Joy
Joy uplifts me as divine light shines from within me.
Sunday December 21, 2025
As Advent season draws to a close, I celebrate the light that glows from within me, the light of the Christ within.

Just as the three wise men journeyed to Bethlehem to see the newborn child, my journey through Advent has led me to discover the faith, peace, and love that are always mine.

These are the true gifts of Christmas, ones I carry with me all year long. No matter the challenges and obstacles I may be called to face, I will draw from my infinite storehouse of joy to remain optimistic and centered.

Joy is mine today. It is the fulfillment of my Advent journey, my divine inheritance. It is in the fullness of my heart, the contentment of my mind, and the deep feeling of wellness in my soul. I am joyous.

When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy.—Matthew 2:10

Healing
Godʼs healing love blesses every part of my life.
Thursday December 11, 2025
In the past, when I would pray for healing, my thoughts would go to my body and what it needed to be restored to health.

As I have grown spiritually, I have come to understand that healing encompasses all aspects of life and almost every condition I could experience. In addition to my physical well-being, my healing needs could pertain to my relationships, my emotional life, or my financial circumstances.

No matter what prompts my prayers for healing, I begin by affirming wholeness and the presence of God within me. I pray, releasing worries and anxious feelings and surrendering the situation to the Divine within me. I then claim my healing, inviting the peace and power of God to guide me.

Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly.—Isaiah 58:8
