I AM ESTABLISHED IN RIGHT THINKING, AND I CANNOT BE MOVED     

And lead us not into temptation    Matthew 6:13 

I am an outlet for the Mind of God.  This Eternal Spirit is always thinking rightly through me, and I rejoice in its perfect action in my consciousness.  I am never tempted to think evil, for God is in me as my defense and my deliverance.  Knowing that Spirit is the cause of my being, I cannot be lead into temptation.  I am strong in the Lord and the power of His right thinking.  To every negative that appears in my thought, I am inviolate.  Nothing but God and His perfect Ideas have power in me, nor can act through me. 

I stand firmly for the Truth.  I believe that this is God’s universe, and I am willing that God should run His universe.  I cease my human opinions and human judgments.  I let God act through me.  I let His Mind make every decision.  I let Divine Love handle all my personal relationships.  I relax and let Infinite Truth reveal Itself in my life and affairs.  I have faith that the Holy Spirit of right action is now in full dominion in my consciousness. 

I am not led into temptation to believe that a power opposes me.  I know that Mind alone is power, and all of Mind is for me. I decide whether my world shall be heaven or hell.  My thinking and feeling alone determine my experience.  Therefore, never again will I be tempted to blame outer circumstances and other people for my own wrong thinking.  I think rightly always. 

I am permanently established in right thinking, and I cannot be moved.  I leave the old patterns of thought, and I now think God’s Ideas with Him.  My life is rich in love, and all my ways are peace, for I am an expression of a Mind that never wavers.

I AM AN HEIR TO THE KINGDOM AND I NOW DEDICATE MYSELF TO UNSELFISH LIVING     

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors    Matthew 6:12 

I live in a universe of Divine Order.  This universe expects me to live in it with wisdom and love, and this I do.  I know that with creative thinking, premised upon good, there are no impossibilities for me.  I know that God wants me to have all the good that I can mentally appropriate.  I now dedicate myself to unselfish living. 

I forgive myself for all my errors of omission and commission.  I let God’s healing currents of love cleanse my consciousness.  I honestly seek to love my fellowman, for in him God abides.  I see him as God sees him, and I bless him in thought and action.  I release every unkind thought, motive and feeling from my mind.  I take my true place as a Spiritual Being and let God alone rule and govern my life.  I release Love to every person, place and thing. 

Having forgiven and released the mistakes others have made, I know that my own are equally dismissed.  Therefore, all guilt is erased from my mind, and all past fear from my heart.  I face today with a cleansed mind and a free spirit.  No one sits in judgment upon me, and I judge no one.  I am a free soul in a spiritual universe thinking God’s thoughts. 

Today, I honestly seek to live by the Sermon on the Mount. I will go twice the mile, and forgive seventy times seven.  I will see the Good in my co-workers, my family, and my friends.  I know that nothing can disturb me unless I let it, and I now close my mind to all evil.  God in me is the only Presence and the only Power.  God in me makes every decision, and renders every judgment.  I love all people and am loved by all.

I THINK OF THE ABUNDANCE THAT IS NOW MINE, AND I THANK GOD FOR IT     

Give us this day our daily bread    Matthew 6:11  

God gives to me all that I am capable of receiving.  My consciousness alone determines the richness or the poverty of my thinking.  I am the recipient of all that God is, and today I increase my knowledge of God.  Into my thought God pours all of His Ideas.  I do not live by labor alone, but by every Idea in the Mind of God.  This is my true source of supply.  Knowing this, I open my mind to receive the inflow of Spiritual Inspiration which the Infinite is forever showering upon me.  I love to think with the Ideas of Spirit. 

I accept the bounty of God, for I know that His Mind has planned it for me.  My God is a rich Mind that knows only abundance, health and peace.  These are mine today, for I am the beloved Son of the Father.  The Lord giveth, but does not take away.  I eat of the bread of the Spirit.  I am nourished in consciousness by the living Truth.  I hunger and thirst after righteousness, and I am filled, for God is within me sustaining my every right action. 

My mental food determines the kind of world in which I live.  I now choose my mental nourishment as wisely as I do the physical.  If my body needs a balanced diet, so does my soul.  As all of Truth is offered to me, I have a perfect repast from which to select.  I now balance wisdom with love, joy with creative work and power with true authority.  My mind is well fed with Truth. 

Every channel of my thinking is now open and receptive to the Ideas of Truth, which are the true living bread.  I feast upon the goodness of God.  I think of the abundance that is now mine and thank God for it.

I THINK RIGHTLY AND LOVINGLY THIS DAY, AND THE LAW PRODUCES THIS IN MY AFFAIRS     

In earth as it is in heaven    Matthew 6:10 

I believe that my life is governed by a Divine Law.  I believe that this Law is the way God acts in my experience.  I know that I can use this Law to demonstrate any good thing.  All of God’s Ideas are available to me, and I now accept them, and give them to the Law of Mind to demonstrate.  I use this Law rightly, because I give it only ideas of good.  

I know that what I think and feel, I bring forth into my experience.  I think rightly and lovingly this day, and the Law produces this in my affairs.  My “earth” is my world in which I live.  My “heaven” is my consciousness, when it is thinking rightly.  The Law of Mind is the link between my thinking and my experiencing.  Always, I demonstrate my thoughts, because the Law never fails.  No treatment is ever lost; no God-given Idea which I assimilate will ever fail to materialize. 

Divine Mind and Its Ideas are my heaven, and I am a transmitter for them. I turn my every experience into a heavenly one.  I look within and behold God’s Truth offering Itself to me.  I make heaven happen through my right thinking.  My heaven demonstrated shows other people the way to theirs. 

“The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof” and the Kingdom of heaven is within me.  Linking these two great ideas together assures me of heaven in earth today.  I deliberately think of Good.  I deliberately discipline my emotions to that which is Godlike.  I have faith in the Law, and my prosperity this day is assured.

I LET GOD’S PERFECT WILL BE MINE THIS DAY

Thy will be done   Matthew 6:10

I am the agent of the Eternal.  I am an ambassador at large for God.  His will is that I shall express all His attributes, and I do this with joy.  In me the will of God is accomplished by my right thinking, right loving and right action.  I love to do the will of my Father, for as I do it, I have increased good in my life.  I let my light shine before men, that they seeing that light shall glorify my Father.  

I am aware of a Divine Purpose and a Divine Plan.  God knows what he is doing, and in me God always knows what to do.  I am a part of His Plan, and I play this part with my whole being.  In me the Mind of God is in full control, and this is my security.  Knowing that the will of God is for greater good, I let that will be mine now.  I cooperate fully with the indwelling Spirit.  I turn within to this Spirit for the answer to every question, and the solution of every problem.

I accept the Divine Design of my life.  Ahead of me is a planned road of ever-unfolding good.  Each day brings added power.  Each hour brings new and greater possibilities for my advancement.  I look ahead and see my spiritual destiny evolve with ease.  There is nothing to cause fear, worry or discontent, for God’s will is my certainty of good.

I rest in the complete assurance that God’s Idea of me is perfect.  God only knows that I am alive with His life, radiant with His health and expressing fully His purpose.  All of this I now know for myself.  I let God’s perfect will be mine this day.

I AM TRUE TO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IN MY THOUGHT THIS DAY   

Thy Kingdom come    Matthew 6:10

I let the Kingdom of God be my basis this day.  I know that this Kingdom is one of righteousness and truth.  I know that It is already here, and that I am already in It.  I open my eyes to see God where I am.  I open my consciousness to the inflow of Spiritual Ideas.  I open my heart to the divine Love of God.  Into me now pours the living stream of Truth and I give It full power to act by means of me.

I am willing to set aside my personal opinions, prejudices and will, for “greater is He that is within me than he that is within the world.”  Divine Intelligence now governs my thinking.  I let God take over the operation of my life.  I have absolute faith that increased good is the only result of God’s activity.  I believe that God’s will for me is good and It is working for me now.  Perfect Mind inspires me; Perfect Love upholds me.

I am a thinker in a Divine Law of Mind action.  What I think causes something to happen.  I gear my thinking to the Divine, and all that happens to me is good.  I am cause to my world, and my thinking is based on right motives.  My right causation necessitates my right experience.  It is easy to prove God where I am, and in what I do.  I now do this.

The Kingdom of God is within me, and I now release It into my world.  Through my mind, heart and hands God works, thinks and loves.  Through my voice the Word of Truth is spoken.  All who contact me are healed, blessed and prospered, for I am true to the Kingdom of Heaven in my thought this day.

KNOWING WHAT GOD IS, I NOW EXPRESS ALL THAT GOD IS

Hallowed be thy name

Matthew 6:9

I honor my Creator by living in justice today.  I give full credit to the Infinite Mind that thinks through me.  I know that as I let God govern my thought and control my emotions I will be successful.  I cannot make a mistake for I affirm that God indwells me, acts through, and acts for me.  This I do, for I believe that true Wisdom is not of man but of God.  This Wisdom is now mine, and It directs the affairs of my life.

I am indebted to God for His patience, His love and His wisdom.  I pay my debt by living according to His Laws.  I forgive myself my own wrong conclusions, and free myself from the past.  Today is alive with Truth, and I know Truth now.  I believe in my own Divinity and give all honor to Him who brought me forth out of His own Substance of Love.  I act with wisdom worthy of the Mind which created me.  I forgive and forget all evil, and hold fast to that which is good.  I am conscious of God at this instant.  

The Wholeness of God is seeking expression through me.  Mind never does things in parts; It always fulfills Its Ideas.  Spiritually I am a whole person.  This means I am not frustrated, not unhappy and not limited.  All that the Infinite is, individualizes Itself through me.  This wholeness is my real satisfaction.  I am now happy with a permanent happiness.

To me is given the joy of knowing God and knowing him aright.  Knowing what God is, I now express all that God is.  I so live that all people shall call me blessed.  I am a credit to God and a joy to my fellowman.

I ACCOMPLISH GREAT THINGS TODAY FOR I AM ESTABLISHED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

Which art in heaven

   Matthew 6:9

In God I live and more and have my being.  In me God lives and moves and has expression.  All that God is, I am.  All that God is, is where I am, for this world is heaven when I see it rightly. I cannot escape God and, therefore, I cannot escape my good.  There is a Divine Inevitableness to my life.  I cannot be held in limitation, for my Divine Self impels me to right solutions.  No error can long endure, for God alone lives forevermore.

Established in the conviction that God is my only experience, I am now open to Spiritual Ideas.  I welcome them, for they reveal to me the true riches of the Kingdom of Heaven.  I enjoy every attempt to solve my problems through right thinking, for I know I am developing spiritually.  I know that my thinking is based on Truth and that all doors are open to me, and that all limitations have ceased.  I know this because every prophet, savior, teacher and Bible has assured me that it is so.

The God which has inspired every great individual, is the same God who is the true essence of my consciousness.  One Mind rules and governs all.  This Mind in me is authority over all that is unlike Itself. Evil is erased by my recognition of the Power and the Presence of God.  I walk with the great, the true and the mighty.  Before me is the pathway of greatness.

Today, I have faith in God’s universe; His heaven is my present abode.  Unto me is given the fullness of Truth, the everlasting Joy and the Hope eternal.  I am a true citizen of the Kingdom of God, and I am established in His righteousness.  I accomplish great things today.

TODAY IS A DAY OF RESULTS AS I LET GOD THINK IN MY CONSCIOUSNESS  

Our Father   

Matthew 6:9

One God, one Presence, one Mind, one Law and this is my divine heritage, for It created me out of Itself.  All this surrounds me, dwells in me and acts through me.  “I stand in the Great Forever, I live in the ocean of Truth.”  I am the beloved Son of the Father, and I do that which pleases Him today.  With eyes uplifted unto the hills of Truth, I walk my pathway in wisdom and love.

I have Divine Integrity.  I know that with His Wisdom inspiring me I can never make a mistake.  The world cannot fool me, and my fellowman cannot confuse me.  I am a Spiritual Being in a Spiritual experience right now.  Ideas are coming to me at every instant, and they offer me a greater portion of life than I now have.  I accept them, and increase my good.

Unto me is given the Truth, for all that the Father hath is mine.  God presents Himself to His universe by means of me.  “He that seeth me, seeth Him who sent me.”  I accept this Divine Inheritance and fulfill my true place in the Father’s plan.  I am the child of a King, who rules in grace and truth.  Knowing this, I dedicate my life to expressing the attributes of God.

I am an ever-unfolding expression of infinite Mind.  This Mind indwells me and leads me into health, prosperity and peace.  I let God think in my consciousness.  I let Divine Love be my expression and my joy.  I know that He who made me will never fail me.  I give thanks that I am a spiritual being living in God’s universe of order.  The benediction of the Almighty is upon me, and today is filled with good.

I STEADFASTLY INCREASE MY AWARENESS OF GOD IN MY PRESENT WORLD   

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.   

Psalm 23:6

I live in an expanding universe that is potent with Divine possibilities.  On every hand the presence of God is beckoning to me, inviting my growth.  Truly, I dwell in the house of the Lord today.  There is nothing to hold me back, for His Mind in me presses me forward into larger living and greater thinking.  I steadfastly increase my awareness of God in my present world.  Right here and now I make my demonstration.  I joyously accept an expanding, unfolding life of true service to God and to my fellowman.

I live in an evolving universe that bids me grow in the ways of the Spirit.  God is seeking to make me a greater person, and a more useful citizen of His good heaven on earth.  I seek out larger Ideas of Truth.  I keep the windows of my soul open to new and fresh ways of knowing Truth.  I evolve into that “image and likeness” which is already my inner Pattern.  I let go of the “little” to accept the “more.”  I grow in wisdom, in spiritual stature, in favor with God and with man.

Where I am, I shall make my demonstration of Truth.  I no longer wait for the future to solve my problems.  Today, I live in Omnipresence, and right now my good is at hand. What I seek is seeking me.  The Idea I need is now in my consciousness, and the Law of Mind is producing it.  I relax and realize that today is good, tomorrow will be better, and each day is God’s day.

I live in a loving universe, where God’s friendliness is on every hand.  Divine Love enfolds me and flows from me.  I love the Love of God in everyone I know.  I am loved by the Love of God in everyone I know.  I dwell in Love this day.
