PRAYER FOR PROTECTION
The light of God surrounds me; The love of God enfolds me; The power of God protects me; The presence of God watches over me. Wherever I am, God is!

Prayers for Guidance
from Adventures in Prayer by Sharon Connors © 2004
Lord, there are times when I think I can’t go on, when stress increases and joy is gone … times when love disappoints me and friends aren’t there. There are times when I’ve prayed and no answer seems to come, when I’ve tried and tried and want to run. Right now, Lord, in faith I come to You. Help me hold fast to the promises You gave. Fill me with trust that Your help is on the way.
Dear God, in these quiet moments I come present to the spectrum of choices that I have today and the one choice that will make all other choices beautiful—to be of service to You and others. I release every choice that would not serve You. I am willing to be Your love in action today. Help me say yes to You through the day.
Dear God, in Whose presence I find joy beyond all measure, in Whose hands I am always safe and sound, in Whose love I discover that I am not alone, that I am joined to all others, help me see with your vision and follow where You lead.
Dear God, quiet me with Your presence and let me rest my driven thinking and behavior into Your peace. Let all my asking and seeking dissolve into Your wisdom and culminate in right action.
Lord of light shine in my darkness and penetrate my fearful confusion and reveal Your will at the center of my being. Embolden me to act in trust that just the other side of my fear is something far better than I can now imagine.
Treatment For
“Unexpected Money”
November, 2007
I dwell in the midst of infinite Abundance.
The Abundance of God is my infinite Source.
The River of Life never stops flowing.
It flows through me into lavish expression.
Good comes to me through unexpected avenues.
God works in myriad ways to bless me.\
I now open my mind to receive my good.
Nothing is too good to be true.
Nothing is too wonderful to happen.
With God as my Source, nothing amazes me.
I give freely and fearlessly into life and
Life gives back to me with fabulous increase.
Blessings come in expected and unexpected ways.
God provides for me in wondrous ways.
I am indeed grateful.
And so it is

UNLIMITED GOOD IS THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOU!
ALL YOU CAN VISUALIZE, ALL YOU CAN PERSONALLY HOPE, DREAM, WONDER AND FANCY IN YOUR GREATEST AND FARTHEREST FLIGHTS OF IMAGINATION IS BUT THE SMALLEST PORTION OF THE WHOLLY WONDERFUL AND GOOD AND GLORIOUS WILL OF GOD. INFINITE LIFE, LOVE, WISDOM, BEAUTY, TRUTH, ALL THIS AND ETERNALLY, ABUNDANTLY MORE IS THE LOVING WILL OF THE LOVING FATHER.IN THE LIGHT OF THIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE WILL OF GOD, LET US DECREE OUR GOOD WITH ALL THE FAITH AND FERVOR WE NOW POSSESS.

MY WILL IS ONE WITH GOD'S WILL.I KNOW THAT MY PERSONAL GOOD COMES FORTH FREELY BECAUSE I CONTINUALLY SEEK NOT MY OWN PERSONAL WILL BUT THE WILL OF GOD, MY FATHER. I KNOW THAT THE WILL OF GOD FOR ME IS EVERY GOOD THING. EVEN WHEN IT IS MY PERSONAL JUDGMENT THAT A CERTAIN THING SHOULD COME TO PASS FOR MY HEALTH OR PROSPERITY, YET WILL I SAY; "NOT MY WILL, OH GOD, BUT THINE BE DONE." I WILL THAT THE WILL OF GOD BE UPPERMOST IN MY CONSCIOUSNESS. I AM WILLING TO CHANGE MY MIND THAT IT BE UNIFIED WITH THE DIVINE WILL. I AM THE ILLUMINED CHILD OF GOD AND I FOLLOW HIS WILL AND HIS WAY. GOD'S WILL FOR ME IS MORE ABUNDANT LIFE. THROUGH HIS POWER IN ME, I AM HEALED.

SPIRITUAL TREATMENT
WHEN WE MAKE A SPIRITUAL COMMITMENT TO THE INDWELLING CHRIST, TO FOLLOW THE PATH HE LEADS US, WE FIND THAT HE WILL TAKE CARE OF US, EVEN IN OUR DARKEST MOMENTS. WHEN IT SEEMS THAT EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD IS AGAINST US, THE CHRIST WILL BE THE INNER LIGHT THAT SHINES IN THAT DARKNESS. WHEN WE ARE BLIND, HE WILL SEE FOR US; HE WILL LEAD US. HE WILL COMFORT US IN OUR SADNESS, HE WILL INSPIRE US IN OUR DESPAIR. WHEN WE FEEL WEAK AND READY TO GIVE UP, HE WILL SUSTAIN US. IN FACT, IT IS IN GIVING UP THAT WE ARE SAVED; IT IS IN LOSING THAT WE WIN. THE GREATEST ADVENTURE WE WILL EVER EMBARK UPON IS THE INNER PATH TOWARD THE "KINGDOM OF GOD". THIS IS AN INFINITE ADVENTURE. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT IS ETERNALLY BEYOND OUR GRASP; IT MEANS THAT LIFE BECOMES MORE INTERESTING AND WONDERFUL ONLY WHEN WE MAKE THE COMMITMENT TO ENTER THE KINGDOM. TO ACTUALLY ENTER THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF ONENESS WITH GOD.
