It Is Enough

Every Tuesday morning my prayer partner and I meet by phone. We spend a few minutes catching up and sharing about our current life celebrations and challenges, then we quickly move on to our prayer requests and our prayer time. This past Tuesday, while sharing my challenge and prayer request about finances, I got in touch with a limiting core belief – “It’s never enough.” It hit me like a ton of bricks. I had to stop for a few moments to take it in, breathe deeply and feel the impact. The weight of it was almost too much to bear in the moment, yet I welcomed the enlightening revelation.

Because I had been sharing about my desire to generate additional financial abundance, the initial recognition was that the thought, “It’s never enough,” is a belief that I have around money. Yet, the longer I sat with it the more I realized that the energy of this thought resonates through much of my life. Finances just happen to be a present and tangible measurement of its effects.

My prayer on Tuesday was that I continue to contemplate this belief, remain open to recognize the ways I have allowed and continue to allow it to limit me, and do what is mine to do to be released from the energy of it. My prayer partner held this for me as we prayed together.

One might think that I would be accustomed to swift responses to prayers, but I am constantly amazed and delighted by how quickly Spirit responds when I am open to receive. This time I was open.

Each morning, Monday through Thursday, our staff at Unity Spiritual Center Denver meets for a time of prayer and meditation. We begin with reading the Daily Word for that day.

The word for this past Tuesday was “Worry-Free” and the affirmation, “Now is the time and this is the moment to free myself from doubt” The entry continues,

“At the very core of worry is doubt…I find release from worry in the quiet of prayer and meditation – in knowing who I am as a creation of God.”

This was my first nudge toward being released from my limiting belief.

We also gather each Tuesday morning for staff meeting. I begin our meetings with an inspirational reading. This past Tuesday, just before going into the meeting, I picked up from my desk a Unity publication from December 1905. The scripture at the top of the cover page is, “Ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free!” That in itself was a powerful reminder, but what came next was yet another answer.

I opened to a random page and read,

“Now, here is the secret – not to doubt, no matter what comes to us. We must know and declare that prosperity is ours. The noon statement that Unity people are holding is ‘I am prosperous; I always succeed.’ Now, from a limited standpoint this may not seem true, but when we speak from the Christ-consciousness, then it is absolutely true. Let us be true to Truth; true to principle; true to ourselves, and from Truth’s standpoint we say: I am prosperous; I am conqueror, today the same as yesterday.”

I love the phrase, “Let us be true to Truth.” To what Truth are we to be true? What is the Truth that when we know it sets us free?

Despite any appearance to the contrary, God/Spirit/Life/Creation is expressing itself, all of itself as each of us right here, right now. This is the Absolute Truth.

Taking this to heart, I wrote and repeated the following. I invite you to use this or something similar for any belief that you may be allowing to block your good.

Standing firm in the realization of who I AM, the Light of Truth shines from the inner core of my being and reveals to me that the belief, “It’s never enough” is a lie. I do not need to know where or from whom I learned it or when I allowed it to become part of my consciousness. I do not need to analyze it or trace it to its root. I simply allow the light of Truth to shine forth from my heart and soul and invite the energy of that belief to dissipate, to burn away, to be released from my energy field and make way for a new revelatory vibration – IT IS ENOUGH! In the vibration of Truth, I am set free. I am free from the energy of doubt and its effects in my life. I go forward with a renewed commitment to be “true to Truth.”

It is enough to know and fully realize that we are created as the image/likeness of our Creator endowed with the potential to express all that we can image God to be. If we are true to the intention to live that Truth, it is enough. We express the level of awareness we have at any moment in time, and it is enough. Still, we never cease to strive for greater embodiment of our Truth. We know who we are and what we are as the Christ of God in the world, and it is enough.

When we find ourselves in worry, doubt, fear or distress about any situation in our lives, we can stop, breathe, invite the awareness of Spirit in, through and all around us, affirm our unity with It, and say silently or aloud – “It is enough!” Allow it to resonate in our minds and hearts and open to our own revelation.

I invite you to join us at Unity Spiritual Center Denver on Sunday at 10:00 for our service. Our Associate Minister, Trish Morris, will present the lesson. I will be back on Sunday, September 9, when I will open the lesson to your questions. It will be “Ask the Minister” Sunday. So, get your best questions ready!
