Affirmation for Concentration
from the June 2002 Daily Meditator

The quality of Concentration is one of fifty-two selections from J. Donald Walters' book, Affirmations for Self-Healing. Also see individual affirmations for:
      Calmness
      Devotion
      Humility
      Immortality

Concentration is the secret of success in every undertaking. Without concentration, thoughts, energy, inspiration, purpose-all one's inner forces-become scattered. Concentration is the calm focus of one's full attention on the purpose at hand. Concentration means more than mental effort: It means channeling your heart's feelings, your faith, and your deep aspirations into whatever you are doing. In that way, even the little things in life can become rich with meaning.

Concentration should not involve mental strain. When you really want something, it is difficult not to think about it! Concentrate with interest on whatever you do, and you will find yourself absorbed in it.

Affirmation
Whatever I do in life, I give it my full attention. Like a laser beam, I burn from before me all problems, all obstructions!

Prayer
Help me to see Thee, Lord, as the Scriptures describe Thee: "the most Relishable"! Help me to concentrate on Thee my gaze, my love, my aspirations, my entire being.
