Treatment by Rev. Faith Woods
On this morning of November eighteenth two thousand and fifteen, I pray.
I pray giving thanks for the ideas that spring forth from creative mind that provide beautifully for life. I give thanks that the creative process is a continuum that is available for every creative expression. I give thanks for the cycles of creativity – the awakening to the idea, the creative process itself, the action of the law that produces it, and the relaxation as one awaits a new direction. I remind myself that all of these are valid parts of the process and I become willing to be active when there is a time for action, and still when there is a time for stillness.
Knowing the creative life power within me now is the same creative source that breathed life into this body, I give thanks to the almighty power of Love itself. For only Love could be so giving and full of joy of life and willing to have its creations create from themselves. I absolutely know this power is wherever I am – while sitting and breathing quietly in meditation, or racing to get ready for an activity. In the calm or the storm, God is.
I speak my word of gratitude. I give thanks. I give thanks for this expansive teaching of Science of Mind that I find remains strong and true in principles, enhancing and enlarging itself as needed to allow continual creation. I give thanks that this philosophy is found and expressed in so many ways, from the sages of past eras, and in the mystics who express these ideas today. I am grateful the teaching is timeless.
I give thanks for the Centers of Spiritual Living ministries and the creative ways that each minister, practitioner, and student uses the teaching for good. I speak a word that the creative process is honored as we each awaken to ideas, move to bring them forward, take a breath and relax to appreciate the work, and remain open for the next movement of Consciousness.
I bless this day in every way and release this prayer to the law to do its part and bring it alive. With all the love and knowing that these words are truth spoken, I release. And so it is.
