Let Go Let God all is in Divine Order

I am in the Flow of Divine Order. 

Richard and Mary-Alice Jafolla wrote in The Quest, “We must always be aware that there is a higher, broader plan of perfect divine order.” We cannot fully understand this plan, but it is enough to know it exists and that all life—no matter what the appearance—seeks to establish divine order. I free myself by becoming more aware of God’s loving presence within me. I learn to quiet my restless mind and settle in to peaceful inner attentiveness. Concerns about how situations will work out subside, leaving me open as infinite intelligence works through me. My part is to hold the faith, be receptive, remove distractions, and step confidently into the constant stream of wisdom and order that flows from God.

But test everything; hold fast to what is good.—1 Thessalonians 5:2

Let Go Let God Discover

I am Open to Infinite Discoveries. 

My eyes, my mind, and my heart are open to every new opportunity for discovery that comes my way. I flow easily and effortlessly from one experience to another with childlike awe. When I choose to see with fresh eyes, from a renewed perspective, I discover something within myself as I travel to new places and meet new people.In my spiritual life, my ongoing journey of self-discovery brings me to the edge of new frontiers in my consciousness. The time I spend in prayerful contemplation quiets my mind and allows me to touch newfound depths of stillness within. Peace permeates my body and mind, and I am humbled to make such a wondrous discovery—the gift of sweet tranquility.

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.—Jeremiah 33:3

Let Go Let God Focus on Healing

I Focus my Thoughts on Health. 

When faced with a health challenge, I may be tempted to keep my thinking focused on what might be wrong with my body, but keeping my thoughts and feelings focused on disease keeps my attention focused on illness, not wellness. I can make a new choice. While caring for my body with proper exercise, rest, and nutrition, I focus my attention on those parts of my body that do feel well. From there, I feel gratitude for the healing thoughts that are filling my mind and inspiring me, crowding out all thoughts of illness or dysfunction. As a spiritual being, I know that wholeness is my divine nature, and I gratefully welcome my healing. Today I think health-producing thoughts and speak words of healing into being.

I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the Lord sustains me.—Psalm 3:5

Let Go Let God be Free

I am Free to be me. 

There is perhaps no more empowering thought than I am free to be me. When I reflect on the meaning of these words, I discover that being me means expressing my spiritual nature. As I remember that I am created in the image of perfection, I feel a deep sense of rightness about myself. I am my own person. I do not depend on other people or things to fulfill my heart’s desires. I can do anything I set my mind to do because I am one with divine mind that guides my thoughts and actions and keeps me steady. Because of my awareness of who I am—an expression of the Divine—I am empowered to confidently move through my day. I feel able to set goals and ready to reach them, one day at a time. I feel emboldened to be my authentic self.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free.—Romans 8:2

Let Go Let God be Protected

I am Safe and Secure in the Presence of God. 

“Let the little children come to me.” These words ring true for me as I remember that I am a child of God and one with the Christ presence. This presence is within and around me, guiding my path and helping me overcome any obstacles I may encounter. Attuned to this presence, I am fully aware of my surroundings. I walk a path of safety and security, knowing that the Christ presence lights my way. Before choosing an undertaking or making a plan, I open to the Christ presence within. I receive intuitive guidance for the path I am to take, and I am protected every step of the way. I fully open my heart to the indwelling Christ presence and know that all is truly well.

Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.—Matthew 19:14

Let Go, Let God

I Let God be God in me. 

Meister Eckhart, 14th-century German mystic, taught, “All that God asks you most pressingly is to go out of yourself—and let God be God in you.” Reflecting on Eckhart’s words, I remember that whatever I’m doing, I need never feel frustrated by the limits of human wisdom and understanding. Letting go and letting God reminds me that God’s presence is with me throughout every experience of my life. God’s love, life, wisdom, understanding, and strength are mine. Even my inner power of release works through me whenever I call upon it. My human self, together with the indwelling presence of God, the Christ in me, brings good into my life.

The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works.—John 14:10

Let Go Let God Pray for World Peace

I Pray for Peace in the Minds and Hearts of all Beings. 

World peace begins with me. Before I pray for peace in the world, I first center myself and align my mind and heart with the presence of God. Like a still, placid lake, this peaceful presence rests quietly and is available whenever I need it. As I ease in, my mind becomes quiet, my body stills, and I feel a deep sense of peace. I breathe in deeply, melting the tension in my body and dissolving the worries in my mind. From this calm place, I imagine the hearts and minds of all people reflecting the same way, shimmering like sunlight on the water’s surface. I visualize this peace shining out from each individual and spreading throughout the world, softening all hearts. I affirm peace within, and peace increases in the world.

Let them turn away from evil and do good; let them seek peace and pursue it.—1 Peter 3:11

Let Go Let God be in Balance

My Mind, Body, and Spirit are in Balance. 

Balance is the key to living a whole, happy, and complete life. Every day I seek balance between work and family, between worldly responsibilities and relaxation. However, there are times I feel pulled in different directions at the same time. As I stop and focus, as I breathe into the moment, I am able to weigh my options and move forward mindfully and with intention. I affirm that my mind, body, and spirit are in synchrony with one another, and I realize that I am a whole and complete being. I create stability and order in my life by spending time meditating, enjoying family and friends, and participating in sports or hobbies. I find the beauty and symmetry in each moment.

Is not my house like this with God? For he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and secure.—2 Samuel 23:5

Let Go Let God with Grace

The Grace of God is mine. 

When I think of grace, I may think of an allowance of blessings or a force outside myself bestowing upon me the ability to endure life’s challenges through supernatural power. Today my understanding of grace evolves. I realize I live, move, and have my being within God. I am energized in every cell of my body. Lack of awareness of my spiritual nature may keep me from knowing grace. I awaken my awareness by breathing deeply and feeling my inner power. Calling to mind a current challenge, I feel a wave of grace washing over any worries I may have about the outcome. Immersed in grace, I envision my concerns dissolving and perfect outcomes assured. I have faith that grace is alive in me, and I am at peace.

May grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.—2 Peter 1:2

Let Go Let God in Zeal

I am an Optimistic Expression of God's Energy and Love.

I am excited for the possibilities of this day! Though I do not know what challenges or opportunities may come my way, I look for and expect positive outcomes. I treasure even the most mundane events—my morning shower, a cup of coffee or tea, the drive to work, or completing an errand. My zealous attitude is contagious. Others’ moods are lifted by my outlook, words, and actions. I in turn am brightened by their positive response to my zeal. I make the decision that this will be my best day ever. I face any difficulties with hope and trust, knowing I am an example of God-filled faith. With excitement for all that each moment can bring, I go about my day with unbridled enthusiasm. I am blessed and I am a blessing to all I encounter.

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

Let Go Let God Find Strength

I Find my Source of Strength Within. 

My strength comes from knowing that I am one with God and trusting the source of strength within me. Jesus taught that one who does not have faith in God will be easily knocked down like a house built upon the sand. One who has faith is akin to a house built upon a strong foundation of rock, able to withstand whatever comes its way. This foundation of strength supports me in moments when I feel weak or insecure. I close my eyes and imagine myself standing on a strong, solid rock. I connect with the ground beneath me and notice how it holds me up and sustains me. I draw God’s all-powerful nature up through me, and I bring forth my reserves of strength from within.

“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.”—Matthew 7:24

Let Go Let God through Character

I Express the Christ within through my Character. 

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. declared, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” How do I compare? I choose to be steadfast in my beliefs whether my life is peaceful and happy or filled with trials. I know that there is a divine spirit within me that can deftly handle any challenge. Therefore, my strong, unwavering faith shows forth through my character no matter what is happening. My commitment to fully express my spiritual nature inspires those around me. I display the very best of myself through my character. It is easy for me to let my light shine when I stay connected to God’s light within me.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.—Matthew 5:16

Let Go Let God in Faith

Filled with Positive Expectation, I Expect Only Good. 

Eric Butterworth writes in Spiritual Economics: “You do not receive what you want; you do not receive what you pray for, not even what you say you have faith in. You will always receive what you actually expect.” Each morning, even when clouds cover the sky, I expect the sun to rise. When I drift off to sleep, I expect to awaken refreshed. When I express the desires of my heart in prayer, are my expectations limited or do I expect only good? As I pray, if I discover a thought of lack or limitation, I remember that I am a living expression of God, heir to all that God is. I release the limiting thought gently and without judgment. Freed from thoughts of limitation, I expect only good. And my good comes to me.

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 Open to Creativity

I am Inspired by the Spirit of God. 

Divine, creative ideas are only a thought away! To know the mind of God as my own, I must open and lift up my own mind and find my connection there. I build a bridge between this outer world of form and the inner world of Spirit with a single thought of willingness. I quietly affirm I am willing and allow divine ideas to flow into me through this expanded awareness. As I feel and know my growing receptivity, I become the channel through which I receive creative inspiration. This inspiration fills my consciousness, and I magnetize to myself all the spiritual qualities of creative imagination and genius. Original, bold ideas come forth with ease, as I welcome the flowing energy of imagination within me.

Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.—Philippians 2:5

Let Go Let God by Joy

I am Healed, Restored, and Uplifted by Joy. 

Whether I face challenges or my life is smooth, the potential for joy is always within me as my spiritual nature. As I develop my faith and trust, I feel more joy. It arises out of my conscious awareness of God. I make room for the bubbling up of joy as I release thoughts that falsely claim I can only be joyful someday in the future—when the bills are paid, the right life companion comes along, or I have achieved a particular goal. In spiritual Truth, joy does not depend upon changeable outer achievements and conditions. Today I harvest joy’s restorative bounty, its harmonizing power, and its uplifting influence. I know the potential for joy within each one I meet as I pray my joy will touch their hearts.

Do you not say, “Four months more, then comes the harvest”? But I tell you, look around you, and see how the fields are ripe for harvesting.—John 4:35

Let Go Let God with Patience

I am Patient, Kind and Loving. 

There are days when I pray for patience. I may be dealing with issues at work that are not going as I want. I may be helping to raise toddlers or teenagers. Working as a care-giver, driving in heavy traffic, or coping with a trying colleague or classmate—I can see all of these as opportunities to apply patience. Patience is similar to a magnet—it attracts like action. When I act with patience and kindness, I set the stage for others around me to act in the same way. I may need to step back for a moment and take a breath before responding to others, but as I do, I am able to act calmly. I am able to speak from a place of understanding. Remembering that my Christ nature guides me at all times, I recall “The Prayer of Faith” and affirm: I now am patient, kind, and loving too.

I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.—John 13:34

Let Go Let God Grow

As I Plant Positive Thought Seeds, I Grow into my Spiritual Nature. 

Today I picture myself walking through a garden filled with flowering plants, fruits, vegetables, and herbs. As I take in the sights, smells, textures, and sounds, I behold the beauty and radiance of the universe made manifest. I recognize that each of these plants had a beginning—a point of origin. I realize the source of all life dwells within me. The same creative power that brings the universe into being rests within me. I now see that I create my experiences through the activity of my thinking. As a spiritual being, I view my human experience as an opportunity for growth and use my life as a catalyst for my soul’s development. 

“They shall be like a tree planted by water, sending out its roots by the stream. It shall not fear when heat comes, and its leaves shall stay green. … it is not anxious, and it does not cease to bear fruit.”—Jeremiah 17:8

Let Go Let God Provide Power

I Claim my Divine Power. 

If I am tempted to rely upon only my limited personal power to navigate a challenge in my life, I pause to think what it would be like to change a tire by relying solely on muscle power to lift the car. It just would not work, nor would it be wise or safe. However, if I use the right tool to raise the car or call upon others for help, the task becomes easier. Yet do I sometimes confront a troubling situation by using my limited human power instead of relying on my divine power that I can call upon through prayer? The power of God that is within me is an inexhaustible resource, and I use it to surmount and overcome all of life’s challenges. I trust and rely upon my divine power to meet life’s obstacles with calm and confidence.

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

Let Go Let God Persevere

I Create Joy in the Journey and Peace in the Process. 

Learning to walk, a toddler will stumble and fall countless times. With patience and determination and no self-reproach, they simply pick themselves up and try again until they succeed. Many even seem to revel in the opportunity to go again, gaining confidence and enjoying each new try. I choose to embrace this beginner’s mindset. There is no judgment or self-condemnation in what I may feel are failed attempts, simply a purposeful patience brought to every effort I make. When I let myself fall in love with each step, I create joy in the journey and peace in the process. The result may be different than what I had planned, but I trust the Divine is in the details and the best outcome will be revealed.

So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvesttime, if we do not give up.—Galatians 6:9

Let Go Let God as Inner Peace

Inner Peace Brings me Strength, Calm, and Clarity. 

Like the soft glow of a candle, God’s peace shines forth from the center of my being. This peace is part of my spiritual inheritance, always ready to be called into expression, no matter what is happening around me. Divine peace comes through me rather than to me as I remember that I am God’s living expression, created in God’s image and likeness. To lay hold of God’s peace, I need only be willing to let go of anything that blocks it. My willingness allows my power of elimination to work through me as I release all thoughts of limitation, unforgiveness, lack, and fear. My energy continues to grow more and more peaceful and focused as I release each of my limiting thoughts. I become centered in the pure peace of God.

He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!”—Mark 4:39

Let Go Let God Forgive

The Healing Power of Forgiveness is Mine. 

The act of forgiveness can be a powerful one. Surely Jesus was aware of this when he chose to forgive those who persecuted or wronged him. Forgiveness is an act of looking beyond the behavior of another and seeing a child of God. It does not mean condoning an action or behavior; instead it provides the opportunity to release negative thoughts or feelings and find the strength to move forward. It is important for me to forgive myself as well for I, too, am a child of God. If I have acted in a manner that I regret, I forgive myself, learn from my mistake, and move forward. By forgiving, I am following the teaching of Jesus. I look ahead instead of behind, and I am at peace.

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you.—Ephesians 4:32
