Let Go Let God Rest in Faith

I do the work that is mine to do, and then I rest in faith.

 

The Sabbath is not simply a regular day of the week. Charles Fillmore writes: “The Sabbath is kept any time we enter into spiritual consciousness and rest from thoughts of temporal things. Then we let go of the external observance of days, because every day is a Sabbath on which we retire into Spirit and worship God.” I honor the Sabbath by ensuring that I set aside regular time in the flow of my life to rest in the presence of the Divine. It’s an essential part of the creative process—I do the work that is mine to do, and then I rest in faith, allowing the Lord of my being to complete the process within me.

Then he said to them, “The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath; so the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.”—Mark 2:27-28

Let Go Let God from a Higher Perspective

My answers are revealed from a higher, spiritual perspective.

 

When I rise into spiritual understanding, I gain a different perspective. From a lower, limited viewpoint, it may seem I do not know how to solve a problem. But from a higher point of view, I can always see a way around it. I need to “come up higher.” Emmet Fox wrote that the solution to a difficult problem is to take my attention off of it and focus on God. Spirit is the solution to every problem. Releasing my concerns to my indwelling higher power affirms my oneness with God. As I refocus my awareness onto the Divine, I find that I overcome every problem harmoniously and effectively. My answers are revealed from a higher, spiritual perspective.

Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in.—Psalm 24:7

Let Go Let God Activate Grace

Grace flows to me and through me.

 

The grace of God matches my efforts to exercise my spiritual will. Just as benefactors or organizations match donations given on behalf of a worthy cause, my efforts are matched many times over by the spiritual resource that is infinite intelligence and compassion. Every step I take toward my divine source is met with a powerful response of spiritual resources that move in my direction. My focused intention for healing, guidance, harmony, and abundance activates grace. Unlimited and all-sustaining, grace flows to me and through me, filling me with hope and renewing my faith. As I do my part, my efforts are more than matched by the response of Spirit.

The God of all grace ... will himself restore, support, strengthen, and establish you.—1 Peter 5:10

Let Go Let God Visualize Healing

The light of God energizes and harmonizes every cell of my body.

I take this time to lift my consciousness into the higher realms of healing. I know that a higher thought, held with persistence, will always overcome a lesser idea. When I focus on my innate wholeness, I experience a dynamic influx of divine life and power. I rise into this healing light utilizing my creative visualization. Where there is a healing need, I visualize the light of God illuminating my body, energizing and harmonizing every cell. The divine pattern for perfection is now working in and through every function of my physical temple. My immune system is recharged and revitalized. Every system of my body aligns with the divine idea of wholeness. I am healed!

The faith that is through Jesus has given him this perfect health in the presence of all of you.—Acts 3:16

Let Go Let God Open to New Ideas

I am open to new ideas. New Insights are revealed to me. 

Each day presents me with opportunities to grow. My interactions with others, my response to whatever situation I encounter, can lead me to transformation and renewal as I approach them from a spiritual perspective. I increase my understanding as I contemplate the events of the day. Any situations that bothered me did so for a reason, and as I reflect on them, I open myself to deeper understanding. When I place myself on an observer level, I can step back and think objectively. I may be able to more fully understand another’s word or actions and find it easier to forgive. By doing so, I gain new revelations into my thinking processes and my spiritual nature. I grow spiritually, cultivating better relationships with others.

Shout aloud and sing for joy … for great in your midst is the Holy One.—Isaiah 12:6

Let Go Let God in Spiritual Evolution

I am continually evolving.

 

Part of growing older is growing wiser, and I continue to grow in awareness every day. I am not the same person today as I was 10 years ago. Some beliefs and understandings I held close at one time have evolved. Spiritual awareness requires that I see with new eyes. When I observe difficulties or loss, I look beyond these to the seeds of new possibilities. I hold to my faith that something greater can come from the challenges I face. Spiritual evolution may develop slowly over time as a dawning recognition, or it may be a flash of new understanding. I am continually evolving.

When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways.—1 Corinthians 13:11

Let Go Let God Breathe

Breath is my connection to Spirit.

 

In The Happiness Trap Pocketbook, authors Bev Aisbett and Dr. Russ Harris share, “Mindful breathing ... [is] an anchor, to hold you steady in the midst of an emotional storm.” Throughout the day I notice the rate of my breathing—rapidly when I exercise, or slow and deliberate when I am calm. When I close my eyes and breathe deeply and deliberately, I quiet my mind. I become more aware of my thoughts and my ability to direct them. I focus on attitudes and ideas that foster positive outcomes. As I inhale and exhale, I consider the blessings in my life and feel the richness of absolute gratitude. Steadied by a sense of oneness with Spirit, I breathe easily and gratefully.

When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”—John 20:22

Let Go Let God with Assurance

All things are possible through the ageless omnipotence of my sacred Self.

 

The apostle Paul frequently wrote of the pain and suffering he endured in the course of his missionary travels. He described his difficulties not as complaints, but to emphasize his certainty that the ultimate glory of Christ mind is infinitely greater than mortal limitations. “I consider that the sufferings of this present time,” he wrote in Romans 8:18, “are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us.” That same spiritual certainty moves me through my day. My intentions may not be revealed, my body and mind may seem intent on emphasizing obstacles and fears. Still, I move gratefully forward, knowing that nothing can affect the spiritual power that is my true identity.

I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us.—Romans 8:18

Let Go Let God Bless Life

I bless the life I have been given.

 

Every fiber of my being exudes a life force. There is a divine intelligence within me. If I cut my finger, I do not need to tell the various blood cells and platelets what to do to bring about healing. The brilliance of life accommodates and supports me in ways I cannot even imagine. Life is a gift. I give back by using my life to exhibit peace, love, joy, creativity, and support for all life. Each day I take a few moments to bless my physical body and my ability to make a positive difference in this world. I bless my spiritual awareness, knowing that my life is inner-directed. I bless all others with whom I am connected for their part in contributing to my life, as I seek to contribute to theirs.

For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.—Psalm 36:9

Let Go Let God Create World Peace

When I establish peace in my life, I create peace in the world.

 

Every time I exhibit patience and understanding rather than react to circumstances, I contribute to peace. I know that what I give my energy to only expands, so I choose to look for ways to express harmony in my immediate surroundings. If someone seems contentious, I do not automatically decide it is my responsibility to set them straight. Instead, I listen to what he or she says in order to understand his or her point of view. Even if I do not agree with that person, I have acted with respect and integrity. Everyone who has strong viewpoints also has reasons for their opinions. Only by seeking to understand another can I aid in bringing about peace. When I establish peace in my life, I create peace in the world.

In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!—John 16:33

Let Go Let God with Zeal

I have a zest for living, an enthusiasm for life!

 

My passion for life bubbles forth to uplift and enliven those around me. When I am filled with spiritual zeal, it shines forth from me as courage, determination, and purpose. I look forward to each new day with eager anticipation, knowing the spirit of God directs my course. There are no seeming mountains I cannot climb, no terrain I cannot traverse. As challenges come about, I decide to see them as opportunities to demonstrate the power of God in my life and in all that I do. I take care to share my spirit in ways that include and encourage others, while not overpowering them with my energy. I am motivated and invigorated to take positive steps toward being the best expression of God I can be.

Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord.—Romans 12:11

Let Go Let God Express Divine Order

Abiding in Christ consciousness, I become the light of the world!

 

Author Eric Butterworth shared the following thought: “Things may happen around you, and things may happen to you, but the only things that matter are the things that happen in you.” The internal unfolding of divine ideas never ceases. In prayer, I affirm divine order in every area of my life. I attune my awareness to the Christ, the image of God that lives at the center of my being. In Christ awareness, my mind is one with divine mind. Every expression of my mind, heart, and hands is under divine direction. Abiding in Christ consciousness, I become the light of the world!

This grace was given to me to bring to the Gentiles the news of the boundless riches of Christ.—Ephesians 3:8

Let Go Let God Willingly

Divine love and wisdom illumine and direct my will.

 

Will is my ability to make decisions and act on them. As I begin and end each day, I remind myself that I am much more than human. I am God’s image, heir to all that God is. In prayer, I align in thought and feeling with the divine presence, the Christ of my being. I pray affirming: Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. All sense of limitation dissolves into awareness of oneness with God. Human willfulness gives way to willingness as new possibilities for good are revealed. Divine love, wisdom, and understanding illumine and direct my will.

Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.—Matthew 6:10

Let Go Let God through Understanding

The truth of my being is revealed through spiritual understanding.

 

Confidence in living is a natural result of spiritual understanding, from knowing a deeper connection with God. In each decision I make throughout the day, I trust my inner wisdom because I understand this oneness—my alignment with divine guidance. My understanding expands to encompass others. The same spiritual connection I experience is one that they, too, have available. If I am concerned about loved ones, I keep them in my heart through thought and prayer, affirming they are guided as well. I understand and trust that the wisdom of God is limitless; it is the true source of inspiration and insight.

I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.—Matthew 16:19

Let Go Let God Imagine

I imagine new and positive possibilities for my life.

 

Hebrew scriptures share this reminder, “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” When I imagine the unlimited possibilities available to me, I also consider the words Jesus shared, “Whoever ... does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.” Imagination in my consciousness triggers ideas; but it is through the loving energy of my heart that what I imagine becomes part of my life experience. Imagination continually opens doors of new possibilities, transforming today’s vision into tomorrow’s adventure. My heart-centered belief in my oneness with the divine power of creation ensures that my life will grow and expand in beautiful ways.

Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.—Proverbs 4:23

Let Go Let God Energize

I affirm wholeness and strength, and I am rejuvenated and restored.

 

When I am exercising, my body sends reminders when I need to drink water and rest to stay balanced. That balance is also essential for mental energy and endurance as well. Within me lies a spiritual reservoir of life and energy that I can tap in to at any time. There, I find my center, find my peace, and discover divine wisdom to remain spiritually balanced. There, in the life of God, I am quickened and renewed. There, I find wholeness and strength. I meditate on my oneness with the Divine, affirming wholeness and strength. I am rejuvenated, restored, and energized.

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 Be Divine Love

I am a channel through which divine love flows.

 

In any of my relationships, it serves me well to remember that the love I am experiencing on a human level is not the same as in the spiritual realm. Love on a human level can be fleeting, while divine love is unconditional, eternal. Whether or not someone believes in it or calls upon it, divine love continues to be. Winifred Wilkinson Hausmann wrote, “It is love that looks past appearances to behold the Truth of being. It is love that enables us to live in harmony with all our universe. It is love that heals, prospers, attracts, holds, and makes real the good ideas. And divine love is the greatest power for protection in the universe.” Knowing that God’s spirit of love is part of who I am gives me a sense of spiritual purpose with everything I do.

Love is patient; love is kind.—1 Corinthians 13:4

Let Go Let God Find Wisdom

I look for meaning by turning within to divine wisdom.

 

My search for right answers will bring me to one place—the presence of the Most High, the kingdom of God in my life. There I find the wisdom I need to make any decision—significant or trivial. Spirit within guides me to the understanding I seek and the courage I need. I create my path, looking for guidance and meaning along the journey. Faith enables me to see the underlying blessings and to anticipate the best outcome in every concern. When I place my trust in the indwelling presence of God, I am one with infinite wisdom. My soul is at peace in the presence of God. I look for meaning by turning within to divine wisdom.

Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. And while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white.—Luke 9:28-29

Let Go Let God Rediscover Strength

Through prayer and inner reflection, I find strength.

 

Responsibilities to family, employers, and community are an everyday part of life. But there is more to life than outer world situations. I have a responsibility to myself—to rest when needed, to take time to connect with Spirit to recharge, and to develop my spiritual awareness. When I find strength through peace, I then reflect it outward to meet any responsibilities or obligations effectively. I take time to rest and be at peace, allowing the Divine to still my thoughts. I take time to reflect and reconnect through prayer every day. My life becomes more focused. Closing my eyes and tuning out the outer chatter allows me to rediscover the strength, courage, and wisdom that are mine.

Do not, therefore, abandon that confidence of yours; it brings a great reward.—Hebrews 10:35

Let Go Let God Live in Faith

I know that through God, all things are possible.

 

Whenever I am facing a challenge or personal crisis, I need only turn within to my inner Source to pray. My faith in a higher power gives me the courage to overcome any obstacle in my human experience. Through faith, I know that I am a spiritual being, a child of God. Miracles can happen—not only to me but through me. I understand that faith is so much more than merely believing in something up there, out there, or a God outside of myself. Faith is a deep, inner knowing that the Christ in me is my hope of glory. Through faith, I know that I can make a difference in this world. I live confidently, knowing that through God, all things are possible.

But ask in faith, never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.—James 1:6

Let Go Let God Honor Identity

I recognize and honor the spiritual identity in all people.

Children are asked what they want to be or do as adults. Whether or not I fulfilled the expectation I had of myself as a child, I can now recognize that, with everything I do, I can make a difference in the world by living life with integrity and being true to my spiritual identity. When I see someone in need, I consider how I can help. Perhaps my role is to pray in a spirit of love, holding the high watch for someone who may not otherwise recognize his or her spiritual identity. I rely on the love of God within to guide my actions, to form my words, and to strengthen my resolve to be of service to others in the highest way possible. An awareness of my spiritual identity helps me act in caring ways—always radiating compassion and kindness in all that I say and do.

God said to Moses, “I am who I am.”—Exodus 3:14

Let Go Let God with Insight

I see my life clearly.

 

The apostle Paul saw clearly and taught regularly that coming into Christ consciousness transforms our view of everything, asking, “Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?” No matter how today’s events may unfold, I am never overwhelmed. As I deepen my connection to the Christ mind within, I see beyond worldly appearances to the spiritual Truth that underlies everything. My spiritual journey begins with my awareness of the divine power that is God. Infinite divine love is so vast, so unimaginable to my human mind, that I am in awe of its power within me. I see my life clearly.

What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him.—1 Corinthians 2:9

Let Go Let God Release

I release concerns and affirm perfect order, perfect peace.

 

Every moment holds within it the opportunity to transform my life. I quiet my mind and consciously detach from the whirl and rush of hurried activity at work or at home. Instead, I center my awareness on peace. In peaceful stillness, I breathe slowly and evenly. With ease and grace, I inhale divine love, leaving no room for tension or fear. I turn my attention toward letting go of any attachments to outcomes or deadlines, any stress or worry. Whatever had been at the forefront of my concerns I now push out of my mind—releasing all to Spirit. I fill the space left behind with positive, productive, faith-filled thoughts. I release concerns and affirm perfect order, perfect peace.

When you are disturbed, do not sin; ponder it on your beds, and be silent.—Psalm 4:4

Let Go Let God as Compassion

I radiate kindness and compassion to the world.

 

Sharing love with others is a commitment I make over and over each day. Even though others may not always treat me with kindness or respect, I cultivate kindness through the way I respond. My thoughts, words, and deeds create a bountiful garden filled with color and beauty. I not only plant seeds of kindness, I provide nourishment through positive attention, allowing them to flourish. When others are impatient with me, or if I find myself falsely accused, I remain calm and centered. I open my heart to the love of God that transcends events or emotions. The way I respond to people or circumstances in life is my responsibility, and above all else I choose kindness.

Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.”—Luke 23:34

Let Go Let God Affirm

I celebrate the inexhaustible power of Spirit.

 

I rejoice in this fundamental principle of life: There is only one power and one presence active in the Universe. This divine power is invisible and invincible. It expresses in, through, and as me. It operates unfailingly in service to the highest good of all. Faithfully affirming such spiritual truths does not mean ignoring everyday life circumstances. Instead, I am able to fully reflect on and contemplate the facts of any situation without feeling defeated or resigned. No matter how vast a challenge might appear, I know that, in reality, absolutely nothing is outside the all-loving power and presence of Spirit. In this awareness, I am empowered to meet life with boundless hope and compassion. I celebrate the inexhaustible power of Spirit.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power.—Ephesians 6:10

Let Go Let God Follow the Heart

I am willing to follow my heart.

 

Following my heart may not always be easy. I might feel influenced by other people’s needs and expectations. Perhaps I am discouraged about my progress toward meeting my goals and fulfilling my dreams. Whenever my life feels daunting, it is important to remember that God is love. Because of this, I am equipped to handle any situation. When I embrace this truth, any shadows of fear and regret fall behind me. I do not need to strain or struggle to make my way. I need only to trust the wisdom of my indwelling Christ spirit. As I surrender my ego’s need for control and certainty, life becomes more comfortable. I joyfully live my soul’s truth as it is revealed to me each moment of every day. I am willing to follow my heart.

Commit your way to the Lord.—Psalm 37:5

Let Go Let God in Relationships

I express peace, joy, and love in my relationships.

 

Love is the only power in the universe. As the unconditional, free flow of divine love surrounds, comforts, fulfills, and sustains me, I know that I am loved, now and always. All people are spiritual beings, created in the image and likeness of divine love. Whether or not we are aware of it, our very nature is love. I love myself, just as I am, for there is no one in the world exactly like me. I am unique, spiritually whole, perfect, and complete. I love all that I am, for all that I am is spiritual substance. Today I pause and remember the words of Jesus, “You are the light of the world.” From that root awareness, I lovingly allow the light in me to shine for all. Kindness comes naturally to me and flows effortlessly through me. I express my highest and best self.

You are the light of the world.—Matthew 5:14

Let Go Let God Declare Intentions

I boldly declare my intentions and live confidently!

 

Whatever my intentions may be—healing, prosperity, employment, peace, or more—I am grateful that the future I desire is in the process of manifesting. The power to choose my thoughts is freedom. When I focus on keeping them positive, then power, substance, and form are imbued into them. I am ever mindful of the thought seeds I plant in the garden of my mind. I free myself today from any thought of lack or limitation, and I boldly set the intention to live abundantly—confident in the wisdom I receive through prayer. My life experience is transforming—right here, right now! I boldly declare my intentions and live confidently!

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.—Psalm 37:4

Let Go Let God as Wholeness

I am a whole and healthy expression of Spirit.

 

Appearances are temporary impressions and not an accurate picture of who I am. If I am facing a health challenge, I bless my body for the restorative powers that have their source within me in the life of God. Despite any outer appearances, wholeness and strength of mind are the truth of me. I am a product of divine life, and I connect with this spiritual essence through prayer and meditation. In moments of quiet reflection, I turn within to this inner wellspring of healing and feel the energizing flow of God’s perfect life in and through my body. This life is continually flowing, bringing health and healing to every part of my being. My heart beats with the rhythm and harmony of God; my cells vibrate with the energy of life.

Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly.—Isaiah 58:8

Let Go Let God Lead a Life of Purpose

With faith and perseverance, I lead a life of purpose!

 

I am a child of God, filled with limitless divine potential. I have the power of Spirit within and the ability to make a lasting difference in the world. I begin my day with prayer and meditation. I am lovingly supported by the one presence and power that breathes life into my being. Great things are unfolding, new energy is stirring in my soul, and I am ever grateful. I joyously demonstrate my spiritual wholeness through my work and other daily activities. I welcome a spirit of play—a childlike wonder, curiosity, and delight—in all that I do. The miracle of divine life now guides and directs my body, mind, and spirit, and nothing can keep me from finding and living my purpose!

The human mind may devise many plans, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established.—Proverbs 19:21

Let Go Let God See with Clarity

Refreshed, renewed, and enlightened through prayer, I now see with clarity.

 

Prayer is a tool I can draw upon to transform my perception of events and other circumstances that are beyond my control—to see with fresh eyes, with a heightened awareness, and crystal clarity. I am not a product of my circumstances—I am a living expression of God. The challenges of the world can be overcome, and it begins with a shift in consciousness. I now let this dynamic shift take place within me. Taking time to turn within to the inner reservoir of my soul gives me comfort and hope. Refreshed, renewed, and enlightened through prayer, I now see with clarity.

It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me.—Galatians 2:20
