Prosperity Prayer I have Faith in God as my instant, constant abundant supply, and supplier. I have Faith in God to open ways when to the human sense there is no way. I have Faith in God to guide me in all my ways, and my health, happiness and prosperity are assured.

Thank you, God for your abundant good, now flowing forth to meet my every need.

May 5, 2024 Seeing Beyond Our Circumstances

Lessons

Seeing Beyond Our Circumstances can help us daily if we are willing to:

#1

Invest time in the spiritual value of everything. Break the patterns of our behaviors.

#2

Recognize the source of our upset. It ’ s not the people, it ’ s the attention we assign.

#3

Choose whether to react or respond. And stop giving our power away.

#4

Learn there is benefit in Life Disruptions. They force us to make changes in our life.

Affirmation I AM Seeing Beyond My Circumstances!

Quote When circumstances hinder us from seeing clearly, we must rely on our spiritual eyes to see what our physical eyes cannot. - Unknown
