Hold Onto Your Hope

Just stop for a moment and enjoy wherever you are. Breathe into Life. Breathe from that place of Joy. Take in the Love that is around you. And believe with every fiber of your being that Life is indeed Good.
And from that space, hold on to your belief that all is well. Set aside any and all doubts, and just know that things will turn out for your highest and best. Don’t falter in this belief, not for a second. It takes courage, but there is strength in hope. It takes faith. And what is faith for, if not to set aside the fear. Believe and hope and trust.
Know now that there is a power for good, greater than any human frailties, and that this good goes by many names. Today I choose to call it God. And I know that the power within is God’s life, and is my life, and is your life right now. And that this power, this presence is right beside me, right within me, indeed IS me at my very core. I turn to that power and presence and declare that only good goes before me, only good follows me, and only good flows from me. I trust deeply that all is well, and it dissipates any fear, turning that fear back into its native nothingness. What remains is pure light, peace, and abiding Love. And I know with absolute certainty, that all is well.
My heart soars with gratitude, as I return to my breath. Feeling the peace, the joy, and the love that is all around me. I let go and let God. And so it is.
