God is All There Is. It is First Cause, Reality, Truth. It is The Thing Itself and I see It everywhere – in the leaves turning color, in the crisp, cool air of the fall, in all of the hot air balloons, in the moon, and in every face of every person I meet. God is.

Because God is, I am. God had a thought and I was born of its magnificence. I was born of the very fabric of First Cause, Reality, and Truth. I was born with all I need to experience my life exactly as I conceive and experience it. I am the word being prayed over and over again. I am that prayer and today I take my rightful place in my experience of this prayer.

I affirm and declare my own belief in myself. The ideas that have played out in my experience are perfect for my life and I step up to create and re-create the magnificence of my own journey. I am all that I have hoped for and I believe in my own abilities and see them reflected in my experience. I am a reservoir for the deepest good I can hold, for more love than I can imagine, and for a peace that surpasses all human understanding. It starts here, right now with me. I am so grateful.

I appreciate my own belief and I am grateful for it. I give thanks for all the people I love and who love me. I am truly blessed and happily ensconced in the belief that my life is good. I release my word knowing this prayer is done. And So It Is.
