Let Go Let God Stand In Faith

I Stand Strong In My Faith.

If I doubt I have what it takes to live the life of my dreams, I look inside myself to see where I can shift my outlook. I affirm I can accomplish whatever I set my mind to do. I am strong, able, and ready to rise higher and higher. I hold on to the teachings of Jesus whenever I experience doubt or feel I am not enough. His teachings remind me I am made in the image and likeness of God, just as he was. I am capable not only of doing the amazing things Jesus did, but even more—if I allow myself to believe I can. My faith in myself is the key to abundant living. My faith leads me to believe in myself and in my ability to create the life of my dreams. I carry Jesus’ words and teachings in my heart. Whatever I put mind and heart to I can achieve, today and every day. 

Jesus said to him, “If you are able!—All things can be done for the one who believes.”—Mark 9:23

Let Go Let God Bless The Earth

I Bless The Earth With Love And Gratitude.

What a brilliant miracle this earth is. In a delicate, intricate balance, this beautiful, majestic planet sustains itself and all the life on it. I show my reverence by lovingly caring for my earth home. I take care to reduce my use of materials and resources, recycle what I can, and put items back into circulation instead of throwing them away. I bless my earth home with prayers of health and peace. I pray others around the world feel the same and join me in holding the health of our planet in prayer. I am grateful for this miraculous, marvelous planet I am blessed to call home. With love and gratitude, I commit to doing all I can to live gently upon the earth. 

You set the earth on its foundations, so that it shall never be shaken.—Psalm 104:5

Let Go Let God With Appreciation

I Appreciate The Good In My Life.

When someone admires my efforts or thanks me for something helpful I’ve done, I’m happy to know I have blessed them. Recognizing how good it feels to be appreciated, I remember to express my gratitude and appreciation to the people who have blessed me. I appreciate my friends and family by nurturing those relationships. I appreciate my community by being a responsible citizen. I appreciate the natural beauty of the world by caring for it and taking time to enjoy it. The people, the places, and the things I appreciate become more precious to me as I discover that each reflects God’s presence and God’s activity in a uniquely beautiful way. I am grateful to have so much to appreciate. 

Love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor.—Romans 12:10

Let Go Let God Practice Positivity

With Positive Expectation, I Welcome The Highest And Best Outcomes.

Unity minister and teacher Eric Butterworth taught that we don’t achieve or receive what we deserve or even what we pray for. We achieve or receive what we expect. Today I ask myself: What am I expecting? Through my honest inquiry, I can determine whether I am holding positive expectations. If I am not, I look within. I realize saying no can be as important a part of developing positive expectations as saying yes. I say no to thoughts of unworthiness or any kind of limitation, or when I recognize what I’m considering will not serve my highest good or be a blessing to others. Through my commitment to authentic and honest living, I am laying the groundwork for full and abundant living. I keep my thoughts positive and expect the best. 

Let your word be ‘Yes, Yes’ or ‘No, No.’—Matthew 5:37

Let Go Let God Provide Protection

God's Protection Is Always Mine.

There are bound to be times when divine protection feels elusive, but it is always with me. When the protecting presence of God feels far away, I shift my attention away from what may be troubling or scaring me and place it on the presence, power, and absolute goodness of God. In the prayerful stillness, I remind myself there is no place where God is not. In all circumstances, I am clothed in perfect love and spiritual safety. I trust Spirit is with me always. Divine protection helps me move through life feeling secure. It gives me the confidence to be fully present in the world, not shrinking from experience or feeling afraid to be fully myself. 

And you will have confidence, because there is hope; you will be protected and take your rest in safety.—Job 11:18

Let Go Let God Maintain Resilience

Like The Eagle, I Am Strong And  Resilient.

Although I am strong in mind, body, and soul, I still need to practice self-care to maintain my resilience. Even in a world of busyness and speed, I commit to relaxation, community, and spiritual practice. When I watch the graceful flight of an eagle, I am witnessing self-care and natural resilience. Eagles fly primarily by soaring. They conserve energy by holding their wings outward and relying on rising currents to lift them. They rarely need to flap their wings. Like the eagle, I conserve my energy and allow myself to be lifted upward. I soar on the wings of Spirit—I live as one with the holy presence of life and strength in me. 

But those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.—Isaiah 40:31

Let Go Let God Find Guidance

Every Step  Of The Way, I Am Guided By God.

Searching for spiritual guidance from books and teachers can be helpful, but a more direct route awaits me: I can bypass external sources and commune with God. Finding a quiet place, I take a few moments to relax into an awareness of the presence and power of God within and all around me. Perhaps I will discover my guidance through centering prayer, choosing a single word or short phrase to repeat as a meditation exercise. Meaningful words such as peace, light, joy, wholeness, and wisdom can help light my path and make my guidance clear. Whenever I need help discerning my next steps, my indwelling divine guidance makes clear my path. 

The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your needs in parched places, and make your bones strong.—Isaiah 58:11
