MORNING
This is the day the Lord has made we rejoice and we are glad in it.
God has a plan for this day and this plan includes us.We are an idea in the mind of God in the process of unfolding.
As a child of God we appreciate ourselves as his creation.
We do not put ourselves down in anyway, we love people.
We forgive ourselves for seeing with our eyes of ego, separation, darkness, and judgement.
Thank you Lord for forgiving us for the pain we have caused you, others, and ourselves because we have done that.
We are in harmony with all living things.
Through Christ we receive power to do ALL things.
Thank you Lord for the love, strength, joy, peace, forgiveness, kindness, patience, gratefulness, and gentleness to live another day - YOUR way. We accept the abundant life of Christ in us today - health in our mind, body, and Spirit;
success with personal relationships;
inspiration for our creative endeavors - especially for the projects we are now undertaking.
Praise to you Lord Christ - we go on our way Rejoicing!
Be Still and Know that I am God. Take hold of my Holy Spirit;
take hold of my Wisdom and Strength;
take hold of my Faith and Hope;
take hold of my Love;
take hold of my Joy that is within you!
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory Forever and ever. Amen.
Thank you for making us an instrument of your peace, love, and joy.
Where there is hatred, letting us sew LOVE.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is discord, harmony.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Father, thank you for making us not so much to seek to be consoled as to console; To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is dying to ourselves—giving up our self-will to you—that we are born to Eternal life.
Thank you for making our body our face, our eyes, and—most of all—our voice Your’s so that when we see and hear us, we see and hear and know and feel you, Your love for us, our love for You and for us, and accept it, accept it, accept it!!!
AND, we are healed, comforted, and LIFTED UP IN JOY to your Holy Presence!!!
Everywhere I go people are blessed by my presence because it is Your Presence that shines through me.
My life is a blessing to everyone I meet, know, and see because it is Your Life that shines through me.
The grace of God, the cross of Jesus, the guiding grace of the Holy Spirit surrounds and protects our whole family—the whole human race—at all times.
Thank you Jesus for our Christ Consciousness, the willingness and the grace to think, say, do, and be Your Holy Gospel Truth—our highest good at all times.
Oh Father, you know what is LOVE for us better than we know ourselves. Thank you for giving us the willingness and the grace to think it, say it, do it, and be it at all places, all times, and in all ways. Just like you do Jesus. Just like you do, and all of us can see you, hear you, know you, and feel you in us and have personal, loving, intimate relationship with you. We can feed your lambs and feed your sheep, with you and for you, and to you.
Oh Father, you know what is LOVE for us better than we know ourselves. Thank you for giving us the willingness and the grace to eat exactly what is LOVE for us Spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically and have your thoughts diet, exercise, and sleep in quality and quantity to sparkle, polish, and maintain your healthy, happy, cheerful, lovingly giving, joyfully, peaceful, humorously humble, forgiving, kind, patient, grateful, gentle, slender, lovingly obedient, faithful, Christ-centered child of yours. With all our heart, soul, mind, and strength we put our trust in you. Knowing that You are guiding us at every moment of every day to "eat" exactly what is LOVE for us spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically
