Leddy Hammock "Jonah's Story," or "How to Turn Your Life Around" When my best thinking has gotten me into my worst situations, the only way I can change my life is by changing my thinking. To turn a negative experience around, I forgive, I listen with my heart, and I turn my thoughts in a positive direction. I wake up from self-limiting thought. I bless and give thanks, as I take a new direction t...

Leddy Hammock Lyrics by Daniel Nahmod to "One Power" — "There's one Power, invisible, and you see it everywhere and every day – one Power, indescribable – and you speak of it with every word you say; mysterious, until you know the Truth, as simple as the love inside of you. Call it God, call it Spirit, call it Jesus, call it Lord, Call it Buddha, Bahá'u'lláh, Angel's Wings or Heaven's Door – But w...

Leddy Hammock Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Divine Mind, expressing as infinite Wisdom, Your name is Love. Amen, and so it is. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. As in spiritual consciousness, so also let it be in my world. Amen, and so it is. Give us this day our daily bread. We are receptive right here and now to unlimited good. Amen, and so i...

Leddy Hammock Lyrics from "I Am Free" by Sloan Wainwright: "I am free, right where I am — a piece of the puzzle, a part of the plan. I am free. I cleaned up my debt. I take time to accept all the beauty around me. I won't walk like a slave today, chained by my regret. My past and my future fade. I forgive, I won't forget. Still, I am free. By the Truth in each moment, by the love heaven sent, in m...

Judy Tafelski Inspired by lyrics by Lance Hoppen (of the band, "Orleans"), to "Start from where You Are." "There's no shame in crying, letting go of what's been done – The debt, the loss, the past mistakes, in time you'll overcome. Though the messages of childhood left their mark upon your mind. When you bring them to awareness, you can leave them all behind." "You don't have to do this on your ow...

Magie Cook (A five minute video is played in the first couple of minutes. You can see it here: https://youtu.be/M9zxHTNyCm0 ) Blessed is the perfectly unconditional love of the infinite Father that accepts us all, always. Blessed is the patient love of the Father, Who loves us enough to let us go our own way and waits for us to come to ourselves. Blessed is the love of the All-Knowing Father, Who...

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to 'My Life Is a Prayer" by Stowe Daily and Karen Taylor-Good: True prayer is a series of determined affirmations. This prayer is "not a plea, a desperate call, with tears that fall on bended knee. But, breathing out and breathing in, it's God in me that lives and breathes, my trusted Friend. My life is a prayer that God is praying." My true thoughts are words that...

Leddy Hammock "A thousand stars across the sky unveil the universe, then vanish in the morning light that slips around the world. Yet, you and I know they're up there, the way you know somebody dares to love you all the ways you most deserve." "That's love for all we're worth, and faith–the heart–comes first. And when we learn to let it in, it's heaven here on earth, this love for all we're worth....

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to "My Every Notion" by Sue Riley and Glen Roethel: What you say is what you get – a lifetime guarantee, sure bet – that what you say – with understanding faith — is what you get. As I speak (believing), my words have power. My life opens like a flower. Words and thoughts are seeds that grow. This is what I know. When I feel I've lost my way, I find perfect words t...

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics by Richard Mekdeci to"Just a Little Faith" "Everywhere I look, I see endless possibilities, and I know all I need is just a little faith." I center myself in the multiplying power of faith. I give thanks, even for the little I have, and I share it, for all I have to add is just a little faith. I don't give doubt a chance, when the storms of life are blowing. Just a...

Sue Riley From the lyrics to "Wrap You Up" by StoweGood. "My mother was a quilter, a poet and a sage. She wrote her life in fabric instead of on a page. She wrapped my life in wonder, her love made me whole. Here's the prayer with every stitch she wove into my soul. 'Let your mother wrap you up in love. Know that you are always taken care of. All is perfect and complete when you laugh, love, and b...

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics by Kit Holmes to "Choose what I Say": "Words are the seeds that made you and me and gave us our nights and our days. So, I carefully, consciously, willingly, thoughtfully, lovingly choose what I say." "Words are the engines that move us through life, holding us safe on the tracks, from station to station, each destination gives us strength to let go of the past." "...

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics by Megon McDonough in " I Am " (and based on Chapter 2 of Practical Metaphsics by Eric Butterworth: We are each, in potential, the I Am. That's all we need to be. We are so much more than our body, more than our mind.  What we are is the great I Am, before and after time. Here and now, we are each being healed, for the Great I Am lives in and through each of us, fo...

Leddy Hammock God is all there is. In the beginning, God. Jesus said that "I and my Father are one." We're made in the image and likeness of the One. Since God is what we are, let God be what we show. Let's see the God in every face, everywhere we go. Our mind is divine in the garden of our soul. We let in love, faith, and happiness, and witness what unfolds. God is all there is. In the beginning,...

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics by Jana Stanfield: I give and serve in love, so I always have more than enough of all that I need to do all I can do and to be all I can be. Compared to where we were, we've come all this far.  Let us spend the day enjoying where we are. We learn to give generously and to receive gratefully. We take a quick look back at dreams of yesterday – dreams of living the li...

Leddy Hammock Even in the dark night of the soul, it begins to dawn on me that the presence of the Christ is always right here with me. As I begin to think right thoughts, good results begin to surface in my life, rapidly and abundantly. I take a leap of faith, knowing that my good is already prepared for me. In this bright new day, I give thanks, for I am having a miracle for breakfast!

Leddy Hammock The 23rd Psalm (New International Version) is the basis for this powerful Resurrection message, inspired also by lyrics by Sue Riley. Jesus knew this prayer by heart and lived it perfectly. As we also learn this message by heart, we welcome a brand new day. No foolin'!

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics by Denise Rosier from "Hallelujah Today!" The road is long but I will make it. That's who I am. It's not the race but how I'm running -- not who I was, but who I'm becoming. Steady on! I'll finish strong on this path. With every breath in me, I call out, "Hallelujah today!" With every mile I'm reminded, I never go empty-handed. God is my strength. I'm never strande...

Leddy Hammock When I'm quiet in prayer, I open my heart, I open my heart. When I'm quiet in prayer I let go of fear, I let go of fear. When I'm quiet in prayer, I see only love, I see only love. When I'm quiet in prayer, I open my heart, I let go of fear, and I see only love. Alleluia!

"If I dream I'm on an island . . . somehow in my mind, the sunshine on my face becomes Your...

Leddy Hammock Lyrics to "A Rising Tide" by Harold Payne: "Right here, right now, we are all connected somehow. Even a whisper in the dark becomes a prayer and it reaches out and touches your heart. A rising tide lifts us all; every drop of water helps to keep the flow. When you make a ripple in the river of life, we will all be lifted – lifted by the rising tide. We all have dreams of a world wher...

JD Martin & Jan Garrett Inspired by lyrics to "One Heart" by Jan Garrett & JD Martin): There's a new Church on the horizon, made of light, not of stone, calling now to all creation, "You are not alone." We are One Heart, looking for answers. We are One Soul, finding our way through the dark. Hold out your hand. Someone will take it and bring you home again. One dream, we share together. We are all...

Leddy Hammock I am not here by accident. I am here in this place by divine appointment. Since God is everywhere equally present, whenever I turn my attention to the presence of the Good, I dwell in the House of the Lord. Wherever I am–either alone or gathered with others in prayer– my heart is in a holy place. In Genesis, we read that Jacob fell asleep, alone in the wilderness; when he awoke, he d...

Leddy Hammock I am a child of God, becoming more loving as I grow. As I grow up spiritually, I express greater love – less self-centered and more Spirit-centered. I learn to be more loving as I resolve to evolve. Thank God for lovelution! I resolve to evolve as a stronger and more loving child of God.
