I ACCOMPLISH GREAT THINGS TODAY FOR I AM ESTABLISHED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

Matthew 6:9

Which art in heaven  

In God I live and more and have my being.  In me God lives and moves and has expression.  All that God is, I am.  All that God is, is where I am, for this world is heaven when I see it rightly. I cannot escape God and, therefore, I cannot escape my good.  There is a Divine Inevitableness to my life.  I cannot be held in limitation, for my Divine Self impels me to right solutions.  No error can long endure, for God alone lives forevermore.

Established in the conviction that God is my only experience, I am now open to Spiritual Ideas.  I welcome them, for they reveal to me the true riches of the Kingdom of Heaven.  I enjoy every attempt to solve my problems through right thinking, for I know I am developing spiritually.  I know that my thinking is based on Truth and that all doors are open to me, and that all limitations have ceased.  I know this because every prophet, savior, teacher and Bible has assured me that it is so.

The God which has inspired every great individual, is the same God who is the true essence of my consciousness.  One Mind rules and governs all.  This Mind in me is authority over all that is unlike Itself. Evil is erased by my recognition of the Power and the Presence of God.  I walk with the great, the true and the mighty.  Before me is the pathway of greatness.

Today, I have faith in God’s universe; His heaven is my present abode.  Unto me is given the fullness of Truth, the everlasting Joy and the Hope eternal.  I am a true citizen of the Kingdom of God, and I am established in His righteousness.  I accomplish great things today.

TODAY IS A DAY OF RESULTS AS I LET GOD THINK IN MY CONSCIOUSNESS  

Our Father   

Matthew 6:9

One God, one Presence, one Mind, one Law and this is my divine heritage, for It created me out of Itself.  All this surrounds me, dwells in me and acts through me.  “I stand in the Great Forever, I live in the ocean of Truth.”  I am the beloved Son of the Father, and I do that which pleases Him today.  With eyes uplifted unto the hills of Truth, I walk my pathway in wisdom and love.

I have Divine Integrity.  I know that with His Wisdom inspiring me I can never make a mistake.  The world cannot fool me, and my fellowman cannot confuse me.  I am a Spiritual Being in a Spiritual experience right now.  Ideas are coming to me at every instant, and they offer me a greater portion of life than I now have.  I accept them, and increase my good.

Unto me is given the Truth, for all that the Father hath is mine.  God presents Himself to His universe by means of me.  “He that seeth me, seeth Him who sent me.”  I accept this Divine Inheritance and fulfill my true place in the Father’s plan.  I am the child of a King, who rules in grace and truth.  Knowing this, I dedicate my life to expressing the attributes of God.

I am an ever-unfolding expression of infinite Mind.  This Mind indwells me and leads me into health, prosperity and peace.  I let God think in my consciousness.  I let Divine Love be my expression and my joy.  I know that He who made me will never fail me.  I give thanks that I am a spiritual being living in God’s universe of order.  The benediction of the Almighty is upon me, and today is filled with good.

I STEADFASTLY INCREASE MY AWARENESS OF GOD IN MY PRESENT WORLD   

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.   

Psalm 23:6

I live in an expanding universe that is potent with Divine possibilities.  On every hand the presence of God is beckoning to me, inviting my growth.  Truly, I dwell in the house of the Lord today.  There is nothing to hold me back, for His Mind in me presses me forward into larger living and greater thinking.  I steadfastly increase my awareness of God in my present world.  Right here and now I make my demonstration.  I joyously accept an expanding, unfolding life of true service to God and to my fellowman.

I live in an evolving universe that bids me grow in the ways of the Spirit.  God is seeking to make me a greater person, and a more useful citizen of His good heaven on earth.  I seek out larger Ideas of Truth.  I keep the windows of my soul open to new and fresh ways of knowing Truth.  I evolve into that “image and likeness” which is already my inner Pattern.  I let go of the “little” to accept the “more.”  I grow in wisdom, in spiritual stature, in favor with God and with man.

Where I am, I shall make my demonstration of Truth.  I no longer wait for the future to solve my problems.  Today, I live in Omnipresence, and right now my good is at hand. What I seek is seeking me.  The Idea I need is now in my consciousness, and the Law of Mind is producing it.  I relax and realize that today is good, tomorrow will be better, and each day is God’s day.

I live in a loving universe, where God’s friendliness is on every hand.  Divine Love enfolds me and flows from me.  I love the Love of God in everyone I know.  I am loved by the Love of God in everyone I know.  I dwell in Love this day.

I AM IMPELLED TO COUNT MY BLESSINGS, AND TO SEE GOD EVERYWHERE   

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life  

  Psalm 23:6

Permanent good is now mine, for I am established in the Mind of God.  Never again shall temporary good be mine.  This day, I am in my eternal good, because I know that I am in God forevermore.  My security is in Him who is the Author and Finisher of my faith.  Though the world may change about me, yet within I am at peace for I know God, love God and appreciate God.  God never begins and never ceases.  This constant flow of God through me is my life and my eternal hope.

I am free in the belief of time and space.  I use both of these for my convenience, but they never limit me.  I know that Eternity and Infinity are mine, and I enlarge my consciousness daily.  I look at my changing world and see the permanence of heaven.  I look at my own calendar years and see Eternity unfold.  All sense of age leaves me, and I let God’s eternal Life be mine.  I am living the Life of God.  I am in God’s perfect heaven right now.

Mind outpours Its rich treasures of Truth to me.  I am receptive to them, and my subconscious establishes them. I accept myself as an unlimited creation of a perfect Mind.  I assimilate God’s Ideas and they transform me into a new and greater person.  God uses me as His open channel for the production of beauty, peace and power.  I am a blessed outlet of an Infinite Mind.

I am impelled to count my blessings and to see God everywhere.  Surrounding me is His Presence, within me is His Mind, I abide at every instant in a Holy Peace, an unending security and a Love Divine.

I KNOW THAT GOD IS BLESSING ME NOW WITH HIS WHOLE SPIRIT

My cup runneth over   

Psalm 23:5

I alert my mind to every blessing in my life this day.  I know that I abide in the omnipresence of Good, and that round me on all sides God is pressing upon me as good.  “My cup runneth over.”  There is no limitation to the amount of God in my world, and I let this great Presence flood me with blessings.  Unlimited health is mine; uncountable prosperity is mine; peace is mine.

I drop out of my consciousness every contracting thought of limitation.  I know only the expanding truth of life, and I become a greater person, a rarer soul and a more loving companion today.  I know that God is blessing me now with His whole Spirit.  I have faith in the Christ that abides in me in fullness.  I have faith in the overflowing cup of truth, and I drink therefrom of the living waters, and I shall never thirst again.

The Holy Spirit of Life, Love and Wisdom is upsurging within me to make me a greater person.  Unto me there comes the guidance of a Mind supreme.  I know that more Good is within me than I can now sense and appreciate.  All that is of Truth pours Itself into my consciousness, and I freely accept all Its bounty.  The richness of the universe is mine to use and to enjoy.

Knowing that abundance is mine, I also know this for my friends, my co-workers and my family.  Theirs, also, is a cup that runneth over.  To them also is given Richness of the Spirit.  We are all living together in a spiritual universe that is forever showering us with blessings.  For all those blessings that appear on my pathway, I rejoice and give thanks.

I AM A RADIATING CENTER OF JOYOUS ACTIVITY

Thou anointest my head with oil  

Psalm 23:5

I am filled with the joy of living, for I know that I am created of the Spirit to express the Spirit.  Therefore, I am a channel for joy, and I let it flow from God through me into my world.  I am a radiating center of joyous activity, and today I offer this to my world.  My business is joyous; my home is joyous; my whole being is joyous.  I thank God for life and for the zest of living victoriously in His perfect universe.

My head is anointed with the joy of the Lord.  It flows through my body as healing.  It pours into my consciousness as unending inspiration.  I relax and let this inner Joy of the Spirit take over my life and all its affairs.  I rest in the assurance that this is my day of demonstration, for my heart is glad and my whole soul is at peace.  I am glad to be living in these times.

There is permanence to all good feelings when they are recognized as God in action.  The zest of living is mine, because I know that Life flows through me with a joyous purpose.  Within me is the Good Shepherd, the Christ, and He gives me joy that will not pass away.  I enjoy life, and I enjoy my relationships with people.  God brings me a happy experience through every person I meet.  I am glad to be alive as a spiritual being.

Thinking of God as the source on my joy, my way is now easy and my burden is light.  I know, as did Jesus, that “He that sent me is with me.”  Mind directs me, Love upholds me, Power acts through me.  Steadfastly thinking of Truth, I walk in life knowing that all things work together for my good.

JOYOUSLY, I ACCEPT THE GOOD WHICH GOD IS DISTRIBUTING IN MY LIFE  

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies   

Psalm 23:5

At every moment of this day I am surrounded by good.  This is true, because God is always omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient.  There is nothing to confuse me, for God is the order of my life.  All good flows to me; all good flows from me.  Where I am, God is, and all is well.  Knowing this I walk serenely through my day with complete assurance that Divine Mind is my mind now.  Only that which is true belongs to me and operates through me.

The table of the Lord is prepared for me, and I eat therefrom.  All the ideas of infinite Mind are being offered to me now.  These nourish and sustain me, as I accept and assimilate them.  They are inspiration to my mind.  They are wisdom in handling my emotions.  They are beauty and peace to my soul.  Joyously, I accept the good which God is distributing in my life.

I am subject to the Divine Distribution of Love.  It showers affection upon me and love upsurges within me.  It beckons me to move on to my demonstration.  It bids me welcome in the Heaven that is here and now.  Unto me is given the full kingdom, and I accept it as a child accepts his security.  My true dwelling place is in God right where I am at this moment.

Because I am established in right thinking, no evil can befall me.  Because I am established in Love and Wisdom, no man can dislike me.  Because I know that God is the only power, no situation can hurt me.  These things I know, because I know and understand God and my eternal place in His Plan.  I am the beloved son of a Perfect Father. My security is in Him who brought me forth to express His Nature.

I WORK WITH THE POWER, INTELLIGENCE AND JOY OF DIVINE MIND   

Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me   

Psalm 23:4 

Surrounded by Good, I walk this day in peace.  The Mind and Love of God supports me in every decision I make and in everything I do.  It is impossible to escape from the Presence of God, so it is impossible to lack for any good thing.  All that God is, is mine this day.  It supports me; It enfolds me.  I feel this eternal Presence of Love.

Like David, the Psalmist, I know that the rod and the staff of Spirit are bringing forth my demonstrations of Truth.  The Mind and the Law are mine to use today.  They will produce for me my sincere desires, for they must create what I choose to think.  I turn in thought to God, knowing that His instant response is assured.  I give thanks in advance for my healing.  I accept my good from God.

There is joy in my heart and hope in my thinking.  I shall never again be blocked in my roadway of expanding understanding.  I am joyous; for I know that I am never defeated and never repulsed.  God’s action through me is victorious, and my demonstrations come to pass on time and in order.  This is the joy of living according to Truth.

I am encircled with the Armor of Truth.  I walk through the Presence of God.  I work with the Power, Intelligence and Joy of Divine Mind.  Everything blesses me, and I bless everything.  I cannot fail, for God Himself created me and acts through me.  My word is the law unto my universe, and I speak words of Truth.  Sustained at every moment by Love, I live in peace, work in joy and relax in beauty.  All is well with my soul.

I BUILD WISELY FOR THE MIND THAT CREATED ME IS WITH ME AND WORKING THROUGH ME

For thou art with me   

Psalm 23:4

I am always sustained by a perfect God.  I am never alone, and never lonely, for the universe is my friend.  It was created by a Loving Intelligence to serve me.  All people bring me a touch of God.  All circumstances are impressing me with good.  Where I am, God is, and that is all I need to be happy.  Around me at every instant is Divine Companionship and Divine Love.  God looks at me through every face; God blesses me through every situation.

The Law of Good is working for me, and I give it full power in my life now.  There is no law of evil to oppose it, for God is One.  I know that I am held lovingly and firmly in the Law of Good. The peace that passeth all understanding is mine, for I let God do the work.  I set aside all my human opinions and material belief and give God a chance to act through me.  I know that the only result of this decision will be increased blessings in my life.

I construct new forms based on new ideas.  I let the old patterns fall away, and I rejoice in a new heaven and a new earth.  Letting go of the past I press forward to new and greater Ideas of Truth.  New foundations appear, new temples are built and new good happens. I build on the sure knowledge of the goodness of life, and the permanence of love.

Within me now is the Power of God fulfilling all my desires.  With me now is Divine Love making lovely and gracious my way.  Within me now is God’s Intelligence making every right decision.  I lack for nothing for the mind which created me is in me and working through me.

I AM SURROUNDED AND UPHELD BY ALMIGHTY GOD, AND MY SOUL IS FILLED WITH PEACE   

I will fear no evil   

Psalm 23:4

God is where I am, and in this Presence I am secure today.  I will fear no evil, for I understand Truth.  Sustained by the Mind of God I live fearlessly, joyously and freely.  Nothing can stop the right action of God in my life.  At every instant God acts, and I know this Action is around me, within me and upon me.  There is nothing to fear; there is only God to know.

The Power of the Spirit is my protection from all that is unlike God.  This Power is working for me and is working through me.  It makes my way easy and my burden light.  It goes before me and eliminates every obstacle that would confound me.  Immersed in the Divine Presence I am now experiencing Its good, Its peace and Its love.  I am surrounded and upheld by Almighty God, and my soul is filled with peace.

God is all there is, and there is nothing to believe except this eternal goodness. Evil is a lie, and departs from me now forevermore.  I cannot believe in sickness, lack or unhappiness.  I know that there is no power, no authority and no continuity of negation.  My world, being the presence of God, is aware only of Truth and Beauty.  All other does not exist.

Regardless of circumstances, I keep my mind free of worry and doubt, for I know that Spirit is the only Cause and Love is the only effect.  I have complete faith in God and His Law of right action.  Radiant with Love, no one can hurt me.  Inspired by Divine Intelligence, nothing can confuse me.  Filled with the perfect Peace, nothing can disturb me.  I meet life this day with ease and the expectancy of increased blessings.
