Heavenly Father,

Easter has passed, and we remain grateful Father for the birth of Jesus of Nazareth and the priceless gift He made of His own life. He knew from the beginning what He was headed toward and still lived as an all loving being, a representation of You, incarnate. Help us to find such strength in ourselves no matter the challenges we face today, whether in health, finances or relationships that we may, as He did, transcend the negativity of our thinking.

You told us that we too are children of a living God. You are our Father as well as our Friend. Help us to remember You continually throughout the day as we serve You and the greatest good You guide us to do. Help us to notice when we have the sense of what is not right, so we may avoid bad choices, whatever they may be and turn to the light, to You, and higher consciousness.

These bad choices could be very subtle, but we know You are aware of those subtle differences between what is good and what is not. Help us to remain present and aware, so we may discern what You discern, and that we may avoid even the most subtle of traps of negativity. In doing so, we will turn away from subtle unkindness, subtle impatience, subtle judgment, and subtle forms of hatred of any kind whatsoever. We promise to do our best to notice not just the obvious transgressions against Your will, but also those subtle ones. We will look away no more.

Heavenly Father, today we promise, for this day, to stay aligned with your best wishes for us. And each day we promise to make the same choice again, and choose the resurrection of our souls from any hatred, that we may learn to be all loving as Jesus was and to forgive as He did to the very end…

In the name of, according to the teachings of, and in oneness with the spirit of Jesus Christ… Amen.
