Let Go Let God Live in Abundance

Abundance Surrounds Me.

I live in an endlessly abundant universe. I need to turn only to nature to encounter the variety of God’s bounty all around me. Flowers and plants that blossom, the sun that shines, and waters that flow are signs that abundance is everywhere in the manifest world. Yet I know there’s more to abundance than I am able to take in with my senses. Looking within, I find still more abundance when I become aware of the endless possibilities for my life. My potential is limitless, and this knowledge empowers me to boldy pursue opportunities to achieve great things. I find abundant ways that I can grow, learn, serve, and help, and with zeal I open my mind and heart to them all.

They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights.—Psalm 36:8

Let Go Let God with Grace

The Grace of God is with me Always. 

Grace is an expression of the love of God, always available, never needing to be earned. As I recognize grace, I feel an exhilaration and a comforting remembrance of the connection I have with God. When I feel I am lacking the good I need or deserve, I stop for a moment to consider the many ways I have been cared for. I remember precarious situations that have worked out to my benefit. A concern over which I worried was resolved in an unexpected way. An idea or opportunity may have delivered surprising and positive results. Grace is never far from me, but it can be undetected and unappreciated. I know that grace is mine, and I receive it with gratitude.

Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.—Hebrews 4:16

Let Go Let God Find Inner Peace

I Find the Peace of God in the Silence within me. 

The Hebrew scriptures tell the story of the word of the Lord commanding the prophet Elijah to “stand on the mountain before the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” As he waits, Elijah fails to find God as he endures a wind strong enough to split mountains, an earthquake, and then a fire. Then Elijah discovers God, in a sound of sheer silence. Sometimes chaos surrounds me as I try to find the peace of God. Other times, the chaos may be inside me. I persist in my efforts as I confront inner storms, fires, and earthquakes as I search for peace. Like Elijah, I remain steadfast in faith, undisturbed by what is happening around me. I wait for distractions to pass. Peace is mine.

And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of sheer silence.—1 Kings 19:12

Let Go Let God Evolve

Through my Human Experience I am Evolving as a Spiritual Being. 

I am growing in awareness of my potential as a child of God. Life experiences that I may be tempted to see as missteps are not occasions for self-blame or faultfinding but are instead opportunities to practice self-awareness and spiritual growth. Divine attributes including understanding, wisdom, love, faith, and strength support my evolution as a spiritual being. They are within me as seeds that sprout and roots that deepen during my life journey. In prayer, I claim them as aspects of my divine identity, calling upon them and practicing consciously drawing upon them in everyday life. I am patient as I remember that evolution is a gradual process. Spiritual evolution is lifelong, and its rewards are beyond measure. 

It is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in the garden; it grew and became a tree.—Luke 13:19

Let Go Let God Love

I am a Perfect Expression of Divine Love. 

When I hear the word love, my first thought may be of my family and my friends, whom I love very much. But I also know that the love of God is profound, awe-inspiring, and unconditional. In the world of human interaction, there may be times when the expression of love changes. I no longer feel love for someone or they for me. However, God’s love never changes. No matter what I do or don’t do, divine love for me and in me is unchanging. Knowing this, I make the decision to love generously. When I commune with the spiritual presence expressing as me, I can open my heart wide and share the limitless love of God with everyone. As my awareness of God within lifts me, I am a channel of that love to the world.

This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.—John 15:12

Let Go Let God Apply Wisdom

I Apply my Higher Wisdom with Faith and Courage.

My intellect allows me to navigate my life and meet obligations with logic and focus gleaned from many years of education and experience. Yet I am motivated by something greater than my intellect—my wisdom. Even though I have made mistakes, I learned from those errors and grew in wisdom I may not have gained otherwise. With forgiveness from myself and others, I have moved forward. My occasional blunders provide me the opportunity to become wiser. Opening to deeper, spiritual understanding, a wisdom that is beyond intellect and experience is revealed to me. My faith deepens and my wisdom grows as I listen to the still, small voice within. The wisdom of God directs my footsteps and brings me peace and clarity.

For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.—Proverbs 2:6

Let Go Let God Renew

I am Renewed, Refreshed, and Restored. 

Peace and tranquility are qualities that are part of the spiritual blueprint that exists deep within my soul. If I feel discouraged or anxious, I remember that the love and peace of God are always with me. My thoughts have the power to renew my mind. Affirming peace by filling my conscious mind with loving, calming thoughts leaves me feeling refreshed and restored. I continue to nourish myself with notions of peace that permeate my thoughts, words, and actions. I am sure to get quality rest, spend time in nature, and exercise my body. I also allow my mind to be renewed and revitalized through the power of prayer.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.—Romans 12:2

Let Go Let God in Wholeness

I am Whole in Spirit, Soul, and Body. 

I am already spiritually whole, as I am the image-likeness of God. As I affirm that Truth, I clear away the cobwebs of negative thought and my mind shines forth brightly. I am emotionally whole, as my feelings reveal the life-giving energy that is flowing through me. My body is whole, as it is the manifestation of my divine nature. As the creative expression of God, my innate wholeness expresses on every level of my being. I tap in to the wholeness of God, aligning my evolving soul with its divine expression. I visualize radiant spiritual light streaming through my mind, my emotions, and my body, connecting me with the universal light of God. I am already whole in that illuminating presence.

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 Feel Comfort

I am Enfolded in the Love and Comfort of God. 

If I am feeling alone, I remind myself that God is always with me as the divine inner presence from which I can draw guidance and strength. I need only turn my attention to God to feel surrounded by love and peace. I become quiet and reach deep within myself to find that connection with ever-present Spirit. There is only God. There is only this moment. Now I am ready to move forward with my day. I have all the strength and courage I need to do what is mine to accomplish. There may be moments when I feel tired or lonesome, but I know that I can never be abandoned. The spirit of God is always in me and all around me. Love and comfort are mine always. For this truth, I am so grateful.

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

Let Go Let God Take Power

I Take Dominion over my Thoughts, Words, and Actions. 

“The power of God protects me.” Today I hear with renewed understanding this line from the “Prayer for Protection.” In a growing awareness of oneness with my source, I realize that the power of God works through me and as me rather than simply in me or for me. I embody divine power by choosing words that affirm the Truth that I am a spiritual being as I navigate the valleys and peaks of my human experience. By expressing my power, I am claiming dominion over my words and thoughts. I affirm statements of Truth while releasing negative thoughts and ideas. I think and speak with the authority of my Christ presence.

For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.—2 Timothy 1:7

Let Go Let God Focus

My Focus Serves my Best and Highest Life.

Focusing on a thought or feeling can be like looking through the viewfinder of a camera. Searching for the perfect image, I zoom the lens in, revealing details and sharpening the picture. My mind and heart can be like a landscape of beliefs and emotions, filled with images calling for my energy and attention. I remember that my life flows in the direction my energy goes, so I am always mindful about where I place my focus. I remember this as I focus my mind in moments of quiet contemplation. By keeping my thoughts and attitude positive, I am choosing a vantage point in my consciousness that serves my highest good. I center in on God, and the picture is unlimited.

Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.—Proverbs 4:25

Let Go Let God Forgive

The Forgiving Love of God Moves Through Me and Blesses Others. 

When someone hurts me or someone I love, I may feel justified in holding on to thoughts of resentment. I may even defend my indignation. Yet deep inside I know the Truth: Only forgiveness can bring me the true healing I need. It is not in my nature to harbor thoughts of ill will for anyone. As I cling to resentment I only harm myself. Today I release others from blame. I let go of resentment and negative thinking. Forgiveness lifts a heavy load from my soul and from my heart. I feel free, refreshed, and renewed. I am able to feel the love of God fully in my body and mind as I breathe more deeply and feel radiating waves of peace.

Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.—Luke 6:37

Let Go Let God Blossom

I Bloom Where I am Planted. 

On this first day of spring, I celebrate the renewal taking place throughout nature. I remember that during the winter months when growth was dormant a beautiful springtime show was on the way. Likewise, my spirit needs time to recharge. My quiet times of prayer and meditation are a way of deeply connecting with God within. I come away from times in the Silence resilient, refreshed, and ready to blossom radiantly into new ways of being. I give thanks for the deepening awareness of my spiritual nature and continual growth, through which I express my unique humanness. Wherever I put down roots—in my family life, career, or physical location—I will blossom. I will share who and what I am to bless the world.

May people blossom in the cities like the grass of the field.—Psalm 72:16

Let Go Let God be Free

I am Free to Choose my Path, Today and Always. 

I am free to choose where and how to direct my attention. I may stay stuck in my past by clinging to memories or hanging on to resentments, or I may rush into the future by daydreaming or indulging in fantasies. Today I can make a new choice by staying present in the now moment. The choice of where to place my attention is always mine. I am blessed with the freedom and the responsibility of having an individual will. I may have chosen to be too stubborn, refusing to let go of emotions, difficult relationships, past errors, or harsh self-judgments that do not serve my highest good. I make a new choice to step away and be free, to forgive others or myself and move forward with positivity.

Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?—Isaiah 43:18-19

Let Go Let God with Strength

I am Blessed with the Strength to do and be my Best. 

There are many types of strength—the physical strength required of my body to perform a particular task, the mental strength of my mind to learn a new skill or take on a new responsibility, and the emotional strength of my heart to surmount a difficult challenge and have the courage to move forward. Each of these strengths is enhanced as I add my spiritual strength to my experience and trust God for guidance, confidence, and comfort to be effective. As I include the awareness of God in my experiences, I am infused with greater physical energy, I achieve sharper mental acuity, and my heart becomes more peaceful and calm. I know that with God, I have the strength I need—both inner and outer—to accomplish, achieve, or overcome anything I set my mind and heart to with grit and determination.

I love you, O Lord, my strength.—Psalm 18:1

Let Go Let God Grow

Rooted in a Community, I Grow and Evolve. 

Everything that a tree will be is contained within a small seed, but for the tree to grow the seed must break open, anchor itself in the earth, and then reach for the light. Some seeds need pressure to sprout, others just need time. Some must even be exposed to heat before they are able to crack open. I make sure to create fertile ground for the seeds within me to burst open in my awareness, grow deep, strong roots, and expand into the light of illumination. One way I do that is to find my spiritual home and become a member of a community of faith. This provides me with the support I need through the years that it takes to germinate the seeds of possibility I carry inside. I take root, I grow, and all the best blossoms forth in my life!

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.—Luke 8:11

Let Go Let God Pray for Others

As I Pray for Others, I Affirm Unfolding Good in their Lives and in Mine. 

Honored by the trust of those who request my prayers, I listen with compassion and then release all thoughts of illness, lack, limitation, or inharmony. Knowing that my responsibility is not to set the situation right but to see it rightly, I look beyond challenging conditions and attune to the essential truth that the one for whom I pray is created in God’s image and is seeking to express God’s likeness, just as all people are, just as I am. I know that the divine presence, the Christ, is present both in me and in the one for whom I pray. It restores wholeness in mind, body, and emotions, guiding all decisions, inspiring prospering ideas, and bringing harmony and peace to all relationships.

 

The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.—Psalm 145:18

Let Go Let God All Is In Divine Order

I Affirm Divine Order is at Work in my Life.

Looking around, I can see that order is a constant in the universe. I see the patterns of growth in flowers and plants and note the rhythms of the seasons and tides. There is a perfection in the natural world’s order, just as there is perfection in how my life unfolds. I turn my mind to God and notice how order is a constant in my life because my life is happening from the inside out. Life isn’t happening to me—it’s happening through me. There are times when I might want to push for a desired result or force an outcome. I remember that divine order is always at work in every situation. How I think, feel, and act in response to everything that comes my way creates the life I live.

By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.—Hebrews 11:3

Let Go Let God be Protected

In God, I am Always Protected. 

With God, I am greater than any challenge I face. Knowing this, I release all fears and doubts. I commune with God through meditation, prayer, and time in the Silence. Blessings come to me in expected and unexpected ways. I may get a phone call, have a dream, or feel a hunch. An inner knowing might guide me to exactly what I need, exactly when I need it. Like the young shepherd David facing the giant Goliath, I already possess the means, the aptitude, and the ideas to help and protect me. God is in me, and I am in God. The spiritual essence of me is invulnerable. I cannot be hurt nor can I be dissuaded from doing and being what and whom I am called to do and be.

Do not fear, for I am with you … I will strengthen you, I will help you.—Isaiah 41:10

Let Go Let God with Vigor

I am Empowered and Energized with the Spirit of Life. 

Just as I take in physical food each day to strengthen my body, I open my heart and mind to the spiritual energy and life present within me. I am strengthened from within by the indwelling presence of God. A simple visualization of light fills me with new vitality. I begin by imagining each of my cells as a pinpoint of light. Then I picture each tiny light growing brighter and brighter, connecting in a latticework of radiance. As I envision my body flooded with this spiritual essence, I feel its presence as it emanates all around me, connecting my awareness with my Source. I breathe deeply as I quietly affirm that the life of God is my true identity. I am vibrant, strong, and made whole by this dynamic power.

And while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white.—Luke 9:29

Let Go Let God with a Positive Outlook

My Positive Outlook Shapes my World. 

My outlook determines how I see the world. I may see the world with a distorted or unfocused perspective because of negative attitudes that have prevented me from seeing the good that is present. Shifting my awareness to the positive brings the already existing good into focus and allows me to see things as they are, in Truth. If I find myself stuck in distorted feelings or thinking, I step back and observe what I am choosing to see. Then I make a new choice. My perspective is one of positivity and healing, harmony, and growth. I am intuitively connected with the all-knowing mind of God and know just what to do and how to do it. My vision becomes clear before me as I shift my awareness and see things anew.

For you shall go out in joy, and be led back in peace.—Isaiah 55:12
