I identify myself with abundance. I surrender all
fear and doubt; I let go of all uncertainty. I know there is no lack of
any good thing in my experience for the Presence of God is within me.
The freedom of God is my freedom and I now cease dwelling on limitation and
give my earnest attention to the particular abundance I desire. The
Abundance of God fills my good desire right now.

Today I accept my own affirmations. There is
nothing in me that can contradict them. I have a deep inward sense, a
feeling and conviction and complete faith that there is a Law of Good
governing everything, and that It is governing completely, with absolute
certainty, without deviation, with no exception; that there is nothing to
oppose It, nothing to change It, nothing to limit or circumscribe Its
action. I abandon myself to this faith. I live in its atmosphere
and accept its conclusion. I know that I am a Divine being on the
pathway of an endless self-expression and that the Eternal God is my host,
now and forevermore.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today I affirm the All-Good and in this affirmation I
deny that there is any presence or power of real evil in the Universe.
I affirm the presence of love and repudiate every belief that hate has any
power. I affirm peace and deny confusion. I affirm joy and
declare that sadness has no place in my consciousness. I affirm that
God is over all, in all, and through all. There is nothing out of the
past that can limit me and there is nothing in me that can limit my future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today I seek the Divine pattern at the center of my own
being. Affirming its reality, I permit its essence to flow through
me. Claiming it as my very own, I embrace it. Believing in its
beauty, I sense its harmony. Accepting its peace, I am calm. Living
in its love, I am unified with life. Believing in its power, with
childlike faith I accept the authority of its action in my everyday
affairs. And looking at the God in man, I see in everyone the pattern
of His perfection, the image of His likeness, and the joy of His being.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is the right position for me, now, and I accept
the activity of God which places me in it. Nothing can hinder the
creative action of the One Mind in and through me and all necessary channels
open up for it to be properly expressed. "I have a wonderful work
in a wonderful way, and I give wonderful service for wonderful
pay." For all this, in deep gratitude, I do give thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today I go forth in joy, knowing that everyone is my
friend, knowing that I am a friend to all people. I believe that Divine
Love protects me and Divine Intelligence guides me. It is my sincere
desire to share everything I have with others and to expect for them the
greatest good which I hope for myself. In this way life becomes a
communion of Spirit with Spirit. Knowing that the same Spirit, the One
Spirit of the living God, is in all, over all, and through all, I believe in
and accept a good greater than I have ever experienced.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I know I cannot be apart from God. Created in His
image and likeness, I am established in His Life and surrounded by His
Good. Past mistakes no longer rob me of today's happiness, and I know
the future holds only the promise of a more complete expression of the
God-self within. Fear is no part of that which is All-Good and I
release it gladly. I let my confidence be in the Good which flows from
God. This I now claim and know is mine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today I forgive everyone and accept forgiveness by
everyone. I know the eternal Spirit harbors no malice toward me or
anyone else. Forgiving and being forgiven, I have an inward sense of
peace and tranquillity. There is no anxiety, no sense of guilt, no fear
of judgment. All mistakes of the past are now wiped out in my
consciousness and I no longer carry any burden from them. I look
forward to the future with joy, in peace and gladness, and live in the
present day with an inner assurance of being one with all life.

Since there is but One Life present everywhere, I must
be in that Life and of It, and It must flow through me. It must be what
I am, therefore I accept this Omnipresence as something real, definite,
immediate. At the very center of my own being I realize the Divine
Presence. At the center of my own consciousness I recognize a
transcendent Principle forever renewing my being; a Divine Presence forever
animating, sustaining, vitalizing, re-creating; a Divine Consciousness
forever guiding, directing, inspiring. There is within me that which
knows what to do and compels me to act in accord with its perfect Law and
Order, and its complete Peace. This I accept, and even as I affirm it I
know that this Omnipresence is alive and awake and aware within me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today I affirm the supremacy of Good and everything
within me responds to this thought, understands its meaning, and announces
its presence. There is a Power greater than I am flowing through me
into everything I do or think about, automatically making everything
right. There is a Transcendence coordinating, unifying, causing all the
experiences of my life to blend into Its unity, into Its oneness, and
proclaiming the power of Its might. As a child accepts life without
question, and love without argument, and action without anxiety, so do I
spontaneously accept the operation of a Power greater than I am as the Divine
Governor of everything I do, the Divine Provider of all my needs, the Divine
Presence diffused through all my thinking.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Every thought of not being wanted, or of being afraid;
every thought of uncertainty and doubt is cast out of my mind. I rely
on God alone, in whom I live, move, and have my being. A sense of peace
and certainty flows through me. I am surrounded with friendship, love,
and beauty. Enthusiasm, joy vitality, and inspiration are in everything
I do. I accept complete happiness, abundant health, and increasing
prosperity. I have confidence in my self because I have confidence in
God. I am sure of myself because I am sure of God.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today my heart beats in perfect rhythm, and its
tireless and effortless pulsations are steady, calm, and continuous.
God created it and I now permit God to sustain its perfect action. I
cease burdening its action with fear, violent emotions, anxiety, and doubt;
and I accept the wisdom, love, and harmonious activity of God in my body and
affairs. The perfect action of the One Life is manifesting in my heart
right now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today I practice being my real self. In so doing
I do not deny others the same privilege, but seek to find in them the same
miracle of life, the same wonder of being , the same delight in
existence. Today I realize that all the Good there is, all the Presence
there is, all the Power there is, is immediately available and immediately
responsive to me. Today I enter into the faith of believing, the joy of
knowing, and the act of living which proclaim the One Power and Presence in
all things. And today, as a child, I accept this Presence that responds
to me as warm, personal, and colorful. It is within and around and
through me even as It embraces all things. Today I accept my
partnership with the Infinite.

Yesterday is gone, tomorrow has not arrived, but today
I am living in an eternal present filled with an everlasting good.
There is nothing unhappy or morbid that can remain in my consciousness.
I no longer have any fear of yesterday nor do I anticipate tomorrow with
anything other than enthusiastic expectation. Everything that was good
in yesterday shall perpetuate itself in my experience. Everything good
in today shall create my future. Therefore I have no fear either in
looking forward or backward but realize the eternal day in which I now
live. In this day there is no fear, no lack, no want, no doubt, no
misunderstanding, no uncertainty. Today is big with hope fulfilled,
with love and life well lived. Tomorrow will provide its own blessings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today I bestow the essence of love upon
everything. Everyone I meet shall be lovely to me. My soul meets
the soul of the Universe in everyone. This love is a healing power
touching everything into wholeness.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today my love goes out to all people and all
things. There is no fear in this love, for perfect love casts out all
fear. There is no doubt in this love, for faith penetrates all doubt
and reveals a unity at the center of everything that embraces all things.
This love flowing through me harmonizes everything in my experience, brings
joy and gladness to everything, brings a sense of security and well-being to
everyone. And I realize that the love flowing through, in, and around
me and all things is one vast all-enveloping Love forever emanating from the
living God.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today I express myself, believing that there is a
Presence hidden within me which is both the Reality of my true being and the
Presence of God. I consciously unite my personal self and all of its
actions with this over-dwelling and indwelling Reality. I know that the
vitality of the living Spirit flows through my personality, invigorating
it. I know that all of the warmth and color and beauty that is
there pours through it. I do not deny my personality, rather I affirm
that all of its impulsions and actions flow from a greater Source, the true
Reality of the living Self, the Presence of God in me as what I am; and does
reveal to me the same Reality in others, the same exalted Divinity
manifesting Itself through the innumerable faces of humanity.

I affirm that my body is a body of right ideas, for it
is the creation of God. Every organ, action, and function of it is in
harmony. Whatever does not belong to my body is eliminated.
Whatever does not belong is being removed continuously. All the energy
and all the action and power and vitality there is in the Universe is flowing
through this Divine creation now. My body is established in the action
of that harmony which eternally exists. There is One Life--perfect,
harmonious, whole, complete. That Life is my life now--not yesterday or
tomorrow, but today.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So shall my word be that goeth forth out my
mouth...." I affirm that it is the word of God establishing
harmony in my experience. With utmost simplicity I accept my own
affirmation and believe in the answer to my own prayer because it is a prayer
of acceptance. There is an Intelligence, a Power, and a Divine Presence
operating in and through my life, guiding, directing, governing, bringing
good to pass in my experience. This affirmation of acceptance endlessly
repeats itself in my experience, for whatever I identify my word with is
lifted up in consciousness to the level of my acceptance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Spirit within me knows the answer to the problem
which confronts me. I know that the answer is here and now. It is
within my own mind because God is right where I am . I now turn from
the problem to Spirit, accepting the answer. In calm confidence, in
perfect trust, in abiding faith, and with complete peace I let go of the
problem and receive the answer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Accepting that the Law of Good is right where I am, I
announce the Presence and the Activity of this Law in all my affairs, knowing
that they are governed by Divine Intelligence. Today everything in my
life comes under the control of this Intelligence. Everything is
harmonized by It and unified with It. Consequently, I completely accept
Divine guidance. I know that I shall be guided in everything I think,
say, and do, and I know that peace and joy and happiness shall flow from me
to everyone I meet. Today everything in my experience is made glad, and
joy goes before me making every experience happy and radiant with life.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today I affirm the action of the Law of God.
Today I accept the result of my own affirmation. I ask no one for any
justification of my conviction. Boldly I proclaim the Divine Presence
and humbly and with complete conviction I accept the revelation of that
Presence in every avenue of my life. This conviction in the integrity
of my own soul I proclaim, with no fear of opposition. Alone with God
and the Law of Good, I make my claims upon the Infinite, the Divine hidden in
everything, the dynamic Law of creativeness in all things.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today I expect the more abundant life by keeping my
every thought and expectation open to new experiences, to happier events, to
a more complete self-expression. Giving out more love, I know a greater
love in return. Sharing with life whatever good things I have, I know
life shares with me the good that it possesses. Seeing beauty
everywhere, I have a revelation of still more beauty. Seeing joy in
everything, I know genuine laughter. More deeply sensing the Divine
Tranquillity in which all things exist, I have a deeper consciousness of
peace and security. Through it all I know that I am in the embrace of a
warm, loving Presence forever seeking an outlet through me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Everything that I think, say, or do is governed by
Divine Intelligence and inspired by Divine Wisdom. I am guided into
right action. I have confidence in myself because I have confidence in
God. I am sure of myself because I am sure of God. I am aware of
my partnership with the Infinite. I know that everything I do shall
prosper.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Law of Good is flowing through me. I am one
with the rhythm of Life. There is nothing to be afraid of.
There is nothing to be uncertain about. God is over all, in all, and
through all. God is right where I am. I am at peace with the
world in which I live. I am at home with the Divine Spirit in which I
am immersed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Today I express myself with joy and enthusiasm. I
live more abundantly and I accept the possibility and the
responsibility. I look more deeply into the heart of all people finding
there the pulsation of the Heart of the Universe Itself. I penetrate
all externals and reveal the Divine Presence hidden there, the Presence of
the living God. And I know in this my self-seeking, this my
self-expression of the abundance of the Whole, there is nothing little or
mean, there is nothing isolated or separate from the All-Good. This
Good is to me even as It is to others. As I lift high the chalice of my
hope and faith I know that it shall overflow, that everything I do shall be
blessed, every good I seek shall be expressed through me, and everyone I meet
shall proclaim anew to me that God, the living Presence, is expressing
Himself through all humanity and rejoicing in that which He does.

My stomach is created by Divine Intelligence as the
perfect organ of digestion. This Wisdom sustains and maintains its
every action and function. No food, thought, or emotion now interferes
with the ease and comfort of its activity, for I now accept the harmonious
expression of God in me, which keeps my stomach renewed and the process of
digestion perfect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I know exactly what to do in every situation.
Every idea necessary to successful living is brought to my attention.
The doorway to ever-increasing opportunities for self-expression is open
before me. I am continually meeting new and larger experiences.
Every day brings some greater good. Every day brings more blessings and
greater self-expression. There is no deferment, no delay, no
obstruction or obstacle to impede the progress of successful action in my
affairs. I am prospered in everything I do.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I know that I am a creation of God and have my
existence in and am maintained by Him. In God there are no failures;
there is nothing that can prevent God from succeeding. I now permit
God's Action to express fully through me. I meet with success for I now
accept completion of my every good undertaking. My success is the
success of God.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Divine Abundance is forever manifesting Itself in my
affairs. I desire to do only that which is good and constructive,
life-giving and life-expressing. Therefore I know that I shall prosper
in everything I do. I know that I exist in limitless possibility, and
that the infinite Good is right where I am and active in my experience.
I believe that everything for complete self-expression is now the law of my
individual being. New thoughts, new ideas, new situations are forever
unfolding before me. There are new opportunities for self-expression
and for abundant life and love and happiness. This I expect, and this I
accept.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I know that there is, right now, the balanced activity
of the One Life in my body. All food is used properly, and that idea
which may have caused me to eat too much or too little is now
relinquished. Weight needed is added; all excess weight is discarded.
The Wisdom which created my body now sustains it in all ways as I, without
reservation, now continually accept Its perfect action.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
God does not give Himself in part; nothing of Good has
ever been withheld from me. I dwell in Wholeness and have access to all
that may illumine my mind, maintain my body, and rightly govern my
affairs. My spirit is the Spirit of God in me which gives me the use of
a Power that brings my thought into form. I now let my thought be of
the Wholeness of God and confidently accept Its manifestation with
thanksgiving.
