SUNDAY'S INSPIRATION

Faith
My faith is strong. I am confident.
If I find myself in a challenging circumstance, I remember to check my perception of the situation. My faith does not lie in the trouble that surrounds me; my faith lies in God. During a dry season, a tree's roots grow deeper to reach water. Likewise, in times of seeming difficulty, my faith grows deeper as I seek connection with God.
I foster faith by focusing my thoughts on God's powerful protection and limitless love. I feel divine love within and all about me. I see any difficult situation through new eyes, and my anxiety disappears. I move through the challenge with grace and ease.
My faith in God is strong, because I know that I am always enfolded in God's peaceful, loving presence.
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."--2 Timothy 4:7


Hope
The light and love of God within me shine brightly.
A dark cloud in the sky can seem ominous, but no cloud can stop the sun from shining. Above the clouds, the sun shines as brightly as ever.
Regardless of any shadow clouding my day, the love of God within is ever present, always shining, blessing me with guidance, inspiration and hope.
At any time, I may reconnect with the infinite love of God within. I center myself in meditation and prayer, and the light of wisdom and understanding grows. Nothing in the outer world is beyond the power of God's love to transform.
"Your life will be brighter than the noonday; its darkness will be like the morning. And you will have confidence, because there is hope. –Job 11:17-18
