A better message 

In order to experience progress and healing that embraces all, we need to replace disturbing messages with actual spiritual, peaceful truth.

Keeping prayer simple 

We find healing through God when we give up any personal ownership to healing.
Facing an injury at camp, this counselor in training discovered that her practice that summer of turning to God quickly and regularly prepared the way for a swift healing.

My “great concern” 

God, as always, had provided just what I needed. It was as if the walls of a tunnel had been bulldozed, and light was suddenly pouring in. 

Nothing added or taken away 

In recognizing the inherent completeness of all that really exists, we find peace in the truth that nothing that is truly of value or of genuine substance is ever lost.

Undeterred 

I held to the truth of God’s—divine Truth and Love’s—presence and protection.

Out of a job? Never! 

As God’s reflection, each one of us is complete and secure and does not have to entertain doubts or fears about our livelihood. 

The living idea 

Instead of wallowing in pain and a mistaken sense of limitation, we rise up, maturing in our understanding of God’s expression of us, Life’s infinite idea. 

What will I do today? 

Whatever I do today, I hope and pray to be alert to and aware of people around me who are in need, to recognize ways in which I can be of help, and to share something of Christ’s promise and blessing each day.
 I thought I would share my bedtime prayer with you in case it could help you, too.
