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.

Lessons

Understanding Our Humanness requires us to:

1. Be accepting of ourselves. Acceptance is the first step!

2. Ensure basic needs are fulfilled: Love, belonging and authenticity!

3. Identify relationships for support. Be strategic in aligning who and how.

4. Develop a daily practice model.

Demonstrate God ’ s good consistently.

Affirmation I EMBRACE My Humanness for Good!

Quote “ We cannot grow spiritually if we ignore our humanness, just as we cannot become fully human if we ignore our spirituality. ” ~ Jean Vanier
