I recognize right here and right now that there is One Infinite Life, One Source, One Divine Presence. This Presence is all-knowing Wisdom, boundless Love, everlasting Freedom, deep Peace, radiant Joy, and limitless Abundance. It is the Infinite Mind of God expressing everywhere, always, and in everything.

I know this Divine Presence is not outside of me—it lives at the very center of my being. It is the Source within, the upward Light that guides me, the stillness before action, the Presence before motion. And as Ernest Holmes reminds us, “the control of affairs is from within out and not from without.” Therefore, I turn my attention inward and upward, anchoring myself in Spirit before I move outward into the world.

I speak my word now for myself and for all who hear this truth: We choose to pause before the “doing.” We choose to remember before we act. We align with Divine Wisdom, Love, and Freedom before we take a single step forward. In this alignment, our actions become infused with clarity, grace, purpose, and effectiveness. We are no longer outer-driven, pulled by distraction or hurry. We are inner-guided, Spirit-directed, and Source-centered.

I affirm that each day of this month, and in every moment of this life, we are called to go IN and UP before we go OUT. And in this practice, our outer actions become powerful demonstrations of Spirit’s Love, Peace, and Abundance in form.

I give thanks for this truth. I give thanks for the power that flows from within outward. I give thanks for the Presence that always guides, uplifts, and directs us.

And so, with faith and conviction, I release this word into the perfect Law of Mind, knowing it is already done.

And so it is.
