Awakening |
 |
Just as the sun awakens us to a new day, the spirit
of God within awakens us to divine glory in all creation.
This glory, within and around us, is everywhere we look
and in every situation we encounter.
With your
heart centered in God, you can quiet your thoughts
and meditate on the wonder of all creation
and your oneness with it. Take a deep breath, become
comfortable, and gently release the cares of the day.
Your sole purpose at this moment is to experience God … and
you begin to do so now as you relax in prayer and hold
these words in your heart:
|
|
I awaken to Your spirit within
me, dear God, and see Your presence active in all
creation.
God, my sacred moments of communing with
You are truly a blessing. In these moments, I open
my mind
and heart to You. I am attuned to Your spirit of
peace within.
In a growing awareness of Your peace-filled
spirit, a new sense of tranquility fills me. I
am serenely aware of Your abiding presence, upholding
and sustaining
me at all times.
Nothing can disturb the peace of my soul as I
spend this time in silent prayer with You …
|
I am enfolded in the guiding
light of God.
Dear God, in the same way that the
sun’s warming rays embrace the earth,
Your loving spirit embraces me.
During this holy time, I find peace in Your spirit, and I feel the assurance
of Your guiding wisdom illumining me … soothing me … guiding me.
As I bask in Your light, I awaken in mind and spirit. I open my mind to Your
wisdom and to the answers You will reveal to me at the perfect time.
I release every concern to You, dear God, in the realization that You are gently
guiding me to wonderful, fulfilling experiences.
I am calm and confident, knowing that every concern is in Your care and that
all is well as I enter a silent moment of prayer …
|
The healing spirit of God
is active within me, restoring energy and vitality.
As I continue in this prayerful state, my mind is peaceful, my body is relaxed,
my heart is filled with joy in the knowledge that Your spirit, God, is active
within me. I relax even further now, resting in an awareness of Your healing
spirit—a powerful and constant presence.
I am Your divine creation. You created me to live in peace and wholeness, to
experience energy and vitality. I am enlivened by this sacred truth and awakened
to Your spirit of wholeness.
Every part of my body is infused with Your glorious spirit. I feel it energizing
me, revitalizing me, and filling me with a sense of peace.
Certain that healing is taking place within me and those I pray for, I breathe
in Your life-giving spirit and feel Your healing activity deep within as I
return to the silence of prayer …

Awakened to the all-providing
spirit of God, I am prospered.
You, dear God, bless all creation by providing the substance needed to thrive
and grow.
In this prayerful moment, I awaken to Your all-providing
spirit. I feel it within … I see it working
in my life, and I am at peace.
In faith, I look to You, dear God, to supply all that I need. You fill me with
hope and peace. Deep within my heart, I know that I am being divinely cared
for and that every facet of my life is blessed. I feel secure in Your love
and assured of prosperity.
Thank You, sweet Spirit, for being the source of my good—the constant,
loving fountain of my supply. With this attitude of thanksgiving, I spend a
moment in silent prayer …
|
As you bring this prayer time
to a close, give thanks for the spiritual awakening
that is taking place within you. Know that the
spirit of God—the glorious spirit within you—continues
to work in your life as you pray the “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!
