Here and Now: Finding God in the Everyday

by Elizabeth D. Gray

Oh, how much we miss in our seemingly unremarkable days. God is there in each corner of our busy lives, waiting for us to find him. And if we could only open the eyes of our hearts, we would see him there in the everyday, speaking to us always and everywhere.

An affirmation on its own is a powerful thing. However, flexing the muscle of an affirmation with the conscious expression of your own words, thoughts and experiences is a transformative thing. Use this affirmational journal to not only absorb the powerful messages in each affirmation, but to accentuate them ten fold by the expressions of your own creation.

T’was Not a Mistake

I longed for the sweet voice
Of a friend not seen for years
When the phone rang suddenly
Instant answer to my prayer
T’was not a mistake
A check arrived most unexpectedly
At the final hour
Making good my overdue debt
T’was not a mistake
An illness vanished
Most unexpectedly
Freeing my child of its clutches
T’was not a mistake
It is long past time for ceasing
To label such miracles
Coincidence and mistake
My Lord responded to the call of my heart
T’was not a mistake
T’was not a mistake

About the author

Everyone has the power to change the world in their own way. I found that power in my writing. And if I can help someone else discover how their own unique talents, abilities and desires can change the world, I've accomplished my goal. Changing the world need not be some lofty goal. Changing the world can be as simple as saving yourself, loving yourself, discovering what gifts you have to share. My work reflects a sincere desire to lift and inspire while acknowledging the beauty inherent in all of us.
