“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? —PSALM 27:1     "I tune out all dull, negative ideas, and tune in with the Sunshine of Life, with brightness and laughter, with the joyous Presence that is Life Itself. I know that all the beauty of form around me is the Garment of God. I know that that Presence that is manifested in my heart and mind is God expressing Himself within the Garment of Form. As I feel this Presence more and more I hear the Song of Joy deep within. Always when I am still I hear the Song of Life pouring through my consciousness. I have only to listen, for It is always there. With this knowledge, this assurance that that Loving Presence is always here—“closer to me than breathing, nearer than hands and feet”—I have nothing to fear. I feel this loving protection around me, and I know that it is a bulwark of strength. I know that It is not only a Song of Joy, but a Song of Love and Protection.

Knowing this, that I am the very Essence of God, Joy wells up within my heart, and Life sings through me in radiant ecstasy.”

“Mine eyes are ever toward the Lord; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net." —PSALM 25:15     "I now withdraw my thoughts from the world of confusion and realize that in the One Universal Mind, which is the Mind of God, there is quietude, peace, order. This is Reality. It matters not that in the shadow world of form there is a sense of futility. I know that Life is real, worthwhile. I know that no effort toward unity with that which is Real, that which is True, is ever lost. I enter deeply into Peace and feel its strength and power. I know that here, in this consciousness of Reality, is the supply for my every need—physical, mental, or spiritual—and I accept that supply in deepest gratitude. I am thankful that this is the way Life fulfills my needs, through the doorway of my inner self, and I am thankful that I know how to use this Perfect Law.

I come to this great Fountain of Supply, in the very center of my being, to absorb that for which I have need, mentally and physically, and I am filled with a joyous sense of the Reality of that which I desire. As I am filled with Reality I permit It to flow into my world of thought and action, knowing that It brings peace and harmony and order all around me. It flows out into the lives I touch. Where I am, there is peace, order, joy, harmony for I am One with Reality.”

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." —PSALM 23:1     "As my thought sinks deep into the quietude of my innermost Self, I am conscious of the perfect peace and love and strength of the One Universal Being, the One Divine Mind. It is like a tranquil pool—translucent, calm and beautiful—and as I contemplate It, I am refreshed. I realize that It is all-pervading—in all and through all—and that It is my true life, my true being. Now I am divinely confident of the Unity of Life. There is but One Life, One Body of Love, and all are a part of it, one perfect Being. As I look at Nature I see how every part melts into another in a great transmutation—one part could not exist without the others. In human nature the fusion of love and thought makes us One. In the true meeting of hearts and minds there is scarcely even the need of words. I know that in the One Mind there cannot be misunderstanding, in the One Love all are included.

I have absolute faith in the Principle of Life, the Law of Love, and so I permit Love in its freedom to express through me, to radiate from me. Knowing that It transcends all other manifestations I am filled with Divine Confidence that the Laws of Life work just as accurately as the laws of mathematics. I use these Principles constantly, every hour of the day, in every situation, in every adjustment.”

“I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand I shall not be moved." —PSALM 16:8     "As I attune myself to the Perfection of God; It flows through me; It dissipates all the obstructions of my everyday life, transforming all confusion into Love and Beauty. I realize that I must bring this Perfection of Reality into expression, for the mind and heart of each human being are the only channels God has through which to manifest God’s Infinite Mind and Perfect Love, which must be expressed continually that Life may evolve in greater and greater perfection. As I permit this Reality to be expressed in me and through me, I am joyous in the assurance that I am bringing into being that much more of God-Perfection. I am transforming a part of Life, just as Nature passes through the beautiful transformation called spring. I know I need only to realize the true state of Being, which is Love—that which I really am—to transform all that appears to be imperfect. Love is that which is Real—complete harmony. Love is the Great Harmonizing Agency.

I stand firm on the Rock of Reality, knowing all is well, knowing that there is but One and that One is Love.”

“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer." —PSALM 19:14     "There is only One Power and One Presence—God, the Good, all powerful and ever present. I am an individualized part of this Universal Presence and one with this Universal Power. I am a perfect expression of Perfect Life now, and everything necessary to the fullness of that expression comes to me. Today I definitely claim as my inheritance Life, Love, Peace, Joy, Power, and an abundance of all Good. Running through me is the silent power of spiritual Wisdom harmoniously directing my thoughts and actions. I am surrounded by an atmosphere of Love and I am guided and governed by the impulse of Love. This Love casts out all fear, for fear cannot abide in the same household with Love. I fill my consciousness with a sense of the Love of God, until my whole being is flooded with it. It blesses me, heals me, guides me, and sustains me forever.

The Life of God is my Life, self-existent and immortal. The Truth of God is my Truth, Unconditioned and Eternal. The Love of God is my Love, complete and perfect now.”

“I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies." —PSALM 18:3     "Now and always I recognize that I live, move, and have my being in God. I am part of Universal Mind. I am one with Universal Substance. All the qualities and all the wealth of good and desirable things that exist in Universal Mind are mine now. I perceive, accept, and experience them. Daily I accept more joy, more happiness, more of the good things of life. Constantly my conviction deepens that a Divine Presence pervades my being, freeing me from loneliness and sadness. I turn to the Spirit within, knowing that It desires to manifest all good through me. The zest of learning to accept the good that is mine fills each day with interest and makes eternal life worthwhile. I now lay aside all anxiety, all striving, and let the Law bring my good to me. I open every channel for Substance to flow through me and take form in my objective experience. I joyfully anticipate greater abundance, more success, and more joy.”

“It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect." —PSALM 18:32     "My body, and every part of it, is made of pure Substance—God. It cannot deteriorate. This instant this Infinite Substance within me, which is constantly flowing through me, takes form in the likeness of perfect, whole, and complete cells. Every cell of my lungs is strong and healthy, filled with life and vitality, strength and cleanliness. I am now made vigorous and hardy. I have the stamina of the Infinite. I am sturdy and robust. I am fortified with God’s perfection and right action. I am hale and able-bodied. All the life of the universe is my life. All of the strength of the universe is my strength. All of the power of the universe is my power. Every breath I draw fills me with perfection, vitalizes, upbuilds, and renews every cell of my body. I am born in Spirit and of Spirit, and I am Spirit made manifest this instant. My body, Spirit in form, knows no time, knows no degree; it knows only to express fully, instantaneously.”

“I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel." —PSALM 16:7     "I know there is but One Power in the universe and that Power is God. That Power manifests in and through all form, all people, all conditions and so is at the very center of my being. This God-Power is me. This Power is Life Itself, and Its nature is Love—All-Good. It contains all Wisdom, Peace, Joy, and Strength. At the center of my being I feel this Perfection in me. I know It is all around me. Everywhere I turn I behold It. It is my whole being. Every cell and atom of my being, my every thought and feeling, my every act is an expression of this God-Power. The Intelligence within me is constantly guiding me. Clearly I see the right thing for me to do; I know the right thing for me to say in every circumstance. This Intelligence within me deals with every situation harmoniously. I find life thrilling, stimulating.

I know that Love protects Its own. I know that Love now makes clear the way before me, eliminating every seeming obstruction. I am guided into an ever-widening unfoldment of being, and I rest in perfect joy and peace. One with all Life, my every need is now fulfilled.”

“I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me." —PSALM 13:6     "I am conscious that I daily enter into my Divine Inheritance, in my thought and in the Spirit, I am entering into the realm of Absolute Causation. I completely believe that from this secret place of the Most High within me there will be projected an objective manifestation of my every legitimate desire. I know that all desires are legitimate so long as they do not harm any other person. All desires are legitimate when they express life without hurt to anyone. There is good enough to go around. Therefore I do not withhold any good from myself or from others, but constantly proclaim that Good belongs alike to each and all.

There is that within me that sees, knows, and understands this truth, that completely accepts it, that remembers freedom, expresses freedom, and anticipates freedom. There is that within me that is completely conscious of its unity with Good, of its oneness with all the Power there is and all the Presence there is and all the Life there is. Upon this Power, Presence, and Life I depend with implicit certainty, with complete confidence, and with absolute assurance. I am expecting more good; I am remembering only the good; I am experiencing good. In this memory of good, in this experience of good, and in the expectation of more good, daily I know that I move and have my being in an Infinite Sea of Perfect Life.”

“I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my maker." —JOB 36:3     "Today I consciously let go of every discord. I drop all sense of lack or limitation from my thought, and every belief that I have ever had in lack or fear. I now have a belief in success and faith. I permit the Spirit within me to express Itself in perfect freedom, bringing increasing joy into my experience. I allow the Divine Wholeness to flow through me into ever-widening fields of activity. Every good that I have ever experienced is now increased tenfold. Every joy that I have ever experienced is now multiplied. There is a new influx of inspiration into my thought. I see more clearly than ever before that my Divine birthright is freedom, joy, and eternal goodness. I perceive this same birthright is bequeathed to all people.

As I look out into nature, it responds with a thousand joys of beauty and harmony. As I look deep into the souls of people I perceive the Divine Image implanted within them. Sorrow is now turned into joy, the belief in death into the certain knowledge of an eternal expansion. The sun of hope rises, nevermore to set, and all power is delivered unto me. This power I use for my own and every other man’s good. This Divine Presence interprets Itself to me in love and friendship, and peace, joy, and goodness are mine now and forever.”
