The Four Steps of Affirmative Prayer

• Acknowledge: The Spirit of God is all around me - and I feel It right now.

• Align:  The Spirit of God is also inside of me - helping me and guiding me.

• Affirm:  With the help of the Spirit of God, I know I can ....

• Accept: I say "thank you" to the Spirit of God because It loves me.
