results.
If, however, we pray with the resolve, that with God's help we break through our fears and doubts and contact the healing peace of the Most High; then this prayer, because of our resolve to persist to the glorious end, will come the life and open the way for God's love to set us free. To approach prayer in a half-hearted spirit, anticipating defeat, is to court failure; but to pray with resort that with God's help we will persist until we win, is to succeed.
No matter how discouraging appearances may be, I never give up, but with God's help I calmly persist in prayer until His healing peace floods my being.
"They ought always to pray and not to faint." Luke 18:1

FEBRUARY 26, 2024 - THY WILL BE DONE!
The following lesson is from the Daily Word, Sunday, February 19, 1956
THY WILL BE DONE.
We should never be afraid to say, "Thy will be done", for God is Spirit and His beautiful and most loving nature was perfectly revealed through Jesus.
Jesus came on earth to show us what God is like; and Jesus healed the sick, raised the dead, cleansed the leper and cast out devils.
Jesus never condemned those who made mistakes, nor did He ever refuse to help those who asked for help—and remember, Jesus came to show us what God is like.
Jesus brought forth abundance where there had been lack, He brought about great calm where there had been a storm, He brought light and hope wherever there was darkness; andHe came to show us what God is like.
Imagine yourself in the presence of Jesus of Nazareth. Would you fear to say to Him, "Thy will be done"? Of course not! Then do not fear to say "Thy will be done" to God, for Jesus showed us what God is like, a most loving, compassionate Father.
"Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father" —John 14:9
#"Thywillbedone" #Fearnot #unityjoyoflife.org #John14:9
JANUARY 22, 2024- I AM MIGHTIER THAN CIRCUMSTANCES!
"….for thy law is my delight." —Psalms 119:77
"Only by law can anything become visible in the universe." —Sue Sikking
I am mightier than circumstances! There is something within us that seems to tell us that we are mightier than any situation or experience. We are mightier than anything outside of our-
selves; mightier than all belief in adversity, injustice, illness, disease, poverty, lack or failure.
The law of good is always at work in our lives. We are never under any law or belief that can limit or hinder our health, finances, or sense of well-being. Only the perfect law of good, the law of health, plenty and well-being, can govern me and all of my affairs.
I am mightier than circumstances! In this realization we rest, knowing that the law of good is lifting us higher and higher to a consciousness of oneness with God and greater and greater good. What is ours by divine right cannot be removed from us.
THE LAW OF GOOD IS AT WORK IN MY LIFE NOW.
I AM MIGHTIER THAN CIRCUMSTANCES!
JANUARY 15, 2024- DIVINE WISDOM!
"For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. —Proverbs 2:6
"We should go first to God, and next to man as God directs,following the guidance of Spirit with faith and confidence." —Ernest Wilson
Infinite Wisdom guides me and I receive the blessings of Divine Direction.
We are never alone, the hand of God is upon us directing our way. God always has the answer, no matter how dire a situation may appear, we can turn within and have a heart to heart conversation with the mighty power and presence of God and say, "God, I need some help here, this is the situation that needs solving."
I now place this situation and all that concerns me into your care. I still my thoughts and wait quietly for inner direction, knowing that your light and wisdom will be revealed to me quickly with ease and under grace. Thank you God that you have made my decisions clear and my thoughts in alignment with the highest good of all concerned.
We should go first to God and next to man as God directs, following the guidance with faith and confidence.
Infinite Wisdom guides me and I receive the blessings of Divine Direction.

JANUARY 7, 2024- LIFE IS A CINCH BY THE INCH!
"Life is hard by the yard, a cinch by the inch." —Anonymous
"I will go before you and level mountains." —Isaiah 45:2
All too often we look at life from afar and are overwhelmed by the things that need to be accomplished by us. We forget that we have a partner in life, God. It is wise to remember that our loving God goes before us and clears the way for our happiness and success.
Many years ago, Pauline Phillips, of "Dear Abby" fame, made some New Year's resolutions, which she adapted from the original credo of Al-Anon. I believe that these statements of wisdom make sense for us today and will help us to remember to relax, be calm, and enjoy the ever-unfolding experience of living a full, happy, joyous, successful life:
JUST FOR TODAY: I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching goals or try to overcome all of my problems at once.
JUST FOR TODAY: I will be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. If my mind fills with clouds, I will chase them away and fill it with sunshine.
JUST FOR TODAY: I will accept what is. I will face reality. I will correct those things that I can correct and accept those I cannot.
JUST FOR TODAY: I will improve my mind. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. I will not be a mental loafer.
JUST FOR TODAY: I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable, I will be kind and courteous to those who cross my path, and I'll not speak ill of others. I will improve my appearance, speak softly, and not interrupt when someone else is talking.
JUST FOR TODAY: I will refrain from improving anybody but myself.
JUST FOR TODAY: I will do something positive to improve my health. If I'm a smoker, I'll quit. If I'm overweight, I will eat healthfully—if only just for today. And not only that, I will get off the couch and take a brisk walk, even if it's only around the block.
JUST FOR TODAY: I will gather the courage to do what is right and take responsibility for my own actions.
May 2024 be filled with the beauty and mystery of watching our lives unfold as
we have hoped and dreamed!
Affirmation: I walk in the charmed circle of God's love.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 - WE DECREE 2024 AS A MAGNIFICENT NEW YEAR!
The following is from the Unity publication Daily Word 1957——the only thing that will be changed is the date of the year.
I DECREE MY GOOD.
On this the first day of 2024 let us make some spiritual decrees for ourselves and for the new year that lies ahead.
Let us decree right now, on this the very first day, that this year 2024 will be the best year of our lives.
Let us decree that this year of 2024 will be the healthiest, the happiest, the most peaceful, the most prosperous year of our lives.
Let us decree that in this new year we shall be free from fear. Let us decree that in this new year we shall be confident, radiant, filled with grace and power.
Let us decree that in this new year we shall have more understanding of ourselves and others, that we shall have a deeper and warmer appreciation of the goodness and worth of others.
Let us decree that in this new year we shall put spiritual ideas into practice in our lives, that we shall live in the presence of God, that we shall express the Christ in ourselves, that we shall behold the Christ in others.
"Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee." —Job 22:28

DECEMBER 25, 2023 - CHRISTMAS JOY!
The following is from the Unity publication
THE PROMISE OF CHRISTMAS Advent 1993 "In thy presence there is fulness of joy; in thy right hand are pleasures for evermore." —Psalms 16:11
Joy is a gift from God that I experience whenever I take time to notice not only the large events — like Christmas Eve — but the little things in life as well. Today I take time to see and appreciate all the pleasures in my life.
I notice the majesty of the sunset burning against an evening sky.
I enjoy the delight and wonder in a small child's face during this magical Christmas Eve.
I marvel at the beauty of the lovely red poinsettias as they draw my attention for a moment's reflection.
These are small ways in which my life is blessed with little moments of joy — the joy of living. These are the real things that make up my life, the things that give my life color and flavor. My memory is filled with these small pleasures from the past, and my life is enriched.
Today I seek out small moments of special joy. I stop and spend a little time from my busy day noticing the joy in this moment of living. I breathe in deeply, filling my lungs with the air that gives me life.
I notice the Christmas activity around me with the delight of a child and feel a childlike excitement rise within me. I close my eyes and feel the joy of life deep within me.
Today I give thanks for the little gifts that bless my life with joy.
Today I welcome Christmas with a joyful heart.
#Christmas Joy #Unity #unityjoyoflife.org #Psalms 16:11
DECEMBER 20, 2023 - CHRISTMAS LOVE!
The following is from the Unity publication
THE PROMISE OF CHRISTMAS
Advent 1993
"For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed,but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you." —Isaiah 54:10
This beautiful promise from God was told to the people of Israel by the prophet Isaiah. It was told to them at a time when they were in great need of reassurance. How comforting to know that these words are still true today.
God's promise reminds me that in spite of all the changing conditions in my life, the steadfast love of God is available to support me. Even in those times of challenge, those times when I feel most alone or overwhelmed, I let this promise fill my heart and remind me that I am not alone. God's steadfast love is always there to sustain me.
This promise reminds me that God has compassion for me — a compassion that understands and cares for me in every moment and situation in my life. It reminds me of God's covenant of peace — the peace that God is ever seeking to bring forth in my life.
Today I remember that this promise comes from a loving God who understands me, who seeks to bring peace to me and through me.
Today I remember that whatever my challenge, the steadfast love of God sustains me.

NOVEMBER 26, 2023 - HOPE!
The following selection is from the Unity publication THE PROMISE OF CHRISTMAS
Advent 1993
"Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!…For with God nothing will be impossible."
—Luke 1:28, 37
When the angel Gabriel announced the coming wondrous birth of Jesus to Mary, he said: "Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!" Before departing the angel dispelled Mary's doubts and fear by reminding her, "For with God nothing will be impossible"
These same words apply to me today. The presence and power of God are with me right, right now. Let my heart be lifted up into hope, into great expectancy of new good, for "with God nothing will be impossible."
The birth of Jesus Christ is surrounded with mystery and wonder. When I was a child, I probably celebrated Christ's birth, Christmas, filled with mystery, wonder, and hopeful anticipation.
As an adult, however, I may find it difficult to regain this spirit of hope and gladness. Days may seem too short. Obligations can appear overwhelming. I may be experiencing intense feelings of sadness, helplessness, or hopelessness during this
holiday season.
I know, however, that I can be lifted up and out of any disappoint-ment or difficultly. The everywhere-present, eternal love of God is both unlimited and fully available to me right now. I am never separate from God.
Christmas serves as a reminder to turn my attention to God. The moment I give my attention to the presence and power of Spirit within me and my world, I begin to participate in its quickening, healing, uplifting activity.
I AM IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD, AND NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!
NOVEMBER 12, 2023 - GOD IS MY SUPPLY!
The following piece comes from a Daily Word dated March 6, 1956
GOD IN THE MIDST OF ME IS THE INEXHAUSTIBLE SOURCE OF MY SUPPLY.
There is nothing I need that God in the midst of me cannot supply. His presence within me is an inexhaustible storehouse of spiritual wealth, sufficient to keep my life filled to overflowing with the blessings necessary for a happy, peace-filled existence.
For every demand, God's presence within me is the supply. For every need that arises, His presence within me inspires me with the perfect ideas to fill the need.
Even as parents lovingly provide for their children so does my indwelling Lord most lovingly provide for me. I refuse to be intimidated by appearances of lack. Even though the bank account seems low, the pocketbook seems empty, the future seems insecure, I keep faith in His prospering love, and I trust in Him momently to supply my every need.
God in the midst of me is the inexhaustible source of my supply.
"Wealth and riches are in his house; And his righteousness endures for ever." —Psalms 112:3

OCTOBER 29,2023 - LET PRAYER BE YOUR SECOND NATURE!
"There is no condition that is beyond God's power to heal; no disease is resistant to God's healing life."---Connie Fillmore
"I will restore health to thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord. —Jeremiah 30:17
Healing is always possible, no matter how dire the situation is, there is always an answer. Wholeness is our true natural state of being; everything in us works towards life and wholeness.
No matter what the condition is of mind, body or what the diagnosis may be, it can be healed. The source of life dwells within us. There is no limitation or delay, WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! We must focus on the Truth that God is mighty in the midst of us to heal, renew, revitalize, regenerate and make whole.
God's will for us is life and perfect health, everything in us moves toward that end. Even when appearances tell us otherwise, we must be secure in knowing that God's healing power is doing a mighty work, God is equal to the healing of every disease. We are channels through which God's healing power is active, everything in us works towards life and wholeness.
"I send my healing word to the depths of my being and every atom of my body accepts it and responds. I am cleansed, purified, and made new. The atoms of my body shout for joy. This I decree in the name of Jesus Christ." —May Rowland

SEPTEMBER 10,2023 - TIME DOES NOT LIMIT ME!
I abide in the consciousness that time does not limit me. I know that the blessings of God come to me here and now.
There are those who think that they are limited by time. They believe that they need to wait until some future day for their good. They give a great deal of thought to developing processes, thinking that their good must pass through several stages of development before it can appear.
The student of Truth gives little consideration to time. He gives his whole attention to thought. He knows that through right thinking his good is brought into manifestation and visibility. He realizes that in Spirit there is no time or no delay.
Do not always think of yourself as growing in grace, but give some thought to the truth that right now you are what you want to be. The student of Truth must come to the realization that right now he is what he hoped to become. He needs to affirm, "God is, and I am. Right now I am that which I have sought to be," His demonstration of health and plenty must be considered as made now, and not as in a slow process of being made.
"Redeeming the time." —Eph. 5:16

SEPTEMBER 3,2023 LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH!
"Live in harmony with one another." - Romans 12:16
"Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me." —Jill and Sy Miller
Every Sunday through out the world the service at a Unity Church ends with, "Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me." The song is a gentle reminder that before we can have world peace, we must have peace in our individual minds and hearts, in our homes, within our families, with our friends, our next door neighbors, our communities, with those that may not hold the same views that we may have. Before world peace…"Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me!"
As I release any and all feelings of resentment, blame or anger, the doors of love, understanding and harmony open wide and there is established a feeling of serenity and well-being that passes all understanding.
Love shows the way, I lift my vision and see a world bathed in love, understanding, harmony and friendship. "Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me."

AUGUST 28,2023 - ORDER AND HARMONY PREVAIL!
DAILY WORD
November 28, 1988
I joyously consecrate and dedicate myself to the will and the work of Jesus Christ.
In Silent Unity, we begin our workweek with the above affirmation as a blessing for the work ahead of us. More than once during the week, this affirmation is recalled and used as we serve the many people turning to Silent Unity for prayer help.
What is before you this day? Join Silent Unity in consecrating yourself and your tasks to the will and the work of Jesus Christ. You will find yourself working with greater ease and efficiency.
As we join together in consecrating and dedicating ourselves to the will and the work of Jesus Christ, harmony and order prevail. Every home, business, and endeavor reflects the power of these words of truth, the power of Jesus Christ. An added benefit is that we feel one with people the world over who are praying this prayer today.
"In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to be proud of my work." —Romans 15:17

August 20, 2023 - DIVINE ORDER!
"Let all things be done decently and in order."—1 Corinthians 14:40
"When things look confused and as if all is going wrong, you need only say divine order, and you will immediately begin to reverse the flow of things."—Charles Roth
If you are concerned about something or someone in your life, affirm, "Divine Order is now established in my life, body, finances and all of my affairs", and then watch the miraculous changes take place.
We can overcome many of life's challenges by affirming,"Divine Order". Our minds become more alert; our bodies more vital and we feel free from any inharmony or weakness. All fear dissipates as we become aware that there is a divine hand guiding the universe and each of us.
Divine Order rules! God is in Charge! All is well!

July 30, 2023 - IT IS GOD’S GOOD PLEASURE TO GIVE YOU THE KINGDOM!
"Fear not little flock; for it is the Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." —Luke 12:32
"Poverty or prosperity, it all depends on you. All that the Father has is yours, but you alone are responsible for the relationship of the Father's good to your life." —Charles Fillmore
It is the Father's good pleasure to give me the kingdom and it is my good pleasure to receive it! God is the Source of my supply and my support. I came into this world financed by God and His abundant good flows to me and through me from every direction.
I now open the door of my mind to God's boundless supply no matter how limited my finances may appear to be. I make a habit of thinking about and affirming, "Fear not, it is the Father's good pleasure to give me the kingdom and it is my good pleasure to receive it."
I begin to see abundance and experience abundance as I go through my daily life. As I do so new ideas of prosperity fill my mind and heart. Yes, I am a beloved child of God. Yes, I am heir to His limitless riches!
God is my Source, my supply and my support, I have nothing to fear. God is opening ways to my prosperity and good flows to me and through me from every direction. I am truly blessed!
July 17, 2023 - ANGELS WATCHING OVER ME!
"Angels watching over me…" —Anonymous
"For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways." —Psalm 91:11
I know that God's angels are watch over me and I have nothing to fear. Wherever I go I know that God is with me.
When my thoughts and emotions become over- whelming, I stop and remember, God's angels are watching over me.
If I become concerned about my loved ones, those I hold near and dear to my heart, I affirm for them, "God's angels are watching over you, there is nothing for me to fear and there is nothing for you to fear."
We are never out of God's loving sight or out of His protective care. God's angels are not only watching over me, and my loved ones, God is watching over our beautiful country and the whole, wide world.
At times through out the day I stop, listen and remember, God has given His angels charge over me, I am not alone, I need not fear, for His angels are with my every
step, guiding and directing my way.
.
I am safe —— His angels are with me and those I hold near and dear to my heart!

July 2, 2023 - LET THERE BE LIGHT!
From the Unity Daily Word Saturday, September 3, 1927
The light of Truth dawns upon my consciousness and I am immersed in the glory of the Lord.
When Truth dawns upon the consciousness it comes in a way similar to the rising of the sun on the horizon. Just as the sun floods the east with its rays of light, so does Truth shed its glory upon the consciousness, dispelling all darkness.
The light of Truth dispels every belief in ignorance, fear, and disease. The glory of the Lord dissipates every belief based upon a darkened consciousness. In the presence of this powerful spiritual light and all pervading truth, the false belief or lie about man cannot exit.
Truth typifies light. When one perceives Truth he is lifted out of darkness. When he understands some- thing he is no longer in the dark about it.
The glory of the Lord is shed upon the one whose consciousness is lifted to perceive spiritual things. This glory is like sunshine. On the spiritual plane the glory of the Lord sends its beams into the consciousness of man as if a powerful sun or searchlight were turned upon it.
Immersed in this glory man has around him a great covering of light. He is infolded in it, secure from the darkness of mortal thought.
"Jehovah will rise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee." —Isaiah 60:2
June 25, 2023 - MIRACLE FOLLOWS MIRACLE!
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! ….Do not be anxious about anything…"—Philippians 4:4
"Miracle shall follow miracle, and wonders shall never cease." —Florence Scovel Shinn
As we progress along this path of healing and change I invite you to look with wonder at all that has transpired, all that we have learned, all that we have to be grateful
for. Today let us reflect upon the many blessings that have come into our lives. Let us count our blessings one by one and be reminded that a thankful heart produces a
happy person.
Let us give thanks to God for every good thing and let a feeling of sincere gratitude wash over us, carrying away any and all negative self defeating ideas or beliefs that may be lingering in our consciousness.
We can change what needs to be changed and are totally prepared to let go of what no longer serves a positive purpose in our lives.
With power and authority we prepare for our greater good, knowing that there is nothing to fear or to be anxious about. It is said that miracles occur in a twinkling of an eye, therefore, we look with wonder at that which is before us and expect miracle to follow miracle and wonders to never cease. Rejoice in the Lord always!

June 18, 2023 - THE EVERLASTING ARMS OF GOD!
"The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms." —Deuteronomy 33:27
"When the way seems dark pray for spiritual illumination and guidance…"
—Myrtle Fillmore
At times like this when we are going through stressful challenges it is good to affirm a positive Truth statement.When the world seems to be in chaos a simple positive affirmation serves us well, such as, "I am safe and secure for underneath are the everlasting arms of God."
As we quite our minds with that affirmation and relax our bodies, we feel God's power and become conscious of the strong support that is ours. We know that we need not be fearful or concerned, because we are in God's protective care and so are those we hold near and dear to our hearts.
The more we practice turning to God and trusting in His protective presence the quicker fear, doubt and worry dissipate.
I am safe and secure for underneath are the everlasting arms of God.
That affirmation has a calming wonderful effect that is filled with power, vitality, energy and life, it brings a sense of peace, serenity and new strength. Our loved ones and we are safe and secure for underneath are the everlasting arms of God.

June 11, 2023 - WALK IN THE LIGHT!
"God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." —1 John 1:5
"Light doesn't have to struggle with darkness to overcome it; it has only to shine." —Robert Sikking
I walk in God's light and my way is made clear. The presence of God illumines my way, the shadows of doubt, worry and fear are gone forever.
I keep in constant conscious contact with that mighty power for good that dwells within me. God is my help in every time of need, I look to Him at all times, He is my constant companion. He goes before me and clears the way for health, wealth, happiness and success.
My faith is strong! Every waking hour I am assured of His protective presence, I need never walk in darkness. Every sleeping hour is filled with His angels watching over me, assuring my rest and restorative sleep.
I walk in God's Light and my days are filled with beautiful blessings!
"Light doesn't have to struggle with darkness to overcome it; it only has to shine."

June 4, 2023 -NEW DOORS ARE OPENING!
"Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare…" —Isaiah 42:9
"You can change your life by changing the way you think and feel." —Martha Smock
Today a new door is opening to my greater and more abundant good! As I step through this new door of opportunity I leave yesterday behind.
If I have had fears of any kind, such as ill-health, lack or limitation in any area of my life, I now shut those doors behind me. I say to those doors of doubt and fear, "You have come to pass, not to stay!' With that understanding I step through the door of today with a new spirit, a new heart and a new mind.
Today new doors of opportunity are open to me. I realize that life is filled with pure, positive potential awaiting my recognition and acceptance. I began to see those latent powers and energies that dwell within come to view.
I call upon Divine Intelligence and Wisdom to guide me in this new way of living. I trust, I walk with confidence, I am uplifted in Spirit and action.
"Behold, the former things are come to pass and new things I declare…" —Isaiah 42:9

MAY 29, 2023 - ALL THINGS ARE WORKING TOGETHER FOR OUR GREATER GOOD!
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him…."—Romans 8:28
"Man makes mistakes. God will use it all for good." —Terrill Mann
All things work together for our greater good! All of us have struggled through experiences and later realized that those challenges have brought greater good onto our lives.
Through those challenges we have learned greater life lessons, maybe knowledge about ourselves or how to make wiser decisions.
Probably the most important thing for us to remember is that nothing, absolutely nothing, can ever separate us from the love of God.
All things work together for our greater good! As we move forward in confidence and assurance, we meet every moment of every day with an attitude of serenity and gratitude.
We are now open and receptive to God's goodness and receive His bountiful blessings with a joyous heart and mind.
No matter what the appearances may be ——We know all things are working out for our greater good and all is well.
To them that love God, all things work together for good!
MAY 21, 2023 - THE PURE WHITE LIGHT OF THE CHRIST!
"…neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither present nor the future, nor any powers, neither depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God…"—Romans 8:38, 39
"I surround myself safely around with the pure, White Light of the Christ, into which nothing negative can penetrate and out of which only good can come." ---Unity affirmation
"I surround myself safely around with the pure White Light of the Christ….." is an old Unity affirmation that has helped people throughout the years free their minds and hearts of fear, doubt and anxiety. It has also given people courage and strength to meet all experiences that they may encounter throughout the day.
Affirming this powerful affirmation daily might be a good habit to form as it is a magnificent reminder that we are always in God's loving, protective presence and we have nothing to fear, be anxious about or concerned of.
We can start the day by affirming that we are always loved, cared for, protected, guided and directed through every moment of the day. Whether we are going to work, traveling, vacationing, going to school, visiting friends, attending a meeting, grocery shopping, doing house hold chores, we can rest assured that, we are surrounded by the pure White Light of the Christ, into which nothing negative can penetrate and out of which only good can come!
As we affirm that beautiful Truth, a sense of peace is established and we move through the day confident that God has gone before us making safe, smooth and successful our way.
How grateful we are for this Truth!

MAY 14, 2023 - HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
Today's lesson is from a Unity 1956 "Daily Word"
THE HOLY SPIRIT LOVES AND CARES FOR ME AND ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE HUMAN FAMILY
Today let us think about the Holy Spirit as the whole Spirit of God in action. God is not only Father, but Mother. God is not only Creator, but loving Spirit.
Charles Fillmore says, "Holy Spirit is the love of Jehovah taking care of the human family, and love is always feminine. Love is the great harmonizer and healer, and whoever calls upon God as Holy Spirit for healing is calling upon the divine love."
Today, which is set aside as Mother's Day, let us give thanks for the loving Spirit of God which finds expression through the mothers of the human race. Let us give thanks that the Holy Spirit loves and cares for the human family; let us give thanks for the mothering Spirit that surrounds us and enfolds us all. Let us call upon the divine love to come forth in us, to be poured forth through us as comfort, forgiveness, compassion, and infinite understanding.
"As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you…" Isaiah 66:13

MAY 7, 2023 - MY WORDS ARE CREATIVE!
"You shall decree a thing, and it shall be established unto you." ——Job 22:28
"Words——The vehicles through which ideas make themselves manifest." ——Charles Fillmore
I am impeccable with my words. I know and understand the power of the words I speak. I know that my words are creative and set into motion a tremendous power that literally shape my life and affairs.
The words that I speak are powerful instruments that shape my world, therefore, today I choose to speak only words that empower, uplift and encourage.
Today, I choose to eliminate the use of words that speak of fear, lack, victimhood, limitation, unhappiness, failure, bitterness or anger.
Today, I am impeccable with the words I speak. I speak words that enhance my life and the lives of others. The words I speak create my life experiences, so I speak with power and authority, words of kindness, gratitude, wisdom, thanksgiving, joy, love, happiness, peace, good will, health, wholeness, success and prosperity.
I am impeccable with the words I speak today and am ever aware of God' s goodness in my life. I am blessed! "You shall decree a thing, and it shall be established unto you."

APRIL 23, 2023- MY GREATER GOOD IS HERE FOR ME NOW!
The following is from a Saturday, July 29, 1933 Daily Word.
I abide in the consciousness that time does not limit me. I know that the blessings of God come to me here and now.
There are those who think that they are limited by time. They believe that they need to wait until some future day for their good. They give a great deal of thought to developing processes, thinking that their good must pass through several stages of development before it can appear.
The student of Truth gives little consideration to time. He gives his whole attention to thought. He knows that through right thinking his good is brought into manifestation and visibility. He realizes that in Spirit there is no time and no delay.
Do not always think of yourself as growing in grace, but give some thought to the truth that right now you are what you want to be . The student of Truth must come the realization that right now he is what he has hoped to become. He needs to affirm, "God is, and I am. Right now I am that which I have sought to be." His demonstration of health and plenty must be considered as made now, and not as in slow process of being made.
Redeeming the time.——Eph. 5:16

APRIL 16, 2023- DIVINE ORDER!
"..and to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God." —Psalm 50:23
"All need is already fulfilled; all is already in divine order and perfect balance. You need only to recognize it." —Leddy Hammock
God created the universe and made us in His own image and likeness. Divine order reigns; therefore, divine order and harmony rule and are established in our minds, hearts, bodies and affairs.
It is said that, "Order is heavens first law." If we need greater peace and harmony, calling upon "Divine Order" quickens the process and brings peace to our lives.
When things look confusing and overwhelming, as if they are going all wrong, we need simply remember heaven's first law and affirm with power and authority, "Divine Order". Upon making that demand upon the universe, we will immediately begin to reverse the flow of things.
As we hold firmly to faith in "Divine Order" and the power of God working in our lives, we can bring forth right and perfect answers, where before no solution seemed possible.
"Divine Order" reigns and all is well!

Listen, My Beloved,
Things you may not understand are going to happen in life, and you may feel I have deserted you and those you love so dearly.
Be assured that no matter what happens, no matter how tragic circumstances may seem, I am always present.
My ways may not be evident to you, but I have created you and I have a plan for each one.
Do not give up trying to see what My blessing for you may be. Do not give up trying to understand. In the midst of your confusion, continue to seek Me and to seek greater understanding. You will find it, but you will find much more—you will find Me.

I understand your questions.
When you think that you have lost all hope, when you cannot find enough faith to carry on, I am here for you. I will carry you over the rough spots of life. I will lead you through the darkness to the light. I will
show you the way through words of misunderstanding to acts of love and kindness and peace and understanding.

Listen, My Beloved,
"Be still and know that I am God."
Yes, be still. It is what I ask of you.
Be still and know that I am God. Let your thoughts carry you to the place and under-
standing within you— the place of silence.
Here in the silence I meet with you. Although I am always with you, it is in the silence that we commune with each other.
It is in the silence that I comfort you and give you the peace you need.
It is in the silence that I fill you with the strength you need to carry on.
It is in the silence that you truly know I am God.
Yes, Beloved, be still.

Listen, My Beloved,
You are precious to Me, so precious that I have created you in My image and after My likeness. I have placed within you all that I am.
Within you is all love, all joy, all peace, all wisdom. I know that it is sometimes difficult for you to see these things within yourself. I know that sometimes you feel you have
nothing with which to face the challenges of the day.
But remember, Beloved, you have Me. You have My presence to fill your lonely moments, to calm your fears, to feed your faith.
You have Me. You are never alone.

February 19, 2023- CLAIM YOUR GREATER GOOD!
“If they obey and serve him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity, and their years in contentment.”
—Job 36:11
“While it is true that God Power is always with us, it is not true that we have always realized Its presence. To realize this is to be able to make conscious use of It, to direct It, for ourselves and for others.” —Ernest Holmes
Become very familiar with the idea that there’s good for you in the universe and you are free to use it. There is a force greater than ourselves and we are not separate from It. Jesus knew this when He said, “The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwell in Me does the works…” —John 14:10, and “…the one who believes in me will also do what I'm doing. He will do even greater things than these…"—John 14:12
Think on these things… What good do you want to express? What good do you want to experience in your life? There is no challenge or situation that we cannot surrender to the Father within. And since we know the truth that nothing is impossible to God and that He has blessed us with ALL He has to give and that ALL is good, we can experience life in a most magnificent way. How exciting is that!
Affirm: The Father and I are one and I expect to experience all His good in my life now!

February 6, 2023- THE DIVINE LAW OF GOOD!
“…the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold…” ---Psalms 84:11
“The Law of Good governs me solely, and I place my life and affairs under the influence of God’s constant love, peace, prosperity, and health.”
—Foundations of Unity, Volume 1
Most of us are familiar with laws, many of which we use in our daily lives without giving much thought, like traffic lights. We have the law of mathematics, which helps us measures and calculate; the law of nature; the law of gravity; the law of averages,
even the law of the jungle.
However, there is only one supreme law that is exact, constant,unfailing, unchangeable, and unlimited. The Supreme Law that is always at work in our lives is the LAW OF GOOD!
The Law of Good sets us free from any belief that we are dominated by some presence or power other than God the good Omnipotent. When we live our lives from this point of understanding, nothing will ever be the same.
I am divinely irresistible to my greater good, for God has bestowed favor and honor upon me and has not withheld any blessing!

"You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.” —Isaiah 62:3-4
“The more you know about God the healthier you will be, and of course the healthier you are the happier, more beautiful and better you will be in every way.” —Charles Fillmore
I am God’s representative, I spread light, love, wisdom, power, peace, beauty and joy wherever I go.
To be God’s representative is my purpose, my mission is to “brighten the area” where I am; to add a little beauty, light and joy to my surroundings. To impart a bit of loving kindness and wisdom to everything I touch. To leave everything a little better, lovelier than I met it.
I pray, Father, Mother, God, let me be a channel through which your life, love, wisdom, power, peace, beauty and joy may shine forth and be a blessing. Let me speak words that uplift and encourage. Guide me in all my interactions with others, allow me to be gracious and kind.
Where there is discord, let me bring peace and harmony: where there is fear, let me help assure God’s protective presence and inspire trust and courage; where there is loneliness, let me bring love and the reassurance that God loves and cares for us always.
Wherever I may be let me bring a blessing to every situation and leave knowing that I have added a little beauty, light and joy!

January 22, 2023-TEACH ME YOUR WAY LORD!
“Teach me the way Lord, that I will live by your truth.”
—Ps. 86:11
“Take God into partnership with you and you will be sure to demonstrate the good that you need in your life. Know that the Infinite Mind of God is with you always, and you will attain great success in all that you do.”
—Foster McClellan
The light of God shines brightly on my path and my way is made safe, successful, joyous, serene and sure.
Sometimes, we may feel discouraged or concerned about conditions in our lives. At these times it is wise to turn within and remember that there is a power greater than we are that is equal to any challenge confronting us.
God is with us, there are no external conditions that can disturb the calm peace of our souls.Affirming this Truth establishes a serenity and confidence which gives us perfect poise and ease of actions.
God is Good! God is Love! God is All, both invisible and visible. There are no obstacles on on our path. With God as our partner in life we walk tall knowing our way is made safe, successful, serene, joyous, bright and sure.

January 15, 2023-PEACE IS ESTABLISHED WITHIN ME!
The following meditation was written by the early teacher of Truth, Georgiana Tree West.
Heavenly Father, I feel Thy presence within me and all around me, and I rest in the peace of Thy presence. Thou art omnipresent good; the one mind, the one life, the one law, all that eternally is.
Thy life is a wellspring of health and strength within me. Thy love is the law of my life, establishing me in peace and harmony. Thy wisdom illumines my mind and makes plain my way. Through Thy power I speak Thy word of good and so create my good.
I am like unto Thee because Thou hast given me of Thy Spirit.
I have faith in Thy Spirit in all of humankind . I have faith that Thy Spirit in world leaders makes them instruments of Thy thought and Thy activity, working for the good of all humanity. I have faith that through Thy Spirit in humankind everywhere, permanent peace is now being established in the name and through the power of Jesus Christ.
I rest now in this understanding, feeling the peace of Thy presence within me and all around me.
January 8, 2023- WORRY? NO WAY!
The following prayer treatment is by Reverend Raymond Charles Barker
"I am going to delete and destroy my pattern of worry out of my consciousness. I know that my mind is the center of divine operation. I know that the intelligence of this universe, which is God, created me to be in this universe a thinking, feeling, vital being. The intelligence which created me, sustains me, watches over me, takes care of me. I am aware that the mind of God is in action in me and through me as I direct my attention to it. The pattern of worry, the pattern of negation, I now annihilate.The mind of God now operating in my thoughts has destroyed this negative. It is finished, and in its place is a divine positive. I accept this universe as it really is. This universe is a wonderful place.”
Everything is always working out for me in magical ways.Miracle follows miracle and wonders never cease! I am totally blessed!

January 1, 2023- HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
The following is from the Daily Word January 1, 1956
“One thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind…I press toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” —Phil 3:13
The first day of a new year is a good time to reflect on our lives, to consider our growth and progress, and to set new goals for ourselves.
Because growth is the law of life, we are not the same person that we were a year ago, we are not at the same place of consciousness. If we have formed the habit of writing out New Years resolutions and saving them from year to year, we see as we look back on last year’s resolutions how we have progressed. We see, too, how our aims and desires change, we see how we have grown in thought and under-standing. And we are filled we new goals, new resolutions, new desires.
But there is one goal, one resolution that never changes, it is the goal that God has set in our hearts, it is the goal that Paul spoke of when he said, “One thing I do…..I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Dear God,
I live in gratitude. What precious gifts You have given me—the birth of Jesus, who expressed the Christ spirit within himself, and the birth of the same Christ spirit within me. Through these, You have given the greatest gift of all, the gift of Yourself.
Through You, I experience true joy, peace, love and fulfillment.
I feel Your radiate life flowing through my body. As I express this oneness, I feel stronger and more vitally alive. Every function of my body works perfectly and reflects divine life, Your gift to me.
God, You are the infinite and eternal source of all being. From You comes everything I need. As I focus on Your divine presence, I see and experience your goodness.
Thank You, God.

Dear God,
I know that peace is possible in every circumstance.
Through Your spirit, I can love those who seem to be unloveable, understand what looks to be unexplainable and reach the seeming unattainable.
Your spirit expresses through me as peace and love,faith and hope. I recognize that negative thoughts and feelings can stay with me only as long as I give them my attention. I choose to release any negativity and allow Your peace to direct my thoughts and feelings.
Through my oneness with You, possibilities become more than ideas I have merely dreamed about—they become probabilities. With time and concentration on my part, those probabilities become reality.
Peace glows within me at all times and under all circumstances.
“Keep on doing the things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.”—Philippians 4:9

You never ask that I try to explain, justify or apologize for anything I have done or not done. You ask only that I leave the old, limited ways behind and step out in faith into new and better ways.
Thank You for always being with me, for guiding me, supporting me and caring for me. I am safe and secure in Your presence.
“A new heart I will give you.”——Ezekiel 36:26

November 14, 2022 -AGE IS JUST A NUMBER!
“And now here I am today, eighty-five years old, and I am still as strong today as I was on the day Moses sent me (forty years old); my strength now is as my strength was then.” (Joshua 14:10-11)
“Youth is a matter of attitude, not of calendar years.” (Robert Updegraff)

The Father’s good pleasure is to bless me with life, pure, vibrant, magnificent life. I recognize this as my birthright. I let go of fear and anxiety of aging. I do not buy into the collective unconsciousness thoughts and beliefs that a certain number of years automatically makes me old.
God gave me life, age is just a number and really none of my business. I am always at one with the ageless power of God. Youth and well-being is a natural state of mind. Therefore, I keep my focus on the wonder of Life and all of it’s beauty, it’s awesome adventures and breathtaking opportunities!

This is one of my favorite Daily Words and it reminds me how grateful I am for these beautiful teachings.
INTENTIONS
Sunday October 30, 2016
Unity author H. Emilie Cady wrote in LESSONS IN TRUTH:
“Desire in the heart is always God tapping at the door of your consciousness ….the thing you desire is not only for you, but has already been started toward you out of the
heart of God.
I recognize my intentions are more than wishful thinking.They are part of my purpose. Some may be long-term goals, requiring years of study, focus, and actions. My daily intentions may include helping a friend who is ex-periencing a serious challenge. Following this call to serve, I know I will be be divinely supported with the right words to say and actions to take. I pursue my heartfelt intentions, for they are callings from Spirit to do more and
be more.
Jesus looked at them and said, “For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; for God all things are possible.” —Mark 10:27

OCTOBER 24, 2022 - THE BATTLE IS NOT YOUR--- BUT GODS!
“Do not be afraid or discouraged…..For the battle is not yours, but God’s.” (2 Chronicles 20:15)
“Fear comes from the belief that there is an external power….from the belief that there could be some condition, circumstance, or threat that has power to harm us or to keep us from our good.” (Donald Curtis)
“I rise out of the reach of the things that frightened me.” (Emma Curtis Hopkins)
I am not fearful or anxious about any situation. I quickly turn within and trust the Spirit of God within me to handleand adjust everything. Nothing is too big or complicated for the Spirit of God within me. I remind myself that God is bigger and stronger than anything that may cross my path.
God is within me: God is my help in every time of need, God supplies my every desire, dissolves all inharmony, uplifts me and calms my heart. God is my health, I cannot be sick. God is my supply, my cup runneth over. God is my wisdom, I have a bright, intelligent, genius mind.
I am not fearful or anxious about any situation, person or condition. I totally trust the Spirit of God within me to care for me, guide, direct, and protect me. God knows the perfect answer to every situation and divine right action takes place.
“Do not be afraid or discouraged……For the battle is not yours, but God’s.” (2 Chronicles 20:15)

OCTOBER 17, 2022 - JESUS CHRIST HEALS!
The same Spirit that healed through Jesus is present in the midst of us today. Our entire earth is immersed in the healing spirit of the Christ, and in His all-infolding love we
live and move and have our being.
The same Spirit that healed through Jesus is present as healing life throughout every cell of our body temples. The very air we inhale is charged with vitalizing strength.
The healing Spirit of Christ is everywhere evenly present, and as we keep ourselves consciously in tune with Him the healing spirit of His love inspires our souls and renews our bodies.
The same Spirit that healed through Jesus is now mightily at work in every person, thing and condition throughout this earth. To keep ever aware of this healing presence is to strengthen the Jesus Christ consciousness of life. In His all-infolding love, “---we live, and move, and have our being.”
To every living soul we joyously proclaim, “In the name of Jesus Christ be thou made whole.”
“Jesus Christ health thee; arise, and make thy bed.” —Acts 9:34

OCTOBER 2, 2022 - THANK YOU GOD!!
“…Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you heard me. I know that you always hear me…” (John 11:41)
“Praise and thanksgiving keep open the channels through which God’s good flows to us freely and bountifully.” (Martha Smock)
Thank you, Father, for perfect health and vitality of body. Thank you, Father, for a bright, alert, peaceful mind. Thank you, Father, for a compassionate, understanding heart. Thank you, Father, for fulfilling our every need. Thank you, Father, for hearing and answering our prayers.
Thankfulness is a beautiful way of keeping the channels of God’s good flowing to us freely and bountifully. Thankfulness is a
healer, a multiplier of the good, and a dissolver of the negative.
Thankfulness lifts, encourages, and acknowledges God as the source of our good. It opens our eyes that we may see that this good has already been bestowed upon us in a most abundant manner.
We don't have to wait to give thanks until every prayer is answered or until things are perfect. It is wise to praise and give thanks right where we are, in the present set of circumstances or conditions in which we find ourselves.
Thankfulness quickens the spiritual power that produces growth, increase, and fulfillment. Give thanks in advance and watch the blessings multiply!
SEPTEMBER 25, 2022 - GOD HAS A PLAN FOR MY LIFE !
“…I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10)
“…the kingdom is both that which we find within ourselves … and also that which is searching for us…..(John A. Sanford)
I believe that each of us enters this life experience with definite talents, gifts, qualities and characteristics to bless others and ourselves. I believe that each of us is important,our potential is great, and the possibilities are unlimited.
So, start to acknowledge the greatness that lies within you, remembering that you are a beloved child of God and that nothing is impossible to God. God has plans for you that are beyond your wildest dreams. They are plans for good, for hope, and a bright future. Every moment of everyday God’s entire universe is making you an irresistible offer, and what is that offer? To make your life joyous, happy, and fulfilled!
That good that you desire to experience is awaiting your acceptance. Say YES!
Affirm: God has a plan for my life; that's all I need to know
SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 - SHAKE THE DUST FROM YOUR FEET!
SHAKE THE DUST FROM YOUR FEET!
“And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.” (Matthew 10:14)
“What you think of me is none of my business “ (Terry Cole Whitaker)
All of us have experienced hurt feelings at some time or another. When our feelings get hurt, we begin to feel unaccepted and unloved.
Hurt feelings come from our humanity where “it is natural” to feel hurt. Hurt feelings confine us to a small world of human reaction. When we allow ourselves to be disturbed or upset because of what another person has said or done, we are making the decision to let someone else control our thoughts and emotions.
So how do we handle hurt feelings? Accept responsibility for our part, and lift ourselves to a higher level of consciousness knowing that God is in charge. Then as we “shake the dust from our feet,” we must believe that the situation in now God’s to work out!

SEPTEMBER 11, 2022 - MY LOVED ONES ARE IN GOD’S PROTECTIVE CARE!
MY LOVED ONES ARE IN GOD’S PROTECTIVE CARE!
“In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and breathe of all mankind.” (Job 12:10)
“If we keep close to our own inner spiritual center, God will guide us as to what help we need to render.” (Vera Dawson Tait)
As we pray for those we hold near and dear to our hearts, we often are tempted to pray for some specific outcome that will relieve our concerns and anxieties about that person’s life and affairs.
It is wise for us to know that the Spirit of God in them will lead them to their highest good. Let us see them as God sees them, wise, free, perfect in every way, just exactly the way they are. Through the Spirit of God in them, we know that they are able to triumph over every challenge, setback, fear, dis-ease, lack or disharmony.
When we are able to free others from our anxiety and concern, we not only free ourselves but also our loved one. With that freedom, comes the knowing that they are truly a child of God, cared for, loved, guided, protected, and directed by Him.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2022 - THERE IS GREATER GOOD FOR YOU
“If they obey and serve him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity, their years in contentment.” (Job 36:11)
“While it is true that God Power is always with us, it is not true that we have always realized its presence. To realize this is to be able to make conscious use of it, to direct it, for ourselves and for others.” (Ernest Holmes)
Become very familiar with the idea that there’s good for you in the universe and you are free to use it.There is a force greater than ourselves and we are not separate from It. Jesus knew this when He said, “It is not I but the Father within that doeth His works…” and when He stated, “This that I do you can do also, and even greater things.”
Think on these things….What good do you want to express? What good do you want to experience in your life? There is no challenge or situation that we cannot surrender to the Father within. And since we know the truth that nothing is impossible to God, that he has blessed us with all He has to give, and that all is good, we can experience life in a most magnificent way. How exciting is that? The Father and I are one and I expect to experience all His good in my life now!

“But remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth, …..” (Deuteronomy 8:18)
“It is your birthright to be prosperous, regardless of who you are or where you may be.” (Charles Fillmore)
Where on earth did we get the idea that life was a struggle? When did we decide that life was hard?
We can change our thought and change our lives. We can look at the world with eyes of wonder and see that, “Yes, the universe does answer every demand.” Prosperity is our birthright. We came into this world financed by God. We no longer have any fear of lack. Money is God on action; it is good and it is blessing us now!
Affirm: I no longer have any fear of lack. Prosperity is my birthright, I came into this world financed by God. Within me there are plenty of talents. God goes before me opening doors of new opportunity and supplying my every need and desire.
I love money and money loves me. Money comes to me quickly, with ease and under grace—plenty to share, spare, spend, save and enjoy. Money is God on action! I use it with wisdom and release it with joy, knowing that it returns to me increased, multiplied and overflowing!
My cup runneth over, I have more than enough to meet my every need!
It is the Lord my God who gives me the ability to produce wealth. Prosperity is my birthright. I came into this world financed by God!

JULY 24, 2022 -GOD IS MIGHTIER THAN CIRCUMSTANCES!
GOD IS MIGHTIER THAN CIRCUMSTANCES!
“….For thy law is my delight.” (Psalms 119:77)
“Only by law can anything become visible in
the universe .” (Sue Sikking)
I am mightier than circumstances! There is something within us that seems to tell us that we are mightier then any situation or experience. We are mightier than anything outside of ourselves; mightier than all belief in adversity, injustice, illness, disease, poverty, lack or failure.
The law of good is always at work in our lives. We are never under any law or belief that can limit or hinder our health, finances, or sense of well-being. Only the perfect law of good, the law of health, plenty and well-being, can govern me and all of my affairs.
I am mightier than circumstances! In this realization we rest, knowing that the law of good is lifting us higher and higher to a consciousness of oneness with God and greater and greater good. What is ours by divine right cannot be removed from us.
Affirm: The law of good is at work in my life now.
I am mightier than circumstances!
JULY 17, 2022 -GOD IS MY HELP IN EVERY TIME OF NEED!
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6)
“The best way of overcoming fear of something is to remind yourself that your God is tremendously stronger than whoever or whatever is trying to frighten you." (Charles Roth)
When conditions of this world appear to erupt and cause concern, I take time to remember that I am always surrounded by the protective presence of God and I will always be in the right place at the right time.
I remember to treat any feelings of anxiety or fear with absolute knowing that all burdens are lifted and nothing can disturb the calm peace of my soul.
God is my help in every time of need. I am strong;I am courageous; I am in perfect alignment with God. I am never separated from his loving care.
There is no reason for fear or anxiety. I am assured of God’s help in meeting life’s experiences. I know no fear!
Affirm: I am always surrounded by the protective presence of God and I will always be in the right place at the right time.

JULY 11, 2022 -SINCERITY AND HONESTY = PROSPERITY
Thank you Reverend Micheal Schoonover
Minister of Unity Way Church in Vista, Ca.
for sharing this Daily Word 3/28/1928
Prosperity: Finding God within me, I find the way to plenty.
I have no desire to be insincere or dishonest with others. I do not wish to deceive any one. I do not think of dishonesty as able to serve or to prosper me on any way. I recognize that Christ in me is now urging me to be straightforward and true in all my relations with my fellow man. In him I behold the Christ whom I would serve to the best of my ability.
Sincere in my thought of and in my dealings with others, I find that they are sincere towards me.
Sincerity and Truth sound the keynote of honesty within me. I vibrate to the harmonious chord of sincerity. There are no false values in my conscious-ness.

JULY 3, 2022 -FREEDOM
“God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power and love, and of a sound mind.”
(2 Timothy 1:7)
“Never allow yourself to believe that you are a victim of fate or hard luck; never allow yourself to feel cornered by any circumstance or condition. You are a child of God; you are free in Spirit.”
(Martha Smock)
The 4th of July commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America and has stood as a symbol of freedom for all people. We are so privileged to celebrate the wonder of this special day.
Freedom is a scared commodity which we cannot take lightly or for granted. Today, let us honor and give thanks that we are a living example of what freedom looks like. We are free right here, right now, not someday in the future, but now!
Freedom is our spiritual birthright. It is our privilege to be free. Freedom lies within all of us——“God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power and a sound mind.” There
is a mighty power that is greater than you are that is supporting you and encouraging you. It is safe to let go of limiting thoughts
and ideas.
You are not a victim of fate or hard luck. You are a child of God; you are free in Spirit!

(Isaiah 40:30-31)
We all need strength, Spiritual strength, bodily strength. We increase our strength through speaking powerful, strong words. Don't ever say that you are tired, old, rundown. Your body is your audience. It is listening. (Ernest C. Holmes)
Life! Life! Life! Vitality and strength continually flow in and through every part of my being. My vitality is inexhaustible, my strength is constant, I am one with the very life of God.
I am ageless. The indwelling life of God provides me with the strength I need to meet life in a most magnificent way.
I am alive, alert, awake and enthusiastic about life. Every particle of my being responds to this thought and I rejoice in my well-being.

GOD IS BLESSING AND PROTECTING THOSE NEAR TO ME!
"Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast."
(Psalm 139:7-10)
“The one who trust in God is always protected. He abides in peace, with the full assurance that all is well.”
(May Rowland)
I have faith that God is blessings and protecting my beloved family, and friends, those I unhesitatingly place into His care and keeping. Wherever they go, whatever they do, God’s presence is constant.
Everyday I place my beloved ones into God’s care and keeping. As I do so all worry, fear and anxiety leave my mind and heart. I am at peace. There are so many ways for God to care for us and our loved ones, I just need to trust and expect.
I relax and let them go, knowing that their highest and best good is with them as God guides, directs and protects them. They make right choices, wise decisions and are open and receptive to following
God’s divine plan for them.
I have faith that God is blessing and protecting my family, friends and those who I hold near and dear to my heart.

JUNE 6, 2022 -ALL THINGS ARE WORKING TOGETHER FOR MY GOOD!
“Fear not, I will help you.” (Isaiah 41:13)
“…to them that love God all things work together for good…” (Romans 8:28)
“I totally believe that God is absolute Good and that the will of God for me and for my life is also absolute good.” (Rebecca Clark)
Boldly and confidently I move forward knowing that the Spirit of God is within me, keeping me safe and free from all harm.
I have no fear, for I know that God is within me and I am totally equipped to meet every situation in my life. I know that the Spirit of God within me is mightier, stronger, and more powerful then any opinion, diagnosis, adversity or set back.
I have no fear, for I know God is my help in every time of need. Any and all doubts, fears, concerns and uncertainties are
dissolved quickly, with ease and under grace.
Boldly and confidently I move forward to do what needs to be done by me, thus, creating a solid base of happiness, love,
success and wondrous experiences.
“…to them that love God all things work together for good…” With God,I am totally equipped to meet every situation in
my life.
MAY 29, 2022 -THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!
“….the Truth will set you free.”
(John 8:32)
The Truth is that you are never alone,
never friendless, never unloved, for God
is with you; God loves you, God works
through you….”(Martha Smock)
I am one with the Truth that sets me free and am constantly moving into an awareness that I am a part of the abundant life of God the Good Omnipotent. That greater consciousness gives me a mind of peace. It is said that, “A mind of peace precedes all healing.”
I am an expression of God the Good Omnipotent, therefore, I must express the very life and energy of God. As I know the Truth and put it into practice daily, my consciousness expands and I increase in life, love, happiness and perfect self-expression. My oneness with God the Good Omnipotent helps me eliminate and wipe away all beliefs of lack, disease, weakness, discord or chaos, that I may have had in the past. Truth breaks all connections with the adverse things in life.
As I become more aware of the Truth that dwells within me, I know that God the Good Omnipotent watches over every detail of my life.
I am one with DivineTruth!
I am one with God the Good Omnipotent!
I am one with the goodness of all life!
MAY 23, 2022 -FOR AS HE THINKETH IN HIS HEART SO IS HE...
The following is from a September 24, 1959
“Science Of Mind” magazine.
“For as he thinketh in his heart so is he…..”
(Proverbs 23:7)
“We should learn to control our thought processes and bring them into line with Reality. Thought should tend
more and more toward an affirmative attitude of mind that is positive, stable and …….. toward a real unity with Spirit that is already complete and perfect.”
(Science of Mind, textbook, page 53)
Personal Application
I know that I am unified through the indwelling Presence with all that could bring me the fulfillment of wholeness and
success and happiness. Upon the strength of this conviction I establish the stability of my thinking. I entertain and voice only those ideas that are in agreement with the good I wish to experience. Through the constructive use of thought I am guided to do, almost effortlessly, the things which help eliminate confusion and despair. I glory in this knowledge and in the realization that in right thinking lies the fulfillment of my every right desire. And so it is!
MAY 15, 2022 - WHAT I DECIDE UPON WILL BE DONE!
“What you decide on will be done, and light will shine on your ways.” (Job 22:28)
“Words bring our dreams into expression; they enrich and expand our life. There is a miracle working power in the word.
(May Rowland)
What I decree or decide upon will be done, and light will shine on my ways!
God has given us the power and authority to name, decree or decide every experience that we may encounter in life. All to often we forget about this beautiful power of the word.It is through the word that we can literally change the circumstances of our lives.
We learn the power of the word from Isaiah 55:11. “….so is my word that it goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”
Today, I use the power of my words to bring forth good in my life and the lives of others. I speak words that enhance, enrich and have an attitude of expectancy of the good that is to be a part of my life.
I dwell on thoughts and words of health, wealth, happiness and perfect self-expression. I boldly speak words that inspire, encourage and decree the goodness God has for me.
What I decree or decide upon will be done, and light will shine on my ways! The word of God is quick and powerful and accomplishes that to where it is sent.
Praise God!
So will you add them——

MAY 8, 2022 - I AM DIVINELY PROTECTED!
“Do not be afraid or discouraged…..For the battle is not yours, but God’s.” (2 Chronicles 20:15)
“The best way of overcoming fear of something or someone is to remind yourself that your God is tremendously stronger than whoever or what-ever is trying to frighten you.” (Charles Roth)
I am not afraid or discouraged by anyone or any-thing, for I know that God is in charge and is tremendously stronger than any situation I may find myself. Nothing is too complicated or dis-stressful for the mighty power and presence of God within me to handle easily and beautifully.
The mighty power and presence of God within me can heal every disease, dissolve every fear, adjust every inharmony; however I must keep my mind ever focused on God the good Omni-potent knowing that with God all things are possible and with God my way is made clear.
I fear not, I keep my thoughts clear of all negative,self-defeating thinking. It has been said that fear breaks down positive thoughts and that negative thoughts bring negative conditions in their wake. Therefore anytime my attention wanders to a disturbing appearance, I gently draw it back to God the good Omnipotent.
I am not afraid or discouraged by anyone or
anything for I know that God is in charge and is tremendously stronger than any situation. I trust God totally and know that I am divinely protected.
MAY 1, 2022 - GOD IS HELPING YOU!
“I have loved you with an everlasting love.” Jeremiah 31:3
In “How To Let God Help You” Myrtle Fillmore says:
Don’t bother about what others may think or say
about you God loves you and approves of what you
do when you are doing your best to follow the Jesus
Christ way. The opinions of others cannot get you
down or lift you up. You have the power of God
within you to raise yourself up to where you know
you are His child, with ability along all lines, and
with freedom to do whatever you really wish to do.
God is helping you now to know that this is the
Truth. God is showing you that your best dreams are
coming true; that you are to forget the past and it's
disappointments; that you are to do everything as
though you were doing it for God. God is a great,
loving Father who is interested in you, who can and
will help you. He will supply your needs and show
you how to keep happy and healthy.
You cannot hope for peace, joy, health, abundance,
and opportunity for greater development as long
as your subconscious mind is weighted down with
old burdens. When you desire with all your heart
to live the life God has planned for His children,
you will find old beliefs and habits crumbling. Just
as Jesus met the old beliefs in sorrow and suffering
and death——and rose triumphant out of them—so
you have the light and power to meet your beliefs
in sorrow, lack, failure, and death, and to rise out
of them in the true Christ consciousness of life.

APRIL 17, 2022 - EASTER SUNDAY
EASTER SUNDAY
On Easter, this day of days, I think about the
resurrection. I remind myself that life is a
divine principle, an enduring Truth, an eternal Truth. The birth in a human body is not the beginning of life, and the departure of the divine essence that animates a body —the departure we call death—is not the end of life. Both birth and death are incidents, events in a life that is unending.
The high point of Christianity is the Resurrection. Life never dies. Life persists. Life goes on. This is what Jesus demonstrated, and today and every day He gives me life. He resurrects me into
the newness of life. I accept His resurrecting
power now!
I welcome Easter Sunday with all the joy of my soul and heart. I rejoice for all that life means to me.
On this Easter day I behold Jesus victorious and triumphant. I rejoice that the overcoming power of Christ never ceases, never diminishes.
“I am the resurrection and the life.”
Christ is the resurrecting power in the midst of me. He stirs to new life any power of mind and body that has been dormant.
This Easter I am renewed and strengthened in my belief in the resurrecting Spirit within me.

APRIL 10, 2022 - Palm Sunday Words of Praise!
Listen My Child!
If someone were to offer you a magic key that would open all the doors to your heart’s desires, how quickly you would grasp it! How gratefully you would accept it and use it to gain entrance to the castle of your dreams.
Yes, you do have such a key, and it is immediately available to you. Those who use this magic key will find their way easy and the days of their journey brightened. But this key is so commonplace that many pass it by.
The magic key of which I speak ——your magic key
to happiness, success, health, all good —is praise.
Have you ever noticed that words of praise have the
same effect on you that sunshine has on the flowers?
They actually generate energy in your body and make
you more capable than you were before.
Of all the joys known, none is greater or more powerful
and productive then praise. Use it liberally.
You have no way of knowing who far your simple words
of praise may go to help humanity. Like a ripple on the
surface of a lake they spread in ever-widening circles to
bless and to uplift.
In praising, you give, and in so doing you cannot escape the good that will return to you, for the law is: give and you will receive.

APRIL 3, 2022 - EVERY EXPERIENCE IS A TEACHER!
Listen My Child!
Sometimes you may ask yourself, “What do I have to learn
from this experience?”
Yes, I know you have had experiences to meet that
at first seemed difficult. But have not these experiences
proved to be instruments of growth? Through them you
have discovered new strength in yourself.
Do you not realize that unless you have experiences that
make you search deeper and deeper for understanding,
reach higher and higher for light, you do not fully develop
your spiritual nature.
With each new experience you realize new powers and
capabilities. You become aware of a faith greater than
you knew you possessed.
Know this; Every experience is a teacher. ou learn all
through your life —from the persons, events and circumstances
around you.

March 27, 2022 - I AM UNBOUND AND UNLIMITED!
This Weekly Word is taken from a Unity publication “Spiritual Preparation for Easter 1988”
Listen, My Child!
Many people have adopted images of themselves that are far from the true picture. Too often they judge by appearances and see only limitations.
I invite you to take a new look at yourself and remember this: When your mind is stretched by a new idea, it never returns to its former dimensions.
The Truth about you is that you are a transcendent spiritual being. The life you are living now is only a small part of your eternal life.
Your life might be compared to school.
You grow from grade to grade.
Life is eternal growth and spiritual development.
Bless the road by which you have come so far.
Now know that you are unbound and unlimited.
You are an eternal, spiritual being, living in a spiritual world, governed by spiritual ideas.
Day by day you are unfolding your spiritual self and mounting into a higher consciousness of good.
March 20, 2022 - THE GREAT LAW OF LIFE IS GIVING!
Listen, My Child!
The great law of life is giving: When you say that you are lonely and feel a need for more love and companionship in your life, you must remember that in order to have more love, you must give more love.
All real and satisfying happiness is a result of what you
contribute to life.
If you want friends, you must plant the seeds of friendship.
If you want love and companionship, you must be lovable and companionable.
Love, friendship, and new exciting and interesting experiences do not just “happen”. Every person produces them through his or her contribution to life.
The great law of giving. Every person must always take the
initiative in working with the law.
From the Unity publication, “Spiritual Preparation for Easter” 1988
March 13, 2022 - I GO TO MEET MY GOOD!
Listen My Child!
When you have a new, different, or unexpected experience facing you,one of the most reassuring and helpful approaches to it is this: I Go To Meet My Good.
No matter what is before you—— a test, an important appointment, a change of circumstance——hold the thought: I Go To Meet My Good.
This clears the mind and helps you to meet any and every situation in a positive, fearless frame of mind.
Make this a stand by and a source of strength in meeting what may seem to be “difficult situations.”
When you have let this idea of going to meet your good sink into your consciousness, you will find yourself always prepared to meet persons, situations, and experiences with poise and faith.
Also consider this: As you consciously go to meet your good, you will invariably find good waiting for you.

Listen, My Child!
Do not be concerned about the future.
Today is a gift to be lovingly accepted
and wisely used.
The book of life is written in such a way
that you can read with certainty the page of today.
The present moment deserves your full attention
and consideration; there is no reason to worry or
fret about the future.
There are, however, wise and good ways to look to
tomorrow without anxiety or fear.
Look forward with faith.
See only good in your future.
Know that all things work together for your highest
good at all times.
Know that God is taking care of everything, and watch
with attentive interest as your highest and best unfolds.
This will leave room for those wonderful surprises and
unexpected events that make your life a joyous and
educational adventure.

Weekly Word - December 18, 2021 - CHRISTMAS LOVE!
From——Unity
The promise of Christmas Advent 1995
“Now faith , hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 13:13)
Today we bring the Advent season to a close. As we make our final preparations for Christmas Day, we give thanks for this time together, knowing that we have grown in wisdom, patience, and love.
This special time has given us renewed strength of will, confidence of mind, and gentleness of heart to meet and any person or situation we may encounter with love.
As we look ahead to new opportunities for our Christ light to shine, we remember the hope that was carried by a single, brilliant star that first Christmas Day. Just like the Christmas star, our inner light can shine brightly, touching the hearts and souls of friends around the world.
It has been said that love was born on Christmas——divine love that changed the world . Let us continue to spread this love to one and all, not only at Christmas time, but each day of our lives. And as we we remain open to receiving love from others in return, know that a circle of friendship is created that never ends.
“And the greatest of these is love.” These words will be our guide in all that we say and all that do forever.
THE CHRIST LOVE SHINES THROUGH ME NOW AND ALWAYS!
Weekly Word - December 12, 2021 - I MEET EACH DAY WITH JOYFUL ANTICIPATION!
Unity The Promise Of Christmas Advent 1995
“The joy of the Lord is your strength.” (Nehemiah 8:10)
Do you ever wonder what Mary and Joseph were thinking on their pilgrimage to Betlehem? We know, of course, that they where expecting a child. This child would bring love, hope, peace, and the promise of eternal life to the entire world.
There is little doubt that the journey was exhausting for the young couple. Joseph, weary himself, was certainly concerned for Mary’s well-being. It took great faith and courage to continue on to Bethlehem knowing the birth of the child was so near.
Yet beneath their tired exteriors there was a sense of great joy. They had been chosen to be the earthly parents of Jesus! This sacred trust, given to them by God, was met with the strength to endure and overcome any obstacle.
Mary and Joseph knew they were being cared for by God. This knowledge enabled them to look at the world in a positive, joyful manner.
We have the same knowledge. God has given us the strength to surmount any challenges we may encounter.
Trusting that God is with us wherever we go, we journey through life with the courage to meet each day with joyful anticipation.
I AM STRONG AND JOYFUL, FOR I AM ONE WITH GOD!
Weekly Word - December 6, 2021 - PEACE
“Live in harmony with one another.” (Romans 12:16)
Christmas is the time when thoughts of peace, harmony, and goodwill naturally come to mind.
One of Unity’s favorite songs begins with the words, “Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.” This song is a beautiful reminder that before we can attain world peace, we must first have peace in our hearts and in our homes.
As we prepare to once again celebrate the birthday of the Prince of Peace, we fill our minds with thoughts of love. We release any feelings of resentment we may have toward others and allow the Christ love to flow through us. As we let go of any negative emotions, our hearts become serene we experience an inner peace that knows no bounds.
When all people look at each other with understanding and acceptance, differences are set aside, and the Christ love shines through for all the world to see.
If all of us take one small step toward peace, we come closer to standing united in a worldwide bond of friendship. Until the day when harmony reigns in the universe, let us send thoughts of peace to all people, knowing that by doing so, we are one step closer to the worldwide unity that is meant to be.
MY HEART IS FILLED WITH THOUGHTS OF PEACE AND I AM SERENE.
Weekly Word - November 28, 2021 -1ST SUNDAY OF ADVENT - MY LIFE IS ABOUND IN PROSPERITY!
“The Lord will make you abound in prosperity.” Deuteronomy 28:11
We begin this Advent season with the knowledge that all we need to be happy and prosperous is being provided by a loving God.
As we “abound in prosperity,” we give thanks for the countless blessings that enrich our lives. Some blessings come in the form of material objects that make life more comfortable—for example, our homes and treasured possessions. Other blessings are intangible such as the love of family and friends, the joy that permeates our souls on a beautiful day, and the glowing Christ spirit that fills our hearts always. All are precious, for they are gifts from God.
Throughout this advent season, let us take time to find new blessings in everything around us. Whether it be in the flickering flame of a simple candle or in a glorious display of colored lights, we can find the beauty and peace that are life’s gifts to us.
We will look for the good in everyone around us, knowing that each person is a unique expression of the Creator.
Love and kindness will be our gifts to those we meet, and our lives will “abound in prosperity.”
HOW PROSPEROUS I AM WHEN I GIVE AND RECEIVE THE SPECIAL BLESSINGS OF THE CHRISTMAS SEASON!
Weekly Word - November 21, 2021 - MY CUP RUNNETH OVER!
“…my cup runneth over.” (Ps 23:5)
“The kingdom is activated by our praise and thanksgiving; it responds to thankfulness.” (Foster C. McClellan)
My heart and mind are full with praise and gratitude to God the good omnipotent. I am thankful to God for my magnificent life, every moment of every day I experience the wonder of infinite blessings.
“…my cup runneth over.” “…my cup runneth over”, is a quote from the Hebrew Bible and means, “I have more than enough for my needs.” God did not create just enough, God created more than enough to meet my every need and desire.
My cup runneth over with perfect vibrant health and wholeness.
My cup runneth over with success and prosperity. My cup runneth over with loving friends and family.
My cup runneth over with divine life, love, wisdom, power, peace, beauty and joy.
My cup runneth over, I rejoice, I give praise and thanksgiving that every moment of every day God is pouring into my mind, heart, body, soul and affairs new life, love, light, power,peace,beauty and joy.
My cup runneth over and I give thanks that God’s, “more than enough”, law is out picturing in my life. My life is rich in substance and experience, it is beautiful, purposeful, and fulfilling.
My cup runneth over; with deep gratitude and appreciation, I say,THANK YOU GOD!
MY CUP RUNNETH OVER!
HAVE A BEAUTIFUL THANKSGIVING!
Weekly Word - November 14, 2021 - ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD!
“If you have an urgent need for healing, know that God is here as perfect health. If your need is for a more prosperous life, God is here as inexhaustible substance. If you need more friends, a more rewarding position in life, know that God is here as love, life and power.”(Foster C. McCellan)
All things work together for good. I do not need to struggle, strain or strive to bring God into my life, he is already there.
I have no fear for I know that God is with me and I cannot fail. I walk tall and hold my head high for God has given me all of the confidence, faith and good Judgement that I need to meet every experience in life.
I know that God is absolute good and that the will of God for me is absolute good. I meet every experience with an open, expectant attitude. I open my mind to divine guidance, knowing that the loving, caring, protective, power and presence of God the good Omnipotent goes before me making my way clear for my success, health and happiness.
I love God, therefore, all things work together for my Good!
Weekly Word - November 7, 2021 - NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US FROM GOD'S LOVE!
“ For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God……” (Romans 8:38-39)
“God can use any situation that we bring upon ourselves due to ignorance or deliberate willfulness to bring forth good. No matter where we find ourselves in life, no matter what circumstances we have formed or created, God can bring forth good when we are receptive to His love and let Him guide us.” (Jim Lewis)
Nothing can separate us from the love of God or keep us from our good. God’s will for us is good, absolute, and complete good! We are always one with the love and will of God, nothing can separate us from Him, and His great love for us.
Through every experience, His will and love for us is evident. We feel His support, strength, and comfort. We know that the ultimate goodness of God can be trusted.
Often we may not see how a situation or experience can bless us, but bless us does. He goes before us clearing the way for happiness, health, prosperity, success, and perfect self expression. As we hold to our faith and listen to the “still small voice”, we are led and find His perfect path for us. We can stand firm in knowing that nothing can separate us from the love of God or keep us from our good!
Weekly Word - October 31, 2021 - GOD BLESS YOU!
“Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you…." (Ephesians 5:1-2)
“God put you where you are to be a channel for His message to somebody, to everybody, to all around you.” (Gardner Hunting)
God bless you! When we make our minds up to see God everywhere, in everything, our lives change. We begin to see more clearly the God qualities expressing in everyone and in every circumstance.
Extending a blessing in either thought or word clears the way for the greater fulfillment of all persons. It means that all the finest, best, most exalted ideas that our minds can envision is what we wish for the one to whom we say, “God bless you!”
An interesting thing happens when we speak or think a word of blessing for another; the receiver is uplifted, inspired, encouraged, strengthened, and the giver is also blessed, for the very holding of a blessing for another cannot help but have a corresponding effect. What we give returns to us multiplied.
God bless you! The greatest gift we can give.
Weekly Word - October 24, 2021 - THE LAW OF GOOD PREVAILS!
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy1:7)
“All fears rest upon thoughts, and if the thought foundation can be broken up, the fear will vanish.” (Charles & Cora Fillmore)
Are you spending sleepless nights worry about things; job, money, future, career, family, world situation, health? Did you know that 99% of what you worry about will never come to pass? Still we can usually find something to worry about if we try hard enough.
Worry is a habit, a habit that can be overcome. We can replace the worry thoughts with thoughts of truth, God, and the law of good. The law of good is always at work, we need but tap into that awareness, remembering that all things are working together for good.
If we find ourselves anxious or concerned about the outcome of some situation, we need but remind ourselves that “there is nothing to fear, nothing to be anxious about for God is in charge, all things are working together for good, and all is well!
Weekly Word - October 17, 2021 - MY PRAYER FOR YOU!
"I will go before you and make the rough place smooth.”(Isaiah 45:2)
“For He will give His angels charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways." (Psalms 91:11)
Recently I came upon a prayer from an early “Daily Word” that spoke to my heart.I pass it now. This is my prayer for you and those you hold near and dear to your heart.
May you have the wisdom to handle the affairs of your life.
May you have the ability to make right and good decisions.
May you have the courage to let the past go, to forge ahead resolutely.
May you have the grace to meet each experience expectantly and happily.
May you have the faith to know there is no loss or separation in God, that in Him you are forever one with those you love.
May you have the vision to see good in all things, the Christ in all persons.
May you have an awareness of God’s presence, close and abiding.
May you know that, “Underneath are the everlasting arms; that God will never fail you nor forsake you.”
God bless you. You are wonderful!
Weekly Word - October 10, 2021 - GOD IS YOUR HEALTH!
Weekly Word - October 3, 2021 - DIVINE LOVE PREVAILS!
“But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and lifter up of mine head.” (Psalms 3:3)
“Love is that mighty power, that divine quality of God that is expressing through all mankind, and cannot be suppressed by any outside force.” (Charles Fillmore)
As we go through life, we begin ti realize that that which is ours by divine right of consciousness cannot be separated of removed form us. We need not fear the loss of our good and should not feel insecure or afraid. God’s great love is mighty in the midst of us, and is greater than our human limitations, and is more vast than our fears.
Our own comes to us under divine law and through the irresistible power of divine love. God knows our every need and supplies it readily.
"There is good in the universe, and I ought to have it.” (Emma Curtis Hopkins)
Weekly Word - September 26, 2021 - GOD IS IN CHARGE!
“For He will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all of your ways.” (Psalms 91:11)
“With God there is always a way that is prepared now, a way that is at hand now, away of life, away of supply a way of peace, a way of happiness, a way of freedom, a way of light.” (Martha Smock)
God is in charge! Praise God! God is in charge! Let us give thanks that God’s law of good rules in every situation, in all people, and that God’s law of good can be relied upon to bring about right and divine solutions.
If we are concerned, filled with doubt, worry or fear, we need to remind ourselves that God is in charge, and that God is bigger, greater, and more powerful than any circumstance, person or condition. A powerful thought to keep in mind would be, “God is in charge of my life and affairs. I trust Him to guide, direct and bless me in all ways. God is in charge, and He reveals to me the way to my highest good!”
God is in charge, a positive thought to hold for ourselves and for those we may have some concern about. God is in charge; His law of good prevails!
Weekly Word - September 19, 2021 - I’M LISTENING
Weekly Word - September 12, 2021 - INTENTIONS
“Jesus looked at them and said, “For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; for God all things are possible.” (Mark 10:27)
I PURSUE MY INTENTIONS WITH FAITH, KNOWING ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD.
Unity author H. Emilie Cady wrote in LESSONS IN TRUTH: “Desire in the heart is always God tapping at the door of your consciousness…. the thing you desire is not only for you, but has already been started toward you out of the heart of God.”
I recognize my intentions are more than wishful thinking. They are part of my purpose. Some may be long-term goals, requiring years of study, focus, and actions. My daily intentions may include helping a friend who is experiencing a serious challenge. Following this call to serve, I know I will be divinely supported with the right words to say and actions to take. I pursue my heartfelt intentions, for they are callings from Spirit to do more and be more.
“……….all things are possible with God."
Weekly Word - September 5, 2021 - HEALTH!
“The spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.”
(Job 33:4)
One with the mighty healing power of God, I am whole in mind, body, and spirit.
With absolute trust in God, I affirm: I am one with the mighty healing power of God.
Just as God’s spirit dwells within in me, so too, does the power God. I am whole and well.
Gratitude, strength, and love fill my being and overflow out into my life.
With each repetition of this healing affirmation, I am lifted higher and higher into the truth
of a presence of God as an integral part of the very fiber of my being. My mind, body and spirit
respond to these words of strength and health. My walk is buoyant, my mind is bright and
clear, and my spirits are uplifted.
In praise and celebration, I affirm: ONE with the almighty healing power of God, I am whole in
mind, body, and spirit.
Weekly Word - August 29, 2021 - All IS WELL!

There is no reason for me to worry, be concerned or fret about anything. I remember that there is a Presence and Power that dwells within me that is greater than I am, and always greater than any situation or concern that I may be experiencing at the moment.
I can call upon that Presence and Power and place myself in It’s loving care. I can consciously let go of all anxious thought about the future, my loved ones, financial security and health issues, knowing that I am supported and nurtured in all ways———ways that I could not have even imaged.

“Cast your burdens upon the Lord and He will sustain you…..” (Psalms 55:22)
Weekly Word - August 8, 2021 - DIVINE IDEAS!
Change Your Thinking Change Your Life!
It’s decision time!
If we want to experience miracles in our lives, we need to make sure that our thinking is in alignment with what we want to experience. We must come into vibrational harmony with the desires we hold in our hearts and minds.
Science tells us that an average person has over 6,000 thoughts per day. According to a Cleveland Clinic study of those thoughts, 95% of them repeat each day and 80% of those repeated thoughts are negative. Not very conducive to miracles is it?
We are kidding ourselves if we are asking and expecting a miracle on one hand and then revert to fear, anger, bitterness and unforgiveness.
Myrtle Fillmore, co-founder of Unity, taught that we must re-train our mind and that is exactly what we must do. Make a habit of thinking only about what we want, not about what we don’t want.
It takes consistent and conscious effort -----and it’s worth it.By ridding ourselves of old, worn out, negative, self-defeating thought patterns, we are making room for the miracles that want to come rushing into our lives. It’s decision time!
Change your thinking and expect your miracle!
Weekly Word - July 31, 2021 - GOD DOES HIS PERFECT WORKS THROUGH ME!
"You do not have to strive and strain to bring God into you life. He is already there!” (Martha Smock)
“The Father who dwells in me does His works.” I am always adequate and more than adequate to meet every circumstance in life, for I know God works through me. “The Father who dwells in me does His works.” I know that God is at work in me right now and nothing is impossible to God. God is my unlimited resource in everything I do. God is my help in every need. Whatever I long to be, through the power of God, I am. Whatever I need to do, through the power of God, I do. God cannot fail; His work is always done in a perfect way.
Because I know that God is working through me, I have no fear; I am filled with courage. No experience can disturb the calm peace of my soul. I rise above all that has limited or disturbed me with faith and confidence knowing that it is the Father who dwells within me who does His perfect works.
“You do not have to strive and strain to bring God into your life. He is already there.”
Weekly Word - July 25, 2021 - I LIFT MY HEART AND VOICE TO PRAISE!
Praise works miracles, so today I lift my hear and voice in praise!
As I do so I experience health, harmony and abundance!
"I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders; I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praises to your name, O Most High." (Psalms 9-1,2)
"You can offer no higher prayer to God than that of praise." (Margaret Ponders)
Charles Fillmore once wrote, "You can praise a weak body into strength, a fearful heart into peace and trust, shattered nerves into poise and power, a failing business into prosperity and success, want and insufficiency into supply and support." Praise works miracles, so today, I lift my heart and voice in praise and I experience health, harmony and abundance.
Sometimes we have the idea that everything must be in perfect order before we can speak words of praise. However, this is not the case. As we speak words of praise for our day-to-day good and all of the special blessings that have come our way, our hearts and mind are filled with gratitude.
Speaking words of praise to another with whole-hearted sincerity brings joy to others, and it will return to us in varied ways. Speaking words of praise for ourselves enhances youth, beauty, health, happiness, success and allows the genius within to become manifest.
Weekly Word - July 11, 2021 - I TRUST IN THE POWER OF GOD!
