THIS MONTH'S MEDITATION
TODAY'S DAILY WORD
Thoughtful

I USE MY MIND IN CREATIVE AND THOUGHTFUL WAYS.
I choose to be compassionate as I attune to the circumstances and feelings of others. My thoughtfulness may take the form of a kind word or gesture. It may demonstrate as a wholehearted acceptance of another person. I feel an affinity with others as I open my heart to them.

In truth, we have much in common. We are all spiritual beings, together as humans on this earth at this time. We are together in our life adventure.
I do not forget myself in this process. My thoughtfulness may be inward-looking as well. I open to divine mind and feel the presence of God at the heart of any decisions I make and any endeavors I undertake. Through the power of the Divine, I create my future by using my mind in creative and thoughtful ways.

It is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks.—Luke 6:45
THOUGHTS FOR THE SOUL
Happiness Comes From Within
Joy is not in things; it is in us.
— Richard Wagner 
A CUP OF FAITH
CONFIDENCE AND TRUST
 
Jim Bridger guided many families across the Rocky Mountains along the Oregon Trail. He created accurate maps of the area from memory. Mountain men, the military, and pioneers trusted him to know the way through the wilderness. Their lives depended on it. As talented as Bridger was as a guide, there’s another Guide whose abilities exceed all others.
 
“Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him” (Jeremiah 17:7).
 
Bridger knew how to traverse the wilderness. God knows what lies in the past, present, and future. He sees all and knows the plans He has for our lives. He guides each believer faithfully through the wilderness.
 
Do you find yourself in a place where you are unsure of your heading? Trust in the Lord to guide you. Place your confidence in Him to know the best route. He protects and directs His family through dangers and brings them to the other side.
 
Prayer Suggestion: Lord, reveal the path that I should walk today.
OCTOBER AFFIRMATIONS
WHAT ARE AFFIRMATIONS?
Affirmations are positive statements of Truth. By affirming Truth we are lifted out of false thinking into the consciousness of Spirit. Each time we pray positively and faithfully, we are calling forth the divine activity that is always within us.
We focus on these affirmations throughout the month for greater expression of our divine inner light. Giving thanks in advance, we claim each of the affirmations as true for ourselves and our loved ones, remaining open and receptive to the highest good for all.
 
HOW AFFIRMATIONS WORK:
"One who knows spiritual principles has a certain inner security given him by the understanding of God. Our affirmations are for the purpose of establishing in our consciousness a broad understanding of the principles on which all life and existence depend.
"In order to demonstrate spiritual principles, we must keep establishing ourselves in certain statements of the law. The more often you present to your mind a proposition that is logical and true, the stronger becomes that inner feeling of security to you.

Affirmation works because of the faculty which is most directly involved in affirmation-faith. Affirmation plays an important part in the process of divine ideas becoming facts and experiences in man's existence on earth.
 
The Month of October Affirmations:

Inner Peace
Peace. Peace. Peace is my true nature.

Guidance
Centered in divine wisdom, I trust my inner knowing.

Healing
I celebrate ever-flowing vitality in my body and my life.

Prosperity
My mind is one with God-Mind, in which everything is possible.

World Peace
Centered in Christ consciousness, I am the light of the world.
