DOING THE WORK CLEARING NEGATIVE BELIEFS ABOUT MONEY
This week we will identify and clear negative beliefs about money, wealth, and prosperity. A negative belief is a thought form held in consciousness that gives rise to or supports negative emotions that will limit or restrict possibilities.
Example
I believe money is evil. I believe rich people are bad. I believe I have to work hard to get money.
CALLING IN THE GOOD
Using a sheet of lined paper, write 9 or more negative beliefs you hold about money and wealth beginning with the words: "I believe . . ."
When you are complete with writing these statements, go back, cross each statement out and write the following words; "I forgive myself for limiting God." over the crossed out statement.

Surrender refers to a state of physical, mental, and emotional inaction which provides an energetic opening which facilitates Divine Presence and activity.
Surrender refers to the yielding or giving over of self, desires, intentions and outcomes which is not equivalent to disinterest. Rather, surrender is a state of detachment from the details and controlling the details related to how the outcome must or will unfold.
It is a state of neutrality which allows events to unfold without limitation, judgment or resistance.
Surrender is the active state of remembrance that there is a divine law and order to activities and events.
As a state of consciousness and being, surrender means being flexible, willing and open to the flow, influence, energy and power of Divine Presence.
In the realm of common experience, surrender is thought of as giving up, as in defeat. In the spiritual realm, surrender is giving overto a powerful, higher presence which takes into account the interests and well being of all involved.
In a state of surrender without attachment to how or when things must occur, we become receptive and obedient to the inner voice which may offer opportunities and possi-bilities which were not considered.
The greatest demonstration of surrender is in the choice not to indulge toxic emotions (e.g., anger, guilt, shame, etc.). To surrender a negative emotion requires acknow- ledgment that it exists and the choice not to allow it to control thought or behavior.

Holy One,
I know that Your love heals, blesses, joins and renews. I know that as your Divine child in whom You are well pleased, You bless me in the fullness of Your love. You rain down on me with your presence and pave the way for me as I start each new day.
Today, I ask that You shower me in the fullness of Your love. I ask that You shower me in the fullness of your peace. I ask that You shower me in the fullness of Your grace. I open myself up and ask that You rain on me and wash me clean of anything that does not serve You and the fullness of Your expression in my life.
I thank You, God, as I open my expectant heart to the fullness of Your presence within me. I am thankful for Your presence and the blessings that flow within. I am blessed by Your love and my heart is open wide.
I love You, God.
Amen.
Rev. Danielle Hatchell

I surrender and release the control
I think I have over my life.
I surrender all anxieties I have about
relationships and allow love to
come into my life.
I surrender my fears and allow
Divine Wisdom to guide me.
I surrender my need for approval
and accept myself the way I am.
I surrender any need I think I have
for unhealthy foods and I now
support my body temple with
beneficial, nutritious food
that promotes good health.
I surrender all thoughts that
I am unlovable, my heart is
now open and I radiate love.
I surrender all negative thoughts
and fill my mind with gratitude
for my wonderful life.

Surrender is the active reminder that there is a divine law in operation, and that we are always accountable to the law. Surrender is an admission that we cannot make anything happen. However, if we are in alignment with the law, we will always get what we deserve. If we are not in alignment, it simply means we must do the work to make ourselves so.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Surrender allows us to face the thing we fear before it becomes a reality. The fear of being wrong. The fear of losing control. The fear of being found out. Most of the time, the thing we fear has absolutely no power, yet we brace ourselves for the worst possibility. In that defensive posture we keep our minds fixed on what could or might happen. The fear of facing that imaginary negative outcome is what keeps us paralyzed. Surrender places us in the offensive position. It gives us the opportunity to plan, and to move according to the plan.
__________________________________________________________________________
Surrender helps you to become willing to live through the experience, without giving your entire life over to it. It also makes room in your heart and mind for the Divine to give you a new idea. A new thought. When you surrender, give up the fear thoughts, and give up the control of a situation, you open the way for a miracle to take place.
