“Today, I seek to remember that every thought is a prayer sent directly to God. It is my mission to transcend fear and negativity, that all thoughts become direct prayers for betterment and good.” – Pamela J. Leavey

Years ago, when I first started writing Affirmations, I had been inspired by author Julia Cameron’s three books of Affirmations that she had published. Today’s Affirmation comes from her book, Blessings, Prayers and Declarations for a Heartful Life:
“My heart is a chalice for love. I am well loved. I open my heart to feel that I am loved. I allow myself to be saturated by love. I soften my heart and gently ask it to receive the love I encounter. I do not need to earn love. I do not need to work at love. I need only to allow myself to feel the love extended toward me. I need only to accept love to know that I am lovable. I choose to remember – and cherish – the ways in which I am loved. ” – Julia Cameron – Blessings, Prayers and Declarations for a Heartful Life

I’ve been charting rough seas for a few weeks now and I keep looking for a break from the many storms that have been thrown my way, financial, physical and given the first two, emotional as well. It’s been one of those times in life that no matter how hard you try, you just feel like it’s tough to get a break.
I’ve always believed in the power of positive thought and intent but sometimes even within a daily practice of affirmations, gratitude and prayers, you still feel as though the sea is tossing you from side to side.
Still, there are moments as each day passes by, that I see the light at the end of the tunnel. There is a reflection of light so wonderous, that it fills me with the necessary strength to push through the rough seas…

“Money is a means to an end. It is a servant and not a master. When I ask for money, I am asking for supply. It may come to me as money, but it also may come to me in other forms. I am alert to the many forms my supply may take. While I welcome and receive money as one form, I also welcome and receive supply in all forms it appears.” – Julia Cameron, Heart Steps – Prayers and Declarations for a Creative Life

“I relinquish all agendas and timelines originating in my fears. I relinquish all rationalizations and defenses grounded in my fears. I open my heart instead to the healing perspective of compassionate patience for others and myself. I allow myself the luxury of time, the dignity of right action and right timing.” – Julia Cameron, Heart Steps – Prayers and Declarations for a Creative Life.

“Life requires courage. All courage that I need is given me by Life itself. I am guided and supported in every step. I need only open myself to receiving support and guidance.
I honor my humility in admitting my need for help. I welcome the dignity of being a fellow among fellows. I honor myself for my courage in following my guidance.” – Julia Cameron, Heart Steps – Prayers and Declarations for a Creative Life.
