"I Recognize the Blessings in My Life"

God is all there is, ever has bee, and forever will be. Divine Intelligence is present in every moment of my life as every idea, thought, feeling and experience.

I know my existence is a demonstration of Truth. Spirit permeates my being. I awaken now, knowing my awareness shines the light of love on everything I see. Because this love emanates from the deepest and most genuine place in my soul, it is reflecting love back to me. I recognize the blessings in my life and embrace them all. I am ready, willing and able to receive! I call forth the Law of Attraction and place a demand on It to multiply my good abundantly.

Law is naturally and effortlessly creating my life in the image and likeness of Truth. In gratitude, I release my word, knowing God works for my greatest good and the highest expression of my perfection. And so it is.

I give of my time, talent and treasures because I authentically desire to do so. I know I can say yes of no as I choose to with no regrets or guilt. What I say and do is said and done lovingly and from my heart. I am kind to others and receive kindness in return. I let go of the” shoulds” toward myself and others and just allow. Instead I enjoy my life and love being me. Life is good.

With great love and deep thanks, I release my word to the Creative Power of the Universe knowing it is acted upon. It is done. And so it is. Amen.

Reverend Maryum's Weekly Prayer

"I Set My Intentions"

I recognize the One Power and Presence expressing in, through, and as me in this sacred unity of consciousness, I resound with Spirit and It shows up in my life as wisdom and right action. I Am that I Am. I am a beloved of the Beloved. Spirit is in and all around me now and always. I am surrounded by Divine love and connect to the embrace of God.

I wisely set my intentions, allowing nothing to disturb or distract me from giving my undivided attention to my purpose. I am led by Spirit to easily accomplish all things necessary for the fulfillment of my desires. Knowing each time I focus my attention, I create a new beginning. I am confident new and wonderful ways of living appear as present realities in my life. In clarity of purpose, I keep my focus on my highest priorities as I intelligently and peacefully move in the direction of my goals, accepting them as already completed in the absolute realm of Divine Mind. Any challenges are transformed into wonderful blessings. I experience joy, fun and I am inspired to move forward. When I feel out of alignment with Spirit I prayer and drop in the creative vortex. I let go of any past beliefs that may have held me back by letting them simply fall away. I am filled with the energetic vibration of the Oneness of God which gives me strength, courage and determination to march forward toward my divine purpose. I hear the still, small voice whispering It’s wisdom and guidance to me with each step. I am never alone for I know my angels, guides and teachers are there when I ask for assistance.

Grateful this Truth exists for me, I wisely set my priorities and my vision for an inspired life this year of 2016. Spirit moves me toward the people, places and opportunities that create incredible, dazzling outcomes. I release these words of truth into the Infinite Law of the Universe. I feel it and I claim it now as done. And so it is. Amen

This week's quote: “We approach and contact the Larger Spirit through our own spirit and conscious mind.” \Ernest Holmes, The Science of Mind

Reverend Maryum's Weekly Prayer

I Am Free to Be Me

God is all there is. Infinite Spirit is the totality of being; there is nothing beyond It, outside It, or apart from It. God is Love and Intelligence. God is the energy of the Universe and the creative use of that energy. I am one with Infinite Spirit.

Before a flower can blossom in the sunlight, it must first grow through dark soil. Before a butterfly can dance through the air, it must first evolve within a dark cocoon. In this realization if it seems that I am being held back from achieving some goal, I realize that this is an opportunity of growth for me. I am temporarily in a dark, seemingly restrictive space in my life, I pray my way into the light of a new day. Like the flower and the butterfly, I too, emerge strong and free. I leave behind any restricting habit, belief or limitation. I claim and feel that I am transformed and I am aligned with the wisdom of the I Am presence. I enjoy the wonderful exhilaration of being the new awakened me and I am an open conduit of the Divine flow. The freedom I feel to be who I am now is pure joy. I am free to be me!

Gratitude fills my being as I know this Truth. I deepen my connection with the Divine through gratitude. I accept that my life is the perfect reflection of Divine Goodness. I accept the fabulousness that now comes my way. With faith, I release my word to the Law. I feel it. I know it, and I claim it. And so it is. Amen

I Am One with the Creator.

Spirit is all there is and my all. It is my health, wealth my happiness and peace. I am one with the Creator. I am the cosmic force of love.

I begin this day with high resolve to love myself and others. My mind is the director of my life, and Spirit as Law is that which carries out my thoughts and opens my heart.

Beginning today, I choose to create heaven on earth as my life. My body and health is perfect and whole. Abundance and love are all around me and it is God’s good pleasure to give me the kingdom.

I am grateful for this perfect life, the perfection of God; perfect me and my perfect being. I release any preconceived ideas of what I deserve and release any unconscious limiting beliefs.

This week's quote: ““Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.” Paul Boese

Reverend Maryum's Weekly Prayer

Forgiveness Sets Me Free

God is all there is, the Infinite creator of all. My God essence is my perfect life. It is from this place that I love, move and have my being. As the individualized expression of the Divine, I rely on my creative intelligence, knowing it is Divine activity.

I choose forgiveness today. Divine activity operates as me, providing the strength to forgive myself and others. Forgiveness is a cleansing process of releasing from my mind and heart those interpretations and perceptions of others, myself, and any experience that bind me to the past. In truth, I am a free spiritual being made in the image and of the qualities and essence of Spirit. I now activate spirituality in all my relations by first acknowledging the perfection in everyone. The path to my greater happiness and wellbeing is unblocked by seeing the connection of all life, the Oneness. I remove any judgment around any experiences in which I felt harmed and enter into communion with God. My heart is healed as I embody Divine love.

I am at peace, having liberated myself through forgiveness. I gratefully celebrate my freedom of mind, body and heart. I let go with deep truth and faith. It is done.

And so it is. Amen

Reverend Maryum's Weekly Prayer

Faith not Fear

There is only One Mind-the Perfect Mind of God. All I thank, say and do is for the glory of the Divine. I am a reflection of that Creative Power and my faith makes me strong.

The qualities of the Divine are my inheritance; therefore, I am love, light and creativity. I feel a steadfast faith deep within my soul and I realize that is my truth. Any fearful thoughts that try to come into my mind are released and eliminated. I rejoice in the wonder of my life’s journey. Regardless of past hurts and painful memories I know that life is an affirming experience and I celebrate it. With grace and ease, I allow Spirit to use me to create my world and my current experiences are filled with wonder and joy. I am in alignment with the Creator, the All-Good. There is no limit to the connectedness of Spirit. I am It; It is me. I am fully alive, awake and aware of the present moment. In the way I choose to live my life, I am the glory of the Divine. Life everywhere present, is sacred and infinite. As God indwells me, my life is lived for the highest and best for all concerned. I am in alignment with love, peace and harmony.

Thankfulness for the great life I live is deep and profound. I am filled with gratitude for all the blessings I experience this holiday season and throughout the year. I enjoy each precious moment. My word is released into the Law knowing my faith has created my heart’s desires and ultimate reality. And so it is.

This week's quote: “God stands at the door and knocks; WE MUST OPEN IF WE ARE TO RECEIVE.” - Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind

Reverend Maryum's Weekly Prayer

Spirit Inspired Patience

There is only the One Presence-God. God continuously knocks at the door of my consciousness because it is the nature of God to love unconditionally. I recognize myself as the treasured expression of God right here and now. I am truly loved, supported, blessed, and nourished by the Divine Love flowing through me, as me, and for me.

I embody Spirit-inspired patience which allows for the unfoldment of the highest good. I am not waiting for something good to happen. I know something good is happening, and I am ready to receive it. Another way to describe my patience is that I am letting go of worry and concern and letting God express wisdom through me. With this combination of releasing the negative and accepting the good, I recognize the best options or considerations as this bright new reality is being birthed through me. I pay attention to the Divine call of my soul by turning within and listening to what my heart has to tell me. I trust God’s will is always the grandest vision. I choose to look beyond where I have been and open to a whole new vista of infinite possibility. The past is the past and has no place in this now moment. I accept these creative changes that easily take place, and I fully manifest this new paradigm. As I let go and let God, I don’t react to situations during this time of shift growth, and change; I respond from Spirit within. Relaxed and at ease, I go about doing what is mine to do. I allow space for others to do what is theirs to do. This paves the way clear for a divine solution for the vision to unfold. Nothing can stand in my way, for I am in perfect time and space. Everywhere I am is holy ground. Dazzle me God!

I take one step toward Spirit just as Spirit takes two steps toward me. I am receiving my blessings and grace is happening in all forms and in every area of my life continuously. I am excited and grateful. Oh, how good it is! I release my word into the Law with a deep connected feeling tone and claim this truth. It is done right here, and right now. And so it is. Amen

This week's quote: “There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.” W. Clement Stone

Reverend Maryum's Weekly Prayer

I Forgive and I am Free of the Past

There is One Divine Presence, a Source that is the creator and sustainer of all. It is the intelligence, energy and activity expressing within and without the seen and unseen Universe. It’s essence is Love, Peace, and Truth. I am a wave in the ocean of Spirit. I am one with the One.

My intelligence and intuition are born of a magnificent creator, and I am always learning and growing. If I believe someone has mistreated me in some way, I seek to see things differently or invest my trust more wisely. I let go of the ego and I seek to discover the freedom of forgiveness. I forgive to release others from resentment in my heart; I also release myself. I feel my energy expand and my health improve as I release these stagnant toxic thoughts. I let go of holding hostage to the past, I give myself the gift of inner peace and harmony. As I forgive one person, I discover other opportunities to forgive. Each act of forgiveness requires strength and courage, and each act sets me free and opens my heart aligning me with the I Am Presence. I am willing to experience a new higher vibrational frequency in my life. I cut the energetic cords that bind me.

I am grateful for this growing realization within me. I give thanks for every inspiration and every experience that has helped me to awaken to this great truth. I release this word to the creative medium of the Law. I know that I am now free and more connected to the loving heart of pure Spirit. It is done. And so it is.
