"There are two ways to live; you can live as if nothing is a miracle or you can
live as if everything is a miracle." -Albert Einstein
I Am Courageous
I am aware there is One Eternal Presence forever demonstrating Itself through me. In this moment, I know my Oneness with the Divine Essence I call God. The kingdom of heaven is real, and It is within me now. Today, I discover my perfection.
I know Spirit within is my guide. Life is easy, for I am in the Divine flow. I surrender to this Divine flow for I Am courageous filled with trust and faith. My word the divine logos dissolves any negative though or belief and reveals my perfection. My life transforms for the better as I change my thoughts. Good flows through me to all; it shines through my thoughts and actions and harmonizes my body. I am revitalized, manifesting perfection in every cell, organ and function of my body. Joy harmonizes my mind, which love radiates in my heart. I have complete confidence in my knowledge and understanding of the Law of Mind. I know what Law is, I know how to use It and I achieve definite results. All my wishes are coming true.
My thoughts are in perfect harmony with my desires. I confidently expect my word to manifest my good. I know the Law of Mind is responding in everything I think and do for it is a servant to serve. Ask and it is given. I claim my good now. And so it. Amen
