Prayers for Prospering Times

Stop, Drop and Pray

When I was in college, in the peculiar lexicon of that University, when life’s burdens were piling up on you in an urgent manner, you were said to be “On Fire!” The advice that you are given if you find yourself “On Fire!” is to stop, drop and roll.

Recently I found that life’s burdens were piling up on me, I said to myself, “I’m On Fire!”, then I said I need to stop, drop, and pray.  Stop – create some quiet in my mind, Drop – go inside and place my attention on my heart center, and Pray – connect with the presence of God. When I did that I
had a miraculous day, I was able to handle many of my most urgent tasks and delay the others, a very good outcome.

Father – Mother God,
I turn to the Power that was able to calm the storm with a word to calm the storm in my mind. I say, “Peace, be still!” and the stormy seas in my mind become a placid lake. I can now concentrate my thought on lowering my attention from my head to my heart. I am now resting in the lap of God. Your yoke is easy, Your burden is light and no problem cannot be solved with Your Power, no situation can’t be resolved within Your Presence. All is well and my soul is at peace.

Peace! Peace! Peace!

Thank You God for Your Peace,

In the name and nature of Jesus the Christ we say Amen and Amen.

If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there! Psalms 139:8

This month the Lord is a continuously flowing stream of refreshing inspiration flowing through my soul. My mind is a center of Divine activity; Divine activity is the inexorable expansion into something better than has gone before. My mind and my body are renewed and strengthened daily. My first impulse each morning is to praise God for the sparkling vitality I am feeling.   Praise God for abundant Life! Praise God for enriching relationships! I praise God for the delicious experience of discovering my Creator everywhere I go!

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Psalms 63:1

Father-Mother God,

I have heard all my life that the sins of the father shall be visited upon the children. This is true only if you accept it and I refuse, for I live under grace and not under karma. Grace, the unmerited good of God, releases me from Family Sin. I did it because my father, uncle, mother, aunt or whoever did it is a poor excuse and no reason at all.

When I sin my sin will punish me. What is sin, sin is failing to apply love in any situation or condition. When I see my neighbor with a new car, house, ox, wife, etc. and I react with envy, jealously, lust, etc. I will invariably do something that will loop back and whack me, thus I am punished by my sin, not for my sin. When my neighbor wrongs me, and I retaliate, he comes back at me with an even more hurtful act, because nobody ever feels EVEN!!! Once again I am punished by my unloving response.

Father-Mother God, let me always respond out of love. Many times I will have tears in my eyes as I respond to a hurtful act or unkind words, these are the situations where I especially need to apply Your love. For You are Love and You are the answer to all questions, and I know that as I let You flow through me I will get to the point where, no matter the situation, I will shout THANK YOU GOD!!!

In the name and nature of Jesus the Christ,

Amen and Amen!!!

And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. – Matthew 28:7

Today my hope of glory has risen to new heights in my consciousness. I feel a transcendent Presence newly active in my soul. My mind and body are filled and covered with the stimulating joy of renewal and the resurrection of Christ expressing with new power and purpose within me. Praise God! The imprisoning stone that separated the guiding Spirit of Truth from my conscious expression has been rolled away. I am like one who had been given up for dead and is now revived to a new life of possibility and unlimited potential. Praise God! All is new!

Let Us Pray:

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for bringing me through the cycles of Life which elevate my Soul. Thank You for this day of renewal and restoration. Thank You for all of the overcoming experiences with which you have blessed me. Thank You for raising me from the depths of illness and discomfort. Thank You for lifted out of the depression of debt and poverty thinking. Thank You God for resurrecting the power of unconditional Love that creates, stimulates restores and enriches my relationships and sense of fellowship. Dear Lord I am overjoyed with gratitude and thanksgiving for the abundant Life I am experiencing now.

Thank You God! Thank You God! Thank You God!

So it is!

Amen!

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new. – 2 Corinthians 5:17

Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
… But the temple he had spoken of was his body. – John 2:19 & 21

Charles Fillmore offers deep insight into the metaphysics of Jesus’ crucifixion in Keep A True Lent, “The word crucifixion means the crossing out in consciousness of certain errors that have become fixed states of mind; it is the enactment by a master of the final extinction of carnal mind, the giving up of the whole personality in order that the Christ Mind may be expressed in all fullness”. Our salvation is in our understanding and knowing that our limitations, mistakes and human frailties can be crossed out or eliminated by Jesus’ demonstration of ultimate surrender to the Truth of our Being, which is God. We can solve our life’s problems and eliminate our error thoughts by embodying the process represented by the three days Jesus was in the tomb. 1) Non-Resistance or surrender to the Divine, 2)Identifying with the Divine operation within, 3)Take on the expression of Divine Will as a way of being.

Let Us Pray:
Father, we thank You today for Jesus’ demonstration of who we can be; as we endeavor to put on the Mind of Christ we know that You are always with us. Thank You for reminding us, by any means necessary, that whenever we turn to You in consciousness, all things are possible for us. You are our path to victory in every adversity, You are our Resource whenever we bless or pray for another and You are the One who lifts us off the crosses of own limitations and sets us free in the consciousness of Your perfection. We are free in Christ Jesus.

Thank You God! Thank You Jesus! Thank You Holy Spirit!
Selah!
Amen!

We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” – Luke 23:41

He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you… – Luke 24:6

What will you cross out of your life today?

And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. – Psalms 90:17

This month let’s choose to see beauty and the possibility of beauty wherever we look. Let us first seek the Kingdom of God within ourselves and through seeking within, we will find the Presence of God illuminating the beautiful being we were born to be. God gives us the power and the ability to see beauty wherever we look and if it is not visible to the outer eye, God opens our inner eyes to visions of beauty waiting to be brought into manifestation by the work of our hands or the power of our word. The beauty of the Lord is upon us and all around us. Each day this month let your light shine brightly so that others may see the beauty within and around them.

Dear God, I open myself completely and surrender my all to You. I relax my body, I calm the restless activity of my mind. I reflect upon Your Beauty in Nature and I commune with You in the Beauty of Pure Being. In this consciousness I see clearly with the eyes of Spirit. All that I envision reflects the beauty of Your Presence Lord. I choose to allow Your Beauty to radiate from me and become a beacon that reveals the Beauty of Your Presence in manifestation or imminent possibility. Thank You God for giving me the power to see the beauty in myself, and to create beauty with my hands and to create beauty with my words. I now give thanks for the promises of God and I set the intention to follow the teachings and example of Jesus as I go through this month bringing to light the beauty of God’s Loving Presence.

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good… – Genesis 1:31

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. - Luke 6:38

Our Father, Author of every blessing, I thank You for all of the possibilities of this present moment. Dear Lord, I see You as my only Source of Supply in all of Its forms including ideas, relationships, money and so much more. I recognize my oneness with You and thereby my fellow human beings as Pure Spirit. We are unique manifestations of Your all-providing Substance with the capacity to choose to look to You for wisdom and substance or to be seduced by the illusions of the world. In this holy moment Father, I choose to seek Your Presence and Your Guidance in every moment, in every place and with everyone. I look to You Father as my only Source, confident that You guide me to optimal circumstances, rich relationships and Soul satisfying experiences. I see everyone with whom I interact as an agent of my well being and I see myself as an agent of blessing for them as well. Father You are my one Source and You are constantly creating innumerable channels through which I receive my Good!

Thank You God!

So It Is!

Amen

And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is Thine. – Luke 15:31 (King James Version)

Father-Mother God,

I have had a hard time coming to grips with this, but I’m getting closer to it, that everything that has, is, or will happen in my life is for my soul’s greater development or as Neale Donald Walsh says, “Life is conspiring in my favor.”

Father-Mother God I look back on my life and realize that my life has been a series of events designed by You to bring me to this moment. I am as I should be, Your child, knowing that my source is You, and nothing on earth or heaven can change that.

Father-Mother God, Jesus, in the Lord’s Prayer, told us to call you Father and later, in Luke, said, “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? … If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

Father-Mother God everything in my life came from You and therefore it is all for my good. I now understand what a certain preacher meant when he said, “If God never does another thing for me, I will still shout PRAISE GOD!!! to the end of my days.” I’m not there yet, but I now know to strive for that day.

PRAISE GOD, PRAISE GOD, PRAISE GOD!!!

THANK YOU GOD!!!

In the name and nature of Jesus the Christ,

Amen and Amen!!!

“I rejoice in the restorative power of Jesus’ blood now working mightily in me to renew, to restore and to make every whit whole.” – Charles Fillmore, Keep A True Lent

Thank You God for this day of reflection, repentance and renewal! I thank You God for reminding me that You are always present and ready to accept me just as I am when I acknowledge that I am out of alignment with Your will and Your guidance. I renounce the negative thinking and actions which have led me to the experiences which seemed devoid of Your presence. However, I now have come to my senses and I am returning Home to You Father. I feel the renewal of my mind, I think the thoughts which You have placed in Divine Mind and I make them my own. I surrender my fear of sickness and disease and allow the perfect working of the Holy Spirit to restore my body to health and fitness. I surrender my belief in scarcity and insufficiency and replace it with the expression of Your indwelling presence of prosperity, peace and wisdom. All is well in my life according to Your will and Your promise through Christ Jesus.

Thank You God! So It Is! Amen!

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. – Romans 12:2

See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you. – Isaiah 42:9

Thank You God for this month of renewal and increasing activity. We feel new Life surging within us. Energize us to spring forth with zeal and enthusiasm in Your service this month Lord. As we prepare ourselves for new activity, anoint our imagination, discernment and faith so that we may know and confidently act upon Your Will for us. Prepare us to be receptive to the opportunities to be instruments of Your Love and Peace. Equip us to be builders of Your Kingdom and husbandmen of Your fields of Infinite Possibility. We are Your sons and daughters, ready to accept our legacy and follow Christ in creating a world that works for everyone. Thank You for blessing us with an active role in Your plan to lift humanity to be the fully perfected souls You created us to be. We love You Lord with our entire Being!

So It Is! Amen!

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. – Isaiah 43:19
