Positive Daily Inspiration – January 19, 2023 – PARABLE OF THE TALENTS

Positive Daily Inspiration - January 19, 2023 - PARABLE OF THE TALENTS

“I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away.”
Luke 19:26

Jesus tells the story of the landowner who gives his servants talents (money) to take care of while he travels to a distant country. When the landowner returns, he asks his servants what they have gained with the talents given them. He rewards those servants who invested their talents and he takes away from those servants who did not use their talents, but instead, hid them away, until the landowner’s return.

This is confusing to some people. Some people feel that the rich just get richer and the poor just get poorer. Does this sound like a familiar statement to you? This is a frustrating concept – it seems as though there’s no way to become prosperous or to have abundance, if we don’t already have it.

Our talents are our spiritual gifts. When we use our unique spiritual gifts, we are lifted up and led to further possibilities along our journey. The way is made clear as we walk along it, practicing our gifts, and we are given peace, safety, harmony, and prosperity.

When we don’t use our talents, we stop the flow of the God-Presence within us … . not only do we not receive the benefits that are ours to enjoy when we develop our talents, but we also find that we lose what we do have. The old adage is “use it or lose it.” It happens in every aspect of our lives – mentally, physically, and spiritually.

The world is full of people who are afraid to use their talent because it seems so insignificant. Our talents are our special, unique gifts from God. They are our special, unique gifts to this world of humanity.

Each talent is important in this world and to God’s overall plan, and cannot be replaced by any other talent. Each one serves its specific, unique, and special purpose. It’s like a building. You can’t replace a brick with a nail or a nail with a brick. You cannot replace wall materials with foundation materials nor foundation materials with wall materials. You don’t replace the ceiling with the floor, or vice versa. Each piece that goes into a building is extremely important in the integrity and strength and use of that building. No matter how small or insignificant a piece seems, without it, the whole building is adversely affected in some way.

It’s the same with vitamins and minerals for our human bodies. Some vitamins and minerals we just need a teensy bit to be healthy. Does this mean that one of those particular minerals is unimportant? No, it means that if we do not use that gift or talent of that nutrient, our body will have one or more adverse reactions and eventually become unhealthy … . all because of the lack of a teensy bit of a special, unique mineral. That’s how our talents are. And that’s what each specific, special one means to the world.

To the servants who used their talents, rather than hid them, the landowner gave them more according to how much the servants used their talents. When we use our talents, we are given increased possibilities, mentally, physically, and spiritually – not only in using and developing these talents, but we also find new talents that serve us along our life’s path. New ideas, new prosperity, new careers, new relationships, or a dramatic growth of any of these just seem to happen, when we use the gifts that God has given us.

We are quickened with life. We are enthusiastic, joyous, and peaceful. There is nothing about us that is slow or sluggish. If you feel that something about you is sluggish, there is some talent, some gift you are not using. Find it and bring it into expression. The way to do this is to use the talents and gifts that you already know about and continue to affirm that God’s will is being done in all your thoughts and acts and words. Trust this … . trust this and know that it is already true.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, I thank you for all You have given me. I awaken to all the possibilities You have put before me, to use with Your guidance. As I meet each day, I am inspired by creative ideas, positive encouragement, and wonderful new thoughts, leading me and guiding me through each moment.

In Jesus Christ’s name I pray … Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: Relying on God, I have the momentum to keep on keeping on.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: “Real excellence and humility are not incompatible one with the other, on the contrary they are twin sisters.” Jean Baptiste Lacordaire

Positive Daily Inspiration – January 18, 2023 – GOD ANSWERS PRAYER

Positive Daily Inspiration - January 18, 2023 - GOD ANSWERS PRAYER

“Before they call, I will answer!”
Isaiah 65:24

This story was written by a doctor who worked in South Africa.

One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labor ward; but in spite of all we could do she died leaving us with a tiny premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive, as we had no incubator. We had no electricity to run an incubator. We also had no special feeding facilities. Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly with treacherous drafts.

One student midwife went for the box we had for such babies and the cotton wool the baby would be wrapped in. Another went to stoke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle. She came back shortly in distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst. Rubber perishes easily in tropical climates. “And it is our last hot water bottle!” she exclaimed. As in the West it is no good crying over spilled milk, so in Central Africa it might be considered no good crying over burst water bottles. They do not grow on trees, and there are no drugstores down forest pathways.

“All right,” I said, “put the baby as near the fire as you safely can, and sleep between the baby and the door to keep it free from drafts. Your job is to keep the baby warm.”

The following noon, as I did most days, I went to have prayers with any of the orphanage children who chose to gather with me. I gave the youngsters various suggestions of things to pray about and told them about the tiny baby. I explained our problem about keeping the baby warm enough, mentioning the hot water bottle. The baby could so easily die if it got chills. I also told them of the two-year-old sister, crying because her mother had died.

During the prayer time, one ten-year-old girl, Ruth, prayed with the usual blunt conciseness of our African children. “Please, God,” she prayed, “send us a water bottle. It’ll be no good tomorrow, God, as the baby will be dead, so please send it this afternoon.”

While I gasped inwardly at the audacity of the prayer, she added by way of a corollary, “And while You are about it, would You please send a dolly for the little girl so she’ll know You really love her?”

As often with children’s prayers, I was put on the spot. Could I honestly say, “Amen?” I just did not believe that God could do this. Oh, yes, I know that He can do everything. The Bible says so. But there are limits, aren’t there? The only way God could answer would be for a package to arrive from the homeland.

I had been in Africa for almost four years at that time, and I had never, ever received a parcel from home; if anyone did send me a parcel, who would put in a hot water bottle? I lived on the equator! Halfway through the afternoon, while I was teaching in the nurses’ training school, a message was sent that there was a car at my front door. By the time I reached home, the car had gone, but there, on the veranda, was a large twenty-two pound parcel. I felt tears pricking my eyes. I could not open the parcel alone, so I sent for the orphanage children. Together we pulled off the string, carefully undoing each knot. We folded the paper, taking care not to tear it unduly. Excitement was mounting.

Some thirty or forty pairs of eyes were focused on the large cardboard box. From the top, I lifted out brightly colored, knitted jerseys. Eyes sparkled as I gave them out. Then there were the knitted bandages for the leprosy patients, and the children looked a little bored. Then came a box of mixed raisins and sultanas-that would make a batch of buns for the weekend. Then, as I put my hand in again, I felt the … could it really be? I grasped it and pulled it out – yes, a brand-new, rubber hot water bottle, I cried.

I had not asked God to send it; I had not truly believed that He could. Ruth was in the front row of the children. She rushed forward, crying out, “If God has sent the bottle, He must have sent the dolly, too!” Rummaging down to the bottom of the box, she pulled out the small, beautifully dressed dolly. Her eyes shone! She had never doubted. Looking up at me, she asked: “Can I go over with you, Mummy, and give this dolly to that little girl, so she’ll know that Jesus really loves her?”

That parcel had been on the way for five whole months. Packed up by my former Sunday school class, whose leader had heard and obeyed God’s prompting to send a hot water bottle, even to the equator. And one of the girls had put in a dolly for an African child – five months before — in answer to the believing prayer of a ten-year-old to bring it “that afternoon.”

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

My life is God’s life. God’s intelligence is in every part of it. As God keeps the stars in their courses and the Sun and the Moon in their paths, so God guides and directs my life. God knows every direction that I need to go toward. I rest secure in God’s protecting presence, and all is well.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: My faith is a power within me; and through it, I connect with the all-powerful of God.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one getting burned.”
Buddha

Positive Daily Inspiration - January 17, 2023 - Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

“We have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s Will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.” Colossians 1:9

You are God’s radiant, loving child. Think of your heart as God’s abode of love, your thoughts as God’s love messengers, your life as God’s lighthouse of love. Through the Spirit of Divine love, you can be absolutely sure of your perfect wholeness, of the harmonious outworking of Divine love in your life.

Consent now to the full love of God in the silence of prayer …

Love makes you certain of the goodness of God. God’s innate good, the likeness of God in the heart of humans, for love, is an image of God. It is not a lifeless image, but the living essence of the Divine nature which beams full of all goodness. Love and faith are inseparable, and you have both in you now. To love is to have faith, and to have faith is to love that in which your faith is placed.

Your love is not blind. Divine love, that penetrating eye of God’s Truth, looks straight through and beyond every imperfection to behold the goodness, radiance, and limitless possibilities of every person. You are empowered to perceive spiritually. Divine love beholds the light of health and life shining through every individual cell in you. The grace and perfection of God is being made manifest in all creation.

God’s message of love to you is a message of wholeness and eternal life. God’s word of love to you is one of protection and provision. God’s light of love is one of faith and understanding. God’s gift of love is one of Divine heritage and power.

Rest in this Divine heritage in the silence of prayer …

Your love shines with the glory of heaven. Your love cannot be wasted or lost. Your love is under the sponsorship of God. Even if love is not returned by the person on whom it is bestowed, it flows back to you. And when it flows back, it softens the things that appear selfish and unjust, to fulfill God’s perfect law and triumph over ungraciousness, loneliness, or misunderstanding.

Your love inside of you is not weak. The love that is inside of you is the greatest power you have ever known. It is the power by which Jesus Christ healed, forgave, and taught the people, the power by which He keeps in constant touch with you through His indwelling spirit of love in your heart right now, the power by which every good and every kindness is inspired and brought forth.

Love is making you happy this day. Love is creating in you a happy spirit. Love is creating in you a happy heart, a happy disposition, and a happy countenance. You are a wise person. You laugh with love, and you are immersed in the very joy of living and the very joy of loving. Love is lifting you up. It is lifting up your entire spirit as you pray this day. This love that you are feeling is unresponsive to fear. This love that you have within you is courageous. This love is blessing you now.

In the silence of prayer …

Through the power of love inside of you, you have the power and the courage to forgive, to cleanse, to purify yourself.

I decree in Jesus Christ’s name, you have inside of you a Divine vitality, working now to get rid of the ills, the cares, and the sorrows of human life. God is working with you now, blessing you, cleansing you, and purifying you with God love.

Your eyes will have a new vision of love. Your body will have a new vision of wholeness. Your countenance will have a new vision of happiness. And your mind will have a new vision of peace and abundant thought. You are harmonized through the power of Divine vitality. You are made pleasant within by the love of God expressing itself through you.

This is so, this spiritual day, as we follow Jesus Christ in His main teachings – forgiveness and love.

Thank You God … Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: God, and God’s perfect love, pours out God’s abundant good upon me, and my life and world show forth God’s perfect order. God’s perfect law of adjustment regulates all the circumstances of my life, and all things are now in Divine order.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: A simple act of kindness stimulates the immune system in the forgiver, the receiver, and the observer. A simple act of kindness benefits the whole society.

Positive Daily Inspiration – January 16, 2023 – In Celebration of the Life of Martin Luther King

Positive Daily Inspiration - January 16, 2023

In Celebration of the Life of Martin Luther King

“Incline your ear and come to me; hear, that your soul may live.” Isaiah 55:3

Today, I am going to speak about the world Jesus envisioned.

I believe in vistas of possibilities because the turmoil of the outer world is just a thin covering of the immense tranquility of the unseen of God.

On August 28, 1963, a 34 year-old man stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. He was one year away from winning the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. His name was Reverend Martin Luther King.

The main message of Martin Luther King, especially in the later years, was of peace.

He said in part, “I have a dream. We must not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom from drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must meet physical force with soul force.”

And so we must. It is our mission. It is our duty to meet physical force with soul force. And that means prayer. That means belief in God. That means belief in the possibilities of the unseen and knowing that with God all things are possible; with humans they’re impossible.

God brings a greater peace and a power to every situation.

Every Christian religion has, as one of its core teachings, the Second Coming of Christ. A Second Coming IS MORE than just a physical second coming; more than a parting of the clouds and a man named Jesus coming through the clouds. We have to ask, “What does this all mean?” In every religion, in every Christian thought, (no matter what name the church has on its sign out front), the Second Coming means a realm of perpetual peace.

Jesus said, “My peace I leave unto you.” Peace is up to you. Jesus asks, “Are you truly going to follow me? Are you going to go the extra mile?”

Are you going to worry and become part of the human problem? Or part of God’s answer?

Jesus said, “The peace of God passes all understanding.” It passes human understanding. And so, today we call forth for a Second Coming.

The Second Coming will also be the result of building the principles of God into the soul of humankind, where they begin to express through humankind.

The events of the life the Jesus represent certain stages of spiritual growth in the natural human. Jesus was the incarnation of the Son of God and was the great Example. If you are to attain full child-ship you must follow Jesus Christ’s example.

The second coming is right now upon us if we choose as humanity. The Spirit of the Lord Jesus is here right now and has been ever since He gave His spiritual body and blood because he so valued humanity.

It has been said that we do not inherit the earth from our parents; we borrow it from our children. But what kind of world are we going to leave our children? Are we going to leave a world that has a realm of peace or just temporary peace?

Are we going to leave a world that is constantly met with wars at various points so that people can settle their differences with guns instead of communication? Is that the kind of world we’re going to have?

Or are we finally going to stand up as spiritual adults and follow Jesus Christ and take our responsibility and learn to be all that Jesus Christ said that we could be 2,000 years ago?

Gandhi said, “If we are to reach real peace in this world and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children; if they grow in their natural innocence, we won’t have to struggle; we won’t have to pass fruitless idle resolutions; but we shall go from love to love and peace to peace, until at least all the corners of the world are covered with that peace and love for which consciously or unconsciously the whole world is hungering.”

The world will have real peace when the causes of war are adjusted.

Look beyond appearances. Even when the world situation looks bleak in terms of peace, we must hold to the good, to the true, to the real. We must go neither right nor left on our journey toward the realization of a peaceful world. We must stay on the straight and narrow.

If we hold to the idea of peace, we may yet see the day Jesus envisioned. We are praying for the glad day when the warships shall be turned into schools and love shall become the ruler in the hearts of all humans.”

We feel that there is something to be done, something of a nature not widely understood: waging a forgiving war and making an enduring peace.

People everywhere on earth are now realizing as never before that the well-being of this world rests with its inhabitants. It is no longer a religious dogma or a philosophical theory that the destiny of the world is in the hands of humans. God has given all the things to us to use as we shall determine.

We must remember, too, that there is not enough darkness in the world to put out the light of God.

More things are wrought by prayer than the world dreams, and then we put feet on our prayers.

I believe it was Confucius that said, “Footprints in the sands of time are not made by sitting down.” Martin Luther King did not sit down, he stood up, and boldly walked in the direction of his dream.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I have a dream, and I believe with God I can achieve it.

“But Thou art near, O Lord, and all Thy commandments are true.”
Psalms 119:151

After a church service on Sunday morning, a young boy suddenly announced to his mother,

“Mom, I’ve decided to become a minister when I grow up.”

“That’s okay with us, but what made you decide that?”

“Well,” said the little boy, “I have to go to church on Sunday anyway, and I figure it will be more fun to stand up and yell, than to sit and listen.”

While attending a marriage seminar on communication, David and his wife listened to the instructor declare, “It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other.”

He addressed the men, “Do you know what your wife’s favorite flower is?”

David leaned over, touched his wife’s arm gently and whispered, “Pillsbury All-Purpose, isn’t it?”

A woman walks into a bank, in New York City, and asks for the loan officer. She says she’s going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce. The car is parked on the street in front of the bank, she has the title and everything checks out.

The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank’s president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the blonde for using a $250,000 Rolls as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then proceeds to drive the Rolls into the bank’s underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the woman returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, “Miss we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled … While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why would you bother to borrow $5,000?”

The woman replies … “Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?”

His wife’s graveside service was just barely finished, when there was a massive clap of thunder, followed by a tremendous bolt of lightning, accompanied by even more thunder rumbling in the distance. The little, old man looked at the pastor and calmly said, “Well, she’s there.”

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, this Sunday, I give You my full attention. I do not let outer conditions control me. I focus my attention on You as the only power in my life. I turned to You with faith and conviction, I shift my attention away from temporary fax and conditions to the lasting reality of Your good. My life reflects the blessing of my oneness with You.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen

God Sees Your Value

“Great peace have those who love Your law; nothing can make them stumble.”
Psalm 119: 165

A father said to his daughter “You have graduated with honors, here is a car I bought many years ago. It is pretty old now. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them I want to sell it and see how much they offer you for it.

The daughter went to the used car lot, returned to her father, and said, “They offered me $1,000 because they said it looks pretty worn out.”

The father said, now “Take it to the pawnshop.” The daughter went to the pawnshop, returned to her father, and said,” The pawnshop offered only $100 because it is an old car.”

The father asked his daughter to go to a car club now and show them the car. The daughter then took the car to the club, returned, and told her father,” Some people in the club offered $100,000 for it because it’s a Nissan Skyline R34, it’s an iconic car and sought by many collectors.”

Now the father said this to his daughter, “The right place values you the right way.”

If you are not valued, do not be angry, it means you are in the wrong place. Those who know your value are those who appreciate you … … Never stay in a place where no one sees your value.

Positive Daily Affirmation:
I abide in God because God abides in me.

Positive Daily Inspiration – January 13, 2023 – ACCOMPLISHMENT

Positive Daily Inspiration - January 13, 2023 - ACCOMPLISHMENT

“For to everyone who has will more be given, and they will have abundance.”
Matthew 25:29

Behind every accomplishment in life reside two important factors – faith and action. Whatever you may have accomplished in the past, be it little or great – there is yet more in you.

Now is the time to renew your faith in the abiding presence of God and to wisely choose the talents and abilities that are yours, thereby bringing them forth into greater expression. Have faith in God. God will inspire you to put your talents and your abilities to the best use in the right avenues of service and expression.

Have the faith that produces victory. Approach every activity this weekend with the sure knowledge that you WILL succeed. Meet every situation enthusiastically, knowing that you have right answers and the right methods for successful accomplishment. You are being given the opportunity to achieve success and abundance. Through God’s help, effectively and perfectly, you will be able to use your present God-given talents, as well as discover new talents that are, as of yet, unclaimed.

We think of Jesus who came to reveal spiritual insight to us. We follow Jesus by having in us a quick, alert, expanding mind. Jesus never allowed Himself to become depressed or down, emotionally. His thinking remained positive, even in the face of the greatest challenges. His way of looking at life revealed His faith in the goodness of God. Jesus’ approach to life and living was inspiring and uplifting. He loved and understood people and saw them as beloved children of God. Jesus always indicated that life was worth living.

Following Jesus, we need no longer feel down, or burdened, or question the goodness, the purpose, or the meaning of life. We can know, without a doubt, that only good can come to us and through us to others.

True accomplishment can come to you when you follow God’s ways. Sometimes a slight change in our way of living is what is needed, and perhaps our whole lifestyle needs to be reconstructed. Whatever your need for accomplishment in life, pray about it. Pray for ideas, pray for poise and confidence to carry out the ideas that come to you.

Keep knowing that there is a power with you that is higher than your human self, and this power opens a way where there seems to be no way. Only trust, believe, and follow the inspiration of God.

For some people, accomplishment would be a prayer to have an interesting life. For other people, accomplishment would be a prayer to have happy human relationships. And perhaps, that is the ultimate accomplishment of life – to be needed, to love and be loved.

By the power of God, you can have these blessings, because you already have the accomplishment that is your birthright as a child of God of the complete, unalterable love of God towards you.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, I know that there is no place where You are not. I am especially thankful that in all my dealings with others You are with me. I recognize God’s presence in others, I see the good. Divine light is shed on challenges so that everything flows smoothly this week, and my friendships shine brightly.

In Jesus Christ name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: Today, I put forth the effort to walk and talk with God.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: “When you were born, you were crying, and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you’re the one smiling, and everyone around you is crying.”

Positive Daily Inspiration – January 12, 2023 – COMMUNION WITH GOD

Positive Daily Inspiration - January 12, 2023 - COMMUNION WITH GOD

“My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God My savior.”
Luke 1:46,47

Communion literally means common union. It is oneness that you share and experience directly with God.

Your Communion with God begins with your ability to still yourself in prayer, both mentally and physically. For a brief time, you are undisturbed, calm, and quiet. In prayer, you are one with God and you know this oneness. You feel yourself lifted to a higher state of being.

With every breath you take, you inhale the harmony of God’s world. With every breath that you exhale, you exhale the disharmony of humanity. You are made new. You give new thought to the beauty of your life, as you focus on the beauty of God and God’s creation.

You see ways to maintain this awareness of God in your life. You see ways to maintain this sense of balance, beauty, and love. You promise yourself to expend your energies toward further augmenting the realization of God in your life.

There is a new feeling in your heart, a song that cannot be heard with the ears, but nevertheless, a song of impelling harmony, truly Divine in nature. You let yourself flow along the river of life as your spirit rejoices.

Through Communion, you realize the healing power of God’s love. You realize the magnitude of the touch of the Divine. And this sure knowledge that Divine love is more powerful than any condition, you now relax and let it take over in your life.

In Romans 5:5, our Bible states, “And hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us.”

Everything is touched by the presence of God – every person – every condition – every circumstance. There is nothing to fear. There is nothing to be concerned about. If doubts start to creep in, you remind yourself that God is with you to provide all the strength that is needed.

As you become aware of the presence of the Divine working in your life, you realize true Communion in a lasting way. You are filled with peace. You are able to release all your concerns, trusting in their perfect outworking under the authority of God’s perfection. Tensions are carried away on smooth-flowing waves of Divine love.

Thank you, God, for Your gift of Divine love and for Your spirit that is with me, constantly teaching me to be responsive to Its loving actions.

Today, I will make Divine love solely in charge of my life and affairs.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER

Dear God, give me the desire to pray, and teach me to pray as You would to meet my needs. Sustain me, that I may overcome my weaknesses, and strengthen me, that I may know Your constant approval and love. May I be reverent and unselfish as I come to You in prayer.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: I flourish in an atmosphere of love and life that God has created!

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: “Choose a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life.”

Positive Daily Inspiration – January 11, 2023 – PEACE, BE STILL

Positive Daily Inspiration - January 11, 2023 - PEACE, BE STILL

“He woke up, and rebuked the wind, and the raging waves; they ceased, and there was a calm.”
Luke 8:24

The disciples went to Jesus, who was calmly asleep on the boat, and shouted at Him, saying, “Master, Master, WE ARE PERISHING!!!” The boat had been taking in water, and the disciples, looking to the appearances, were taking in great fear, – which would have sunk them faster than the boat taking in water.

After He calmed the situation, Jesus looked at His disciples and said, “Where is your faith?”

This type of situation has happened to all of us, at one time or another. We find ourselves caught up in a personal storm, and our life is taking on water, and will soon sink without Divine intervention.

God, in times of both challenge, and joy, is there for you. In times of challenge, we must keep our faith in God high; it is the key that will unlock the great mysteries to get us through any, and ALL storms.

You can have faith in God, because looking back on your own life, you recognize that God has seen you through the ups, and the downs of your life. God has supported and guided you even when you were not aware of it.

When you are going through a personal storm, God can give you peace of mind. God surrounds you with God’s loving, protecting presence that will always sustain you through any challenge.

Many times, God brings people into our lives that will bring new blessings for us, and that we can be a blessing to, in times of adversity. The greatest way that we can follow Jesus is through the practice of faith, instead of fear. If Jesus were to ask you, “Where is your faith?” You could say to Jesus, “Right here, right now, fully in God.”

When a tadpole becomes a frog, and an acorn grows into a towering tree, they are fulfilling their potential. We fill our spiritual potential when we hold on to our faith in the midst of a storm.

When we are holding onto our faith, we are calm enough to receive guidance from God. When we are all agitated, we cannot listen, or comprehend. We follow a Divine plan by following the guidance we receive from God, in order to fulfill our own potential.

Life is in a constant state of change and adaptation, and this change may seem like a storm with the raging waves. When your faith is high, your mind is alert and receptive to the God-given potential that lies within you, waiting to be expressed.

Every person created by God has been given potential. Just as the tadpole becomes the frog and the acorn the tree, you change from day to day, increasing your awareness of God and realizing that you are living out a Divine plan and fulfilling your own potential.

You can weather ANY storm, because God holds you up in the waves and sets the direction for a harbor of safety.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, I pray for the ability to see beyond appearances, I pray for the strength to keep my faith high. I place my life, and the circumstances of my life, faithfully in Your hands.
I believe in positive results.

In Jesus Christ name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: The Lord’s loving presence comes forth through my faith. I know what to do and I do it.

Positive Daily Inspiration – January 10, 2023 – Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

Positive Daily Inspiration - January 10, 2023 - Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

“See what love God has given us, that we should be called children of God.”
1 John 3:1

This time we have in prayer is sacred. Something is going to happen that is beyond mere human consciousness. We’re going to agree and consent to God’s good. There is a higher working here than just the human mind. There is an action of the Divine. The Truth we pray is the Truth of God for you individually.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

During this prayer time you will be quickened by the love of Christ. You will be able to look over your life and bless every experience with God’s love that brings forth good. You will know that the Spirit of the Lord is with you. Your God-given good is assured.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

This moment you are able to dissolve in your mind, and in the minds of all others, any idea that your God-given good can he withheld from you. There is nothing outside of you, person, thing, or event, that can keep from you that which the God has for you now.

As your mind expands to God’s good, vast improvement comes quickly in every phase of your life. Every day, and in every way, through God’s ever present help, things are getting better for you individually. You are entering the best period of your life. The attracting power of God’s love fills your life with satisfying good. As this comes, you are poised, patient and positive. You know that God pours God’s good out upon you.

Your mind is thinking exclusively about God’s possibilities. You know that as you let go of worn-out things in your mind, worn out habits and worn out thoughts, there is a new vibrant thinking coming through you, a thinking that pulsates with life, a thinking which is from God’s Mind. You accept that thought now for your life, and for every condition you face in life.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

God blesses you with love and peace. You are assured of help in every need. There is a continuous flow of God’s helpful ideas into your human mind. There is a continuous flow of good in your life. God’s Divine ideas come through your human mind and you become an irresistible magnet for wondrous experiences and ever-expanding good.

Good is drawn to you and you are a good receiver. You are receiving God’s good now in every area of your life. You are receiving all the abundance God has for you now. God, in God’s love, pours out God’s abundant good upon you. Your life and your world show forth perfect order now.

Revelations 21:5 says, “Behold, I make all things new.” With new zeal and enthusiasm, you accept God’s promise of good in your life.

In Proverbs 28:20 our Bible says, “A faithful human will abound with blessings.”

NOW you are abounding with God-given blessings.

NOW you are receiving all the good of the Christ.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

You are one with the bounty of Christ. Old walls are torn down, and good flows into your life.

You are a spiritual heir to God’s ever-present supply. You are blessed.

In the name of Jesus Christ, you are able, and ready for the future. You are abundantly prospered. This, NOW, is a turning point of your life because it is the turning point inside of your mind. You are able to fully trust God’s power. Instead of looking to appearances, you are able to trust in the power of God in your life. God’s good is continually made manifest. God is good. God supplies you now with unlimited opportunities for every need. You are prospered.

In a moment, you are going to rest in the silence. In a moment, you will feel the infilling that is a quiet reassurance that God is at work.

In the silence of prayer … ACCEPT

The Christ Light assures you of constant good. The Christ light assures you that your needs are supplied. The Christ Spirit is at work in you and in the circumstances of your life to bring continuous blessing and overflowing good. You have direct access to the rich ideas of God. Your spiritual life is connected, and your outer life is filled with plenty.

In the name, in the character and in the intelligence of Jesus Christ, you call forth God’s help. You call forth an ever-expanding help. You decree that you are forever changed by this prayer. You will never live your life in lack or limitation. You name every area of my life as vital, alive and good.

Thank You, God … In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: God is acting within me as health, and active within me, rebuilding, renewing, and revitalizing me.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE: “The trouble with most people is that they think with their fears or doubts rather than with their minds.”
Will Durant
