One Power - Affirmation Tuesday


Happy Tuesday!!!

Each Tuesday I will provide a free coloring page and an affirmation that you can use to focus on while you are coloring. I have found that coloring lowers my heart rate and puts me in a state of quiet. Doing this, I am more receptive to Spirit so I use this time to say my affirmations over and over until they become a part of my consciousness.

I missed you last week, but kept my focus on World Prayer which is the Daily Word for today.

As we live our lives, there is a saying that you always hear “sometimes life gets in the way.”  Isn’t it funny to think that sometimes life gets in its own way.  I think that is what we say when we let our humanness forget where our source is.

God is our source and when we put God first, everything works in Divine Order.   The affirmation this week is one of my new favorites and will be the first thing I say every morning this week after my puppies, Jack and Jill,  and I finish our gratitude moment.  It will also be my meditation affirmation and my coloring affirmation.  I want to ensure that this comes to me as easy as breathing when I am having one of my…life gets in the way moments.

Here is your affirmation for the week

One Power

GOD IS THE ONE PRESENCE AND POWER IN MY LIFE.

We may turn to others when making important decisions, trusting that their wisdom and experience will help guide us in making the right choices. We may also make a choice based on fear or indecision rather than sound judgment.

Whatever is before me today, this I know: God is the one presence and one power that I can trust absolutely. God is my light, my wisdom, my source of inspiration and guidance. Even in the darkest moments of my life, God is with me, holding my hand and leading me to my highest good.

I no longer give control to things or other people: God is the one presence and power in my life.

My speech and my proclamation were not with plausible words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power.—1 Corinthians 2:4

As Always…Wishing you peace, abundant blessings and prayers answered.

Affirmation Tuesday

Welcome to Affirmation Tuesday!

After tearing through the Caribbean, leaving more than 1,000 dead in Haiti, Hurricane Matthew hammered the coast of the southeastern United States, leaving behind a trail of coastal destruction, wind damage and freshwater flooding that claimed an additional 26 lives here in America.

When tragedy strikes it is important to "Let go and let God" because Divine Order is always at work.  When we feel out of control, we "Let go and let God" because God is always in control.  

Letting go allows us to free our blessings so they come to us, and it also allows God's work to be done.  As I said last week, we may not always know the why, but we do know that all things work to our good.

Let go and let God!  Free your blessings so that they find the way to you.  Your blessings will come in full and on time.  Remember not on our time, but on God's time.

Each Tuesday I will provide a free coloring page and an affirmation that you can use to focus on while you are coloring. I have found that coloring lowers my heart rate and puts me in a state of quiet. During this time I am more receptive to Spirit so I use this time to say my affirmations over and over until they become a part of my consciousness.

Here is your affirmation for the week

I let go and welcome God’s blessings.

When was the last time I received a wonderful surprise or an outcome far exceeded my expectations? How did this happen without my planning? It did so through the activity of God.

Sometimes I may need a reminder to set aside my personal will and struggle in order to let blessings in. When I release my need to be in charge, I expand my willingness to receive. As I let go and quiet my thoughts, my mind takes on a gentle receptivity. What a refreshing gift—just being in the Presence.

In this state of peace, I open to guidance, to answered prayers, to blessings beyond imagination. I let go and welcome God’s blessings.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.—Matthew 11:29-30

Affirmation Tuesday!

As Matthew spins his merry way.  Remember, all things have a purpose…even when we do not understand.

I place the prayer of protection around everyone and everything in Matthew's path....The Light of God surrounds us, the Love of God enfolds us, the Power of God protects us and the Presence of God watches over us...wherever we are God is and all is well. Amen.

I will add the pray of protection by James Dillet Freeman to my daily prayers, to keep the light, love, power and presence of God first in my day and always present in my thoughts and actions.

Here is your affirmation for the week

Pray for Others
My prayers for others are gifts from the heart.

Prayer is a gift of the heart that you can give again and again. Whether your prayer is for a loved one, a friend, neighbor, or a complete stranger, when you pray for others you give the highest blessing possible. As you do, place your faith in the unconditional love and wisdom of God. Let go of the person and situation, releasing any expectation of specific outcomes.

Begin by centering your thoughts on God. Feel God’s love within and know this love surrounds, uplifts, and blesses all. Let the following words be the meditation of your heart as you pray:

You are enfolded in God’s loving care. You are guided, whole and well, peaceful and free. I affirm for you the highest and best, knowing that only good can come to you.

Pray for one another.—James 5:16
