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.

Lesson

Civility: Love Made Visible requires us to:

1. See the Divine before the difference. Differences are not the whole truth.

2. Contribute useful, positive energy. Stop looking to be right or win.

3. Listen for the life beneath words.

Understand what matters most to others.

4. Spiritual Maturity is not perfection. It is willingness to be accountable.

Affirmation My Civility Makes Love Visible!

Quote The great thing about civility is that it does not require you to agree with or approve of anything. You don't even have to love your neighbor to be civil. You just have to treat your neighbor the same way you would like your neighbor to treat your grandmother, or your child. - Barbara Brown Taylor
