Reading & Meditation on Good by Rev. Teresa Stuefloten, M.Div. 10/4/2026

Good morning! This is Rev. Teresa. I have a reading for you this morning from the Divine Science Daily Study by Harold P. Ganss, Jr., 1930 - 1994, Divine Science minister, Washington DC, titled:

TAKE THE FIRST STEP 

What is the first step in accomplishing our heart's desires?

Frustration, despair and worry are not the answers--they merely delay the good that is in store for us. Yes, the first step in demonstrating our wishes is to see it already done in our minds. If you wish to do something -- you can either see yourself unable to do it, or KNOW that with the help of God you CAN. To accomplish this, you must envision yourself completing the desired activity easily and without straining or striving of any kind, and it WILL be done.

You must believe in yourself and not sell yourself short at any time. You are a child of God, and God created you whole and perfect, giving you the power of choice. Choose a life of peace, harmony and love each day and see how much brighter and happier the day seems to you. When you use the power and wisdom of God daily, your accomplishments will certainly be unlimited and never ending.

Affirm: Today I thank God for the good that is mine this very moment.

Meditation:

Now I invite you to prepare to go within for a short time of meditation, letting go of worries or concerns for this time, getting comfortable, closing your eyes with your inner gaze raised to the center of the forehead, turning your attention to your breath, gently noticing the in-breath and the out-breath…feeling the coolness of the in-breath and the warmth of the out-breath… allowing the breath to sink down into the belly with each in-breath… expanding the belly with each in-breath and contracting the belly with each out-breath… coming into the present moment through the breath now, completely awake and aware…

I am a child of God…

God created me whole, perfect and complete…

I live, move and have my being in God the good…

I am strong and capable…

I can do anything that is mine to do with Divine support…

I easily accomplish all of my worthy endeavors…

I am always in the flow of Divine support…

I receive Divine guidance daily from within…

As I listen in the silence I receive the guidance I need…

I use the power and wisdom of God daily…

I believe in myself and my ability to succeed…

With God’s support my accomplishments are unlimited…

I choose a life of peace, harmony and love each day…

I thank God for the good that is mine this very moment…

I am grateful for my Divine Life…

We listen in the silence for one minute now…

Now, having rested in the silence, I invite you to return to awareness of the now moment. As we turn within daily in meditation whatever is ours to do is revealed and Divine support is ours. Believe in your ability to succeed with God. And so it is!
