A Lenten Forgiveness Prayer
Feb 20th, 2008 by Charles
Through The Spirit of Christ within Me, I Call Forth the Power to Forgive.
Today I start my day with Love. Through love I compassionately align myself with the power of Divine Law, the process by which God manifests. Charles Fillmore, the co-founder of Unity taught that the inner spirit of the law is the spiritual way of life that Jesus lived and taught. My intention for this day is to experience the spiritual essence of Jesus’ way of living. The inner stirring of Divine Law is the mental and emotional energy that gives voice to what we call conscience, our sense of right and wrong. I use the prompting of my conscience to help me align myself with the unstoppable and uplifting power of the law today. God’s wisdom, present within me, guides my use of love and forgiveness to assess myself and others. I now forgive all the sin or mistakes I find in my thoughts and feelings about myself and other people. God guides me in this forgiveness process allowing me to intuitively know that the law can not uplift me in the absence of love. Without love the law occurs as a stern, if not cruel teacher. However, through the power of Love drawn from God within me, I repent by acknowledging my errors and asking for forgiveness. And likewise I bestow the blessing of forgiveness upon those who would otherwise remain trespassers in my mind and in my heart. I am now blessed with the experience of the law occurring as a wise and nurturing parent.
Thank You God for this day, begun in love and sustained with prayer! Today I give up my harsh thoughts and judgments of myself and others. I am experiencing a miraculous day of healing, harmony and transformation. With a forgiving heart and mind, I am aware of God’s continuing presence and activity in my life and I experience myself as a blessing to everyone and in every circumstance within my field of influence today. Thank You God for lifting me up into Your spiritual realm of transcendent Love!
I am complete!
Selah!
