Positive Daily Inspiration – August 23, 2022 – Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

“In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.”
Isaiah 30:15

“God abides in us, and God’s love is perfected in us.” 1 John 4:12

This is based, in part, on James Dillet Freeman’s writing “Because He Is Love.”

Let us pray … in awareness and in realization that God’s love is with us now.

Who of us does not have times when he or she thinks they are not good enough to go to God for help? But God does not help us because God approves or disapproves of what we are doing. God helps us because God is God, because God is life, because God is love.

God does not help us because we are good. God helps us because God is good. God does not help us because we deserve help or love us because we deserve love. Do you love only those who have no flaws? And would you think that you can love where God cannot? Love sees things perfect in spite of flaws. We do not have to be perfect to lay hold of love’s perfection.

God does not answer our prayers to reward us because we have been good, or deny our prayers to punish us because we have been bad. God does not strike a bargain. God does not work for pay. God gives.

Accept the gift of God’s love in the silence of prayer …

Our God does not wait until we give ourselves to God to give the Divine to us. God seeks us even when we flee from God. And where can we flee from God – a God who is everywhere present and at hand?

God has us in the Divine heart, whether we have God in our hearts our not.

We do not have to be the most willing for God to choose us, or the most capable for God to use us.

It is not only good people that God has used to do God’s good. It is not only brave people that God has used to win God’s victory. It is not only righteous people that God has used to establish right.

So, today, in prayer, we hold out our hearts and we pray. God, whatever my heart may have felt, love through it. Divine love, manifest thyself through me.

In the silence of prayer and ask for God’s love to manifest through you.

We hold out our minds and we pray: God, whatever my mind may have thought, think through it. We hold out our hands and we pray: God, whatever my hands may have done, act through them.

We know that God does not give God-strength only to the strong, or God wisdom only to the wise, or God joy only to the joyful, or God blessing only to the blessed.

God does not help us because of what we are. God helps us because of what God is. God is love.

I decree through the power of Jesus Christ that you will have a renewal in many phases of your mind. In this Lenten period, I decree that you will view yourself anew; you will start to see and recognize the God qualities that are in you, manifesting through you.

You will not deny these through false belief in inferiority. Rather you will carry the strength, the banner of God, high in the way you carry yourself and the way you act, speak, and think.

Thank You, dear, wonderful God of love

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen.
