Day 2 - I dedicate myself on this day to focus on all that is nourishing, advancing and promising.
Meditation from Science of the Mind, pages 531-532:
Come, Thou Great and Infinite Mind and inspire me to do great deeds.
Acquaint me with Thy knowledge and in Thy wisdom make me wise.
I would be taught of Thee, Inner Light, and inspired by Thy presence.
I will listen for Thy Voice and it will tell me of great things to be done.
I will walk in Thy Paths and they will lead me into All Good.
I will be inspired from On High.
O Wonderful Presence, flooding me, filling me with Thy Light, Thou dost inspire me!
I feel the inspiration of Spirit!
When I remember you in my prayers, I always thank my God." ~ Philemon 1:4
Prayer of Thanksgiving:
Thank You, God, for the growing awareness of who I am. You have created me to express You. I make the commitment today to be Your hands, Your voice, Your heart. Live Your life through me -- fully and completely.

Commitment
In the summer of 1989 I volunteered as a chaperone for a mission trip
with the youth at my church. We joined over 1000 other teenagers and leaders
for a week of intense work in the mining town of Logan, W. VA. I was the leader
of a group of seven teenagers.
We put our heart and soul into repairing the home of the family we were assigned too. The seven of us had secret prayer pals, but being the leader I prayed for all my kids. On the last evening, each group formed a circle and one at a time we prayed for the person in the circle. The kids had an option of laying a hand on the one being prayed for but passed until I was the one in the center. Then while each prayed silently for me, enfolded in such love, I suddenly began to rise off the floor. A staff member who had joined our group screamed at the sight and I gently floated back down to the floor.
It was at that moment that I really knew what commitment meant – it makes life worthwhile.
