I AM SURROUNDED AND UPHELD BY ALMIGHTY GOD, AND MY SOUL IS FILLED WITH PEACE   

I will fear no evil    Psalm 23:4

God is where I am, and in this Presence I am secure today.  I will fear no evil, for I understand Truth.  Sustained by the Mind of God I live fearlessly, joyously and freely.  Nothing can stop the right action of God in my life.  At every instant God acts, and I know this Action is around me, within me and upon me.  There is nothing to fear; there is only God to know.

The Power of the Spirit is my protection from all that is unlike God.  This Power is working for me and is working through me.  It makes my way easy and my burden light.  It goes before me and eliminates every obstacle that would confound me.  Immersed in the Divine Presence I am now experiencing Its good, Its peace and Its love.  I am surrounded and upheld by Almighty God, and my soul is filled with peace.

God is all there is, and there is nothing to believe except this eternal goodness. Evil is a lie, and departs from me now forevermore.  I cannot believe in sickness, lack or unhappiness.  I know that there is no power, no authority and no continuity of negation.  My world, being the presence of God, is aware only of Truth and Beauty.  All other does not exist.

Regardless of circumstances, I keep my mind free of worry and doubt, for I know that Spirit is the only Cause and Love is the only effect.  I have complete faith in God and His Law of right action.  Radiant with Love, no one can hurt me.  Inspired by Divine Intelligence, nothing can confuse me.  Filled with the perfect Peace, nothing can disturb me.  I meet life this day with ease and the expectancy of increased blessings.

I BELIEVE THAT GOD IS THE ONLY REALITY OF MY LIFE   

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death   

Psalm 23:4

I am secure in God.  Nothing can withstand Truth, and I am knowing the Truth of my being today.  I realize that evil is neither person, place nor thing.  I believe that God is the only reality of my life.  There is nothing to prevent my good from appearing in my life right now, for I am open to the ways of the Spirit.  I face my problems with an inspired mind, and a faith that good alone can triumph, for good is God in action.

Within me is an Intelligence greater than anything the material world can devise.  I turn to this inner Christ center and know that “greater is He that is within me, than he that is within the world.” Nothing can stop the onward action of Truth in my soul.  I am undaunted by negatives, for I know that my God is with me and His Mind is leading me.

My world must respond to my thought, for that is the Law of Mind.  I now declare the peace, love and beauty of God as my true environment, and these now bless me.  God surrounds me, enfolds me and upholds me at every moment.  My word is the Law unto the thing to which it is directed.  I speak the Truth, and the Truth is all that I can experience.

I stand in the midst of a flexible universe that responds to my thought and acts upon it.  I, alone, am the creator of good in my world.  I handle my thought rightly in order to bring this good forth into my experience.  I am free of all problems, all fear and all possibilities of failure.  I know with certainty that God is for me.  I say “no” to all evil; I say “yes” to all good.

IN THE MIDST OF ME IS THE LIGHT OF MY WORLD AND I LET THAT LIGHT SHINE

For his name’s sake  

Psalm 23:3

I accept my Divine Destiny.  I accept that which God has planned for me.  I know that there is a pattern of good for my life.  This is true because the Infinite Mind has arranged it this way.  God acts by means of man.  God knows what man should be, and I am that man whom God has made in His own image and likeness.  Unto me is given the unlimited possibilities of good, because the Divine Mind acts through me.

As I live rightly, think greatly and love largely, I am a joy to God and a blessing to man.  I do this “for his name’s sake.”  I realize that to this end was I born, for this cause I came into the world – to bear witness to the Truth.  God in me is impelling me to right action.  God in me is inspiring my mind with right ideas.  I am alive with this Holy Presence.

I refuse to believe that I am flesh and blood subject to the whims of fate.  I arise in my Divine Selfhood and see that God alone rules my mind and heart.  The One Mind thinks as me; the One Love loves by means of me.  I am the spiritual activity of a Power which knows what It is doing and knows how to do it.  In the hands of Omniscience I rest in the full assurance of my eternal good.

In the midst of me is the Light of my world, and I let that Light shine. It created me in order to act through me.  I recognize my responsibility to do this for God today.  I know that as I do it the whole of God is backing me, and the Law of God is producing my good.  My present is filled with good; my future is secure in greater good; for God is on my pathway and I cannot fail.

LOVE AND WISDOM ARE BALANCED IN ME

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness

Psalm 23:3

The righteousness of God is my righteousness now. Today I offer to my world only the right action of a wise mind and a loving heart. I do this because my inner self impels me to do it. It leads me into right activities, right decisions and right associations. I love to let out more and more of God into my world through my right thinking and wise behavior.
The naturalness of God fills my mind, and I am free and natural as I express His Life, Love and Wisdom. I have no false piety, only the knowledge that God loves to act through me and I let Him. I am expressing my real inner and perfect self in all I do, say or think. I am established in true righteousness, and this inner sense of balance and normalcy leads me into increased good.
All inner confusions are now erased. My subconscious is completely receptive to the good, the potent and the right. Deep within me God’s Ideas are accepted with joy and demonstrated with ease. My true Divinity awakens and I walk free of all that would limit me. The royal road to true success is before me, and I walk it with power and ease.
In me love and wisdom are balanced, for God is my source of Love and Wisdom. I release these great qualities of life with joy and ease. I rightly use my mind for positive thinking. I rightly use my love for lifting my fellowman. All who contact me this day sense my inner right-mindedness and are benefited. My mind is centered in Spirit; my body is centered in Health and my life is Divinely directed in all its ways.

I RELAX AND ALLOW THE ACTION OF GOD TO MOVE THROUGH ME   

He restoreth my soul   Psalm 23:3

I know that within me God is now in full action and I am made whole.  God created me, God maintains me, and when I need help His Mind restores me to wholeness.  Never for a single moment does the indwelling Spirit cease Its perfect action.  Always, It flows through my mind as right thinking, through my body as health, and through my world as order.  I recognize this perfect Divine Activity and allow It to restore me to wholeness.

In the Divine Mind there is a perfect pattern of my true self, and of my true self-expression.  This Spiritual design restores my soul, heals my body and prospers my affairs.  I have complete faith in God’s Plan for my life.  I give it my full thought and know that It is now blessing and benefiting me.  God’s Life is my life now and forevermore.  God’s peace is mine now and forevermore.  I relax and allow the action of God to move through me.

I am free of all frustration, for Divine Intelligence uses my mind as an open channel.  There is nothing in me to oppose the Good which God has already created for me.  I let It happen.  I am balanced and poised in the One Mind, and there are no impediments to the Divine Action.  There is within me that which impels me to right decision.  God moves me forward with ease.

The joy of the Lord is my joy this day, for I am restored in all my ways.  Strength, power and wisdom act within me.  I am renewed and all is well. I let go of yesterday, and I have no fear of tomorrow, for this day is God’s day in my life and affairs.  I am a whole person, expressing all that God is and has.

IN THE MIDST OF ME IS THE STILLNESS OF GOD  

He leadeth me beside the still waters    Psalm 23:2

I am poised and established in God’s perfect peace.  No longer can the world confuse me, for now I am secure in Truth.  This day I dedicate myself to peace, order and harmony.  I have faith that the action of God in my mind is one of peace.  I truly know the “still waters” that are deep within me, and I am refreshed as I draw from them.

In the midst of me is the stillness of God, where all ideas await my acceptance.  Calmly and quietly I take from this inner Spirit of good.  God’s healing peace flows through me as I accept it, and I am healed.  I feel this inner peace, not only in my body, but flowing through my mind.  I know that whoever contacts me senses this peace, and knows that it is from God.  I have peace in my life this day, and I give peace to my world this day.

There is nothing to disrupt, confuse or annoy.  Order reigns in my experience, and Law brings forth my every thought.  The Holy Spirit of Right Action dominates my thinking, and I am poised in perfect results.  No matter what tries to disturb me, I see it as nothing.  I am Peace, and I radiate Peace.  My subconscious accepts this demand I make upon it, and brings it forth.

Nothing can enter my experience except those situations which bring me peace.  Everyone offers me peace, and I accept it.  Every word spoken to me is peaceful, and every word I speak brings healing to my fellowman.  I think rightly and peacefully about all whom I know, and thus they, too, are led “beside the still waters” for my thought enriches their lives with peace.  Peace, being the action of God, is omnipotent in my world today.

TODAY I AM LIVING IN HEAVEN, WORKING WITH JOY AND SHARING MY GOOD  

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures   Psalm 23:2

My present world is heaven, for my thought is centered on God.  I am already in my good, and I now search for my present world and find it.  On every side the blessings of Almighty God are awaiting my recognition.  They crowd upon me with their infinite possibilities of Love, Joy and Growth.  I find them in every moment of this day.  I see them in the face of every friend, co-worker and stranger.  God appears to me through my church, my home and my loved ones.

God’s Presence in me looks out through my eyes and sees His own Glory about me.  My world is alive with beauty, for Love is established on every hand.  Nothing but good surrounds me; nothing but Spirit acts through me; and nothing but constructive words speak from me.  My present experience is alive with God, and my future is secure, for only “green pastures” can be mine, now and forevermore.

I dwell in God’s perfect and complete creation.  Nothing can be taken from it, and nothing can be added to it.  All that I will ever need is where I am.  All that I have sought is at hand.  I gladly accept the Good, and I hold my thought in line to see It as It happens to me.  I do not waver from my faith in God, and my faith in His promises of my present glory.

I love to love with the love of God.  I love to live in a world of order.  I love to let Divine ideas sustain me.  God never fails me, and I never fail God.  Today I am living in heaven, working with joy and sharing my good with each one I meet.  I am enfolded in God, expressing God, for all is God.

TODAY I LIVE IN ABUNDANCE, FOR GOD SUPPORTS ME IN EVERY WAY   

I shall not want.  Psalm 23:1

I live in a universe that is God-created and God-sustained, and I shall never lack any good thing. The Intelligence that brought forth this universe is the Intelligence of my mind today.  The lavishness of nature is proof to me that my own personal life can be filled with an abundance beyond the limits of my present belief. I now accept this lavish good which God is pouring into my world by means of my consciousness.

I destroy every fear of lack and limitation, and I know that God in me has already given to me more than I shall ever be able to use.  I am fully receptive to the good which my Father has planned for me.  I accept it in every form, whether money, friends, gifts or opportunities.  I seek the prosperous ways of life, for I know that I am God ordained to experience their good.

His Power is my power, and His Love is mine to distribute in my world.  My riches are of the mind and spirit, and they demonstrate for me all that I need or shall ever want.  I refute all belief that I cannot afford the best.  His desire for me is my everlasting good.  I accept prosperity.  I accept money as God in action.  I accept myself as prosperity. 

I saturate my mind with God’s prosperous ideas, and give them full authority in my thinking to act through me.  I know that I subjectively accept them, and that the law of mind has already moved into action, and their appearance is immediate.  Today I live in abundance, for God supports me in every way.  I appreciate the action of prosperity in all my affairs.

I AM DIVINELY GUIDED TO RIGHT ACTION 

The Lord is my shepherd.  Psalm 23:1

I am divinely guided to right action in every experience of this day.  I know that true Wisdom is of God, and that It uses my consciousness as Its seat of operation.  God is the ‘shepherd” of my life, and this inner Mind and Love guide me into paths of perfection and ways of joy. God’s perfect action can never cease and can never be delayed.  Always, it guides me.  Always, it inspires me.  Always, it blesses and benefits me.

I rejoice in my inner Source of Truth, for it never fails me.  Each hour I am sustained by Truth.  Each moment I am led into right thinking.  Each instant I am inspired to do the loving thing, to speak the loving word.  Because I follow the guidance of the Spirit within me, I am a blessing to my fellowman.

Infinite Mind sustains me at every moment.  I never fear indecision, for Divine ideas lead me aright.  There is a power born of God which indwells me, upholds me and guides me.  I am receptive to It and am blessed and benefited by it.  Divine inspiration is upon me, and I rejoice in Its wise instruction. I am powerful in my decisions, and the Law produces my good.

God in me knows what to do, how to do it and when to do it.  I am now one with God, and this full knowledge is now mine.  I am free from all uncertainty, for my God delivers every idea to me at the instant of time I need it.  “The Lord is my shepherd” and I let my inner Lord control my mind, discipline my emotions and keep straight my affairs.  All doubt is destroyed; Truth is revealed.
