Everything I need shall be provided today. Everything. Say it, until you believe it. Say it at the beginning of the day. Say it throughout the day.
Sometimes, it helps to know what we want and need. But if we don't, we can trust that God does.
When we ask, trust, and believe that our needs will be met, our needs will be met. Sometimes God cares about the silliest little things, if we do.
Today, I will affirm that my needs will be met. I will affirm that God cares and is the Source of my supply. Then I will let go and see that what I have risked to believe is the truth.
From The Language of Letting Go

I was just reading through a sort of "Daily Reflections" type of book, and it struck me that this line was pertinent to what you wrote:
The purpose of repetition is to make knowledge so ingrained, that the true human can come out.
The only problem that I see with repetition sometimes, is that I can say something so many times that it can be recited from memory without any conscious awareness of its meaning. This may not be a problem for everyone, but I have noticed it in myself at the end of every meeting we say the Our Father. I have had to back up and really think about what I am saying instead of just spewing words out that I can recite in my sleep.
I have just had to caution myself not to do this when saying things like you mention in the first line of your post. I have to force myself to stop whatever I am doing, and really focus on, sometimes visualize, and truly believe in the reality of being provided for today, or following the will of my HP, or whatever else I am saying or praying about.
Thanks for listening

I agree with what your saying! I am consciously trying to find some meaning in the serenity prayer and the our father each day. Really focusing on what is going on in my life and using a piece of it to offer me guidance!
One day its serenity, one day its acceptance.......
And lead us not into temptation is really used daily!!!!
Hope you'll share again! Lani
