August Affirmative Prayer

Affirmative prayer is a form of prayer that is focused on a positive outcome rather than a negative situation. For instance, a person who is experiencing some form of illness would focus the prayer on the desired state of perfect health and affirm this desired intention "as if already happened. Affirmative prayer reflects the certainty that we are each being led to our highest good, despite any temporary appearances.

The theme for this month’s affirmative prayer is Self Empowerment.

At this time of transformation, rebirth and new growth, I am reminded there is only One. I look around; I listen within. I find It everywhere. That One Energy finds Joy in everything. I am one with that Life, that Joy, that exhilaration to Live more fully in each and every moment.

It is my nature to grow and thrive for that is the nature of Spirit. It knows nothing less. Flowers break through the shell of their bulbs, chicks crack their eggs, and butterflies leave the cocoon. All enter totally new stages of life. It is my turn too. My life is not governed by seeds or cells.

I have the power of choice. I choose to live a life in which I share my talents with passion and serve with Joy. I choose now to break through old patterns, and let go of old habits. I listen to, watch for and act upon those nudges of Spirit. I declare my willingness to stretch my comfort zone. I choose to thrive not merely survive.  I release the what ifs and choose to live a code of what IS.  Spirit only says YES. It knows no limitations. I embrace this Truth.

I am grateful that my thoughts and choices allow me to live a life that I LOVE.

I release these words into the medium of Spirit, knowing all is done. Right here. Right now.

And so it is.
