Let Go Let God Co-Create

With grace and gratitude, I am the designer of my life.

 

When I think about the story of my life, I recall ups and downs, successes and disappointments, and events in between. I keep in mind that through each experience, I am the storyteller. I am the designer of my life. How I respond to disappointment or success plays a role in future events. When I find myself questioning my purpose, I can dig deep and call upon my inner wisdom. These are opportunities to reflect and make new choices. As I explore my identity and let my true nature shine through, I write a new chapter in my life. I may create a new path or discover I like the one I’m on for now. Either way, I cocreate a story—my story—with God.

All must test their own work; then that work, rather than their neighbor’s work, will become a cause for pride.—Galatians 6:4

Let Go Let God through Healing Life

Through the healing energy of God, I am a new creation.

 

I am open to change—exploring new ideas or new ways of doing things. As I reflect on my physical being, I may decide to incorporate different life choices into my daily routine. I may choose to eat better, exercise more, and get more rest. There is also a nonphysical activity I can do to benefit my body—I can pray. In quiet times of prayer, I bring my awareness to the life of God within. This life gently, effortlessly flows throughout my being. Breathing deeply, I am aware of divine life radiating throughout every fiber of my being. I let go of any concerns about myself and open my mind only to positive thoughts. I give thanks for the renewal that is constantly taking place within me. I feel a healing surge of energy and vitality. I am a new creation.

Your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed.—Mark 5:34

Let Go Let God be Joyful

I am radiant, joyous, and free.

 

True happiness doesn’t come from anything outside of me. It bubbles up and spills over from a wellspring of gratitude and happiness within. Life may have challenges and situations that are beyond my control, but I will still find reasons to celebrate and choose to be joy-filled. I start by connecting with my heart. Taking a breath, I feel the cleansing activity of Spirit. I move into the space of joy, aware of my Source—the life within every cell of my body. Exhaling, I relax and release, taking a moment to allow the realization to land: God is all. There is nowhere God is not. The things of the world will pass, but Spirit will always be eternal. I am radiant, joyous, and free.

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart.—Psalm 32:11

Let Go Let God with Gratitude

I give thanks for all blessings—those received and those forthcoming.

 

Gratitude is a powerful spiritual tool. When I develop an attitude of gratitude, I proceed as if I have the answer I need, even during those times when the results are not yet visible. I give thanks for a healthy mind and body and take part in activities that support this idea. I am grateful for loving relationships and instinctively act in ways that promote positive communication. I give thanks for abundance, knowing that I am divinely and continuously provided for. I take time each day to reflect on the good things I’ve experienced. Knowing that gratitude produces gratitude, I give thanks for blessings large and small. I am inspired to look at everything with greater appreciation.

Thank you for having heard me. I knew that you always hear me.—John 11:41-42

Let Go Let God Seek Guidance

I have faith that I am divinely guided.

 

Today I consider the path that has brought me to this moment. Looking back at past situations, I now see that seemingly insurmountable obstacles held rich new opportunities to allow my Christ self to guide my every choice. Divine guidance is never withheld and is more rewarding than any scenarios my mortal mind may envision. Just as I encourage others to actively seek enlightenment from their inner source, I remind myself to do the same. Spiritual guidance is readily available to me—and to all creation—through a divine connection. Through Spirit within, my perspective changes and possibilities become reality. I have faith that I am divinely guided.

I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.—Psalm 32:8

Let Go Let God Choose Abundant Life

I choose to create and experience abundant life.

 

There is an adage that says, “You are as old as you think you are.” With my thoughts, I choose to maintain a youthful attitude and heart. My spirit is not defined by years or age. Divine life is limitless. It knows no lack of energy, inspiration, or health. Spirit, as me, is an expression of abundant life. I release any sense of limitations. My mind aligns with infinite potential to express love, joy, kindness, and service. With discernment, I choose activities that bring passion and purpose to my life. I may spend time in nature, join a team or club, or take a class for fun. If I am called to be of service to others, I explore opportunities with an open heart. I choose to create and experience abundant life.

My child ... let your heart keep my commandments; for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare they will give you.—Proverbs 3:1-2

Let Go Let God with Faith

Through the indwelling power of faith, I move forward with conviction.

 

By this time of year, my New Year’s goals, resolutions, or intentions may have fallen by the wayside. To gain clarity and to move toward fulfilling those goals and dreams, I take a moment to reflect on what it means to believe in something greater than my human self. Faith is an attitude of trust and confidence. To activate this spiritual quality, I gently breathe in and out, releasing any fears or concerns that I may have. I am unmoved by any limiting thought or condition, looking beyond any lack to experience freedom in my life. My intentions are clear and straightforward. Any fear dissipates, and I move ahead with confidence to claim my good.

My speech and my proclamation were not with plausible words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power.—1 Corinthians 2:4

Let Go Let God be Renewed

I am renewed in spirit, ready to begin again.

 

I am one with God. Holding steadfastly to the truth of my natural wholeness, I am renewed in body and mind. Becoming aware of my ability and power to change thoughts, perspectives, and habits is the beginning of a renewal process. I consciously observe my thought patterns and seek to reevaluate any beliefs contrary to my well-being and divine potential. I make a renewed commitment to self-care and to provide my body with adequate rest, nourishment, and encouragement. My whole being responds in kind. I begin to see myself in new, positive ways, fully expressing divine life within me. I am enthusiastic and uplifted in spirit. Just as new growth sprouts forth from trees after dormancy, I am renewed, ready to begin again.

Be transformed by the renewing of your minds.—Romans 12:2

Let Go Let God as a Pet Blessing

I bless all pets for the love and companionship they provide.

 

Pets are amazing companions. They are loyal friends and the embodiment of the spirit of love—gentle yet protective. Pets stand by their human companions—without judgment, filled with unconditional love. I take this moment now to acknowledge the pets in my life both present and past. I also bring to mind animals in the homes of my family and friends. With my thoughts I bestow a blessing on all pets. In deep gratitude I honor the many ways they serve human companions, such as friendship, comfort, and play. Their presence is a source of healing. The sounds of purrs, the wags of tails, and the chirps of song are evidence of divine life and love in expression.

So out of the ground the Lord God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the air.—Genesis 2:19

Let Go Let God in the Silence

I immerse myself in the loving, comforting awareness of Spirit.

 

Mother Teresa once said, “God is the friend of silence.” I feel my oneness with Spirit when I choose to spend time in the Silence. As I do this regularly, I experience an unmistakable sense of peace. I find clarity in all that I do. I forgive more easily. I open myself to new and profound inspiration. I live, however, in a world that is not completely quiet. In order to find silence in the midst of the everyday clamor of life, I take a moment to close my eyes and find an inner quiet and calm. It was there all along. I simply needed to remember. I can draw on this divine serenity at any time. I simply choose to release any concerns or anxiety. I immerse myself in the loving, comforting awareness of Spirit.

Be still, and know that I am God!—Psalm 46:10

Let Go Let God Experience Freedom

I work and live free in Spirit.

 

Watching children play, I may feel a flash of envy for their seemingly carefree fun. Being an adult comes with responsibilities and limitations. If I examine life from a perspective of spiritual consciousness, I discover a renewed sense of freedom. The work I do is not a burden but an opportunity to shine my light of peace and understanding wherever I am. Responsibilities I share with family and friends do not limit me; rather, they open the flow of divine love and compassion through me. Any challenge I experience in my body is a call to activate the powerful healing life innate in every cell. Each moment I choose the way I perceive my life. I experience freedom when I see my life as an expression of Spirit in the world.

For freedom Christ has set us free.—Galatians 5:1

Let Go Let God Believe

I believe.

 

The Gospels poignantly communicate a father’s pain and frustration when Jesus reminded him that all things are possible for one who believes. The father’s son suffered from a serious illness that no one, not even Jesus’ disciples, had been able to cure. “I believe; help my unbelief!” the father cried. His son was healed. My journey of faith may not always be straight and smooth. I may at times reach the limit of my human ability to believe. In those moments, I surrender to the divine presence within me. Affirming I believe opens my mind and heart to the faith expressed in the life and ministry of Jesus. Through divine presence—the Christ in me—I believe and find the answers to my prayer.

Immediately the father of the child cried out, “I believe; help my unbelief!”—Mark 9:24

Let Go Let God Pray for Others

I affirm right and perfect outcomes for all.

 

Through my faith and through prayer, I align with the activity of Spirit and connect with others spiritually. I release any doubts and affirm the highest and best for them. I envision their health, wholeness, peace, and prosperity. As my faith is coupled with my imagination, my affirmations are supercharged! In my mind’s eye, I envision my prayers being answered in ways both expected and unexpected. I imagine hearing from the person for whom I am praying, telling me that he or she received the perfect response. I release the need to determine what answered prayer might look like. I simply pray, give it all over to Spirit, then wait to be amazed. I believe in the power of prayer.

So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.—Mark 11:24

Let Go Let God as a Peacemaker

I live in peace with others, creating a peaceful world.

 

Prior to Jesus’ life and ministry, people believed they lived under the rule of a jealous, vengeful God. However, Jesus taught a radically different message of an all-loving, inclusive God. Some of his teachings included the importance of loving one’s enemies, not seeking revenge, and making peace with others. When I strive to follow these teachings and live in love, I am in alignment with divine principles. I am most effective as a peacemaker when I am centered in Spirit. I demonstrate peace in my life through my thoughts about and interactions with others. My thoughts and actions stem from love, and I create peaceful relationships. I center myself in love, I live in harmony with others, and I create a peaceful world.

Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble.—Psalm 119:165

Let Go Let God in Love

Divine love expresses in and through me.

 

Love unites us in perfect union with God and one another. Love is our inner quality that sees the good in everyone and in the world around us. Today I choose to focus on the power of love, to see it in myself and in others. With an outlook of love, I am uplifted in spirit and feel joy springing up within me. I am thankful for loved ones near and far, and I hold them close in mind and heart. I extend this love to radiate energy to the world, blessing all people, recognizing no boundaries, and seeing us united as one human family. Love is the energy that guides me to my highest good—the essence of life itself and a divine attribute. Divine love expresses in and through me.

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.—Galatians 5:22

Let Go Let God Provide Comfort

God’s presence within provides understanding and comfort.

Comfort is a state of mind and being that provides strength through any challenge or conflict. The word itself is combined from the Latin for “strong with,” and it is that strength that I respond to with gratitude and appreciation. The greatest feeling of comfort comes when I extend its peace to others. I am here to be, to know, to teach, and to share. I do those things and more when I provide comfort to those around me. If I find myself struggling with a challenge, I remember that the truth of God’s presence and love already exists in every situation. I have only to claim it to bring it forth. With faith I affirm: God’s presence within provides understanding and comfort.

Those of steadfast mind you keep in peace—in peace because they trust in you.—Isaiah 26:3

Let Go Let God Accept Divine Order

I experience the infinite power of divine order in all areas of my life.

 

It has been said that coincidence is the Divine choosing to remain anonymous. If I shrug off events as mere coincidence, I miss the opportunity to see the rich spiritual gifts they hold. When I recognize the presence of divine order throughout each day, every choice I make becomes a step in the creation of expanded consciousness. When I accept that the presence of divine order is actively at work, my life is easy and relaxed. I trust my inner guidance; there is no need to judge, nothing to fear. In divine order there are no wrong choices. There are simply opportunities to learn, grow, and create the kingdom one step at a time. I experience the infinite power of divine order in all areas of my life.

For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.—Jeremiah 29:11

Let Go Let God Set an Intention

My thoughts are the blueprint of my life.

 

Authors Richard and Mary-Alice Jafolla write in their book The Quest, “The entire universe is waiting for you to tell it what to do. Your thoughts are the blueprint from which it works.” For any change I want to make in my life, I set an intention. Knowing that my thoughts and words attract similar experiences, I keep them affirmative. To establish harmony, I hold thoughts of love. If I am seeking a new job, I keep thoughts of confidence and prosperity, knowing the right work awaits me. I speak words of life and abundance, knowing that they bless my body and my finances. I connect with the creative power of Spirit and affirm the right and perfect outcome will happen.

My purpose shall stand, and I will fulfill my intention.—Isaiah 46:10

Let Go Let God as a Spiritual Being

I begin each day dedicated to fulfilling my spiritual purpose.

 

Because I am a spiritual being, I am more than a physical body—my needs go beyond food and water. I find spiritual nourishment in prayer and meditation. Jesus knew the importance of realizing our inseparable relationship with the Divine and taught that God is a living presence within. Realizing the importance of this teaching, I now recognize that the more time I spend in prayer, the more I will experience a sense of oneness with God and with all creation. Any earthly challenges are transformed by the divine presence within. I release all concerns with the quiet realization—a gentle knowing—that the spiritual being I am is not limited in any way.

Then I said, “Here I am; in the scroll of the book it is written of me. I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.”—Psalm 40:7-8

Let Go Let God through Wholeness

Wholeness is my natural state of being.

 

Whenever I find my thoughts scattered or fragmented, I find refuge within. My heart is already whole, coherent, peaceful, and well. By centering my thoughts and feelings on my established center of wholeness, waves of love and light radiate outward into my mind, my world, and my affairs. I am already whole! In my heart of hearts, I know this to be true. All that is left for me to do is to center my thoughts and feelings, and the universal love of God does the rest. I am poised, grateful, and uplifted. I am joyous, free, and harmonious! My right outcomes are in perfect order, and I draw my good to me. Wholeness is my natural state of being.

May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound.—1 Thessalonians 5:23

Let Go Let God with Laughter

With joy comes hope and an attitude of abundance.

 

A giggle, a chuckle, a full belly chortle—all uplift the spirits. Even if for a moment, laughter can lift my mind and heart from a challenge. I experience a temporary reprieve. When my thoughts are no longer focused on perceived limitations, joy rushes in. Laughter is a medicine that transforms my thoughts from human limitation to spiritual wholeness. I am uplifted as I play dress up with a child, watch a favorite comedy, visit with friends, or observe squirrels scampering in the park. As my heart opens, I remember and feel the presence of Spirit right where I am. I claim my spiritual wholeness in all things. The more I laugh, the better I feel. With joy comes hope and an attitude of abundance.

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with shouts of joy.—Job 8:21

Let Go, Let God

With confidence and in faith, I let go and let God.

 

The power in committing something to prayer comes not when I make a request, but when I release my attachment to the outcome and accept what unfolds. What I’m seeing with my human understanding is just a small piece of the overall picture. The path I travel comes together like a divine puzzle; perfect pieces from expected and unexpected sources fall into place as I go. As I open to the energy of prayer, I relax into the awareness that I may not yet have every answer, every piece to complete the puzzle. I have faith that everything is in divine order and then release it all to my Source. I no longer try to dictate a specific solution and instead trust that each outcome is for the best. With confidence and in faith, I let go and let God.

Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.—Proverbs 16:3

Let Go Let God to Awakening

I acknowledge and respect the Divine in all things.

 

Viewing my surroundings, I ask myself; am I fully aware of the wonders that surround me? I may have fallen asleep to the Truth: All things are possible in the light of God. When I allow the dreamer within me to awaken, everything changes. Life becomes a vibrant, joyous journey, where even small things take on greater meaning. When I look at another person, I see the unique expression of the Divine they have come here to be. I feel the connections between every being that calls this planet home. I realize everything in the world of the senses is a divine idea in expression. Awakened to the Truth, I see divine light radiating around me, through me, and as me. I acknowledge and respect the Divine in all things.

For everything that becomes visible is light.—Ephesians 5:14

Let Go Let God Find Inner Peace

In the stillness I find peace.

 

Life is filled with responsibilities: work, family, personal goals, and more. Each of these is important, but there are times when I may feel my time and attention pulling in multiple directions. When this happens, I have a go-to activity that calms me and keeps me grounded: I spend time in the stillness. This doesn’t have to be a long time of meditation. It can simply be a few minutes of turning away from all of the outer distractions to breathe and relax. I find peace and strength in quiet moments of prayer. I take just a few moments to center my thoughts and enter an inner sanctuary of peace, letting all else slip away. During this time of rest and renewal, I find strength and peace beyond my human awareness. All is divine.

In quietness and in trust shall be your strength.—Isaiah 30:15

Let Go Let God at this Turning Point

In alignment with Spirit, I am guided to where I need to be.

 

When the tide turns in nature, the oceanic flow reverses direction and moves with a new rhythm. During any seeming turbulence or turmoil, I still my thoughts and feel the inner tide of my mind and mood shifting into a harmonious and beneficial current. I let go and know that I am one with an infinite plan for my life. I relax and trust that this moment is moving me toward greater good. What is past, is past. I now catch the new motion of this tidal shift and move with it. My movements—physical, mental, and spiritual—are poised, patient, and centered. I am moving ever onward with my life. In alignment with Spirit, I am guided to where I need to be.

Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord.—Malachi 3:7

Let Go Let God in Harmony

Divine love, wisdom, and understanding bring harmony to my world.

 

When I reflect on the various relationships in my life, what feelings come to mind and heart? Do I feel the joy of kinship with family members, of shared experiences and accomplishments with coworkers or within my community? What I bring to each relationship determines my experience and may even influence the experience of others. Even if there is friction or tension, I choose not to respond to any negative or insensitive comments. Instead, I view every relationship, every situation through the lens of my being a living expression of God. I am a harmonizing presence as I let God be God in me. I affirm: Divine love, wisdom, and understanding bring harmony to my world.

What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?—Micah 6:8

Let Go Let God Forgive

As I forgive, divine love flows through me, healing all pain and resentment.

 

I may believe that it is my right to withhold forgiveness; however, if I choose not to forgive, I am only hurting myself. Censure separates me from the constant flow of divine love. To forgive does not mean that I condone the actions that have caused me pain. I choose healing instead of pain, freedom instead of resentment. Forgiveness begins when my willingness to forgive restores my awareness of the flow of divine love. I remember that I am divine love in expression and make a conscious choice to be a nurturing presence to everyone and in every situation in my life. As I forgive, divine love flows through me, healing all pain and resentment.

They shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more.—Jeremiah 31:34

Let Go Let God Possibilities Abound

Possibilities abound because I am one with the Divine.

 

When I find myself wondering what my future may hold, am I filled with excitement or uncertainty? Fearful thoughts may cloud my mind and begin to influence my actions in unhealthy ways. I shift my attention to the enduring truth—in every moment I experience oneness in the presence of the Divine. I send myself a gentle reminder that I cannot be separate from the strength and wisdom of divine mind. I enthusiastically affirm: All things are possible! I have faith that the resources for all I need and desire are easily and readily available. My sense of serenity, immersed in the presence of the Divine, allows me to respond confidently to whatever happens. Possibilities abound because I am one with the Divine.

Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his presence continually.—1 Chronicles 16:11
