Inspirer of my mind, consoler of my heart, healer of my spirit, Thy presence lifteth me from earth to heaven, Thy words flow as the sacred river, Thy thought riseth as a divine spring, Thy tender feelings waken sympathy in my heart. Beloved Teacher, Thy very being is forgiveness. The clouds of doubt and fear are scattered by Thy piercing glance. All ignorance vanishes in Thy illuminating presence. A new hope is born in my heart by breathing Thy peaceful atmosphere. O inspiring Guide through life’s puzzling ways, in Thee I feel abundance of blessing. Amen.

Unexpected Money There is one God, one Mind, one Creative Intelligence, one cosmic creative something. This creative cause created me in order to express Itself. It created me with talents and abilities, with health, life, love, with everything. Within me right now this action is taking place, expanding every pattern I have in my subconscious mind of money. Every money pattern in my subconscious mind is now expanded. I am open and receptive to unexpected money, which comes to me in right ways. I believe that in one sense of the word God is money in action, for it is my ease, my comfort and my freedom. I now accept unexpected money from any and all sources, ways and means as long as they’re right. I believe that my prosperity is spiritual. I shall use it with wisdom and I shall use it with joy. My subconscious mind now accepts this and acts upon it. And it is so. So it is. Dr. Raymond Charles Barker

In the Omnipresence of Good I live, move and have my experience. God in all, through all, is all. Knowing this, I watch my thinking, and I watch what I say. I make certain my thinking is in accord with Truth, and I make certain that the words proceeding out of my mouth are in accord with Truth. I think and talk in affirmative ways that bring forth the good I want. All life and intelligence respond to my correct way of thinking and speaking. Knowing that negative states of consciousness disrupt the spiritual process of right living, I demand that my subconscious mind erase all negatives in my thought and feeling nature. I decree their demise and elimination from my consciousness. Now, I create the good I want by my affirmative thinking of it. All opposition to good has ceased. Good is mine by virtue of my consciousness. No individual, situation or condition can interfere. The Law of Mind now creates and establishes in my life my good. Infinite Mind always responds to my right thinking and speaking. I select and maintain healthy attitudes, optimistic and therefore spiritual. I waste no mental energy on fear and doubt. I have faith in the good, the true and the loving. Dr. Raymond Charles Barker

Awareness is Mine My life is a new awareness of God. The One Spirit that sustains all animates and vitalizes me. Because I am inspired by this Infinite Intelligence, a world of Spiritual ideas is mine. I live in the consciousness of knowing who and what I am—a child of the cosmos with a mind that conceives and projects a universe. I accept myself as a vehicle for Mind’s perfect action. I live in the success and fruitfulness of a new awareness. I am at peace in the Mind that created me. No matter what the suggestions of human experience present, I express the Power that constructed me. I perceive myself as majestic, great. I know I am not the totality of Being, but I am the expression of all God is. Therefore, my wholeness, harmony and creativity are assured forever. Today, I give thanks, and accept myself as a center of Divine Activity. I know all my ways are well. Dr. Stuart Grayson

There is one Life, one Mind, one Spirit, one health, one vitality and one energy. I accept myself as the health of the Living God. I decree into my subconscious mind that any and all patterns that could possibly cause disease of any kind are now neutralized, denied, robbed of all authority. Therefore, every pattern of normal health is now activated in my mind. I am radiantly healthy. I am the energy, the vitality, the strength of the Living God. I am this because my mind now has the order to be this. So subconscious mind, you ordain it, and I rejoice in your perfect work. And so it is. Dr. Raymond Charles Barker

I Am Never Alone Spirit is omnipresent; hence, I am never alone. Spirit is omniscient; as such, I know all I need to know. Spirit is omnipotent; therefore, I am powerful. Spirit is "omniloving;” consequently, I now let myself be embraced by this Infinite Love. In my humanness, I may feel alone at times. This is my opportunity to go to God, first and always! Once I turn to God, the Law responds as a magnet and I attract in my life all I need. I am willing to trust this more than ever before, and that trust, too, is gifted with my needs being met. My relationship with Spirit is so full and so rich that everything in my life results from it. I see my life as a reflection of this relationship. I go to God first. And so it is. Rev. Frankie Timmers

The Source of my good is centered within my own consciousness. My well-defined thought designates what form my good shall take, and the power of God Mind fulfills my request by means of Law. I depend upon this Divine Principle going on within me for everything. God is the Source and Substance of my health, my finances, my relationships and my work. All that is good in my life originates in the Mind of God. God is my Source. This state of mind does not alienate me from people; it puts them in proper perspective. The people in my life represent avenues of mutual respect, genuine interest and a fondness of character. I know that God is the Source of everyone’s good and the fulfillment of every individual need. God is the reciprocal action of Love in my life and in the lives of all with whom I come in contact. This Divine action establishes dignity for everyone. Today, the Source of all good, God, provides for me. My needs, known and unknown, are met. I am fulfilled and content. I meet this day with a consciousness of completeness and find good wherever I go. God is my Source, the Cause of my good. Dr. David J. Walker

Glory Lives in My Heart Warm is the love of the Eternal, and it glows within me, satisfying my soul. I am fed in all my depths of emotional need by this inner well of Compassion. The universe glows with kindliness. Everyone offers me the warmth of love and the joy of friendship. The Glory of God is upon me, and I rest in Its perfect action. This deep inner sense of well-being is now forever established within me. The expanding Power of God is the joy of my soul. Every good increases, and every good feeling is accentuated. The Holy Spirit of Peace is upon me and resident in me. Glorious is my day, and my heart rejoices. This inner deep feeling of greatness now directs my thought. I not only know the Mind of God, but I feel the Presence of the Spirit. I arise and shine, for the Glory of God is within me, and Peace does fill my world. I can accomplish my aims. The Holy Spirit is in my mind now. Divine Love floods my emotions. Glorious is my thinking and my experience. God is my all; no more can I seek. Dr. Raymond Charles Barker

God Omnipotent created me as a free and full expression of Itself. I have the freedom of the Mind which brought me forth to express Its ideas. I choose, and Divine Law produces. There is no power to hinder me and no law to refuse me. All of Life is mine to use for good, and this I do. I determine my own results. I blame no one for my mistakes, not even myself. I refuse to believe that the world acts upon me, for I know that I act upon the world to demonstrate what I want. Today I have unlimited health. As I praise life, health, strength and vitality, they arise within me and give of themselves through me. I am constantly renewed by inner power. I accomplish without strain. All things are easy, and all work is a pleasure. I rejoice in my God-given health. I rejoice in the power and strength that is mine. Today, I have peace of mind. It matters not what others believe, nor what others do. My peace comes from my knowledge of God as my source, my life and my deliverance. I give thanks that this is so. Dr. Raymond Charles Barker

My mind is a centre of Divine operation. The Divine operation is always for expansion and fuller expression, and this means the production of something beyond what has gone before, something entirely new, not included in past experience, though proceeding out of it by an orderly sequence of growth. Therefore, since the Divine cannot change its inherent nature, it must operate in the same manner in me; consequently in my own special world, of which I am the centre, it will move forward to produce new conditions, always in advance of any that have gone before. Thomas Troward

The universe supports me and maintains me in freedom because God is the Source and continuance of good. The Mind which created me sustains me. Money is God’s means of giving me ease and freedom. It is the symbol of the Divine Supply forever maintaining me in comfort. I use money for the glory of God, the good of my fellowman and the ease of my own experience. I believe God wants me to be happy and prosperous. I do not want anyone else’s money because God gives me the ability to earn my own. My earning capacity depends upon my consciousness, and I now have a prosperous consciousness. I receive money with appreciation, and I spend it with wisdom. I know that God is my Source of supply and that more money flows into fill my every need. I think in large and generous terms. I now let money appear in all possible ways. My faith determines my fortune. Money is mine to use but not to own. It circulates in my life with ease. I know my spiritual responsibility for the right use of money. It is God’s way of making my life free. Dr. Raymond Charles Barker

I behold what the Mind of God has created, and I rejoice in what I see. Love, Truth and Beauty make themselves obvious to me this day. I let them into my consciousness by means of my clear sight. Only the good surrounds me, awaiting my observation of its greatness. Like the Divine Mind, I look out upon my experience and call it good. There is only one Mind, one Cause, one Sight, and this sight is mine. It is perfect. It is normal. It is good. There are no patterns in my subconscious mind to limit or lessen my vision. I like what I see, for I see God in all, through all and as all. This is my kingdom of heaven right now. I see the Truth in all situations. I behold the Truth in all people. I watch the unfoldment of greater good in my experience. Into my eyes come the glory of God and the goodness of man. I praise this perfect sight which is mine. Dr. Raymond Charles Barker

The universe is Mind in action. The Divine Mind is the cause of all that is. It is the cause of my whole being. This Mind is total good and is always thinking by means of me. I am inlet and outlet for God’s ideas. These maintain me in right action and right results. I am inspired by great ideas all the time. Every problem is immediately solved as I use a spiritual idea to handle it. The Infinite Intelligence never fails me. The idea I need is the idea I have at the instant I need it. I know that all doubt is a lie. I reject it as it appears. Every pattern of doubt and question are now erased from my subconscious mind. I have absolute trust in the Mind of God. I know Its ideas are right now in my consciousness, and I am completely receptive to them. They sustain me in right thinking and cause me to act with wisdom and love in every situation. My life is a good one as I use ideas within my thought for new and improved situations. All things now work together for my greater joy, health and prosperity. I praise the spiritual inspiration that is mine to use in ways of wisdom. Dr. Raymond Charles Barker
