Positive Daily Inspiration – April 19, 2023 – The Best Picture of Peace

Positive Daily Inspiration - April 19, 2023
The Best Picture of Peace

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.”
Colossians 3:15

There once was a King who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace.

Many artists tried. The King looked at all the pictures, but there were only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them.

One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror, for peaceful towering mountains were all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds.

All who saw this picture thought it was a perfect picture of peace.

The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky from which rain fell, and in which lightening played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall.

This did not look peaceful at all.

But when the King looked, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush, a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest.

The King chose the second picture as the winner. “Because” explained the King, “Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart.”

“That is the real meaning of peace.”

If there is ever a time for peace it is now. Enter into the spirit by letting the peace of Christ reigning your mind, your heart, and your life.

Accept the gift of Christ peace.

Remember the promise, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.”

Christ brings peace to the world; He brings peace to your world.

The government of the world is upon His shoulders; the government of your world is upon His shoulders.

Christ comes forth through you and through every person who opens themselves to Him.

Christ is come forth, is reborn in your life as peace.

Where there is discord, Christ brings harmony; where there is confusion, Christ brings order; where there is tension, Christ brings release.

Christ is your peace right now.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, deep at the center of my being there is a place of absolute stillness, of infinite calm. I rest there now in prayer. No matter how tumultuous my thoughts may be, this place of prayer remains quiet, serene, and undisturbed. In prayer I return.

I gather my wandering, restless, disturbed thoughts to this inner place of peace and stillness.

I rest in the Lord. I allow Christ to bless me as I become still in God’s presence.

I accept peace.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
I feel the benediction of Christ peace.

Positive Daily Inspiration – April 18, 2023 – Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

Positive Daily Inspiration - April 18, 2023
Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

“So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty.”
Isaiah 55:11

In this time of prayer, we focus on God, and allow God to be our God that knows how to care for our every need.

Find that comfortable position. Take a deep breath in; release and let go. Let go of the past, and anything that would stand in the way of knowing God, God’s love we share together, and the peace that passes all understanding.

Now allow your human mind to be open. Gently open the heart. Allow the presence of love to be exposed.

I relax in the presence of God’s love. God is in my holy temple right now, and I rest in the heart of God.

I let go in the silence of prayer.

The past limitations begin to fade away now. I let go of any extraneous thoughts which come.

I let go of those I have judged, or criticized, and those who have hurt me along the way. I release all of these thoughts – all the judgments, all the unforgiveness, all the “I wish it were different” thoughts into God’s loving hands.

Now I turn my cheek in the other direction toward the Presence of God. My time is too precious to dwell on the past.

I want to know God, and to follow God, by expressing God’s love.

I am God’s beloved child, created in the image and after the likeness of goodness, perfection, joy, and harmony.

Although I made many mistakes along the way of life, there is something within me, that reaches out in love toward my own humanity.

Dear God, I am willing to love the unlovable part of myself – the part that makes mistakes, and the part that struggles and forgets the Truth of God. This is an experience of my own spirituality – to unconditionally love the unlovable.

As I bathe the unlovable of me in the pure love of God it is transformed.

Love within me, the healing power of the Divine, express uniquely through me. This is my purpose in life. As I begin with me, I also find that I reach out so much more easily. Now I am filled with compassion, instead of judgment, understanding, instead of criticism.

Dear God, truly we are one. As we walk this journey together, we are unfolding in the presence of God – the truth of our being. We reach out to one another, each different and yet with an equal blessing of healing, acceptance, beauty, and joy.

Thank You, God, for reminding me of who I am, and of why I am here.

And thank You for the great love that I am feeling expressing through me.

Today, we walk together, into another new dawn, alive with expectation of good, feeling blessed.

Thank You, God

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
Christ within me is my glory. The greatness of God’s presence wipes out all darkness, and I am filled with light, life, and peace.

Positive Daily Inspiration – April 17, 2023 – PROSPERITY

Positive Daily Inspiration - April 17, 2023
PROSPERITY

“And the Lord was with him; wherever he went forth, he prospered.”
2 Kings 18:7

Although prosperity can come to you through many channels, know that God is the source of ALL your prosperity. The more open and receptive you are to God’s good, the more opportunities you will have for receiving your abundant endless blessings. God’s will for you is success. God’s power is more powerful than outer conditions.

God will provide you with Divine ideas. These ideas present a better, more prosperous way of living. You can use these ideas in creative ways that multiply your abundance.

There is a right idea to fulfill every need. And God is the giver of those exacting ideas that can change your life, dramatically and sometimes instantly. Prayer prepares us to recognize our prosperity opportunities. As our awareness of God increases, so does our prosperity. God does not withhold any good from God’s beloved children. As we accept God’s good in thought, we open the way for good to become manifest in our lives.

Through the use of our own imagination, we can perceive the best of all possibilities for us to consider. We can weave the threads of our daily lives with creative, constructive change. We can view the world in the most positive manner.

Too often, precious time is wasted in worry. Anxiety, created by thoughts of trouble looming near, often blinds us to opportunity that is close. Instead, we can use our imagination to see great good awaiting us. The more we use our ability to see the best possible outcome and express our faith in the goodness of God, the more we are blessed.

We can move mountains of doubt, fear, and defeat as we imagine the road ahead filled with possibility. As our faith is quickened, our attitude is focused on the best possible solution. We move ahead knowing each step we take brings us closer to our answered prayers.

There is a law of attraction that I want to share with you. It is one of the great universal laws of God.

God’s law of attraction: “Like attracts like.”

What you attract into your life is what you think, what you feel, and what you consciously and unconsciously are. You can attract positive, happy experiences or negative, difficult ones. The more of God’s good you acknowledge and appreciate, the more kind and loving thoughts you send out, the more good you attract into your life.

You are aware of and give thanks for God’s prosperity everywhere, and by the law of attraction, you discover more prosperity every day. You think good thoughts, positive thoughts, constructive thoughts, and you reap the rich harvest of God’s abundance.

You are willing to take the ideas of God and become movable. So often, the human being facing adverse situations becomes unmovable. You are willing to be moved by God’s Divine power to arenas that will prove prosperous for you. You accept God’s ideas. You react positively to life, and life blesses you wondrously in return.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, I am ready. I am willing. I consent to Your Divine ideas working endlessly, tirelessly in my life. I pray for prosperity. I pray for success. I pray for a path that is ever-expanding in rewards. I pray that You will collaborate with me, and through me.

I give You all of me, use me so that I may be a person that makes a difference. I choose this day to follow You, to do whatever it takes, to become permanently prosperous.

In Jesus Christ name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
The inexhaustible resource of Spirit is equal to every demand. Abundance is here and now manifest.

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

A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet dachshund along, for company. One day, the dachshund starts chasing butterflies and before long, the dachshund discovers that he is lost. So, wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having lunch.

The dachshund thinks, “OK, I’m in deep trouble now!” Then he noticed some bones on the ground close by, and immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat.

Just as the leopard is about to leap, the dachshund exclaims loudly, “Boy, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here.”

Hearing this, the leopard halts his attack in mid-stride, as a look of terror comes over him, and slinks away into the trees. “Whew,” says the leopard.

“That was close. That dachshund nearly had me.”

Meanwhile, a monkey, who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So, off he goes. But the dachshund saw him heading after the leopard with great speed and figured that something must be up.

The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, “Here monkey, hop on my back and see what’s going to happen to that conniving canine.”

Now the dachshund sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and thinks, “What am I going to do now?” But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn’t seen them yet … and, just when they get close enough to hear, the dachshund says … “Where’s that monkey? I sent him off, half an hour ago, to bring me another leopard.”

“Peace! Be Still.”
Mark 4:39

SLOW DOWN THERAPY

1. Slow down; God is still in heaven. You are not responsible for doing it all yourself.

2. Remember a happy, peaceful time in your past. Rest there. Each moment has richness that takes a lifetime to savor.

3. Set your own pace. When someone is pushing you, it’s OK to tell them they are pushing.

4. Take nothing for granted: watch water flow, the corn grow, the leaves blow, your neighbor mow.

5. Taste your food. God gives it to delight as well as to nourish.

6. Notice the sun and the moon as they rise and set. They are remarkable for their steady pattern of movement, not their speed.

7. Quit planning how you are going to use what you know, learn, or possess. God’s gifts just are be grateful and their purpose will be clear.

8. When you talk with someone, don’t think about what you’ll say next. Thoughts will spring up naturally if you let them.

9. Talk and play with children. It will bring out the unhurried little person inside you.

10. Create a place in your home at your work in your heart where you can go for quiet and recollection. You deserve it.

11. Allow yourself time to be lazy and unproductive. Rest is not a luxury; it is necessity.

12. Listen to the wind blow. It carries a message of yesterday, tomorrow, and now. NOW counts.

13. Rest on your laurels. They bring comfort whatever their size, age, or condition.

14. Talk slower. Talk less. Do not talk. Communication is not measured by words.

15. Give yourself permission to be late sometimes. Life is for living, not scheduling.

16. Listen to the song of a bird; the complete song. Music and nature are gifts, but only if you are willing to receive them.

17. Take time just to think. Action is good and necessary, but it’s fruitful only if we muse, ponder, and mull.

18. Make time for play – the things you like to do. Whatever your age, your inner child needs re-creation.

19. Watch and listen to the night sky. It speaks.

20. Listen to the words you speak, especially in prayer.

21. Learn to stand back and let others take their turn as leaders. There will always be new opportunities for you to step out in front again.

22. Divide big jobs into little jobs. If God took six days to create the universe, can you hope to do any better?

23. When you find yourself rushing and anxious, stop. Ask yourself “WHY?” you are rushing and anxious. The reasons may improve your self-understanding.

24. Take time to read the Bible. Thoughtful reading is enriching reading.

25. Direct your life with purposeful choices, not with speed and efficiency. The best musician is one who plays with statement and meaning, not the one who finishes first.

26. Take a day off alone; make a retreat. You can learn from monks and hermits without becoming one.

27. Take time once a year for more than just a vacation; do something spiritual to renew you.

28. Work with your hands. It frees the mind.

29. Take time to wonder. Without wonder, life is merely existence.

30. Sit in the dark. It will teach you to see and hear, taste and smell.

31. Once in a while, turn down the lights, the volume, the throttle, the invitations. Less really can be more.

32. Let go. Nothing is usually the hardest thing to do – but often it is the best.

33. Take a walk – but do not go anywhere. If you walk just to get somewhere, you sacrifice the walking.

34. Count your friends. If you have one, you are lucky. If you have more, you are blessed. Bless them in return.

35. Count your blessings – one at a time and slowly

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, please teach me how to slow down so that I may rediscover what is missing in my life. God, help me not to miss anything.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:

The fearless power of the Spirit of God goes before me and makes it easy the way.

Positive Daily Inspiration - April 14, 2023
God Is Your Watch Keeper

“This I know, that God is for me … in God I trust without a fear.”
Psalms 56:9-11

With God as your God, you can let go of any sense of haste, rush, or hurry. You can let go of impatience or stress. You can trust the Presence of God to be with you, through every hour of every day. You can trust God to lead and guide you, in the right, productive, and beneficial ways. As you constantly turn to God for Divine guidance, you are assured of always being in the right place at the right time. You are guided to do the right thing in the right way. Turning to God and relying on God’s God watches your time and timing helping you to be relaxed and poised.

Do you have some project that seems to hinge on right timing? You place the situation, everyone concerned, and especially yourself, in the loving care of God, knowing that God’s timing is always perfect. All things work together for your good when you look to God for guidance, for the will of God is the highest and best to which you can aspire.

When we are nervous and filled with a need to rush or hurry, we are really seeking safety in life. We have a need as humans to know that everything is taken care of.

The Spirit of God is always with you, and you are Divinely protected and watched over. You and everything that concerns you are held secure in the life, light, and love of God. Wherever you go, near or far, by whatever mode of travel, you are in God’s loving, protecting presence and under the law of God’s Divine timing. There is no place where God is not already present. As you hold to your faith, you feel God’s all providing, all-powerful, all loving, all protecting presence with you and all around you, bringing perfect timing to every situation. God’s Divine timing works at all times and in all places.

You follow Jesus, by allowing God to be your time manager. You allow God to be loving companion, your guide, your protector, your illuminator. God’s grace and miracle-performing timing power are with you now.

Knowing that God is with you, you are filled with happy, joyous, confident expectations, and you relax and enjoy the time in your life. You maintain a positive attitude that works with God’s Divine timing that will attract your highest good to you, constantly. You walk through life knowing that God is with you, and you trust without a fear.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Thank You God for being the watch keeper of my life.
Keeping me on time, and the events of my life on time.
Everything is in divine order with divine timing thanks to You.

In Jesus Christ name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
I live within the zone of God’s perfect time keeping.
Everything is on time in my life, and I am in tune with the precision
of the exact moment for the best outcome.

Amen

Positive Daily Inspiration – April 13, 2023 – REFLECTIONS OF FAITH

Positive Daily Inspiration - April 13, 2023
REFLECTIONS OF FAITH

“All things are possible to you if you believe.”
Mark 9:23

Your life reflects what you are feeling inside. Have you ever noticed that when you feel upset on the inside, your world around you seems to be in confusion, also? The opposite is true as well – when you feel calm and at peace, the world takes on a calmer look and feel.

When you are happy inside, it seems as if you draw happy events to yourself. When you are feeling loving thoughts, your world seems to bend over backwards to be kind and loving, back to you. With God all things are possible. Believe in God instead of giving power to things that upset you. God can bring you calm and peace. Believe in God instead of giving power to unhappy memories. God can bring you happiness and joy. These will be reflected in your life TODAY. Believe in the power of God’s love. Believe that you can live from the love of God within you, and believe in your ability to make a difference in your world. Your faith is strong, today, so you can be calm and at peace.

As Jesus did, know the security of God’s love and caring as a tremendous blessing to you, as you go about your day. With God’s love embracing you, you do not fear knowing what could happen or might happen. You do know, beyond a doubt, that the presence of God is always with you. Your confidence is only in God, and this is reflected in every aspect of your daily living.

God’s protecting presence is also with the people that you love and care about. God is their strength, as well as your strength. With your own eyes, you will see it reflected in their confidence and renewed abilities to meet life successfully.

In the middle of a crisis, you may become caught up in trying to think of some way – any way – out of it. Yet, when you pause for a moment and take a deep breath, you begin to understand that the way to peace and calm is not getting out of a situation it is going to God in prayer. With God, we can each become our own internal center of peace.

God welcomes you to a place of unconditional love. Here is where all pressure and stress melt away. Aware of the presence of God, you are also aware that the life of God strengthens you and the love of God comforts you. And most important, these wonderful qualities flow through you and are reflected in all of your life.

No matter where you are, or what you are going through, you have a sanctuary of peace and calm where you can withdraw to and be refreshed and renewed. Inner peace radiates out into all that you do and say.

Today, you choose to allow your faith to be reflected in every aspect of your life.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:
Dear God, walk through my house and take away all my worries and illnesses and please watch over and heal my family in Jesus name, Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
Something good will happen to me today, something that I have been waiting for to hear.

Positive Daily Inspiration – April 12, 2023 – GRACE

Positive Daily Inspiration - April 12, 2023
GRACE

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone be found boasting. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
Ephesians 2:8-10

People often ask, “What is grace?”

A woman from Nevada writes this it perfectly explains the blessing of grace.

I left work, early, so I could have some uninterrupted study time, right before the final in my Youth Issues class. When I got to class, everybody was doing their last-minute studying. The teacher came in and said he would review with us for just a little bit before the test. We went through the review, most of it right on the study guide, but there were some things he was reviewing that I had never heard. When questioned about it, he said that they were in the book and that we were responsible for everything in the book. We could not really argue with that.

Finally, it was time to take the test.

“Leave them face down on the desk until everyone has one and I’ll tell you to start,” our professor instructed.

When we turned them over, every answer on the test was filled in! The bottom of the last page said the following:

“This is the end of the Final Exam. All the answers on your test are correct. You will receive an ‘A’ on the final exam. The reason you passed the test is because the creator of the test took it for you. All the work you did in preparation for this test did not help you get the A. You have just experienced … grAce.”

He then went around the room and asked each student individually, “What is your grade? Do you deserve the grade you are receiving? How much did all your studying for this exam help you achieve your final grade?”

Now I am not a crier by any stretch of the imagination, but I had to fight back tears when answering those questions and thinking about how the Creator had passed the test for me.

Discussion afterward went like this: “I have tried to teach you all semester that you are a recipient of grace. I have tried to communicate to you that you need to demonstrate this gift as you work with young people. Do not hammer them; they are not the enemy. Help them, for they will carry on your ministry, if it is full of GRACE!”

Talking about how some of us had probably studied hours and some just a few minutes but had all received the same grade, he pointed to a story Jesus told in Matthew 20. The owner of a vineyard hired people to work in his field and agreed to pay them a certain amount. Several different times during the day, he hired more workers. When it was time to pay them, they all received the same amount. When the ones who had been hired first thing in the morning began complaining, the boss said, “Should you be angry because I am kind?”
(Matthew 20:15).

The teacher said he had never done this kind of final before and probably, would never do it again, but because of the content of many of our class discussions, he felt like we needed to experience grace.

Have you thanked God today because of the grace you have experienced?

Positive Daily Inspiration – April 11, 2023 – Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

Positive Daily Inspiration - April 11, 2023
Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

“The Lord is the strength of God’s people.”
Psalms 28:8

In prayer, I am drifting away from past limitations that I have placed upon myself.

Jesus Christ is here in my midst, raising me up.

With God, I am going beyond the failures I have had in my lifetime, and I am receiving a course correction from God.

In prayer, I receive the illumination and the guidance, along with the gentle comfort of God.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

Jesus said, “You are a child of the living God.”

There is a strong connection between God and me.

God and I are connected in prayer right now.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

My life is God-given life and abundant living.

My life is strength.

My life is courage because I know, without a doubt, that God is with me.

I am patient.

I rest in God.

I am not anxious about anything.

I realize that God is working.

I let go and I let God.

God is magnificent.

How great Thou art!

There is a peace inside of me that passes human understanding.

It is at the core of my being.

It is God-given well-being.

I decree, in Jesus Christ’s name, that this feeling of well-being will stay with me, all the hours and minutes of this week.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

I have a power inside of me to climb over the hill of past failure, to realize that it is nothing at all for a climber. And I am a climber, because there is that within me that is God-given, that is giving me the power to climb and go higher.

Dear God, I wish to go up higher than I have ever gone before. I never realized Your presence, many times, in my life. I consent now to realizing it more.

Dear God, I consent this day to realizing God in a new and a profound way. I know, dear God, that You are always fresh, new, and exciting. I pray that You are all those, and more inside of me, this day. I give thanks for Your presence.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

The grace of God is working in your life right now. The grace of God is alive in every aspect of your life. The grace of God is your assurance of all good things.

In Jesus Christ’s name, I give thanks. Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
Through the power of God every problem I have can be solved, every need can be met.

Positive Daily Inspiration – April 10, 2023 – When Life Becomes Challenging

Positive Daily Inspiration - April 10, 2023
When Life Becomes Challenging

“Cast your cares on the LORD and God will sustain you; God will never let the righteous fall.”
Psalm 55:22

When life becomes challenging, do you ever just want to run away from it? To a place where no one knows you, and your problems are all erased? Do you just want to find a hole, crawl into it, and hide … forever? Do you wish you were a child, again, depending upon someone else to take care of whatever life’s challenges may home? Just to be held and told that everything is all right, and there is no need to worry?

In our Bible, Deuteronomy 33:27 states, “The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.”

Whenever the challenges of life seem to be too much to handle – whenever you wonder what God was thinking when he laid a particular burden upon you, because surely you are not strong enough to bear it – God is there for you.

God is there to hold you, in Spirit. God guides you towards all solutions, all answers. God guides to you, all people, all resources, all sustenance that you need, each and every moment.

We imagine, in our minds, that we let go, mentally, emotionally, and physically, all that worries us, all that causes us anxiety, and all that causes us fear.

As we imagine letting go, we can imagine God’s everlasting arms holding us. Holding us closely and safely.

As we imagine being held by God, our breathing becomes easy and gentle. Our minds become calm and peaceful. Our bodies relax. Our emotions settle into Divine tranquility.

As we rest, we are renewed by God’s strength surging through us. God’s strength, God’s intelligence, God’s imagination are all ours to use within our lives. As we let go, we let God work and play through us, bringing us through our challenges and bringing us to God’s absolute peace.

Throughout the day, we are reminded that God is with us, guiding us through each and every decision. We can depend upon God to guide us, effortlessly, safely, and loving. God tells us that everything is all right; there is no need to worry.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Psalm 23

The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:

God is my comfort, God is my peace, God is my rest that I seek.
