Our Heavenly Father, Thou art the source of all health. There is no knowledge or understanding apart from Thee. Thy truth and wisdom are from everlasting to everlasting. It is Thy truth, which, entering into the mind of man, makes him strong in the power of Thy might; makes him wise in the strength of Thy wisdom. We realize that the desire of our hearts and minds to know more of Thy truth will relate us to, and make us one with it, and that Thy wisdom illuminating our minds shall throw light on the way that leads to life eternal, bringing us into the fulness, into the perfect freedom, of life and truth. May our every thought be inspired with Thy truth, that each word and deed, as it takes form in the world in which we live, shall perfectly express divine truth. We know when we are in the truth that our lives are in harmony with law; that our minds are continually renewed, and our bodies strengthened; that as we dwell in truth, truth lives in us. The joy and the peace of life are realized as never before.

Lead us in the way of all truth. Guide us in the way of all righteousness. Give to us an understanding of Thy perfect law, and strength and wisdom to bring our lives into perfect conformity and trust. Then shall the seeming end of life pass away, and the shadows of doubt and unrest shall no longer disturb us. Then shall we rejoice and be glad, for Thy truth and wisdom shall lead us into paths of pleasantness and ways of peace. And we shall have become free men and women in the Christ, and Thy name shall have all the honor and all the glory, and Thy truth shall abide with us evermore. Amen.

Meditation

O, Spirit of Hope, which proceedeth from the Infinite Mind to brighten and make glad the life of man, enter then into my life and find an abiding-place, giving peace and joy, so that the outer life may be radiant because of thy presence! We know that where Thy light is there can be no darkness, where Thy strength is there can be no weakness. Like a star, bright with promise, shine on the pathway of life, be to us a guiding light to direct us in the way of truth. Resting in Thy spirit, O Hope, love's dawning will become the sunlight of a new day, and Faith, Thy wondrous sister, will be the crowning manifestation of life. A life that will grow larger, happier and more complete. A life wherein every true desire of heart and mind will be fully and freely realized and exprest.

Meditation

O, Soul, rejoice and be glad! Sing unto the Lord a new song; a song that shall tell of His loving goodness and His compassionate tenderness; a song that shall burst forth in joy, because of the presence of His divine spirit, which filleth thy life with the perfect happiness of living. His presence is ever with thee, so that thy life partakes of His Omnipotence, thy understanding of His Omniscience. He breathes in and through thee the vital breath of life, and never leaves or forsakes, but is ever with thee. The sunshine of His glory illumines thy every way. And His beneficence encompass-eth thee. Let the new song which is in thy life sound forth in the world about thee. Let the inner glory and joy call out aloud to those who dwell in the shadows of life, that they may awaken and sing with thee the new song. Breathe upon the world what the spirit hath breathed in thee, that thou shalt aid in making the kingdom manifest, and in thee, through thee, and by thee shall God's perfect will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

This is thy high, thy holy office; and let God's word shine as a beacon-light, pointing out the way that leads to the life eternal. And in doing this hope shall so fill the souls and minds of those who are cast down that their eyes will be uplifted, and they shall see the divine; faith will so transfigure their lives that they will give expression to God's perfect image and likeness, and love will so radiate from the center of their beings that it will unite them with all souls, causing them to realize their at-one-ment with universal soul.

Rejoice and be glad; for in thy life the Christ hath arisen. In thee the Holy One of Israel is born. The Son of Righteousness has come with healing in His wings, and the glory of the Lord is about thee! Give thanks and praise the Lord, for His mercy endureth forever.

Meditation

Our Father, we greatly desire that the real substance of life may so flow through our being that we may become rooted and grounded in faith. We know that without Thy faith we can accomplish nothing, but that in living and realizing faith to be the one eternal substance from which all things proceed, we may become filled with Thy perfect health and strength, which are manifested as holiness of mind and wholeness of body. In Thee, O Father, is the wholeness of faith; in us the part. Make us to realize that the whole and the part are one, that there may be no sense of separateness, that we may know that Thy life is our life, and that from Thee comes every good and perfect gift.

Meditation

Our Father, we know that it is a reasonable service that we present our bodies whole and acceptable unto Thee, but we also know that this can not be done, save through the renewing of our minds, and that our minds are renewed by Thy spirit dwelling in us. In the spirit of faith we pray Thee that Thy spirit may find an abiding-place in our lives, illuminating our minds, and strengthening and making whole our bodies. We would make our bodies a fit habitation for the soul, so that Thy will may find its perfect expression in both mind and body.

Awaken our consciousness to the fact that Thou hast committed into our care faculties of mind, through which divine love and wisdom may act for the upbuilding of the habitations in which we live, and that only as we use Thy power aright can perfect health and happiness be ours. Cause us to see that only as we have health and happiness are we in accord with Thy divine law. We pray for a more perfect understanding of Thy law, and a greater desire to do Thy will. Free us from all selfishness that would ask for ourselves things that we would not as gladly see others receive. Make our wills one with Thy will and our desires one with Thy desires for us, so that we may ask nothing amiss of Thee, and with hearts filled with love and minds filled with thankfulness, we would bless and praise Thy Holy Name.

Meditation

Infinite and eternal Source of love, many have been the names by which Thou hast been called, but the Master has taught us the most beautiful of all Thy names, the name we may utter with our lips, but far and above all else, feel in our hearts: Love - love that transcends all thought or understanding; love that illumines the soul and glorifies the life.

Our Father, Thy love is in all, through all, and above all. The tiniest dew-tipped flower is as much an expression of Thy love as is the radiant sun. Thy love gives color and beauty to all things. May it color and beautify our lives, transform and renew our very being. We know that dwelling in Thy love, no evil thing can befall us; that when it dwells in the heart, the mind is serene and our lives radiate the sunshine of Thy love. May its influx be so great that we shall show forth its divine presence in thought, in word, and in deed. We fervently desire that it may abide in us and we abide in it, that we may love Thee and one another as Thou hast loved us.

Meditation

Our Father, Thou in whom I live and move and have my being, Thou art the Loving Giver of every good and perfect gift, I ask that Thy love and wisdom may so illumine and direct my way that Thy invisible kingdom may find expression through my every thought, word, and deed. Help me to realize that Thy kingdom is within mine own soul, yet not alone within my soul but in all souls Thou hast brought into existence; that Thy life, Thy love, and Thy intelligence unite me in closest bonds of brotherhood with all Thy children; that there is no separation between their life and my life, but that we are all one in Thee.

Meditation

Our Father, Thou who dwellest in our own souls, help us to realize our oneness with Thee and our fellow man, that every trace of selfishness may be dissipated and Thy will reign supreme in our lives. Thou hast given us both thought and feeling; Thou hast endowed us with many faculties of soul and mind, wherewith to work out our perfect salvation. We know that when we are at one with Thee, Thy will and purpose are made manifest in our lives; and no temptation, however great, can prevail against us. Thy strength is our strength. We are strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. We desire that spiritual bread, Thy word, which shall sustain our souls in every hour of trial and temptation. We desire to use every gift which Thou hast given us, for Thy honor and glory. We desire the true riches which come through worship of Thee, and loving service to one another.

Meditation

Immortal and Eternal Spirit of love and Wisdom, Father of all, Mother of all, in Thee, through Thee, and by Thee are all things lived. There is no life or understanding apart from Thee. There is nothing in Thy universe, so distant or so small, but is animated by Thy life and controlled by Thine intelligence. Day unto day uttereth speech and night unto night showeth forth knowledge. All Nature is Thine open book, all Nature lives and moves in Thee.

We pray for a higher consciousness of Thy abiding presence in our lives, that we may know Thee and feel Thy love as the animating presence of our being; that we may comprehend Thy wisdom so that our lives may be directed aright, and that we, through such conscious feeling and knowledge, may realize eternal life, through knowing that Thy life and our lives are in no sense separate, and that Thou dwellest in us, and we in Thee, and that the soul of man and the soul of God are one.

With such consciousness, death loses its sting and the grave has no victory; but man becomes triumphant over death, and attains to that dominion and power which is latent in him from the beginning.

Who can feel Thy wondrous love, who can attain Thy infinite knowledge? Can the part understand the whole? Can the finite comprehend the infinite? Only as the consciousness of the finite and the partial passes out of the life of man and he realizes his divinity, his oneness with the soul of the universe, can he come into conscious communion with Thee, and feel Thy love which passeth understanding, and comprehend Thy wisdom which is not partial, but all-comprehensive. Becoming one with Thee, becoming one with Thy eternal love and life, he dwells forever in the universal soul, and humanity becomes lost in divinity. The temporal is past and only the eternal remains. Death is swallowed up in life, because Thou, O Father, art All in all.
