desire in the subconscious mind of certain persons to get more, have more, hold
on to more, often works out through the appetite. God intends that the divine
law of giving and receiving shall operate so that the inflow and outflow of
life and substance are balanced in mind and body and affairs. However, the
belief that life is in food and one must eat much to live; the belief that
unless one takes much of the manifested substance he will not get his share,
tend (in the subconscious mind) to produce a greedy condition in living. This
condition often governs the appetite, resulting in excessive eating.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Today is an opportunity to recognize and honor the fatherly influences in my life, whether their role is a parent, mentor, teacher, or coach. Their encouragement and guidance gave me the gift of believing in myself.</div>

My prayers also include fathers and stepfathers who are new to the role, learning the importance, dedication, and patience it takes. I bless the role models who are helping to build life skills and live by example. Whether changing a diaper, telling a story, attending school functions, or teaching how to ride a bike, at the heart of all that matters is love.</div>

God’s presence is active in their lives. I pray they live in this awareness and enjoy the experience of watching children discover who they are and what they are capable of achieving.</div>

consciousness so that we create the Christ consciousness in ourselves this month with the Prayer of Faith by Hannah More Kohaus.<br /> <br /> Myrtle Fillmore felt that all children would benefit from the memorization and study of the prayer. <br /> we've been told to become like children so lets take the advise and use this prayer in our meditation time this month. <br /> Here are Myrtle's thoughts on the subject.<br /> <br /> <em><strong>The Teaching of Children</strong></em></p> <p>Humanity is coming intellectually to recognize and claim an omnipresent God. But the individual concept of the omnipresence of God does not enable man to make practical use of his great light. The understanding and realization of God being the very mind and life and substance of man's earthly existence must be as much a part of man's consciousness as are the human relationships.</p> <p>We must learn to know that God is spirit and that his spirit within us is a motive power which carries us forward in every department of our daily living. Children should be taught that God is spirit and that the purpose of their being is to express God. They should be trained in the faith and understanding which makes them to know that they express the spirit of God in their every thought and desire and action.</p> <p>The child's mind accords perfectly with true ideas and it is easy to rear children in conscious unity with God when they are encouraged through their faith to claim their sonship. Teach them to pray this prayer of faith:</p> <p>God is my help in every need; <br /> God does my every hunger feed; <br /> God walks beside me, guides my way <br /> Through every moment of the day. <br /> <br /> I now am wise, I now am true, <br /> Patient, kind, and loving, too; <br /> All things I am, can do, and be, <br /> Through Christ the Truth, that is in me. <br /> <br /> God is my health, I can't be sick; <br /> God is my strength, unfailing, quick; <br /> God is my all, I know no fear, <br /> Since God and Love and Truth are here. <br /> Amen.</p> <p>I look forward to hearing how you use this to bless your life and others this week.<br /> <br /> Have a wonder filled week.<br /> <br /> Love<br /> <br /> John<br /> PS Thank you to Truth Unity for posting this on their website which is a wonderful resource of Unity teachings.</p> <p><a href= "https://www.truthunity.net/audio/myrtle-fillmore-the-prayer-of-faith" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://www.truthunity.net/audio/myrtle-fillmore-the-prayer-of-faith&source=gmail&ust=1525657611110000&usg=AFQjCNH06-M0sqLL4plNm6g8H5vjpIz3nQ"> https://www.truthunity.net/</a></p> <br /><p><a target="_blank" href="http://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/6560220/tdest_id/165626">Check out this episode!</a></p>John Zenkewichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17566924699039979540noreply@blogger.com0
