“I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore."       "I turn my thought to Joy, which I know is vibrating through all Life. Through my own being, in my innermost mind and heart, I reach deep into Infinite Being, and hear the Song of Gladness that sings through all manifestations of life. I know that It also sings in me as I give It expression. I feel the throb of life in all the harmony of form around me—in tree and flower and grass, in blue sky and clouds, in the beauty of evening sunset—wherever I look I hear and feel the underlying joyous note that Life sings and that comes to its culmination in God’s perfect Life. Now, deep within my innermost being, I attune myself to this God-conscious being, which I truly am. I permit God’s perfect idea of me to be manifest, to flow forth into expression.I know that I, God’s perfect child, cannot contain grief, sadness, inharmony. I know that in my true self I am joy, for I am God-Life. My life is buoyant, vivacious, sparkling—free. It contains all good. It is unity, perfection, love. And so I know that nothing can make me—the Real Me—sad or dejected or heavy-hearted. The way is made clear before me, and it is filled with joy and harmony. I am peace. I am love. I am power. I am vitality and strength and All-Good.”
