Heavenly Father, keep their families in Your care. Bless and comfort them always. Let us be reminded of life , liberty, justice , freedom and democracy.

A Prayer of Giving Thanks

I give thanks for the special blessing of quiet communion with God. I give thanks for the love I feel flowing through me. The love I have in my heart is but a reflection of God’s great love. May I always remember this with humility and may I learn more and more to share this love with those whose lives touch mine. I give thanks for the sacred circle of prayer into which I can consciously enter anywhere, anytime. I see this circle expanding as I become more aware of God’s presence within. I see it growing to encompass the whole earth and each expression of divine life all people and all creatures. For the blessing of friends and loved ones, I am ever grateful. I recognize God’s loving spirit working in and through their lives. My prayer is to share with them the blessing of divine love as they share what they have to give with me. I give thanks for beauty-one sign of the abundance of God. I remember that God has given everything necessary for my spiritual, emotional and physical well-being. As I experience each present sensation and receive each loving gift and as I remember the joys of past experiences, I am grateful for God and all the wonders of creation. I remember not only in good times, but at all times to give thanks to God for everything. I know that each experience in my life is an opportunity to experience a deeper awareness of God, more of God’s blessings. In times of sorrow, God is with me, just as in times of great joy. In times of trouble, the presence of God is with me, just as it is in times of harmony and peace. I remember that God is the fulfillment of every need and the answer to every prayer. It is not in things or in circumstances that I find freedom from the things which seem wrong, unjust, or uncomfortable, but only in the awareness of God’s presence always within me. God is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning following each ending. Conscious of my unceasing blessings, I say, Thank You, God.

God’s Love

The love of God is within me around me moving through me. In these moments, my body and mind are relaxed and attuned to God’s gentle love. As I breathe in, I breathe in this precious love; as I breathe out, I let go of any cares. Right here, right now, there is only divine love. God’s love resonates within every human heart and mind as the one true light. In the warmth of this light, I think only thoughts of love and I experience and express love fully, completely. In the light of God’s love, I am inspired to be understanding because I too, want to be understood. To exhibit warmth because I, too, want to feel warmth from others to be gentle because I, too want to be treated gently. As I express God’s love it is reflected back to me in so many ways. I see divine love in the smiles of those around me I hear love in the voices of those I interact with I see love in the eyes of everyone I meet. God’s love within me connects with the loving presence of God within others and we speak words of love and kindness, one to another new ways to honor each other new ways to live in harmony and understanding. In the light of God’s love I reach deeper within myself for patience and strength when I need them for the insight and courage to bless and release those people who seem hurtful to me for the understanding and wisdom to learn from every experience. I am strong when I need to be. I am flexible when I should be. I reach out when I need someone. And I seek solitude when I need to experience God’s love only. In the light of divine love, I open my heart completely to those around me and to the love within them. I express divine love and I attract loving, joyous people into my life. I am blessed with friendships and relationships that are mutually satisfying and spiritually healthy. I relax in my each interaction, to soften each moment. In the light of God’s love, I am in tune with the people around me and with all humanity. When my path intertwines with another’s love guides us and inspires our companionship. I see beauty, grace , order and harmony wherever I look I hear oneness in every voice. I give thanks to God for the guidance and understanding and inspiration to create my world as one of serenity and joy. My world is harmonized, and I am peace.
