Prayer Chaplain Corner
Greetings from your Prayer Chaplain Team
Today I find myself on my spiritual path that I would not have been able to comprehend just a few years ago. By that time in my life the concept of the Divine “God” was only a far-fetched fantasy, or mystery if you will! I was wrong! I find myself reaching out for guidance constantly. Whenever I am “lost” I find myself reaching out to the Divine. As I get that sense of being lost, I seek comfort in knowing I am never alone. I am mystified constantly with this knowledge. The fact that with each and every breathe I take, I see and feel this as a gift. Not long ago I did feel lost. The security I live with today knowing that I am not alone fills me with joy. Every is a day is a gift and I finally see that. This joy I live with fills me with each stop I take, as the result of allowing this miracle to help shape my life. I am so blessed.
Today I know that I am filled with light. This light shapes me, guides me and helps me to see the pure wisdom that I seek is real. This is a true miracle. Today I am strong. Today I am unafraid, because I see the light lift me up and shine on me now! I see myself open and receptive to the guidance constantly! I am blessed and I am filled with gratitude that I have been offered these gifts. I find that with gratitude I can send these gifts to each and every person I connect with. Thank you, God!
Namaste!!!!

WHEN I AM CONFUSED by Charles Roth
As we tread our individual paths through life we are sometimes diverted into side-roads where we feel lost and confused. We seek the advice of others, or we sit and “stew”, mentally sketching images of failure and defeat. “If only I knew,” we cry. “If only” is the hallmark of the confused, bewildered human mind.
In Truth we are training ourselves to step out of the “if only” consciousness, and into the security of the Christ Light. You may seem to be in a tunnel of darkness, unable to see your next step. But every tunnel has an end and if you look with your heart you shall “see” that Light which signifies hope and victory. It may be only a pin- point of light at first; but it will grow as you keep your vision centered on the Christ within you. Say the fol-lowing prayer statement to yourself until you get the “feel” of it and then speak it aloud—quietly, but with conviction and faith:
I Turn to the Christ Within For Inspiration and Guidance
. . . I am a spiritual being, one with the Mind of God in which resides all wisdom. Just as a lost and bewildered child turns to his parent for guidance when faced with a new and baffling experience; so I turn eagerly and trustingly to the Infinite One within. Through the Christ in me, the Father’s Image-like-
ness, I receive new confidence, new understanding and new strength. Inspiration floods my mind and I know what to do.

You Know This - Words of a Skylark
Apples come from apple trees. Roses grow on roses bushes. If a gardener wants carrots, he plants carrots seeds and not radishes or onions. All through life it has been proven that there is a spiritual and a natural law of life that causes all things to produce after their kind. Although Jesus Christ taught it a couple of thousands years ago, man is only now, at first regretfully and then joyfully, discovering this Truth. He discovers that each thought he holds, and each word he speaks, is governed by this very same law. Words of love and kindness never produce hate and inconsideration. You are the boss of your life, if you really want to be.
