Positive Daily Inspiration – November 21, 2023 – Thanksgiving Prayer and Meditation

Thanksgiving Prayer and Meditation

a gift from www.PositiveChristianity.net

̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶ o O o ̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶

“Enter into God’s gates with thanksgiving, and into God’s courts with praise: be thankful unto God and bless God’s name. For the LORD is good; God’s mercy is everlasting; and God’s truth endureth to all generations.”
Psalm 107:1

I’d like to share with you an interpretation of The Lord’s Prayer which was written by author James C. Lewis:

“Our Father, who dwells with us, all-powerful is Thy nature. Thy perfection come, Thy good be done, in manifestation as it is in Spirit. Give us this day Divine ideas, and forgive our mistakes, as we forgive the mistakes of others; and lead us not in doubt, but deliver us from ignorance, for Thine is the perfection, the power, and the joy, eternally. Amen.”

As children in Christianity, many learn to sing a song in Sunday School that includes the words:

Count your blessings,
Name them one by one;
Count your many blessings,
See what God has done.

We are here in this prayer place to awaken our spirituality with Thanksgiving. We are here to be grateful for all the lovely things we recall. We are here to prepare our minds and our hearts for a brand-new day ahead. We are here to review the blessings and to be assured of the calm, lasting Presence of our God.

We pause and say thank you, God, for all the blessings that are nourishing and strengthening our soul.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

The spirit of praise and thanksgiving is something we now make a vital, indispensable part of our everyday life. We have a perceptive heart that sees that God bestows upon us much better than we need for our existence.

The mere need for shelter is enriched by warmth and comfort. Food to sustain the body often delights and is served with imagination to please the eye. It is frequently enhanced by interesting conversation and good fellowship. The light and the air and the water necessary to life are set before us in a brilliant sunset over the sea in a masterpiece of Divine Creation. The wind sings a song on a summer night. The rain quenches the earth’s thirst and nourishes beautiful crops and fragrant flowers.

We give thanks for the extras in life, the beauty and that which induces wonder inside of us. We look at our needs and see how simple they are compared to God’s blessings. We take time to go over every blessing and appreciate all the good things God has done for us. We discover that there is far too much beauty and goodness in life to simply fulfill daily purposes. We realize that there is a lavish hand of God that spreads God’s gifts over all the world into every life, touching with grace and generosity every receptive soul.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

Thank You, God. We are aware of the love, the goodness and the benefits from You. We are filled with an uplifting and an overwhelming sense of gratitude as words and feelings merge into a warm flow of gladness and exhilaration. We discover that thankfulness lifts out of depression, out of doubt, elevates our own individual soul to a height of spiritual joy and security. Our life expands as we look for and give thanks for appreciations of God. Praise and thanksgiving make us more aware of the good about us. Our thoughts and prayers reach out to include others.

We count our blessings. We learn that God comes to us in every experience and in every person if we are open to God’s Presence. We find in the accumulation of little joys, of small blessings heaped upon other small blessings, that life adds up to a deep and priceless adventure.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

We each know the Truth of God. THE LOVING PRESENCE OF GOD PROVIDES FOR MY EVERY NEED. I AM THANKFUL FOR WHAT I HAVE AND FOR WHAT I AM ABOUT TO RECEIVE.

In this spirit of thankfulness, we pray, with a very grateful heart.

In a spirit of thanksgiving and overwhelming gratitude, we say silently, thank You, God.

In Jesus Christ’s name. Amen.

Positive Daily Inspiration – November 20, 2023 – Love Is Remembering

Positive Daily Inspiration - November 20, 2023
Love Is Remembering

a gift from www.PositiveChristianity.net

̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶ o O o̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶

“The love of God and peace will be with you.”
2 Corinthians 13:11

A man that I had the honor to work with for many years, was minister and author J. Sig Paulson.

He wrote a classic piece on love that I share with you.

Love is remembering:
To love the Lord, our God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind, with all of our strength;
To love our self;
To love our neighbor as our self;
To owe no one anything but love;

Love is remembering:
To condemn no one, to keep no score of a wrong, to take no delight in the shortcomings or mistakes of others, to bear no grudges.

Love is remembering:
To be patient, kind, generous, resilient;
And be receptive to the highest and best in all.

Love is remembering:
To set others free, to give them living, growing space – not to be possessive or jealous.

Love is remembering:
Not to boast, not to be conceited, not to be rude or thoughtless.

Love is remembering:
To give as we would receive, to forgive that as we would be forgiven, to bless as we would be blessed, to free as we would be freed.

Love is remembering:
To let our light shine, not only when our world seems to be peaceful, harmonious, and in tune but also when it may appear warlike, inharmonious, and out of tune.
Love is not dependent on outer appearances for its operation.
In fair weather and in foul it shines, like the sun, on the deserving and the undeserving; it sends its healing balm on the just and unjust, it shares its treasures with the beautiful and the unbeautiful, the weak and the strong, the lovable and the unlovable.

Love is remembering:
To believe that there is no limit to love’s endurance, no end of its trust, no fading of its hope.
Love can outlast anything; love never fails.

Love is remembering:
To realize that love is the best way of all, that without it all other gifts are “a noisy gong or a clanging symbol.”
Without love all work, sacrifice, knowledge is meaningless.

Love is remembering:
To have faith that though now we perceive reality mostly “through a glass, darkly,” a glass distorted by fear and false beliefs, the timing is inevitably coming when we will be finished with childlike views and will see reality as it truly is.
And when we see reality as it truly is, we see that ALL is love.

Love is remembering:
To let all things be made new in love, and to give ourselves permission to become new creatures of love and life and light.

Love is remembering:
To give thanks that it is our Creators good pleasure to give us the kingdom of love, life, forgiveness, freedom, and that it is our good pleasure to accept the kingdom and share it with our world.

Love is remembering:
To remember that God is love, that in our Creator there is no darkness, condemnation, nor punishment, and that we are extensions of the infinite love.

Love is remembering:
To let go of fear, resentment, and guilt as they come into awareness, either through quiet contemplation or when they are triggered by the actions or inactions of others. Perfect love casts out fear, resentment, guilt.

Love is remembering:
To remember that our neighbor is also an extension of the infinite love, that we are created to be sons and daughters of our Creator, who is love, as we share this beautiful place called Earth.

Love is remembering:
To know these things about love, but to also know that to be blessed we are not only to think about them in the lofty reaches of prayer but to do them in the daily, down to earth relationships and activities of this very practical world where we live.
Love is rooted in heaven, but it must be lived in the earth.
Practice proves loves power and reality.
Love is nothing until it is shared in living.

Love is remembering:
To see yourself as a son or daughter of God and to treat yourself like one, not theoretically but practically, to treat yourself with respect, affection, appreciation, even admiration in the events of your 24-hour day – at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, waking, sleeping, walking, listening, talking, living, thinking, feeling.
After all, you are the handiwork of God, awakening to and unfolding to your potential that Jesus constantly reminded you about.

Love is remembering:
To see others in your life as sons and daughters of God and to treat them as such, not just in moments of deep insight but especially in the tug and pull of every day, ordinary, and extraordinary exchange of thought, feeling, and action.
After all, they, too, are the handiwork of God, awakening to and unfolding their potential.
Jesus told us to love them.

Love is remembering:
To be true to the true nature of our self which is love, to remember who we are, what we are, why we are, and where we are going.

Love is remembering:
To remember that love is our God;
Life is our religion;
Humanity is our church;
Loving our neighbor and our self is our daily worship.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, show me if there is someone in my life who would be blessed by my sharing the Christ light with them.

Help me not to be blind to the needs of others that are near me this day.
Help me to reach out to others with love, compassion, and care.
Help me to raise my world to a new level of peace and understanding through my actions.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen

̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶ o O o ̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶

(Submitted with our great thanks)

“For freedom Christ has set us free … “
Galatians 5:1

A woman calls her husband and sounding really stressed says,

“Please come over here and help me. I have a jigsaw puzzle, and I can’t figure out how to get it started. I’ve been working on it for hours!!!”

Her husband asks, “What is it supposed to be when it is finished?”

The wife says, “According to the picture on the box, it’s a tiger.”

Her husband decides to go over and help with the puzzle.

She lets him in the room and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table.

He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says, “First of all, no matter what we do, we’re not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a tiger.”

He takes her hand and says, “Second, I want you to relax.

Let’s have a nice cup of tea, and then … ” he sighed, ” … Let’s put all these Frosted Flakes back in the box.”

__________

The minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building.

Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The substitute wanted to know what to play.

“Here’s a copy of the service,” he said impatiently. “But, you’ll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances.”

During the service, the minister paused and said, “Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up.”

At that moment, the substitute organist played “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

And that is how the substitute became the regular organist!

___________

A contestant on “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” had reached the final plateau. If she answered the next question correctly, she would win $1,000,000. If she answered incorrectly, she would pocket only the $32,000-milestone money.

And as she suspected it would be, the million-dollar question was no pushover. It was, “Which of the following species of birds does not build its own nest, but instead lays its eggs in the nests of other birds? Is it

A) the condor;

B) the buzzard;

C) the cuckoo; or

D) the vulture?”

The woman was on the spot. She did not know the answer.

And she was doubly on the spot because she had used up her 50/50 Lifeline and her Audience Poll Lifeline. All that remained was her Phone-a-Friend Lifeline, and the woman had hoped against hope that she would not have to use it. Mainly because the only friend that she knew would be home she didn’t think she knew anything about birds.

But the contestant had no alternative. She called her friend and gave her the question and the four choices. The friend responded unhesitatingly: “That’s easy. The answer is C: The cuckoo.”

The contestant had to make a decision and make it fast. She considered employing a reverse strategy and giving any answer except the one that her friend had given her. And considering that her friend was not a bird person, that would seem to be the logical thing to do. On the other hand – the friend had responded with such confidence, such certitude, that the contestant could not help but be persuaded.

“I need an answer,” said the host.

Crossing her fingers, the contestant said, “C: The cuckoo.”

“Is that your final answer?” asked the host.

“Yes, that is my final answer.”

Two minutes later, the host said, “I regret to inform you that that answer is … absolutely correct. You are now a millionaire!”

Three days later, the contestant hosted a party for her family and friends – including the woman who had helped her win the million dollars.

“Jenny, I just do not know how to thank you,” said the contestant. “Because of your knowing the answer to that final question, I am now a millionaire. And do you want to know something? It was the assuredness with which you answered the question that convinced me to go with your choice. By the way … HOW did YOU know the right answer?”

“Oh, come on,” said the friend. “Everybody knows that cuckoos don’t build nests. They live in clocks.”

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

A BLESSING FOR YOUR CHURCH

This is God’s house.

May all who come here not only find out about God but find God.

May there be beauty in this place, but especially may it be a place where men and women become aware of the beauty in themselves.

May this be a place of worship. May this be a place of instruction. May this be a place of singing. May this be a place of prayer.

But for us who worship and take instruction and sing and pray, may this always be a place of inner-stillness, where we may listen and hear when God speaks.

May whoever ministers here minister in love. May whoever teaches here teach truth. May whoever serves here serve pleasantly.

May everyone come into this house in expectation and go with thanksgiving, and May anyone who comes needing help go feeling blest.

May this be such a house that Jesus Christ – or any stranger, even one of the least – would feel in it that they were with friends.

– James Dillet Freeman

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:

God touches my life manifesting prosperity and abundance. My life is enriched.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE:

“The real art of conversation is not only knowing the right thing to say at the right place but to leave the unsaid wrong thing at the tempting moment.”

̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶ o O o ̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶

(Submitted with our great thanks)

“Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”
Ephesians 4:31-32

Forgiveness in first century Christianity means self-release. It is releasing the poison from inside of you. It has little to do with the other person. Forgiveness is releasing the prisoner, and then realizing the prisoner was you.

Forgiving may help the forgiver more than the forgiven.

A dear woman shares her story:

As everything unraveled on a 25-year marriage and my husband moved out of the only home our daughter had ever known, I felt huge relief our only child was 20 at that time – it made everything simpler. Or so I thought. Because she wasn’t a minor, I didn’t have to negotiate about custody and child support, didn’t have to put up with his coming around to see her, and didn’t have to try to explain the inexplicable to a young child. Mostly, though, I was relieved because I thought it would be less complicated emotionally for her at that age. She was away at college, a young adult, not subject to the day-to-day difficulties or emotional turmoil of her parents being in two households.

In an attempt to ensure that my crushing hurt did not affect their relationship, I had said to my daughter and her dad that the nature and quality of their relationship from that point on would be up to them. I would not interfere, but neither would I facilitate. I tried to be glad when I saw his phone number on the phone bill from her college dorm; but I’ll confess that on more than one occasion in those early days I slipped into revenge fantasies, wishing with more than a little shame that I could be one of ‘those’ divorced parents who use their children to ‘get at’ an ex-spouse. My anger waned in intensity over the following months, but on occasion glowed white hot, briefly and unexpectedly, for reasons that still elude me. At those times, I exercised that remarkable ability so many women have to feign: pleasantness and serenity while simultaneously holding down an ugly knot of hurt and anger that clamored for attention the way curdled milk waits to erupt from a soured stomach.

I observed my daughter’s next few years mostly from afar as she concentrated on her studies, became active in a sorority, made new friends, played on her university’s tennis team, enjoyed snow-skiing, camping, boating and beach trips with friends, and fell in and out of love. I naturally wondered at times what impact the end of her parents’ 25-year marriage might have on her. From what I could see, my daughter’s strong spirit, sense of independence, self-confidence, good humor and zest for life were serving her well. After a while, I even congratulated myself on our having handled things in a way that had left her relatively unscathed.

Reality hit hard one evening during her Christmas vacation six months before she was to graduate from college. That’s when my daughter taught me an important lesson – children whose parents divorce are forever changed, regardless of their age or life situation when the split happens. Sitting at the dinner table that night in my new house, which still didn’t feel like home to either of us, she hesitantly told me she was dreading her college graduation.

“All my friends’ families will be coming, and there are dinners and receptions all weekend,” she said, putting her elbows on the table her father had sanded and stained when she was a little girl. “And every time you see or talk about Dad, you cry and feel sad. I can’t tell one of you not to come. You’re my parents. It makes me not want to go through graduation.”

I felt as though I’d been hit with something big and hard.

I couldn’t breathe. And then tears – those damn tears – began to course down my cheeks and drip onto my chest. I felt hot, and the light over the table seemed to spin and flash as I struggled for composure. I was stunned and stung – stunned to discover that my involuntary tears had cut so deeply into her life and soul; stung that my hanging on to sadness and a sense of loss was responsible for her wanting to skip an important milestone in her life. I didn’t believe for a second, she really would miss the festivities, but to know she saw my continued grieving as and inevitable dark cloud over her graduation weekend was devastating.

I’ve always believed that actions follow thoughts. Now would come a test of that belief. “I know it wasn’t easy to say that,” I managed to mutter. After a pause and a big sigh, I continued, with a note of determination in my voice that I didn’t feel. “It’s six months until graduation. You know both your dad and I love you and want your graduation and all your special moments in life to be unmarred by what’s gone on between us. I promise you that on your graduation weekend, you don’t have to worry about my crying. We’ll be fine.”

And we were. Tears did fall that day, but they were shared with my ex-husband as we stood arm in arm watching the daughter we’d raised walk across the stage to accept her diploma. He even carried an extra handkerchief for me, as he had all those years we were married. That’s when I knew my choice to spend time with him during the months after her sad dinner table confrontation had been worthwhile. By “practicing” being cordial and friendly, by sharing everyday conversation and meals, by saying why I was doing this, I had moved beyond the automatic response of tears. I think we actually ended up enjoying ourselves; and it wasn’t long before I realized that forgiveness had crept into my heart, softening that hard knot of anger and hurt.

It was a turning point – not only for the three of us but for our extended family and friends as well. Now my sister and mother and friends could once again be friendly without feeling disloyal to me. The cordiality and friendliness we felt that spring has continued in the years since, making subsequent visits with our daughter more enjoyable for everyone. And now we’re all immersed in planning another milestone – our daughter’s wedding. In the fall, my ex-husband and I will sit side by side once again, on the front pew in the church this time, perhaps sharing a handkerchief once more.

A beloved teacher once said to me, “Forgiving may help the forgiver more than the forgiven.” She was right. – Susan Carver Williams

The Best That Ever Was Is Now

a gift from www.PositiveChristianity.net

̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶ o O o ̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶

“You shall make your way prosperous, and you shall have good success.”
Joshua 1:8

All spiritual power is found in the present – it is the best time ever.

One of my hobbies is to go to auto museums to see classic automobiles. When I was in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, I had the pleasure of going to Swope’s Cars of Yesteryear Museum. It was serendipitous when I met the owner Bill Swope. He has many new car dealerships, but his passion is classic cars. He is opened up his museum free of charge to the public. He has cars on display that would be worth in excess of a quarter of $1 million each.

I asked Mr. Swope what was in his opinion the best car ever made. He looked past the Rolls-Royce on display and he said, any of those cars – pointing to the new economy cars on his lot.

He said, “Put a dealer tag, and a little bit of gas in the tank, and I am driving the best car ever made.”

There’s a lot of truth to that. Anyone that has ever owned a classic car knows well the problems and defects those cars had from day one.

Our greatness is not found in the past, our greatness is found in the present. The best cars ever made are being made now, and so are the best people. You can look to history for the men and women you admire – but realize they each had flaws. Many of the people of our past had major flaws.

You were made by God for greatness. And God is creating the best people today that have ever been made. People today are accepting of others and kinder and gentler in their souls. I often say that our readers are the best people on the planet, and they’re striving to become better than they were yesterday.

Bill Swope was a great success, I believe, from spending time with him, it’s because he puts his heart into his work. That’s what you must do – put your heart into your career, following your passion with excellence.

I remember the Broadway show tune “You’ve Got to Have Heart.” I am humming it as I write. I know that when a person puts heart into what they’re doing, even though to the eyes it may look impossible, that person is going to succeed bigger than any of us can imagine.

The best time in the history of the world is right now, the best people in the history of the world live right now. You have the God-given potential to be the best that you can be. God is blessing you to become a magnificent person, and God is not done with you yet. God is constantly remodeling you, re-creating you, and bringing out the new model, better than last year.

The 2024 model of YOU will soon be out.

_______________________________________

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, implant in me the vision that lets me know how great my present is, and how great my future will be.
Give me deep faith in my God-given abilities and empower my motivation so that together we can accomplish great things.
Thank You God!

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:

God is with me right now and I am at my best!

Bridge of Faith

a gift from www.PositiveChristianity.net

̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶ o O o ̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶

“Jesus answered them, ‘Have faith in God.'”
Mark 11:22

To get from point A to point B, from where you are to where you want to be – your bridge is faith in God.

Your faith in God is a powerful spiritual belief that rushes in to soothe any fears so that you can think and act with calmness, and also wisdom.

Your faith in God is continually growing, for it opens your soul to the wonder of God that is everywhere accessible to you.

There is nothing that God cannot do. With God, and God’s ever-abiding help, you are lifted above limitations, and obstacles. Faith in God moves you forward, and brings you through any, and every circumstance.

Faith is a bridge over which you cross any trouble or challenge to the perfect solution to any problem. Faith is the bridge to healing, prosperity, and fulfillment of your dreams.

Faith is the bridge that takes you beyond your human mind to God’s mind. With God, you never need doubt that the guidance and inspiration you receive is right for you. It is right for you because God knows you better than you know yourself. So, if you are unsure about what to do, let God take you across the bridge from personal insecurity to God’s security.

Let God take you across the bridge from personal confusion to God’s wisdom. As you go to God in prayer, you will begin shining the light of understanding on every area of your life. In God’s light you comprehend every situation with new clarity. You feel certain about what is right for you. You know that God will never lead you astray.

The bridge of faith can take you from a negative outlook, to a positive outlook.

The bridge of faith can take you from where you are to where you dream of being.

When you know that God is with you, it is always possible to have a positive attitude. With God, all things are possible.

With sincere faith in God, and in yourself, you can accomplish great things. By expecting the best in any given situation, you are preparing yourself for positive and satisfying experiences.

When you have faith in God, you go across the bridge leaving behind the personal blocks and limitations and going towards a God empowerment. Going across the bridge you will be able to go the extra mile to achieve the best results. And you will expect the best, in faith saying “yes” to all the blessings you know are coming your way from God.

God wants to take you across the bridge leaving behind personal problems and going towards personal victories. You believe in God and you know that God also believes in you.

Positive Daily Inspiration – November 15, 2023 – God’s Unlimited Freedom

Positive Daily Inspiration - November 15, 2023
God's Unlimited Freedom

a gift from www.PositiveChristianity.net

̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶ o O o ̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶

“Is not this the fast that I choose … to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?”
Isaiah 58:6

Each of us is secretly in bondage to something – and we long for freedom. Only God can give the complete freedom the soul craves.

On this Wednesday, you pray to realize God’s unlimited freedom. You pray you are free to express life fully as God directs. You have no thought that anything or anyone can hold you in bondage.

You can be limited only by your own limited thinking. You bind yourself when you believe that you are under bondage to people or things. Your freedom depends upon your awareness of freedom given by God.

Your right to be a free expression is God-given. You must be free to fully express God’s gifts and talents. Your life can be well-rounded only when God is freely expressed through you, and in you. You take on a power that is beyond yourself.

With God’s help, any belief that seems to hold you in bondage is cleared out of your thinking of it. Ask God for freedom. You deliver yourself from the belief that another can make you unhappy or can limit your progress. You free yourself from the belief that anything external can restrict your God-given personal freedom.

You are centered in God today and relaxed. You are free from stress. Stress builds on itself. You free yourself and release pressure by not allowing anyone, or anything to continue to cause you to feel mentally or emotionally stressed.

With God’s help, you diffuse any pressure in your mind – the starting point of every thought, emotion, and action – so it will not pervade your life.

“We have the mind of Christ.”
1 Corinthians 2:16

You begin affirming in positive prayer: “I have the mind of Christ. God is with me. I am at peace, I am free.”

God’s mind is not stressful or fearful, and you become one with the mind of God.

As you quiet your thoughts and keep them Christ centered, your emotions are soothed.

You speak calming words to relax your body: “Centered in Christ, I relax.”

Christ centered and relaxed, you are able to function effectively and efficiently. You are free from the former bondage that could have held you down today.

_______________________________________

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, on this Wednesday, I pray for freedom and relaxation.
Help me to get out from under the restrictive bondage of stress.
I pray that I am free to think clearly.
I pray that I am free to see new opportunity.
I pray that I am free to receive full energy and express it.
I pray that I am free to be happy, and to soar to new heights of personal accomplishment.

Thank You, God

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:

God’s great love uplifts, sustains and comforts me.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE:

“Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Positive Daily Inspiration - November 14, 2023
Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

a gift from www.PositiveChristianity.net

̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶ o O o ̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶̶

“For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace.”
Isaiah 55:12

The power of God is here. What a joy we have to experience God’s love in this time together.

We are poised today as we enter prayer.

We are patient and positive.

We use this time to remind ourselves of God’s power.

All things are working together for good [Romans 8:28]. We know that in everything God works for good for those who love God. Sometimes it takes great poise to recall this, especially when things seem so out of order, or when confusion seems to reign.

If everyone around you is upset and unhappy, you refuse to become negative.

You affirm silently with me: I am poised because I know that God is leading me to my highest good. I know that God is here bringing about that which is for the highest good of all.

Poise is balance – a combination of peace and power. We are poised. We feel the power of God with us, at work in us and through us.

Pray and accept God’s good in the silence of prayer …

Allow me to speak for you …

I am patient.

I am patient because I know that God is leading me to my highest good. I am patient because I know that God is leading others to their highest good also. I am patient because I know that God is at work and God cannot fail.

I am positive.

I know that God is leading me to my highest good. I align myself with the constructive side of things now during my prayer.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

Let us think about poise and healing. True healing is balance in the body, balance in the mind, and balance in the emotions.

I affirm silently: I am poised. I know that God’s healing work is being done in me. Perfect balance is something I’m feeling right now.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

Perfect balance and patience keep me peaceful in my mind and heart and help to free me from any worry or tension I might have carried into this day. I am positive. I know that God’s healing work is being done in me right now.

We are poised. We come from a position of strength in God. Therefore, we are not fearful. We are patient. We never doubt because we know in partnership with God our good is on its way. We remain positive. We place our faith in the one true source of all – God. We know that God provides for our every need.

We have this outlook now. It is in our mind; it is in our body; it is in our thought. Good gravitates toward us. In the face of limitation, we are positive that supply is available. In the face of delays, we are patient and trusting. In the face of change, we are poised and serene. We know that all things coming into our lives are working together for good.

Poised, patient, positive. Our lives are blessed. We meet each day more convinced than ever that God is with us and with those for whom we pray to guide, heal, and prosper.

Through the power of the spoken word I decree for you: God is bringing only good into your life and circumstances. You are poised, patient, and positive.

Rest for a moment in the silence of prayer …

God is bringing good into my life and the circumstances of my life.
I welcome God.
I am poised.
I am patient.
I am positive.

This is the truth now about me …

In Jesus Christ’s name I so affirm.

Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE:

“If you want to succeed in the world, you must make your own opportunities as you go on. The man who waits for some seventh wave to toss him on dry land will find that the seventh wave is a long time a coming. You can commit no greater folly than to sit by the roadside until someone comes along and invites you to ride with him to wealth or influence.”
John B. Gough

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and I will put a new and right spirit within me.”
Psalms 51:10

Do twins ever realize that one of them is unplanned?

What if my dog only brings back my ball because he thinks I like throwing it?

If poison expires, is it more poisonous or is it no longer poisonous?

Which letter is silent in the word “Scent,” the S or the C?

Why is the letter W, in English, called double U? Shouldn’t it be called double V?

Maybe oxygen is slowly killing you and It just takes 75-100 years to fully work.

Every time you clean something, you just make something else dirty

The word “swims” upside-down is still “swims”.

Intentionally losing a game of rock, paper, scissors is just as hard as trying to win.

100 years ago everyone owned a horse and only the rich had cars. Today everyone has cars and only the rich own horses.

Your future self is watching you right now through memories.

The doctors that told Stephen Hawking he had two years to live in 1953 are probably dead.

If you replace “W” with “T” in “What, Where and When”, you get the answer to each of them.

Many animals probably need glasses, but nobody knows it.

A whale swims all day, only eats fish, and drinks water, but is still fat.

A rabbit runs, and hops, and only lives 15 years, while a tortoise doesn’t run, and does mostly nothing, yet it lives for 150 years. And they tell us to exercise?

_____

Now that I’m older, here’s what I’ve discovered:

1. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

2. My wild oats are mostly enjoyed with prunes and all-bran.

3. If all is not lost, then where the heck is it?

4. It was a whole lot easier to get older, than it was to get wiser.

5. Some days, you’re the top dog, some days you’re the hydrant.

6. Kids in the back-seat cause accidents.

7. The world only beats a path to your door when you’re in the bathroom.

8. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he’d have put them on my knees.

9. When I’m finally holding all the right cards, everyone wants to play chess.

10. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth..

11. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter. I go somewhere to get something, and then wonder what I’m “here after”.

A man and his wife walked into a dentist’s office.

The man said to the dentist, “Doc, I’m in one heck of a hurry. I have two buddies sitting out in my car waiting for us to go play golf, so forget about the anesthetic, I don’t have time for the gums to get numb. I just want you to pull the tooth and be done with it! We have a 10:00 am tee time at the best golf course in town and it’s 9:30 already … and I don’t have time to wait for the anesthetic to work!”

The dentist thought to himself, “Well, well, at last a golfer with real nerve!”

So, the dentist asks him, “Which tooth is it, sir?”

The man turned to his wife and said,

“Open your mouth, honey, and show the dentist.”

CHURCH SIGN BOARDS:

“CHURCH CAR PARK – FOR MEMBERS ONLY,”
“Trespassers will be baptized!”

“No God – No Peace.”
“Know God – Know Peace.”

“Free Trip to heaven – Details Inside!”

“Try our Sundays – They’re better than Dairy Queen’s”.

“Searching for a new look? – Have your faith lifted here!”

“People are like tea bags — you have to put them in hot water before you know how strong they are.”

“Fight truth decay – study the Bible daily.”

“How will you spend eternity – Smoking or Nonsmoking?”

“Dusty Bibles lead to Dirty Lives”

“It is unlikely there’ll be a reduction in the wages of sin.”

“Do not wait for the hearse to take you to church.”

“If you’re headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns.”

“If you don’t like the way you were born, try being born again.”

“This is a ch_ _ ch – What is missing? — (U R)”

“In the dark? – Follow the Son.”

“Running low on faith? – Step in for a fill-up.”

“If you can’t sleep, don’t count sheep – Talk to the Shepherd.”

“Come work for the Lord – The work is hard, the hours are long and the pay is low, but the retirement benefits are out of this world.”

An ad for one Church has a picture of two hands holding stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments are inscribed and a headline that reads, “For fast, fast, fast relief take two tablets.”

When the restaurant next to another Church put out a big sign with red letters that said, “Open Sundays,” the church reciprocated with its own message: “We are open on Sundays, too.”

AND THE WINNER – ON THE PASTOR’S PARKING SPOT –
“PASTOR’S SPOT – YOU PARK, YOU PREACH”
