All my cells&lt;br /&gt;are absorbing energy, health, strength and new&lt;br /&gt;vitality from the Power that dwells within me.&lt;br /&gt;Healing life flows through every cell, cleansing,&lt;br /&gt;purifying and making me whole and well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it&lt;br /&gt;is heaven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear loving God, let the harmonizing power of Divine&lt;br /&gt;Love adjust all things perfectly as I move&lt;br /&gt;throughout this Divinely ordered day. Let me feel&lt;br /&gt;the peace of Thy presence within me and all around&lt;br /&gt;me this Easter weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Give us this day our daily bread.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May I, dear God, partake freely this day of the&lt;br /&gt;bread of life, the spiritual understanding that&lt;br /&gt;nourishes my soul. I give thanks that this day there&lt;br /&gt;is ample provision for every need of my body and&lt;br /&gt;soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our&lt;br /&gt;debtors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear God, let the forgiving love free me, once and&lt;br /&gt;for all, this Easter weekend, of all unhappy&lt;br /&gt;memories of the past. I ask to be cleansed. Calm the&lt;br /&gt;turbulent thoughts. Enable me to see through the&lt;br /&gt;problems of personality. Make me a radiating center&lt;br /&gt;of Love that shines forth to bless with&lt;br /&gt;understanding and compassion for all others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lead us not into temptation, &lt;br /&gt;but deliver us from evil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear God, today I choose to be freed from the&lt;br /&gt;temptation of negative error thinking. Let Thy&lt;br /&gt;presence with me guide me in controlling my thoughts&lt;br /&gt;and words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I fear no evil as I let the Spirit guide and protect&lt;br /&gt;me and call to my remembrance all that is&lt;br /&gt;spiritually good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;forever&lt;/strong&gt; - inside of me during these next spiritual&lt;br /&gt;hours celebrating Easter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Jesus Christ&amp;#39;s name. . . Amen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; God Bless You !!!!&amp;nbsp; HAPPY EASTER !!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; Reverend Christopher Ian Chenoweth &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Prayer for Peace&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh God, lead us from the unreal to the Real. &lt;br /&gt;Oh God, lead us from darkness to light. &lt;br /&gt;Oh God, lead us from death to immortality. &lt;br /&gt;Shanti, Shanti, Shanti unto all. &lt;br /&gt;Oh Lord God almighty, may there be peace in &lt;br /&gt;celestial regions. May there be peace on earth. &lt;br /&gt;May the waters be appeasing. &lt;br /&gt;May herbs be wholesome, and may trees and plants&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;bring peace to all. &lt;br /&gt;May all beneficent beings bring peace to us. &lt;br /&gt;May thy Vedic Law propagate peace all through the&lt;br /&gt;world. &lt;br /&gt;May all things be a source of peace to us. &lt;br /&gt;And may thy peace itself, bestow peace on all, &lt;br /&gt;and may that peace come to me also. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;strong&gt;Salutation to the Dawn&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look to this day! &lt;br /&gt;For it is life, the very life of life. &lt;br /&gt;In its brief course &lt;br /&gt;Lie all the verities and realities of your existence: &lt;br /&gt;The bliss of growth; &lt;br /&gt;The glory of action; &lt;br /&gt;The splendor of achievement; &lt;br /&gt;For yesterday is but a dream, &lt;br /&gt;And tomorrow is only a vision; &lt;br /&gt;But today, well lived, makes every yesterday &lt;br /&gt;a dream of happiness, &lt;br /&gt;And every tomorrow a vision of hope. &lt;br /&gt;- Attributed to Kalidasa &lt;/p&gt;
