Divine wisdom guides us

Divine love inspires us to bless one another.

My own well-being is about more than just what I myself contribute. I live in a world in which others are a source of food, transportation, health care, and safety.

Knowing this is so, I pray a prayer of inclusion, knowing that others, as well as myself, further my well-being at home, far away, and all places in between.

Thank God for all those who plan for, supply, or prepare nutritious food, pure water, abundant energy, safe travel, clean streets, and so much more.

Remembering them in my prayers, I envision them in an environment that is peaceful and secure at all times. I thank God for wisdom that guides us and love that inspires us to bless one another.

"I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you, because of your sharing in the gospel from the first day until now."

--Philippians 1:3-5

I am free to create the life I desire.

I am free to create the life I desire.

My mind is a powerful, creative tool. With it, I have the ability to pursue and achieve unlimited possibilities. I am free to express myself in diverse ways. As I give my full attention to God in prayer, I free myself from all limitations and open myself to experiencing the fulfillment of my deepest desires.

I picture in my mind the outcome I desire and then contribute to its unfoldment. This freedom to create my world through thoughts and images held in mind helps me to cross any bridge or surmount any hurdle on my way to success.

My freedom is precious to me. Through prayer and meditation, I keep my mind open and filled with positive thoughts. I cocreate the life I want, the world I desire, and the means with which to accomplish my goals.

"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is,

there is freedom."--2 Corinthians 3:17

New Me

Through the renewing spirit of Christ within, I am a new creation.

A new me is emerging this year, and today is the beginning of a journey of discovery.

Along the way, I am discovering skills and strengths, pursuing dreams and desires, completing projects and goals. Everything old is in the past. No limiting conditions are left over. All has become new. Previously untried experiences stimulate my mind and creativity.

This is a year of renewal of mind and body, of healing--physically and emotionally. I joyfully reunite with people and places that have held meaning in my life. New acquaintances enrich my everyday experiences and inspire my progress forward. I am not the same person I was last year or even yesterday.

Through the renewing spirit of Christ within, I am a new creation.

"So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!"--2 Corinthians 5:17
