8. Speak the Word

IF you would demonstrate, attain, manifest greater good in your mind, body, and affairs, take time to speak aloud the word of Truth. Speak the word of wisdom, wholeness, harmony. Speak it aloud in the privacy of your own room or home until the air vibrates with the divine ideas contained within it!

If it is greater wisdom and understanding you desire, declare aloud, in a firm but gentle and confident manner: "Let there be light. Let the clear light of God's day shine through my mind!" If you are in need of healing, decree: "Every cell of my body is indelibly stamped with a clear picture of radiant life. It now manifests that life!" If you seem to lack any good thing, affirm, "God is my unfailing, enduring, exhaustless supply."

Do not strain or become tense or anxious in your speaking of these words, but repeat them in tones of peace, joy, and confidence, in the full awareness that it is the Father who does the work and brings forth the good results. Your part is to take hold of the divine idea in faith,
