Affirmative Prayer

Affirmative Prayer

Friends,


Sometimes I feel on top of the world, as though nothing can stop me, and I say, “Surely God is blessing me for all my efforts!” And other times, the pendulum swings wildly to the opposite side. Then, finally, I feel the crushing weight of the world on my shoulders and that I might crack under pressure, and I say, “God, what is wrong? What have I done to deserve this?”


Yet, neither thought serves my highest good because they are both built on the myth that I am separate from the creator, whom I call God. Moreover, they are based on the lie of original sin, that we are each separated from the divine at birth. Thus need a savior.


However, I know that I am one with all that is. I am one with the all magnificent power, which is the alpha and the omega. God is all there is, and it never favors one nation over another. It knows no right and wrong, nor has it any preferences, as it is all things and all life. Consequently, I hold this truth in consciousness for all.


I know I am the creator of my life, and I choose to release those thoughts and beliefs that no longer serve me. I release all thoughts of limitation, judgment, and fear that deny God’s existence. Instead, I live into my power, strength, wisdom, and knowingness, watching life unfold beautifully before me.


And so it is. Amen.


Josh Van Tassel, RScP
