DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 10 “Surrender to the Stillness”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 10 “Surrender to the Stillness”

Meditative Thought: We can only truly know God in the stillness. Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” The Psalmist had the experience that God would be known in the quiet time of meditation. Our recognition of God is deepened through our time spent in the stillness. We must surrender to the practice of knowing and experiencing God through the silence.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, surrender to the activity of knowing God and allow it to be your first priority.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I stand on holy ground and my journey is blessed. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 5 “Whose Life Is It Anyway?”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 5 “Whose Life Is It Anyway?”

Meditative Thought: When you feel the need to control the outcome of every situation and you think things are not going your way, ask yourself the question, “Whose life is it anyway?” This simple but divine contemplation will align your consciousness with the truth. Your life is the life of God; therefore you are free to relax. When we choose to operate from a place of surrender, we have the power to live a life that is powerful and filled with meaning.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, relax in God and allow your highest potential to unfold. When challenges appear and life seems to take you off track, ask yourself the question, “Whose life is it anyway?” Go within and listen for your answer.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I move, live, and have my being in God. All my intentions are blessed. It is done and so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 4 “Don’t Fight God”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 4 “Don’t Fight God”

Meditative Thought: Surrender does not mean to give up. Surrender is the relinquishing of the battle. When we decide not to fight God, our life will be full of ease and grace. Sometimes we know what we need to do; the Universe has given us guidance, but as my mother used to say, “You’re just hard-headed.” The power of God flows with ease; it is our stubbornness that blocks the flow. Trust your spiritual connection; tap into your spiritual authority. You will know when god is speaking to you. There is an overwhelming feeling of peace and serenity. When we fight God, there is only frustration, worry, and fear. Trust your inner guide; it only wants the best for you.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, relinquish the fight. When you know there is something that God has directed you to do, don’t wait to move on it. When you are sure, step out on faith, relax, and surrender. It’s all good.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, my life is the life of God and I move with ease and grace. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 2 “Surrender to Your Higher Self”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Surrendering to God – Day 2 “Surrender to Your Higher Self”

Meditative Thought: Surrendering to your Higher Self is letting go of the control. We must learn to relax and allow God to be God as us. Our life is the life of the Universe that has a grand plan for our highest good to unfold. We must stop controlling the way we want God to perform in our lives. God cannot be put in a box, leashed, and controlled on command. “Let go and let God do the God thing.”

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, allow God to be God in your life. Mindfully release the control, allowing the Universe to flow as your life. Today, when making a decision, turn within and ask God for guidance.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I surrender to a power greater than myself. I live my greatest potential in the mind of God. And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 26 “The Power to Share the Message”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 26 “The Power to Share the Message”

Meditative Thought: When we share our insights and our spiritual downloads we are giving birth to new and fresh ideas with others. Your insights could help someone shift to a deeper understanding of who they really are. Your words could spark a deeper revelation of the Spirit. The Universe has a message for them but it is fear and the ego that block us from delivering that message. But we must be mindful of who you share with. Not everyone is open or shares the same consciousness your work has developed. When it is time to share you will know who and when to share with. Be empowered and know that the right person needs to hear what you have to say. Find your spiritual posse, a group that freely shares their own insights while embracing their spiritual growth as you have yours. Like-minded, kindred spirits help to empower your journey. Your tribe is waiting.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, meditate on new ideas that you are about to give birth to. Allow God to guide you on how to present your creation to the world. Allow Spirit to tell you who is the right person with whom to share the message. Today is the day you step out of your fear and follow your intuition.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am the tool that uplifts this planet. And so I am. And so I let it be. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 24 “Empowerment Consciousness”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 24 “Empowerment Consciousness”

Meditative Thought: There is nothing we can do to attain Empowerment. It is a consciousness, an awareness that we have everything we need. Empowerment consciousness takes time and spiritual work, cultivated by the practice of prayer and meditation. Empowerment comes from our connection with the divine. Our unity is the only power that is lasting. True empowerment comes from our relationship with God. As our consciousness expands, our relationship deepens and our empowerment grows.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, set the intention to up-level your consciousness with prayer, meditation, and affirmations. If you are aware of your empowerment, your life will expand. Today, move with the knowledge that you are empowered with the grace of God.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I remember to remember. And so I am. And so I let it be. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 20 “The Power of the Peacemaker”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 20 “The Power of the Peacemaker”

Meditative Thought: Blessed are the Peacemakers is what Jesus said during the Sermon on the Mount. When we say yes to keeping the peace within our lives and our community, the challenge is great, but worth it. To be a true Peacemaker we must be empowered by the power of God and stay reminded that the Universe is Peace; therefore we can activate peace in every situation. Peace is our natural place of being, active in all things. When we choose to hold the consciousness of peace, we must know that it is active no matter what our external eyes may see. Intention to see peace in a land of war and violence is the choice to empower the planet. There is power in our commitment to hold the peace and there are blessings that we get to share in. When we pray and meditate for the power to hold the peace, we activate a divine mission that only a few will ever be blessed with. When we can see peace, we see God, and that is the blessing.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, set the intention to hold the peace. When the energy is tested by confrontation, begin to hold a vibration of peace. Be mindful of the importance of your vibration of peace. You are the light, so allow your light to shine.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am free to activate God. I am free to see Peace moving in my life.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 6 “The Cocoon of Empowerment”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 6 “The Cocoon of Empowerment”

Meditative Thought: A cocoon is a place of transformation. A gestation period takes place during this miracle; what entered the cocoon is not what exits. During this transformation we must prepare for the change. The question to ask is, “What is seeking to emerge from this cocoon?” The question is an activator for your own awareness that a shift is ready to take place. The question is also a tool for empowerment. We know that we are not standing still doing nothing. We know that there is an up-leveling of our soul that is going on, and when we are ready, we will take on the vision that is pulling our existence to a higher level. Like the caterpillar that goes into a shell to transform, you, too, shall awaken anew, spread your wings, and soar.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, place yourself in a cocoon of The Divine. Be still and know that you are wrapped in God. Take the time to ask the question, “What is seeking to emerge from this cocoon?” As you move through your day, have faith that you will receive an answer. When the insight comes, you are ready to allow the Universe to take over. Empower your vision with the grace of God. Know that all is well and you are being held in the hand of Mother-Father-God.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I am god’s divine idea and I am ready to fly! Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 4 “Empowering the World”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGET: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 4 “Empowering the World”

Meditative Thought: When we understand that our life has purpose because we are living, we begin to live a purposeful life. From this awareness we will see our life vision. We will take part in what God has called us to do. My Friends, you are the tool the Universe has chosen to bring forth new and amazing ideas for this planet. Only you can complete the calling. As you begin to activate and participate in your divine gifts, you will empower the world. You will inspire everyone you meet to be the best they can be.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, decide how you will inspire the world to greatness. Set the intention to empower your community. It only takes one person to start a chain reaction. It does not have to be a big act; it can be the smallest thing, like picking up a piece of litter. But if this act is filled with big intentions, it will set the world on fire. Remember, you are the spark.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I bring forth great and new ideas. I am the spark of eternal fire that transforms this planet. And so it is.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 3 “Self-Esteem to Empowerment”

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS: 31 Days of Empowerment – Day 3 “Self-Esteem to Empowerment”

Meditative Thought: I once heard a spiritual leader say, “If you are looking for self-esteem, do estimable acts.” I believe there is a more expansive way of understanding that principle. Self-esteem comes from an awareness of who and what you are, which then leads to participating in estimable acts. When we see our true divine self and recognize our oneness in the Universe, our overall consciousness is elevated; we begin to love ourselves, and this in turns leads to admirable action. Everything we do come from the knowing of who we are and that is true empowerment.

Today’s Spiritual Assignment: Today, define what self-esteem mean to you. Make a list of all the things that you can do to elevate your awareness that you truly are. Prayer and meditation are at the top of the list for connecting with your divine self. Choose one task, small or great, it does not matter. While you are participating in that assignment, remember who and what you are. Remind yourself that ‘you do because you are;’ not the reverse. At the end of the day, journal about your experience.

Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, I recognize my self-esteem comes from my connection with God. And so it is, and so I let it be.
