Make my words thoughts and deeds sacred and pure.
Let me not injure anyone.
Let no one injure me.
Guide me direct me this day
Amen

Before sleep. after thoughts of gratitude.

The acts whose burden I placed on Thee this morning are now over.
It was You who made made walk, talk, think and act this day.
Recieve me now I am coming home to Thee.
Amen

The ego cannot survive such a prayer indefinitely and is weakened every day by it.
The prayer also dissolves karrma

I trust in God implicitly.

Sai Baba also recomended the affirmation.
"I am God"

Chris
Namaste
Beautiful affirmations Chris!!

Except for the last bit though, as the affirmation I am God in PYs view is not a correct one. If you think of God as the ocean and us as the wave, the ocean can exist without the wave, but the wave cannot exist without the ocean. So he was not keen for us to say that we are God, rather that we are children of God.

I quite often use this:

I am not a mortal being,
I am not the body,
I am a child of God.

Love,
