Maundy Thursday - The Day of Christ's Great Commandment
A Positive Daily Inspiration Classic

Maundy Thursday – The Day of Christ’s Great Commandment

“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
John 13: 34-35

Jesus great commandment was given. Jesus says that if you are truly going to follow me as a Christian you must love all people, everywhere, every time without exception. When you become love like this, you become like Jesus and you worship God in the proper way, and all will know that you are a disciple of the living Christ.

Maundy Thursday, also called Holy Thursday, is a service to commemorate Jesus’ Last Supper and the beginning of the sacrament, the Lord’s Supper. The word Maundy comes from the Latin mandatum, which means “commandment.”

At the Last Supper, Jesus gave the disciples a new commandment to love one another as he had loved them. Prior to breaking the bread with the disciples, Jesus washed their feet.

Maundy Thursday worship services often include Holy Communion and sometimes foot washing as well.

Jesus Christ is the greatest servant the world is ever known. In washing the feet of his disciples Jesus demonstrated the humble role of service to others, which we must be willing to take upon ourselves during our lives.

In both the ancient and modern Middle East, the feet are considered the dirtiest part of the body. Usually covered only by open sandals, the feet were constantly trotting in the dust and dirt during the summer months. In the winter, the rain turned red terra rosa and rendzina soils turn the black basaltic earth into thick, wet mud, making it impassable in many parts of the land. One step in the mire leaves dark clods of mud stuck to the feet.

In biblical times it was customary to remove the sandals before entering a house or holy place. Harsh insult was to kick another person with your feet. The ultimate triumph over an enemy was to make him your footstool.

The Gospels record that Jesus began to wash each of the disciples’ feet, taking it upon Himself the lowliest of all tasks. When Jesus began to wash Peter’s feet, the fisherman objected vehemently. Jesus was too far above this degrading act.

Yet, Jesus replied clearly, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call me teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example that you should do as I have done to you.” John 13:12-15

By His actions, He taught us that true greatness is accompanied by loving service, and success comes through serving others.

On Maundy Thursday, Jesus gave us His greatest commandment verbally, and through demonstration.

Mark 9:35 states, “If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.”

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Teach me to rise above my former self so that I may live, and demonstrate, the exalted state of God’s love. Humble me so that I may serve others before I seek to be served.

Change me at depth, so that I may carry a profound love for all others in my heart.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen

Dear God, on this Easter week, I not only prepare to dress up in my finest clothes, I prepare to exhibit Your gifts given to me to bless others. I will use my special talents and abilities to brighten the world around me.

My gifts may have the ability to make someone laugh or be a good listener. I may have the aptitude for creative thinking or for creative doing — using my mind and my hands to create something beautiful for God and humankind. All that I have been given, I use to express my appreciation of God’s grace.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
I am God’s love in action.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE:

Robert Schuler said, “When God brings a seemingly humbling, degrading responsibility into our life, we should accept it with positive joy.”

Positive Daily Inspiration – April 5, 2023 – UNCOVER, DISCOVER, RECOVER

Positive Daily Inspiration - April 5, 2023
UNCOVER, DISCOVER, RECOVER

“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts higher than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:9

Uncover

Sometimes we are oblivious to the greatest gifts of God. They can be right before our eyes and yet, they remain invisible to our comprehension.

WE Pray today, that all that remains hidden to our eyes will be uncovered.

WE Pray for enlightenment.

WE Pray for new understanding of old problems.

With God, all things hidden become exposed.

We pray that there are surprises on our path, and that the only surprises are positive ones.

We pray that new talents are found, and open doors are revealed.

Discover

There is always more good of God to discover about life and living. Jesus Christ lived to call you to more life. There is an adventure that awaits you in your life. There are new paths and exciting discovery to be done. Nothing is as sweet in life as making new, positive discoveries. Like an Explorer, you venture into new territories of living with God as your guide. God-given abilities, new talents, new opportunities, new friendships, and love await you, on God’s path.

As the prophet Isaiah said, God’s ways are higher than human ways, and God’s thoughts are higher than our own human thought. Prayer can be a time of discovery as we allow the Divine ideas of God to enter our human mind and our thought processes. Everything changes when we see our life from a higher vantage point.

Recover

My dear friend do you need to recharge, heal, or regroup? God brings recovery to you faster than sleep, and faster than human time. Spirituality is beyond the human measurements of time and space.

God’s recovery is complete and full. God’s recharge brings you back to FULL charge! No longer drained, you move forward with full steam ahead.

Living life can sometimes be draining, but as you turn to God, God will restore you to fullness of life.

Today, you may be asking for an uncovering of what is hidden. You may be praying to discover the special spark of life that will turn your life on again. You may need recovery from past pains. Know, dear friend, as you turn to God, God turns to you. God wants you to have a good life and the abundant life.

I pray, today, with you, that you uncover the uncovered, that you discover the undiscovered, and that you recover from that area of your life that has taken away your power.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God,

I pray that You will help me today to find what may be hidden, and rediscover my God-given good.

I pray that today is miraculous in my life.

In Jesus Christ name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
I accept the gift of knowledge from God and make the most of it.

Positive Daily Inspiration – April 4, 2023 – Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

Positive Daily Inspiration - April 4, 2023
Tuesday Prayer and Meditation
A Classic for Easter Week

“This is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalms 118:24

In this moment of prayer, we join with, and follow Jesus Christ by turning our thoughts to prayer.

Jesus taught us many things in His ministry, especially about the power each of us was within. By following His example, we learn how to tap into this power and use it in our daily lives.

During this Easter prayer time, let us center ourselves in the Christ power. The power of the Christ is unlimited. In this awareness, we relax by taking a deep breath. As we breathe in, we feel the energy of God filling us. As we breathe out, we let go of any concern.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

Our minds are free, and our bodies are relaxed in God. Our hearts are open and willing, and we are strong and secure.

(Silence)

The power of the Christ restores and resurrects you. You give thanks for this power, knowing it is greater than any challenge you face.

With an awareness of the Christ deep within your soul, affirm with me: The resurrecting power of the Christ fills my soul with peace.

The Christ is our security. The Christ guides you, restores order in your life, uplifts you, and encourages you.

You open yourself to the new experiences that the Christ offers. These experiences, simple as a new idea or helpful as a right answer, are your guidance and your assurance that you are following the right path.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

Jesus said, Follow me. We follow Jesus Christ’s example on this Easter week as we trust in the power of God. We are not anxious about when or how our answers will come. The Christ is our answer.

In an awareness of the Christ helping us with the decisions and choices in our lives, we affirm silently our prayer for guidance: The resurrecting power of the Christ illumines the path before me.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

Now we pray for healing. Our bodies are sacred temples filled with the power of the Christ. As you sit in this room, you feel healing power surging through you. You are energized and strengthened.

In the quiet of this moment, you are aware of the rhythm of your breathing and the beating of your heart. This rhythm is the rhythm of life – the encompassing life of which you are a part.

Aware of this rhythm, you attune yourself to the healing power of Christ. The Christ power is loving and healing. It is always within you. It is ready right now to restore, strengthen, and resurrect each cell.

Rest in the silence of prayer …

As we trust in the Christ, peace fills our hearts. As we sit in peace, we are confident that healing is taking place. The resurrecting power of Christ restores me to wholeness. Affirm this Truth for yourself and believe …

As our prayer time draws to a close, we feel resurrection in faith, and we feel continued strength and peace knowing that the Christ power abides with us and within us every day.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen.

Positive Daily Inspiration – April 3, 2023 – HOLY GROUND

Positive Daily Inspiration - April 3, 2023
HOLY GROUND

“The place on which you are standing is holy ground.”
Exodus 3:5

Right where you are, you can hold worship services, because God is with you. You are never alone. You can’t be alone because God is with you.

In the storms of life, both inner and outer, you are steady and serene, when you realize that the place on which you are standing is holy ground.

There may be times when the atmosphere around you is charged with emotion and when tempers flare. You can bring peace to the place where you are by knowing that God is there, and God’s love is there – and God’s power is there!

There may be times when the need is for inner peace, for a relaxing of tension and nervousness. The place on which you are standing is holy ground. God is with you and within you. God can give you control of your moods and emotions and bless you with profound peace.

Jesus says it in Luke 12:32, “Fear not, little flock, for it is your father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”

Right where you are standing, you CAN contact God. It is God’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom, and so you accept God’s good now. You do not put off this spiritual experience until some imaginary day – this is the day – this is the place – right where you are standing!

You no longer fear, for you are holding worship services in the temple of the living God – your body.

You now accept the truth that God has made abundant provision for you, and that it is God’s good pleasure to give you this provision. The kingdom of God includes fulfillment, happiness, safety, serenity, beauty, vibrancy, and all the things that give your life purpose.

You no longer believe that only in bits and pieces, or now and then, can you experience the presence of God, for you know that right now – you are standing on holy ground.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

I say yes to the gift of the kingdom, which God generously and gladly gives to me.

Yes, dear God, I accept Your gift of serenity. Peace fills my soul and I know that all is well.

Yes, dear God, I accept Your gift of safety. I am safe and secure, wherever I go.

Yes, dear God, I accept Your gift of love. I feel Your unqualified acceptance of me as Your beloved child.

Yes, dear God, I accept the kingdom of good which You are giving me now.

Thank You, God.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
I am calm and poised in the presence of God. God’s love is magnified and multiplied through me, as me.

Positive Daily Inspiration Classic – April 2, 2023 – Palm Sunday

Positive Daily Inspiration Classic - April 2, 2023
Palm Sunday

John 12:12-13 “The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord.”

Palm Sunday is the day that Jesus made His triumphant entry into Jerusalem on the back of an unridden donkey. People along the way waved palm branches in welcome shouting “Hosanna – blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord”. They laid those palm branches as a sort of “red carpet” for his animal to walk on. Our desire to follow Jesus must contain more than following the physical man of Jesus Christ. We must honor Him by living His teachings in our own daily lives.

What teachings does Palm Sunday contain for us?

Jesus taught by example on Palm Sunday.

First – Riding a donkey into Jerusalem instead of a magnificent white horse, or golden chariot, shows confidence. This was confidence beyond human confidence. He rode the path in humility. There was no self-need to build Himself up through an outer show of flash or force. He was confident because he was one with God. There is no greater confidence than oneness with God. No matter what you face in life, if you are one with God, you can face it without a need to prove yourself to others or uplift yourself through outer things. You do not need outer proof because inside of you is the unshakable, unbreakable, undeniable confidence in an unfailing God.

Second – A miracle happened that day when Jesus successfully sat on the unridden donkey and, third, that he could guide and ride on that unridden donkey through shouting crowds, pressing-in crowds, and crowds waving palm branches.

This clearly shows the power of the Christ over a lower animal nature that would ordinarily buck and try to throw off its rider in fear.

We follow Jesus by allowing the Christ in us to ride over our own lower animal natures. The Christ within us can tame and bring peace to our wildest lower animal natures. Christ power can override, and successfully ride, that lower self through any harmful environment or negative peer group pressures that, before, would have swayed us back to a way of life that the lower self wallows in.

Do you have a bad habit that needs to be overridden? Then allow the Christ within you to override it. The Christ will successfully ride and tame addictions of the lower animal self to alcohol or drugs. The Christ will ride and tame angers or unforgiveness. No matter how the lower self in you defines itself, the Christ within you can override and tame its destructive ways.

No matter where you go, the Christ power goes with you protecting you from future temptations. You will be blessed inside of yourself and by people all around you because you come in the name (which means nature) of the Lord.

I bless you on this Palm Sunday in the hope that you will follow Jesus in this way.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, on this Palm Sunday, I ask You to help me override the lower animalistic tendencies of my lower self. I pray that the Christ rises in me and takes over. In Jesus Christ name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
I claim the fresh start of life that is being offered to me now.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE:
“The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.”
Benjamin Disraeli

Positive Daily Inspiration – April 1, 2023 – God Will NEVER FOOL Around With You

Positive Daily Inspiration - April 1, 2023
God Will NEVER FOOL Around With You

“Be still and know that I am God.”
PSALMS 46:10

Some people think that God is tricky and will try to fool and trap people. What we think about God often says more about us than about God. This has certainly not the God of Jesus Christ, and it’s not our God. God is love, and always seeks to give inspiration and wisdom to lift you above human predicament.

A “fool” could be defined as a person who becomes overly tense and anxious about some need or situation WITHOUT going to God.

If we are honest, all of us have been “fools” at some time or another. If we take a moment away from our busy, rat-race lives, close our eyes, and rest in the silence of prayer – there we will find God.

Bless yourself with these words:

“Be still. Be still. Be still. Be still and know that I am God.”

You will find restoration and renewal in stillness. You will find freedom from anxiety in stillness. In stillness of prayer, you will find peace, relaxation, and ease of mind and body.

In any healing need, speak these words:

“Be still. Be still. Be still. Be still and know that I am God. Be still and know that I am the life that heals. Be still and know that healing is taking place. Be still and know that I am God, that I am life.”

If there is a pressing financial need, you say these words to yourself:

“Be still. Be still. Be still. Be still and know that I am God. I am the source of your supply. I am the fountain of abundance, endlessly flowing. Be still. Be still. Be still. Be still and know that I am God. In Me, your every need is met.”

In Jesus Christ’s name. AMEN

Positive Daily Inspiration – March 31, 2023 – Freedom of Expression

Positive Daily Inspiration - March 31, 2023
Freedom of Expression

“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free.”
Romans 8:2

Let me tell you about a spiritual experience that I had on the hopes that you will have the same as you practice the principles that I am sharing.

I once worked for a large organization that was quite staid in its policies and practice. My weekly agenda was attending many, many committee meetings where nothing ever happened, and nothing ever would. I decided after a while that all the committee’s main purposes were to maintain the status quo.

I must admit that I felt imprisoned by my schedule and its lack of meaning.

I can remember times where I felt quite smothered in my creativity. Perhaps you feel this way in some area of your life.

When it really started to bother me, I started to silently pray during the meetings, “Through God I am free, free, free.”

Sometimes, I would pray that silently for an hour. THEN … Things started to change. Instead of feeling bottled up I placed new ideas on the table that were given to me by God. God changed the whole atmosphere into incubation rooms of creativity. Movement was started and how joyous was the ride.

It was quite miraculous. It was as if God changed the very air in the room to pure oxygen.

Dear friend, you are free. Through God you are free. You are free in spirit, free in mind, free in expression. Freedom does not mean leaving or fleeing. It is a mindset that unlocks the prisoner within the environment where she or he is.

With God’s help, nothing in the outer can bind or limit you.
Nothing has power to cast you down. God is greater!
You rise up in the truth of your true being this week.
This is your week to feel free again.
You know and claim your freedom directly from God now.
This week you are free to enjoy life.
This week you are free to use your God-given power and abilities.
This week you are free to express all the wealth of creative ideas that flow to you directly from the Mind of God.
You are free! Your heart is light and happy; your soul is glad and rejoices in the almighty.
Your spirit soars above former problems on the wings of prayer.
You reach up; you rise up – and you meet God. You view your world from the heights of God’s truth and again see all of its beauty and glory and wonder.
You are free! Free from care, free from sorrow free again to be happy today.
You are free to be loving and sharing today, free to be well and whole today.

You are free to be the perfect self which God created you to be. Spiritual freedom of expression gives you the ability to go beyond the blocks, above the ceilings and through the barriers that seem to limit you from fully expressing who and what you are.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, there may be areas of my life where I feel as if I’m imprisoned, help me to unlock my attitudes so that I can feel truly free. God help me to find new freedom from cells of self-imposed limitation so that I can fully follow and express your will.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:

I am free! I have freedom of expression. I have freedom of opportunity. I have freedom to become the best me I can be.

Positive Daily Inspiration – March 30, 2023 – Lift up, Rise up, and Live up

Positive Daily Inspiration - March 30, 2023
Lift up, Rise up, and Live up

“And I, when I am lifted up … will draw all men to myself.”
John 12:32

We speak of ourselves as “only human” and we speak of understanding some person’s frailties because he or she is “only human.” We use being “human” as an excuse to fail a little here and there in our relationships and actions in life.

If we take a slightly different view of ourselves, and our relations with others, and our world, we find that we have with us the Christ spirit. We are not “only human” – we are children of God and therefore filled with potential – we are divinely human.

Taking this approach, we can lift ourselves up to God instead of bringing ourselves down to the lowest human factor. We can see the Divine quality in living our daily lives.

With Divine love to share, we find understanding of ourselves and others. With Divine patience and peace to meet every day, we bring the ease and harmony into our home, our workplace, and our world. With Divine insight we see the infinite possibilities for good in ourselves and others.

When we are purchasing a product, we are often offered an upgrade, well it is time to upgrade ourselves and make our life divinely human. Spiritual life is not stagnant; it is positive growth.

We must lift up, rise up, and live up.

Because we are divinely human, we are able to lift up – on a daily basis, to God, to rise up – to our potential and to live up – to the Christ standards and ideals.

Say this aloud as a prayer:

I lift my thoughts to God;
I lift my speech to God;
I lift my actions to God;
I lift myself to God.

Help me to help!
Help me to understand;
Help me to communicate;
These are my desires.

I pray that I may stay close to God,
That these desires may be fulfilled.
I open my mind;
I accept;
I receive.

That it is troubling me dissolves and disappears.

I thank You, God, for Your inspiration.
I thank You, God, for Your help in every need.
I am grateful every moment for Your loving, guiding presence.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
I lift myself to God and I now see a new Divine quality in the living of my life.

Without faith, nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible.

Positive Daily Inspiration – March 29, 2023 – RIGIDITY

Positive Daily Inspiration - March 29, 2023
RIGIDITY

“Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is throwing into the oven, will God not much more cloth you, O people of little faith?”
Matthew 6:28

“There are three I’s in the word “rigidity.”
Joel Hughes.

Rigidity is defined by the three I’s contained within – In self, Inflexible, and Incomplete.

When people are rigid, they are firmly entrenched – In “self,” so much so, that they are probably blind to the truth that another (or God) could offer. They miss out because they believe that they have figured it ALL out and know ALL that they need to know.

They become – inflexible to other people’s needs, wants, and desires. The rigid person lives only for themselves, rarely coming out of the cocoon of their own known past truth. They live within the walls of self-protection. The rigid person is not open to innovative ideas; they condemn themselves to lives of simple mediocrity of trying to re-find “the good-old-times.”

They condemn themselves to – incomplete lives because they are not partnering with God, and other people. The rigid person fights and resists change of any kind, trying to maintain the status quo of what they know, instead of exploring what they do not know.

It is true that people prefer a known hell to an unknown heaven. The unknown of God is always better than the known present human world.

Rigidity stands on a foundation of fear. The lilies of the field bend with the winds of change. The lilies of the field relax and let go. They grow as the non-rigid person grows, beautiful to others on the outside, and spiritually strong and beautiful on the inside.

I have been a minister for decades. Much of that time I taught self-help, which is extremely important. But I also believe that a person must spiritually mature beyond that. Self-improvement is critical to grow spiritually. But the mature spiritual person must become concerned with other’s improvement.

We must become involved in something bigger than ourselves. We must be humble enough that we remain teachable. The rigid person can become much more than they are presently, if they allow God and others to teach them new and better ways. Life is for the living. To be alive we must be in a journey of discovery.

Life should always be exciting and new, and never stagnant.

I have found that every time I’ve been trapped by my own opinions and beliefs, I have missed great opportunities standing before me, waving a flag to get my attention inviting me to partake of a higher life. God always gives us the choice, and we have the free will to accept or to reject the good that God wants to give.

We live from the inside out. We do not have to be self-protective and rigid. We do not have to be like a clam, clammed up in self-protection. It is not protection; it is a prison. But the good news is we are the jailer. We hold the keys. We can rely upon God and be open to new ideas, new people, new ways, and new places. God will take care of us, clothing our outer and inner life with beauty and Divine good.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, take away my fear. I choose to no longer live my life afraid.
Jesus says, “God is love,” if You are love, whom do I fear?
I no longer fear God,
I no longer fear life,
I no longer fear new ideas.
I choose to be teachable,
and learn new and better ways.
I am not afraid of self-reinvention.

Thank You God!

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
I am always open and receptive to new and better ideas.

Positive Daily Inspiration – March 28, 2023 – Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

Positive Daily Inspiration - March 28, 2023
Tuesday Prayer and Meditation

“For I the Lord do not change.”
Malachi 3:6

Let us pray:

My own spiritual Self, be Thou quickened in me. Let me awaken to God’s light. Let God’s help illumine my mind, cleansing all doubt and unbelief. Let God fill my heart, cleansing and purifying until there is no darkness and no unforgiveness.

In the silence of prayer …

Let new spiritual power radiate in and through my body temple, healing, renewing, and restoring every atom, cell, organ, and function until my body glows with life.

Let Your help God flood my affairs, lifting them into the light of Your omnipresence.

Let Your love God harmonize all my relationships until love reigns supreme.

Let Your ideas God prosper, multiply, and magnify the good until I have plenty to spare and to share.

Let Your illumination God shine on my path, showing me the way to go and to be.

In the silence of prayer …

Dear God, let this day be a joyous realization that You are all I need and all I desire. Let me so attune myself to Your glory that it shines through me as a blessing to everyone in my life. I pray that Your love will flood my entire consciousness, and I will be free from all that would hinder or block me.

Dear God, activate in my mind/body, my thoughts, and feelings, so there is nothing but You. Dear God, I would be one with You. Expand my awareness and make me ever conscious of You in all I think, feel, and do.

This day, find me in a deeper, higher, and more illumined consciousness. I would have no will but Yours, no judgment but Yours, no way but Yours. Let hope, peace, love, and joy reign supreme, and joy be mine forever and ever.

In the silence of prayer …

For this holy feast of hope, and great expectation, we let the power of our imaginations cast blessings on all the events of the days ahead.

We dedicate ourselves as channels for the coming of the grace and truth of the Christ upon the earth.

We ask God’s blessings on our homes. We invite the prospering activity of the Holy Spirit to bless our homes with warmth, order, and love.

We ask God’s special blessings for children – their dreams, their hopes, their joy. We bless our children and behold in them the pure joy and beauty of christ love.

We ask the blessings of Divine graciousness on the direction of our lives. Divine love graciously and lavishly supplies the beauty living.

We ask God’s guidance to aid in the selection of the choices we will make in thing and in actions. Divine intelligence guides us in the living of our lives. We give lovingly, and we receive graciously.

Rest in the silence of prayer, in the glorious silence of God …

We ask for God’s presence to be at all gatherings of friends and families during this week. We know that Divine love will bring harmony, healing love, and enjoyment wherever two or more are gathered in God’s name this week.

We ask the peace of the Christ to manifest in the world this week. The Christ of peace expresses from every human heart, and earth rejoices in the spirit of brotherhood, sisterhood, and our oneness with God.

We ask God’s blessings on the lights of our lives. We pray that the lights illumine hearts of people everywhere.

Thank You, dear God, for the spiritual beauty of this week.

Rest again, in the glorious silence of prayer …

For the hope of this week, and the awareness of God’s help as never before, we give thanks.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen.

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION:
God is with me – my comfort at all times.

POSITIVE DAILY QUOTE:
“Those who live in the realization of their oneness with the Infinite Power become magnets to attract to themselves a continual supply of whatever things they desire. Those who are truly wise and who use the forces and powers with which they are endowed – to them the great universe always opens her treasure house.”
Ralph Waldo Trine
