Prayer for Safety and Security
I realize in this very moment that I am "of God and in God" ... this is the Truth of me and this Truth keeps me free from harm's way.  There is that within me that knows, without doubting, that I am Divinely guided and directed to do that which I am to do without any sense of separation from Infinite Spirit.  The Spirit of God has created me, and the Spirit of God embraces me ... my faith is strong, alive and well within me.  In this Divine Embrace I desire peace for myself and peace for everyone.  I perform my duties knowing that God has placed me in this capacity to perform these duties.  No matter what may come to me, I never allow myself to feel separated from God.  God is in the midst of me ... surrounds me ... embraces me ... and protects me ... right where I am.  I am deeply thankful for this understanding ... and I go forth knowing that the Father and I are One.  And so it is.  Amen.

Prayer of Confidence
     In this moment I turn to God within me ... within my heart and within my mind ... and I recognize that I am not all of God ... but all that I am is God.  Closer to me than breathing, I feel the Presence of God with me and within me.  I feel this Divine Essence as It restores my soul ... and though I walk through a land that is unknown to me ... I do not feel fear as my mind is filled with faith.  I realize that I am One with this All-Powerful Infinite Presence.  As I connect with It in my mind, a sense of radiant confidence moves through my soul.  My heart is strong and my mind is clear ... as I move forward with confidence that all that I need comes to me when it is needed ... all that I need to know ... is known to me when I need to know it.  This is the Spirit of God working in my mind filling me up with faith and hope.  I move forward with a greater sense of confidence as I know that it is God that infuses me with confidence.  I am absolutely certain that each and every day God is showering me with great blessings of strength, confidence and self assurance.  There is nothing in me that doubts my ability to complete the purpose that God has set forth for me.  I realize and actualize my faith dynamically in my mind as I mentally conceive of a vision that is greater than anything that I have experienced before ... and that my future experiences will be patterned from this great vision within me now ... a vision of leadership, accomplishment and dignity.  Nothing and no one can shake my faith in my One-ness with God, Infinite Spirit.  And so it is.  Amen.
