Prayer Chaplain Corner
Greetings from your Prayer Chaplain Team
As the weather begins to change, you may find something relaxing and deepening within you. I want to encourage you to allow this deepening to develop as you take time each day to breathe in peace and joy. Allow yourself to be held in the awareness of a quiet and steady sense of grace. Let light fill the space between the cells of your body and all around your heart. Become aware that you have no need to rush, push forward or strive to reach a goal.
Right this minute, in this very breath, know that you are enough just as you are at this very moment. You are deeply rooted in an endless stream of love and compassion. You have the opportunity now to step into a sacred place of stillness, and you are not separated from the source of life itself, but instead you are completely surrounded and immersed within it.
You now anchor your consciousness in Spirit, in the presence of holiness. Your mind is easily redirected if it wanders to worry, or into the busyness of the world, Spirit gently calls you back into grace and joy. You are not searching for the divine because you are already living within a perfect embrace.
You are sustained by love, a current of love that never runs dry, and you have no desire to control the future. All the heavy burdens of the future now fall away as peace and joy fills your heart. You realize and embody eternal and unconditional love, and you rest in that divine space. You are renewed as light washes over you and your energy is restored. You are restored and rest in your perfect place right now.
Namaste, Dana Martin

Mountain Mover No.1 . . . WHEN I AM CONFUSED by Charles M. 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 Father 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.
