Tomorrow is a New Day

[Guest guest]

Lynda,You're right...tomorrow will be better. That's what I always tell myself when I'm going through a hard time. Eventually it comes true and it will for you too. I can completely identify with the fear, loneliness, crying, depression, etc! I'm going to share some things I read when I feel this way in hopes they'll ease your mind the way they do for me...if not, find something that hits close to your heart and read it every day to help get you through the rough times.

Here's the first one:Today's Positive Thought Don't be afraid! Anything is possible with God.

Today's Positive Affirmation I AM fearless because I have placed my faith in God and I know that with God ALL things are possible.

Today's Positive Visualization I take an even breath and relax into the presence of God within me. I breathe in peace and breathe out any anxiety or fear I might be experiencing. I shift my awareness from the outer situations of my life to the presence of God within me. I feel the Divine power and strength of this presence surrounding and supporting me. I remind myself that with God ALL things are possible. I know that God's Divine design includes health, prosperity, safety, peace, and success. God is never late. Once again I affirm my faith in God and imagine God's power bringing good things into my life. I combine these images with the feelings of joy and let them go, knowing that they will create the good things I am visualizing and thinking.

Here's the second:

There are in truth, no incurable conditions...that which exists is and was produced from a first cause, and may be met or counteracted, or changed, for the condition is the breaking of a law.

See yourself in excellent health,and if you will do it right before you sleep,then there will be many hourswhere you will be unconscious,where you will not be doing any miscreating to counteract that.

So, Lynda, just remember, that NOTHING is incurable. You are meeting and counteracting this with chemo, detox, diet and lots of support from all of us. You're doing everything you need to be doing. Hang in there. Love, PH
