Let Us Create the Possibility of Well Being

Friday, January 25th, 2008

This prayer is inspired by Jo Ann Buckner, who has contributed many beautiful prayers to Prayer for Prospering Times.  She and her husband are going through an experience that is calling for powerful demonstrations of faith and prayer. Let’s join with them in knowing that God is Well Being and that we can create the Possibility of Well Being for them, ourselves, and everyone we know who has a health challenge or opportunity.

Dear Lord, in this Holy Moment, we surrender all preconceived human notions of impossibility and replace them with the experience of who You are and who we really are in Spirit and in Truth. We are more than any appearance in form. We are more than the appearance of disease, discomfort, disharmony or discord. Who we are, are the sons and daughters of Possibility Itself. For scripture reminds us, “…, ‘ With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible’.” – Matthew 19:26

We thank You God for reminding us that You are the Essence of Possibility. We focus our faith on Your Possibility and co-create with You possibilities of well being, health, healing and harmony. We know this for Jo ann, her husband and everyone else for whom we desire the experience of well being, including Nickey and Karen, Delphine, Bill, Juliana and her father Jorge, Bobbi and Anthony, Larry, Thelma, Billye and everyone else who has ever made a prayer request here. Thank You God for blessing them according to their need and desire. So It Is! Amen!

It Is Our Faith That Makes Us Whole

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

Today the power of my words affirms vitality, health and healing. I engage my faculty of faith in the Healing Power of God Almighty. I set a conscious and deliberate intention to affirm my birthright of wholeness and divine perfection. I am created in the image and likeness of my Creator, I am perfect in the sight of God and today I see as God sees and I am confident that my faith makes me whole according to the promise of Christ Who Lives within me. Positive words that are charged with the divine energy of healing and Truth, spoken with conviction and steadfastly held in Mind shift all outer appearances in the temporal world, including the appearance and functioning of my body. I faithfully affirm the nature of God and my true relationship to God. There is only one Power and one Presence active in my Life and in the Universe, God the Good and Omnipotent. God’s omnipotence is active in my body now. God is the name of my Good, including my health. I am healed when I remember with all of my Being that God’s activity within me does not allow sickness. Dear God, I dwell in You and You in me and I share Your Omnipotence. I praise God in all conditions and at all times and I declare that all is well.

Thank You God for reminding me today that Your Grace is my sufficiency. Thank You for teaching me that I live, move and experience my Being in, through and because of You. I know now, in this holy moment that You are all there Is and that I am a part of Your Holy Perfection. I now surrender to Your Presence and Power within me and allow You to express through me as wholeness, health, peace and vitality. Your activity in me serves as a living example of Your Love for Your Creation.

Thank You God! I am Whole – I am Complete! Amen!

When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They told him, “Yes, Lord.” Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”- Matthew 9:28-29

Jo Ann’s Prayer for Today

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1

How good it is to know that there is no separation, no distance, no time nor space differential in the infinite mind of God. At times when family or friends move away, a loved one dies, one loses a job, or a precious item seems lost, we feel a sense of separation. Nothing we could ever do will separate us from the love of God that is in us. Home is where the heart is and a heart filled with loving memories is the best medicine. When our loved ones move away, they carry us in their hearts just as they live in ours. Our spiritual connection is far greater than a physical and/or geographical relocation. We can feel comforted by knowing that we are never alone, that life is eternal, that nothing is ever lost in Spirit. Our challenge is to convince ourselves of the Truth of our being. It is good to know that whatever is true for anyone of us is true for everyone of us. An old adage says, “fear knocked at the door, faith opened the door, and there was nothing there”. In the scriptures when the disciples were afraid during the storm, Jesus rebuked the winds and the waves, and there was a dead calm. So like Jesus, the great example, when we are experiencing discomfort, we can say, “peace be still” to the storms and circumstances of our lives. It is a great demonstration of faith to look fear in the face. Greater is He that is in me than that which is in the world. Weeping may endure for the night, but joy always comes in the morning. And each new day brings new opportunities for us for self realization… the realization of our God self, Its presence and Its power. Greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world. And so it is.

Amen

January Prosperity Prayer

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. – Rev. 21:1

Our Father, Author of every blessing, thank You for all of the possibilities of this New Year. Prepare us for the full appreciation of every blessing we experience this year. We now renew our minds and purify our hearts and experience the blessings of forgiveness and Love restored. Father, equip us to see the things and events which are of the world but to act only upon the reality of Your transcendent presence. As this year of prosperity begins, we set the intention to be willing and open channels for the full expression of Your presence within us. We confidently move into the promise and possibility of a year filled with an abundance of opportunities to experience Your peace, prosperity, and sustaining presence. As we look into the possible futures of this year, we see ourselves inspired by a new heaven and functioning on a new earth and wisely releasing the mistaken ideas and self defeating activities of the past.

Thank You God!

Selah!
