25. My Prayer for Prosperity I believe God is the source of all supply and that “money is God in action.” I believe my good is now flowing to me so richly and so fully that I have an abundance of money to spare and share, today and always. I believe true prosperity includes perfect health, perfect wealth and perfect happiness. These words which I now speak in faith activate a Law of Universal Good, and I accept the results. I bless all the good that is with me now; I bless the increase. I bless all of the others in the Unexpected Income Program, and I know now we prosper together in every way. I give thanks for this good. So it is! And so I let it be.
