Let Go Let God be Healed

The power of divine life restores me to wholeness.

 

John’s Gospel tells the story of Jesus’ healing encounter at the pool of Bethesda with a man who had been ill for 38 years. People believed that at certain times after an angel stirred the waters of the pool, the first person to enter the water would be healed. When Jesus asked the man if he wanted to be made well, the man explained that he had no one to help him to the pool when the water was stirred up. Hearing Jesus say, “Stand up, take your mat and walk,” the man shifted his belief in his limitation and freed himself. His faith in the power of divine life was quickened and he was restored to wholeness. Like the man at the pool, I let go of all belief in illness. I experience new vitality. The power of divine life restores me to wholeness.

Jesus said to him, “Stand up, take your mat and walk.”—John 5:8

Let Go Let God Bless Caregivers

I bless all caregivers in my thoughts and prayers.

 

Author and minister Ernest Wilson once wrote, “The greatest power in the world, the power of God, is aptly described by the phrase ‘power to give.’” Those people who have chosen to give of their time and attention to benefit others have discovered the power to give. I appreciate the caregivers of the world, whether it was choice or circumstances that led them to the role. Committing to live from a place of caring and compassion for another being is a sacred act, and surely just as they are being a blessing, they are blessed in return. God’s presence moves in and through each caregiver as love, understanding, and wisdom. I bless all caregivers in my thoughts and prayers.

But we were gentle among you, like a nurse tenderly caring for her own children.—1 Thessalonians 2:7

Let Go Let God Comfort

God is my comfort and strength.

 

When I feel in need of comfort, I pray. In the Silence, I am enfolded in the warm, loving presence of Spirit. It touches my heart, reminding me that I am never alone. I keep in mind my true nature by reaching inside and tapping in to this source of comforting love. If I feel discouraged or hurt, I look to the Spirit within me and find relief and reassurance. God is always present to support me. I am filled with a sense of well-being. I let go of whatever is causing me sadness. With calmness and peace, I move forward. The healing love of God soothes and comforts me. I center myself in the divine presence, knowing that I am never truly without support. Resting in this spiritual presence, all is well.

Comfort your hearts and strengthen them in every good work and word.—2 Thessalonians 2:17

Let Go Let God Seek Guidance

I trust the spiritual guidance I receive from within.

 

If I seek advice from others, I may be left without a clear sense of which path or action to take. While it can be helpful to gain perspective from someone else’s viewpoint, I remember that I have an innate connection to God—the source of all wisdom. I can turn to God for guidance, and I can trust the impression I receive. When I am struggling to determine a solution or a plan, I take a moment to seek divine guidance. I stop thinking about the problem and focus my attention inward. Through prayer and meditation, I move beyond the activity of my thoughts to a place of stillness. In quiet communion with God, I am able and ready to receive the guidance that I am seeking.

When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth.—John 16:13

Let Go Let God Find Harmony

As I realign my thoughts with Spirit, I find harmony and balance.

 

The word balance is often used regarding harmony. Each day I am met with opportunities that require balance. I may be balancing work and family life as well as my time and interests. At times, I may feel that things are out of order, that I cannot achieve the balance and harmony I want to experience. In these moments, I stop and pray. I take a deep breath and breathe in the peace of God. I feel my body relaxing, my heartbeat slowing. I feel calm and quiet rather than hurried or anxious. I rest for a moment in this space, breathing in and out steadily and peacefully. This is the balance I am seeking right now. I repeat this exercise anytime that I feel the need for harmony and balance in mind, body, and spirit.

Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.—Genesis 18:4

Let Go Let God as a Voice of Reason

I am a voice of reason, a source of peace.

 

I am blessed with an incredible ability to be a voice of reason. Someone may say or do something that upsets me, but I remember that I, too, could have said or done something to offend a person. If I focus on blame or regret, I can expect to feel the downward pull of resentment. A more valiant choice for me is to show love and understanding through forgiveness. I turn within for guidance on the best way to react to a situation. I listen to my Source then share that knowledge by being a loving voice to calm any storm. I am one of God’s creations and because I am, I know that I have a sacred role to fill in a divine plan. I am accepting, compassionate, and forgiving. I am a voice of reason, a source of peace.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments.—Psalm 119:66

Let Go Let God be Creative

My mind is rich with divine ideas.

 

I am a child of God, ever-linked with the Divine. There may be a book in me, a song, a manicured garden, or perhaps I may be inspired to teach others. The creative process is active in me, and I am an open, receptive, and dynamic channel for its expression. I welcome the journey of discovery. There are many ways to express myself, and they begin within my mind. I am blessed with a beautiful mind and the power of creative thought. The field of ideas from which I harvest my creativity is infinite and boundless, for God is my source and supply. My mind is my prosperity. I flourish through this realization, and I am grateful for God in my life and as my life. My mind is rich with divine ideas.

Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.—Luke 12:32

Let Go Let God on this Spiritual Journey

I continue my spiritual journey, one with Spirit.

 

My life is a spiritual journey that began long before my birth. I am on an eternal, spiritual journey that leads me ever more deeply into an awareness of God’s presence, awareness of oneness. Even when I have not been seeking, God has always been there. The psalmist asks, “Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence?” No matter how far I have thought I strayed, a renewed awareness of God has always been as near as my next thought. When I have felt stuck or even lost on my spiritual journey, many times the thought of God has helped me find my way again. As I continue my spiritual journey, I go with God, for wherever I am, God is!

Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence?—Psalm 139:7

Let Go Let God Affirm Divine Order

Divine order is actively at work in my life.

 

Delays when traveling may try my patience. A last-minute change of plans may have me rushing around. Perhaps someone or something I was relying upon didn’t follow through. Whatever the situation, rather than stressing, I open myself to a higher understanding. Divine order will prevail. I trust in divine order, even though I cannot always see it from my vantage point. In her book Christ Enthroned in Man, Cora Fillmore wrote, “The law of divine order and harmony is satisfied in me, and I behold myself a tower of spiritual strength and stability.” Everything is in divine order, from the movement of galaxies to the tiniest particle of an atom. I trust in God. I faithfully affirm: Divine order is actively at work in my life.

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.—Ecclesiastes 3:1

Let Go Let God in Mind, Body, & Spirit

My mind, body, and spirit work together in harmony.

 

To live my best life, all aspects of myself must work together—mind, body, and spirit. Each element has its unique purposes and qualities but functions optimally when it works in harmony with the others. I strive to maintain a balance between these parts and nurture them all equally. With daily obligations, I may sometimes spend too much time in my head. When I pay attention only to my mind, my perspective becomes limited and I am more likely to experience negative feelings. Likewise, if I get stuck in my spiritual self, I may have difficulty navigating the details of my life. Instead, I nurture and use each part of my self equally. I achieve balance as mind, body, and spirit work together in harmony to achieve wholeness.

Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish ... the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples.—John 21:13,14

Let Go Let God Create Prosperity

God is our source.

 

We live in an abundant universe. Here universal laws exist to guide us as we work to accomplish our spiritual purpose while, at the same time, living our mortal lives. The Lord of our being—the Christ presence that is our true identity—is always available to guide us through the challenges and choices we face. If we align ourselves with that energy and choose according to those universal laws, not only will our lives be rewarding and joyful, but we will be creating the higher consciousness that Jesus calls “the kingdom of heaven.” It’s a promise and awareness we can and will be fully prepared to receive.

The Lord will open for you his rich storehouse, the heavens, to give the rain of your land in its season and to bless all your undertakings.—Deuteronomy 28:12

Let Go, Let God

I let go in faith.

 

Sometimes it can feel as if the weight of the world is on my shoulders. Whenever I think that way, I remind myself that I am never alone. God is within me, and I am within God. Instead of holding tight to my worries, I affirm divine order is at work, and I loosen my grip. I allow my faith to be bigger than my challenges as I take practical steps that enable me to breathe, trust, and release. Taking a deep breath, I breathe in unlimited possibilities. I allow that feeling of infinite potential to fill my body, knowing every solution is mine within God. Though I may not see all the answers right now, they are there. I feel hope, and I am comforted. I allow myself to relax into knowing that within God, all things are possible. I let go, within God!

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me.—Psalm 23:4

Let Go Let God in a State of Consciousness

I envision and affirm peace within myself and throughout the world.

 

At challenging times, I turn to Matthew for the reassuring words Jesus shared with his disciples, “For God, all things are possible.” There is only one presence and one power in the Universe—God, Omnipotence. Jesus spoke to his disciples about the kingdom of heaven—not a geographical location but a state of consciousness. I enter a heavenly consciousness when I quiet my mind, let go of any attachment to appearances, and concentrate on Spirit within. I deny the permanence of situations and the power of conditions over me, and I practice the presence of God. In doing this, I experience peace. Through an unwavering faith, I know that peace in the world begins with me.

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

Let Go Let God Pray for Others

I spread love through my thoughts, prayers, and actions.

 

Prayer is more than words and rituals. It is an action, a way of reaching out in love to help, support, and encourage others. Mother Teresa, in her infinite grace and wisdom, advised others, “Spread love wherever you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.” She was an example of prayer in action. As I go about my day, I bless others. Each time I smile, lend a listening ear, or simply tell someone to have a good day, I am spreading love. These small acts of kindness are examples of prayer in action, ways of reaching out to others in a way that, hopefully, helps them feel happier in that moment. Whether I bless one person or many, I am an example of prayer in action as I reach out in love.

Let all that you do be done in love.—1 Corinthians 16:14

Let Go Let God Bless Fathers

I honor all father figures in my prayers.

 

Today is an opportunity to recognize and honor the fatherly influences in my life, whether their role is a parent, mentor, teacher, or coach. Their encouragement and guidance gave me the gift of believing in myself. My prayers also include fathers and stepfathers who are new to the role, learning the importance, dedication, and patience it takes. I bless the role models who are helping to build life skills and live by example. Whether changing a diaper, telling a story, attending school functions, or teaching how to ride a bike, at the heart of all that matters is love. God’s presence is active in their lives. I pray they live in this awareness and enjoy the experience of watching children discover who they are and what they are capable of achieving.

I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you.—Isaiah 41:10

Let Go Let God be Joyful

I am an expression of joy.

 

The Scottish novelist Robert Louis Stevenson is credited with writing, “Find out where joy resides, and give it a voice far beyond singing. For to miss the joy is to miss all.” To have a state of joy throughout the day, I make myself a conduit for it to move through as I share it freely. I journey in a new consciousness of life. This day is a time of new beginnings, and I apply my energies effectively and constructively to make this the best day of my life. I give voice and action to joy as I allow God’s presence to work in and through me. I know a happiness and satisfaction that cannot be diminished by circumstances. I am an expression of joy.

For the Lord will comfort Zion … joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the voice of song.—Isaiah 51:3

Let Go Let God through Clarity

Through Spirit within, my mind is clear.

 

If my thoughts are muddled, I know it is time to go within and seek the clarity of the divine presence. In the stillness, the clouds disappear. I can think once again with spiritual vision. When my mind and heart are centered in God, outer matters don’t distract me. I know that I am always divinely guided. Trusting in this truth helps me to know that my life is in perfect order. I think, act, and speak with clarity. I spend time each day in prayer and meditation, pausing to refocus my mind. As a divine being, there is nothing that can disturb the peace of my soul. I give thanks that my thoughts, words, and actions are guided by Spirit within.

My mouth shall speak wisdom; the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.—Psalm 49:3

Let Go Let God Shine Compassion

I shine the light of love from my heart to others.

 

One of Jesus’ greatest teachings was compassion. He demonstrated compassion when he fed the crowds who followed him, in his treatment of the fallen woman, and his many acts of healing. I strive to follow these examples each day. When I see someone who is struggling, I lend a helping hand. I choose to express love. I choose to be a light in the world. My expressions of empathy and kindness come from my divine powers of understanding and love. As I attune to these qualities within and let them flow from my mind and heart, I see beyond differences. I let my true Self reflect the expression of love that I am. I shine the light of love from my heart to others.

Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes. Immediately they regained their sight and followed him.—Matthew 20:34

Let Go Let God with Faith

My life is unfolding in orderly ways.

 

I am in awe as I ponder the divinity that lives within me and expresses as me. I may refer to my divine nature as my inner spiritual being, my higher power, God, or Source. In whatever way I choose to identify this power, I know there is a divine blueprint within that contains the spiritual qualities needed to live a fulfilling life of joy, love, peace, abundance, and well-being. I have great faith that my inner spiritual nature will continue to unfold. I live my life confidently, knowing I am blessed as I grow into all I was meant to be. My life is unfolding in orderly ways.

Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you?—2 Corinthians 13:5

Let Go Let God be Inner Peace

Nothing can disturb the peace of my soul.

 

Peace is a quality that resides in my spirit always. I tap in to peace as I align my thoughts with God within. My divine nature is peace. If circumstances in my life seem to be out of order, if someone I love is facing a difficult situation, I call upon my power of peace to calm my emotions and remain centered in faith. I take time to connect with the peace of my being regularly. As I turn within, I allow my breathing to slow. I center myself in the present moment. Nothing else in this moment matters. I am calm and peaceful. Taking a few quiet moments during the day keeps me centered and allows me to function in grace, even in the most trying circumstances. Nothing can disturb the peace of my soul.

Whatever house you enter, first say, “Peace to this house!”—Luke 10:5

Let Go Let God be Resilient

I am an infinite expression of life. I am whole and well.

 

When a plant goes through a dry period, it grows stronger because it can no longer rely on surface moisture. It has to go deep. So do I. When difficulties cause me to reach toward a deeper level of my being, I experience a stronger sense of my capacity for growth and change. During these dry periods that seem to test my inner resources, I am encouraged to stretch and extend the roots of my soul to a deeper level. There are no situations in my life that define me. I stand in my spiritual identity and honor that part of myself. No one can take away my essential, spiritual self from me. I bounce back from any adversity with ease and grace. I am resilient!

When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets.”—Luke 5:4

Let Go Let God Celebrate

I live each day in celebration for this sacred gift of life.

 

I give thanks that I am spiritually centered so that whatever I do, I am consciously aware of God. Every part of my mind, body, and spirit joins in this celebration of wonder. Divine life flows through me now in unlimited measure. This life renews, revitalizes, restores, and perfects me. I am wholly and vibrantly alive—aglow with pure, dynamic life. I greet the day with eager anticipation. God’s presence ensures that the fantastic and unexpected are a normal part of my being. I am ever-evolving through the gifts of Spirit. Each moment is an opportunity to strengthen my faith, courage, joy, wisdom, happiness, and love. I live each day in celebration for this precious gift of life.

You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures forevermore.—Psalm 16:11

Let Go Let God Accept

Divine action moves in and through every situation in my life.

 

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote, “The best thing one can do when it is raining is let it rain.” Spiritual acceptance is the art of letting things be. Even if I wish to change things, I can do so from a position of patience and strength. Although conditions may not be exactly what I want them to be, they are what they are. Once I accept this, I am lifted into a place where I can see with a clear vision and act with a compassionate heart. Knowing that all things are working together for good, I move with things just as they are and cooperate with the opportunities as they unfold. The power of God is moving in and through every situation in my life, and I am moving with it!

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me.—John 14:1

Let Go Let God with Courage

I am strong and courageous. I can do all that is mine to do!

 

There are bound to be times in my life where I am called to be courageous. That doesn’t mean I won’t be afraid; it means anytime I am afraid, I will meet that fear with faith. I pause, take a deep breath, connect with the Source energy inside me, and claim my strength. I take this moment to remember and affirm: God is everywhere present, in everything that exists. I affirm: Fear has no power over me. I am strong and courageous, and I can do all that is mine to do. Breathing slowly and deliberately while repeating these statements, I move through my fear—breath by breath, step by step.

Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.—Joshua 1:9

Let Go Let God Forgive

I let go and allow true forgiveness to flow through me.

 

How often do I forgive something only to remember it later and have another emotional reaction? True forgiveness means letting go completely as many times as necessary. This does not mean that I choose who is forgivable and who is not. When Peter asked Jesus if he should forgive someone as many as seven times, Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven times.” Each act or choice can have spiritual consequence when approached with the right consciousness. Holding on to past hurts eats me up inside and keeps me from my good. Forgiveness heals. It gives me the freedom to move forward with love and joy.

What I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ.—2 Corinthians 2:10

Let Go Let God Bless the Earth

With love and appreciation, I do my part to care for the planet.

 

There is a Native American proverb that says: “Treat the earth well. We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.” Today I bless the earth with this thought in mind. With gratitude for all who have come before me, I strive to leave a small footprint for those who come after me. I bless the elements—earth, water, air, and fire—and give thanks for their creative energy. I affirm that my words, my thoughts, my actions are in harmony with the living energy of the earth. Attuned to God within, I see the Divine in all. I envision every person on the planet acting in wisdom and love to bless and preserve our planet.

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”—Matthew 28:18

Let Go Let God Bless All Creatures

I give thanks for all God’s creatures.

 

I share this planet with countless animals. Some I share my life with, such as beloved cats or dogs, while others are found living independently in the wild. Still, we share a universal bond of oneness as we breathe the same air and experience life at the same time. I am amazed and grateful for all God’s creatures. It is astounding to remember that they were each and all created by God. Each one has been imbued with life with which to express itself fully. I bless the animals of the earth and strive to care for and nurture each one. The world would not be complete without each of God’s creatures. They help to make this world the diverse place that it is.

O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.—Psalm 104:24

Let Go Let God in Healing Meditation

I am an infinite expression of life. I am whole and well.

 

Taking time to rest my mind renews my sense of self. This is my healing meditation. Quieting my thoughts, I let all outward things slip away. I become aware of my breath, the rhythm of my heartbeat. I breathe in the breath of God, pure life energy. I relax knowing this energy flows throughout my body, pumped by the perfect beat of my heart, infusing each cell with new vitality. In this relaxed, heightened awareness, I affirm that every cell of my body is an expression of divine life, functioning in perfect order. Sitting with this truth for a few moments, I know that all is well in my mind and body. Before I return to my day, I give thanks that I am a divine creation, an expression of life itself. And so it is.

Go; let it be done for you according to your faith.—Matthew 8:13

Let Go Let God Appreciate Diversity

I appreciate the vastness and diversity in the world.

 

As I walk through a garden blooming with spring flowers, I delight in the symphony of colors and fragrances. When I pause and look more closely, I see that no two blossoms are identical. I appreciate both the exquisite beauty of the garden and the unique contribution that each blossom offers. In the beautiful diversity of colors, shapes, and fragrances, I experience the beauty of God. As I grow in spiritual awareness, I recognize that the human family, even more magnificent than a spring garden, reflects the beauty and the glory of God. Each racial, cultural, and spiritual group within the human family adds richness to the human experience. Each person expresses the beauty of God in a unique way.

God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good.—Genesis 1:31

Let Go Let God Trust

I trust in my higher power.

 

Trust is a valuable asset, an inherent trait we had as children that may have waned over the years through personal experiences. Still, at all times I can trust in my higher power. Mary L. Kupferle wrote, “Repeat the words: I trust the Spirit within, then let go ... Use the wonderful tools of your mind and heart positively and constructively and stay with the affirmative attitude of trusting the Spirit within until you begin to feel an inner response. It will come.” I open my heart and mind to Spirit. I am confident that I have the time, energy, and support I need to do whatever I am called upon to do this day. Life will provide me exactly what I need as I grow in spiritual awareness.

But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.—Romans 8:25
