DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS:  30 Days of Prayer-Day 19 “Prayer to Manifestation”

Meditative Thought: Inherent in every desire is the seed of its fulfillment.” – Deepak Chopra

Deepak speaks of faith.  Know from the beginning; your prayers are being fulfilled.  It is done.  It is complete.  The Universe never says no; yes is always answer; yes to your highest good.

Manifestation doesn’t always look the way we want it to, but it always shows up.  Blessings might not show up when we want them to, but they always show up.  Have faith that the Universe is working for you highest good.  Release your expectations of how God should bless you.

Spiritual Assignment:  Today, Pray without expectations except one; know that God is blessing you right now with a BIG FAT YES!

Affirmation:  Just for this moment… just for this breath, I say yes to the Universe and the Universe says yes to me.  Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS:  30 Days of Prayer-Day 18 “Pray until Something Happens”

Meditative Thought: “And you pray to be free, and for your burden to subside.  Hold on I’m the answer!  Pray till you realize, realize.” – Rickie Byars Beckwith’s lyrics from the song, When the Rivers Rising.

Prayer is about finding your freedom in the midst of bondage.  Prayer is the key that unlocks the door to your heart’s desire.  When the river of life is raging, hold on, and don’t give up.  Your prayer brings your attention back to God.  Stay in prayer until the Universe awakens your consciousness.  Prayer is the answer to all your problems.  In the prayer you’ll find your problem will dissolve, until the truth is the only thing that is standing.

Spiritual Assignment:  Keep Praying until something happen.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment… just for this breath, I keep praying until something shifts.  And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS:  30 Days of Prayer-Day 17 “Prayer Shifts Our Consciousness”

Meditative Thought: “We are affirming, declaring, and claiming the truth about the condition we desire to see manifested, realizing and convincing ourselves of what is true in the absolute realm.”- Linda Watson, ALSP.

Linda Watson, Agape License Spiritual Practitioner, reminds us that the prayer is about changing our consciousness.  No matter what the “story” or situation is; our prayer is to shift our minds away from the problem and look towards the solution.  The solution is always God.  If you are in need of money, your prayer is to connect with the spirit of abundance.  If you are dealing with relationship issues, your prayer is to remember that you are love; therefore you can love.  If you are faced with health challenges, your prayer is to tap into the Divine energy of wholeness.  Release your “story” and embrace your glory.

Spiritual Assignment:  Today, examine the situation you are praying about.  Find the spiritual quality that is sought to emerge from the story.  Here are a few examples: Money problems, prayer to know your Abundance; Relationship issues, prayer to know self-love; Work problems, pray to know your divine creativity; Sickness and health challenges, prayer to reveal your wholeness.  Take time to journal about your insights.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment… just for this breath, I declare my divine truth within every situation.  Every problem reveals God as a solution.  And so it is. Amen.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS:  30 Days of Prayer-Day 16 “It is Done as We Believe”

Meditative Thought: “We cannot believe in a Divine Power that responds more quickly to one than to another.” – Ernest Holmes, Prayer

I love that quote.  Sometimes we believe that someone has an extra blessing or more God power than someone else.  Spirit does not discriminate.  The Universe does not know whether you are a good person or a bad person.  Prayers manifest as we believe.  The scripture says, “It is done as you believe.”  Be aware of your motivation for praying.  If we pray out of fear, fear is the energy that the Universe will use.  If you pray for money, out of fear of being broke, the fear wins out every time.  Fear is of the same energy as faith.  The Universe reacts to our energy; vibrations; emotions…not the words we speak.   The law works no matter what.  Be aware of not only what you prayer for, but how you pray for it.

Spiritual Assignment:  Today, pray with the awareness of your emotions and vibrations.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, my prayers are filled with high vibrations.  All my intentions are immersed in love.  And so it is. Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS:  30 Days of Prayer-Day 15 “Prayer that Unites”

Meditative Thought: “Prayer is a tool that unites the world.” – Skip Jennings, “Spirit Explosion”                                                                                                                                                                                               

Because we are one with the spirit of God, when you pray for someone else, you are praying for yourself.  With that in mind we pray only for the highest good for everyone.  I am always looking for the opportunity to pray.

Spiritual Assignment:  Today, search for opportunities to pray for someone; I know you will find them.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment… just for this breath, I am aware of my oneness with the most high.  I sing a song, only I can sing.  I am playing in the playground of the Universe where everyone is welcome.  When I speak a word for others, I bless myself.   And so it is. Amen.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS:  30 Days of Prayer-Day 14 “Affirmative Prayer Step 6”

Meditative Thought: Affirmative Prayer Step 6 – Release:  Once you have said the prayer, you must release and let it go.  Release the prayer; allow God to be God.  We hold on to our prayers because we don’t have the faith that it will come to fruition.  As long as we hold on tight, the prayer can’t expand; it can’t breathe; it can’t grow.  It goes no further than your mouth.  Our prayers must fly into the cosmos.  “I let go and I let God,” is a mantra that I use all the time. Release is the first step to serenity.  Turn your cares and worries over to God.  Release is true freedom.  It builds our faith.  We begin to believe that God is in control.

Spiritual Assignment:  Today, begin to release your prayer into the Universe so that God can be God.  Journal your experiences, I would love to hear from you.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment…just for this breath, I release and I let God.  And so it is.  Amen.

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS:  30 Days of Prayer-Day 13 “Affirmative Prayer Step 5”

Meditative Thought: Affirmative Prayer Step 5 – Thanksgiving:  Meister Eckhart wrote, “If the only Prayer you said in your life was ‘Thank You,’ that would suffice.”  This stage moves us into faith; faith that it is done.  Thank you is that overwhelming appreciation for God and its infinite expression of giving.  The more we say thank you, the more we have to be thankful for.

Spiritual Assignment:  Today, say thank you every chance you get.

Affirmation:  Just for this moment; just for this breath, I am grateful.  Amen

DAILY SPIRITUAL NUGGETS:  30 Days of Prayer-Day 11 “Affirmative Prayer Step 3”

Meditative Thought: Affirmative Prayer Step 3 – Unification:  The unification stage is about awakening to our oneness with The Universe.  “God is, I am,” is a defining affirmation that helped me to expand my Unity consciousness.  During this step, I speak words like, “One Life, one spirit, one mind, one God and I know my life is one with God.  Rev. Kathleen McNamara, from Agape says to stay in the unification step until you know that you are one with God.  Don’t move from this stage until, without a doubt, you can say that you and God are one.  When this unification awareness happens, you activate the power of the Universe.  The more you realize your oneness with God, the more you are able to activate Divine power in your life.

Spiritual Assignment: Today, activate the unification vibration in your life.  Speak an affirmation, “God is, I am.”

Affirmation:  Just for this moment… just for this breath, God is, I am. And so it is.  Amen.
