A Prayer of Faith

Living in the interplay of Divine Potential,

I awake to the high vibration of faith,

free-flowing through macrocosmic correspondence.

Conscious of who I am, dazzled by what I see,

I bring forth Divine inspiration,

raising my lower self to its highmost.

Choosing Trust over fear, all I do, say and write

casts my vibrational vote of love for Heaven on Earth.

I am emancipated from the fear-filled self,

lifting me to a whole new plane of spiritual magnitude

where all is resolved by faithfulness to the truth.

Any abstractions that entered my casual periphery

now reverse themselves through faithful re-alignment

with the stabilizing element of this, my incarnation.

Knowing God as indivisible,

I am at peace with Its multiplicity.

Unobstructed and free from interference,

the battle between the higher and lower energies subside

as the clash of colors return to their perfect blend.

Even in the midst of darkness and doubt,

my faith and trust intensifies, proving God prevails.

Wakefulness, quieting the cacophony of this world,

finds the distortion of longing

replaced by a deep sense of spiritual knowingness.

I find the light, not by turning back from darkness,

but by courageously walking through it.

Faithfully claiming the Divine power I am,

self-assured of the perfect outcome,

I confidently step into my greatest challenge.

Knowing all the forces of the universe unite

to bring any imbalance to a complete healing.

I trust the shift takes place in my awareness,

giving my spirit the growth it came here to learn.

No longer deceived by the malleable ways of this world,

my soul’s eye becomes faithfully transfixed on God.

I dissolve any fears of folly by refusing to respond

to anything but the deepest and highest.

Grateful to have arrived at the point where I started,

in loving partnership with the Omnipotent,

I know this place for the first time, again and again

with a heart refreshed and renewed and a faith-filled spirit.

And so it is!

Rev. Christian

Post Election Reflection

Some of my thoughts after the presidential election – In love, Rev. Christian

TO DESERT THE TRUTH IN THE HOUR OF NEED IS TO PROVE THAT WE DO NOT KNOW THE TRUTH.  When things look the worst, that is the supreme moment to demonstrate, to ourselves, that there are no obstructions to the operation of Truth.  When things look the worst is the best time to work, the most satisfying time. 

~Ernest Holmes

When life seems the worst, it’s the best time to know the spiritual truth. After heart break, loss of a loved one or an election it’s right to grieve, feel anger, sadness and disappointment. There is no urgency to rush through ones emotions. It takes time. It seems after each new president, half the country goes through mourning, each time confident, “It has never been this serious.”

During this election, I witnessed more people praying and meditating for the highest good of our country than any other time I can recollect. Monday night, more than a hundred women came together in the gardens of Seaside. They arrived with drums in hand ready to pray, meditate and create a soul-filled connection with mother earth for the highest and best for our country. As Seaside was both an official polling location AND a location for the flash mob meditation event with Elevate the Vote, I was surrounded by people praying for the greatest outcome for our world.  The answer to those prayers may have been or not been what everyone pictured or expected with deep hopefulness, but what I know  for sure, what unfolds is the answer to prayer and will elevate our nation to the highest good.

God as Omnipresence is in all places, including the most horrific of circumstances. Spirit is as available in your life the morning after a disappointment as it was the day before.  People have been crying for change for so long and it doesn’t usually come in a nice neat package. We must know there is good to be found as the old structures give way to the emerging change for greater good.  In the face of unsettling unfoldment, we must not permit ourselves to be influence by outside conditions or internal fears; we must stay focused on knowing it is all God in action.

Our country and people are all expressions of God. We are so much more than our fears. 

I will not give into fear, negativity and doubt because those emotions don’t produce Spirit’s vision of a world that works for everyone. I will turn to love knowing our leaders will be empowered more by this and better fed by love than fear, worry and hate. I give up the need for someone to be lovable before I can love them. I take it as my responsibility to believe, see and call forth the good that is in all people. If hate and violence is not what I wanted, then I will refuse to fall victim to an unconscious reactionary expression I did not support.

Evolution doesn’t tend to be a smooth process. Change does bring gifts but not always in the manner wanted. The unknown is the catalyst of change. Clearly, humanity is being called to practice faith, trust and belief in a knowing that these election results are somehow God’s expression of our prayers. Even if it seems hidden now, remember we wanted change. The Intelligence that guides the universe is the same wisdom that is moving through the United States and its leaders right now.

You can’t enjoy a You Tube video if you stare at only one frame. You will not understand what is going on in this process if you are caught on just this present image. You must take a mountaintop view to realize you have a choice. You always have a choice as to how you respond in the world. Do not allow the outside to dictate who you are. You are always casting a vibrational vote – Ask yourself if you are casting the kind of energy to the collective consciousness of a world in which you want to live. The work at hand involves our willingness to be part of the healing by trusting Good is emerging from a nation divided and that our prayers for change and greater good are happening now.
