Let Go Let God Provide Guidance

The Divine Within Me Guides Me To Live My Dreams.

So many things can compete for my attention. When I struggle to decide where to place my focus, I go within to discern where my deepest interests and passions lie. As I discover the areas of interest that make me feel most alive, I rely upon my guidance as I seek to learn more about them. My inner compass may lead me to individuals or groups where I can meet like-minded people who share my passions. I may feel led to learn more, either on my own or in a social setting. My interests are one of the ways I connect with my divine nature and God within. The more fulfilled and purposeful I am, the more I am attuned to my guidance, which leads me to learn all I can. As my mind expands, my zeal is kindled, and my life is made rich and full. 

Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths.—Psalm 25:4

Let Go Let God Surrender

Spiritual Surrender Keeps Me In The Flow Of Life.

Resisting the events of my life is like swimming against a strong current. No matter how much I try, I cannot overtake the force of the water. But when I swim with the current, I am borne effortlessly upon it. Spiritual surrender works much the same way. When I resist the circumstances of my life, when I fight against what is happening, I am swimming upstream. But when I accept what is happening, I am surrendering to the flow of life. I may still work toward changing undesirable situations, but I do so from a place of acceptance, not resistance. No longer fighting, I give myself over to the power of God. I need not rely solely on my power, will, and effort. I surrender to God within me and ride life’s currents with ease. 

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.—Proverbs 3:6 

Let Go Let God Have Faith

I Have Faith Wonderful Blessings Are On The Way.

Wishing for wonderful opportunities is natural, and imagining how it would feel to have or experience certain things can be a fun pastime. But to welcome these experiences into my life, I must start within my own mind. I use my faith to believe I am God’s beloved child in an abundant world, fully deserving of everything it has to offer. In prayer, I deny limitation and affirm prosperity. As I go through life, I notice a lightness and optimism growing in me as I shift my thoughts toward all that I can do and be. My faith is the key to a better, more expansive, adventurous life. I believe fun, abundant, and harmonious living is mine. I have faith in God and faith in myself as a divine being, infinitely blessed. 

For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in faithfulness to you.—Psalm 26:3 

Let Go Let God Freely

Divine Wisdom, Love, And Strength Guide Me to Freedom.

While I may not be able to control what is happening around me, I have the power to choose my response. Even though it may seem paradoxical, assuming complete responsibility for my reactions and choices is the key to my freedom. No one and nothing can make me feel a certain way. Living from this awareness gives me the power to create my life from the inside out. I choose my thoughts, words, and actions. If I don’t like what my life is showing me, I have the power to make new choices. I do not squander my spiritual freedom. Other people and worldly situations have no control over me. Taking full responsibility for my life, I am free to create my future by living from my divinity. 

As servants of God, live as free people, yet do not use your freedom as a pretext for evil.—1 Peter 2:16 

Let Go, Let God

I Let Go Of Disappointment And Let God Within Help Me Begin Again.

I remember times when I have wanted something so badly, I was crushed when it didn’t come to pass. I may have felt disappointed and even angry, but I eventually moved on. Looking back, I can now appreciate how my relationship with God carried me through those low periods. God was my constant comfort in the disappointment and defeat. God was my light in the darkness. My divine gift of faith helped me believe in myself. I used my spiritual strength to keep going and try again, and I used my imagination and wisdom to determine my next steps. Little by little, I let go and let God. The sun rose on a new day. I found my footing, stood strong, and began again. 

But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love, answer me.—Psalm 69:13 

Let Go Let God Be Blessed

I Am Abundantly Blessed And So Very Grateful.

What does it mean to feel blessed? It’s a feeling of gratitude for my dear ones and my life’s circumstances. It’s realizing I am filled with divine life, embraced in divine love, and guided by divine light. I count my blessings and realize how amazing it is simply to be me, a spiritual being with unlimited potential. As I affirm my gifts and talents, I heed the call to do good work, be a person whom others want to be around, and act as a confident and caring presence in the world. Today I open my heart to the blessings of God and pause for a moment. I don’t focus on the past or the future. Instead, I enjoy the moment for what it is—time with God. I am grateful for this connection and the blessings that help me make my unique mark upon the world. 

Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field.—Deuteronomy 28:3 

Let Go Let God Claim Healing

I Cooperate With My Healing.

At any moment I can claim healing and be restored to the awareness of wholeness. To keep this awareness alive, I further my healing journey by taking conscientious care of my body and my mind. I prioritize meeting my needs by putting my health and healing first. I get enough sleep, make time for my spiritual practices, and eat well. If I am overextended, I care for myself by learning to say no if I simply don’t have the time or energy to give. This is how I cocreate with God and cooperate with my healing. My life is my responsibility, but that doesn’t mean I am without help when I need it. God within guides me to care for myself and to know the truth of my divine nature is perfect wholeness. 

I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security.—Jeremiah 33:6 

Let Go Let God Feel Sunshine

The Sun Shines Around Me And Within Me.

How wonderful it is to see and feel sunlight streaming through the windows as the day begins. The sun’s brightness and warmth drive out darkness and lessen the harshness of the cold. More than that, sunshine brightens my outlook, making the day feel full of possibility and me feel as though anything is possible. Just like the sun, there is brightness and warmth within me. Sometimes the clouds of pessimism and doubt obscure this light and the coldness of resentment and unforgiveness temper my warmth, but the sun within me never stops shining. As I clear the clouds through faith and forgiveness, my divine light breaks through, blessing me as well as all those I meet. 

And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.—Revelation 22:5 

Let Go Let God Pray For Others

I Entrust My Loved Ones To The Spirit Of God Within.

When I pray for another person, I am releasing them into the care and keeping of the Divine within them. God is the healing, prospering, guiding power that lifts them up and meets their every need. This realization frees me to love and support them without worry. I pray, affirming God’s presence and power. I then release my concerns for and about my dear ones, entrusting them to their inner strength and guidance. As I affirm their highest good and best results, I pray with a peaceful heart and untroubled mind. I am fully and lovingly connected with them, yet detached from wanting specific outcomes. I yield to the wisdom of God as I pray, let go, and trust the highest and best outcomes are already on their way. 

Pray for one another.—James 5:16 

Let Go Let God Know Protection

God Is My Strength And My Protection.

There are bound to be times I want to escape or hide from my troubles because I fear I don’t have what it takes to surmount them. At those times, I may want to turn to God for divine protection. Rather than seeking comfort outside myself, I find the spiritual protection I need by going within. Divine power is my sword and my shield. Spiritual wisdom helps me discern whom I can trust. My faith helps me believe that no lasting harm can befall me. As I envision Spirit around me and the breath of God within me, I relax as I pray. I affirm I am strong and capable. I can meet every aspect of life with ease and grace because God is with and within me every step of the way. 

You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with glad cries of deliverance.—Psalm 32:7 

Let Go Let God Be Energetic

The Limitless Energy Of Spirit Flows Through Me.

I smile as I watch children at play. Their boundless energy seems so natural, so effortless. When I want to reclaim this same zeal and enthusiasm for myself, I remember these divine gifts are already within me. Centered in this awareness, I feel renewed vitality. As I take care of my family, move through my workday, enjoy time with dear ones, or volunteer in my community, I engage it all with enthusiasm and feel my energy build. If I feel my enthusiasm faltering, I don’t despair. Instead, I pause for a moment to feel the quickening energy of Spirit, the divine life and strength that are flowing through me. As I am revitalized, the world feels new. I shimmer with energy and go about doing all I feel called to do. 

May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his glorious power.—Colossians 1:11 

Let Go Let God Elevate Perspective

I Put God First And Elevate My Perspective.

My personal history and unique experiences determine how I see the world. I remember this when I’m tempted to look at any troubling or disappointing situation and think that’s just the way it is. The truth is there are many ways to perceive the world around me. If I don’t like what life is showing me, I have the power to change what I’m seeing by going within myself. I alter my perspective by keeping God at the forefront of my thinking. I do this by practicing gratitude for blessings already present as well as those that are on the way. I also pray, not for specific things or certain results, but to touch the peace and perfection of the Divine and to carry it with me throughout my day. As I elevate my perspective, the world around me changes for the better. 

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.—Colossians 3:2 

Let Go Let God Receive

I Welcome Every Gift, And I Appreciate Every Giver.

Knowing that a kindness I’ve offered or a gift I’ve given has blessed the receiver brings me joy. Likewise, my happiness in receiving allows others to know that same joy. Giving is easy, but receiving can be a bit of a challenge. I have been taught since childhood that giving is better than receiving, but I understand it differently now. If I ever feel as though I am not deserving of what is being given or offered, I remember I am God’s beloved child, fully deserving of every good thing on earth. The goodness of God flows through many channels, some expected and others not. When a blessing comes my way, I receive it graciously, grateful that I am in the flow of God’s abundance. 

And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you.”—Mark 4:24 

Let Go Let God Find Empowerment

I Find My Empowerment By Living From My Divinity.

Today I give myself permission to shine. I need not wait for anyone to give me anything because, at the level of Spirit, I have everything I could ever need. I am a divine being, endowed with so many spiritual gifts that are mine to use as only I can. This is my empowerment, my ability to create the life of my highest imagining through the power of my thoughts and actions. I drop the weight of limiting beliefs that have held me back. In the past, I may have told myself I didn’t deserve the life I wanted, that I couldn’t do the things I wanted most to do. Now I tell myself a different story. I am deserving. I am capable. And I am empowered to accomplish all I set out to do. 

Be strong and bold; have no fear or dread of them, because it is the Lord your God who goes with you; he will not fail you or forsake you.—Deuteronomy 31:6 

Let Go Let God Forgive

Releasing Unforgiveness Frees Me.

Being forgiven by someone I have hurt gives me a feeling of great relief. I may still feel sorry about what I did or said, but knowing they are willing to move beyond it helps me forgive myself. I remember this when another’s words or actions have caused me pain. If they come to me asking for my forgiveness, I offer it to them. If I struggle to forgive, I pray for the willingness to try. I can forgive while still maintaining my boundaries, refusing to carry the burden of unforgiveness while doing what I must to protect myself from further pain. Through it all, God is my comfort. There is no unforgiveness in Spirit. As I prayerfully release resentment, there is no unforgiveness in me. 

And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.—Matthew 6:12 

Let Go Let God Bless Teens

I Bless The Teens Of Today. They Are The Hope Of Tomorrow.

The teenage years are exciting times of learning and growing, with decisions to be made and paths to be chosen. While teens may be inexperienced, they have so many ideas. Their energy and creativity are inspiring. I envision each unfolding soul following inner wisdom, using their time wisely, expressing exuberance and energy in all activities. I envision all teens knowing their worthiness and sharing their unique gifts with the world. I bless these adults of tomorrow as they follow their hearts and their passions. I pray for teens to use their innate wisdom to direct their lives. I see them through eyes of love and understanding—learning, growing, giving, and leading fulfilling and meaningful lives. 

For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare … to give you a future with hope.—Jeremiah 29:11 

Let Go Let God See World Peace

See The World Abounding In Peace And Love.

The tie that binds humanity is the truth that we are all joined by the divine spirit within us. No worldly circumstance—no conflict, no turmoil—can change this. As more and more people awaken to this truth, peace will flourish in every land. I hold the high watch for world peace by envisioning this growing harmony. I commit to visualizing all the world at peace, its people living from their divine natures. When I encounter troubling situations, I hold this vision of a peaceful world in my mind. I live in the world as it is, even as I work toward bringing peace to my corner of it. I take comfort knowing others are spreading peace just as I am. The world is everyone’s to care for and enjoy. Peace is the way. 

The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.—Numbers 6:26 

Let Go Let God Serve

I Bring God's Love Into The World Through Service.

I don’t need special skills to be of service. I have willing hands and an open heart, channels of God’s love, to be directed wherever they are needed most. This impulse to serve is my compassionate nature seeking expression. I respond to the needs around me by doing what I can to help. I do not think of reward or recognition. Just being of service fills my heart. Serving is a wonderful way to feel close to God. My loving heart is open, my hands are busy, and my life feels purposeful when I am doing what I can to brighten one person’s life or to make the world a better place. I feel God’s presence strongly as I serve and share the love and care of the Divine. 

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.—Matthew 25:35 

Let Go Let God Share Joy

With A Glad Heart, I Share My Joy.

When the world feels cold, I bring sunshine and warmth by sharing the joy that lives in my heart. It’s natural, of course, to wish the world felt like a kind and welcoming place all the time. But when that comforting, reassuring feeling is hard to come by, I don’t despair. Instead, I look within and find my joy. This feeling is part of my divine identity and is always part of me. Like sunshine obscured by thick clouds, joy is present beyond sadness, discord, and worry. I share my joy generously. Mine is the smile that brightens another’s day and the kindness that restores optimism. Mine is the light that dispels darkness. My joy is for everyone. 

For you shall go out in joy, and be led back in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall burst into song, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.—Isaiah 55:12

Let Go Let God Affirm Prosperity

Prosperous Thoughts Fill My Mind And Manifest In My Life.

At those times my awareness of abundance fades, when I am beset by worry or feelings of insufficiency, I turn within to strengthen my prosperity consciousness. I begin by putting my experience of lack in perspective. I see insufficiency as temporary and deny it any lasting power over me. I affirm the abundance and plenty in the world is evidence of the divine idea of prosperity made manifest. In prayer, I claim this prosperity as my own. As I pray, I relax as the concerns of my mind fall away. I release my concerns and touch the timeless truth of God as peace, power, grace, and limitless prosperity. I am a divine being, heir to all God is. As this truth suffuses my consciousness, I feel prosperous and so richly blessed. 

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

Let Go Let God Find Comfort

Finding Comfort In The Presence Of God, I Discover Strength, Hope, And Peace.

During trying or troubling times, I find comfort in the presence of God. Through my faith, I know that even in the most difficult moments, I am never alone. God is my comfort and hope, my help in times of need, felt most strongly in prayerful moments. As I pray, I release burdens, worries, and fears and simply rest in the presence of God. I am at peace and comforted. As I move through life, I carry this presence with me. The conditions of the world have no lasting power over me. This knowledge is my comfort. In Spirit, I am always loved, always blessed, and always safe. Although highs and lows are part of the rhythm of life, I rest assured I am whole and secure in mind, body, and soul. 

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 Belong

As A Spiritual Being, My True Home Is In The Heart Of God.

There may have been times I have wondered where I belonged. I may have questioned whether I was in the right place, relationship, or career. Perhaps my inner knowing nudged me to places and situations where I found greater belonging and fulfillment. That same inner knowing shows me where I belong at times I drift away from my awareness of God. When I let the busyness of life keep me from my spiritual practices, I may feel as though I have lost my belonging. I refocus my attention on God and immerse myself in the serenity of prayer. As I do, I feel my belonging once again. I put God first and find my home in the heart of God. 

But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.—Isaiah 43:1

Let Go Let God Sparkle

I Sparkle As I Live Boldly And Authentically. 

I’ve met people throughout my life who have felt simply magical. They could make even the most mundane task feel fun, brought energy and life wherever they went, and lit up every room they entered. Through their authenticity and appetite for life, they sparkled. Today I take my cue from those special folks and sparkle in my own unique way. If I have shrunk from life, I now muster the courage to step boldly into it. If I have hesitated to share my gifts, I now trust those gifts and share them generously. If I have felt I didn’t belong, I now see myself as a child of God, deserving of every good thing. As I fully and confidently live from my divine identity, I take my place in the world and sparkle with the light of God. 

And every work that he undertook … he did with all his heart; and he prospered.—2 Chronicles 31:21 

Let Go Let God Share Grace

Everyone Deserves Compassion, Including You And Me.

It may be easy to make snap judgments about people without knowing them. Grace helps me pause and look beyond first impressions, reminding me that every person is a spiritual being deserving of love and respect. No one need earn their worth. As I commit to regarding others as both fully human and fully divine, I live more fully from the awareness of grace. I see through eyes of compassion, not criticism. Looking more deeply at the beloved soul before me helps me grow in empathy. It also changes how I see myself. I grow in self-compassion when I drop my negative self-talk and practice self-love instead. God is love, and I am that love in action. I am a compassionate presence, gentle and understanding, expressing the love of God. 

Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.—Matthew 5:7 

Let Go Let God Know Wholeness

Wholeness Is My Nature And The Truth Of My Life.

I see myself whole, complete, and as a living expression of God. My thoughts fill my consciousness with the divine idea of wholeness. My words affirm this wholeness. Through my actions, I bless the life energy in my body with the right balance of exercise, rest, and nutrition. I live from my wholeness even if I experience illness. I may receive treatment, but I do not consider myself weak or diseased. I move through every health challenge with faith and grace, trusting the experience has come to pass. I remember wherever I am, whatever may be happening, divine life is always seeking to express through me, to restore my awareness of wholeness, which is and will always be my true spiritual state of being. 

Your eye is the lamp of your body. If your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light; but if it is not healthy, your body is full of darkness.—Luke 11:34 

Let Go Let God Experience Epiphany

I Am Grateful For The Christ Light That Guides My Way.

Epiphany celebrates the day the three wise men arrived in Bethlehem to honor Jesus’ birth. I celebrate this day with joy and gratitude for his teachings and message of love, and the awareness the Christ lives in me. I wholeheartedly accept myself as a child of God. With this acknowledgment comes the awareness of indwelling divine love, wisdom, and grace. The truth expressed by the apostle Paul in Colossians 1:27 is true for me: Christ in you, the hope of glory. This spiritual truth is the light I follow throughout life. I forgive myself if I stray from the path and use my wisdom to redirect as guided. I give thanks for my journey and the Christ light that guides me. 

When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage.—Matthew 2:10-11 

Let Go Let God Be Helpful

As I Help, I Share The Love Of God With The World.

Being of help is a wonderful feeling. Knowing my efforts have lightened someone’s load or helped them feel a little less alone fills my heart. I am a compassionate listener and an open and accepting presence. I may volunteer for causes that help those in need or I may reach out my hand to help them directly. I care for the earth by living in ways that nurture and sustain the planet and its creatures. I keep my mind open and my heart soft so others are comfortable revealing their tenderest selves to me. I am the hands and feet of God on earth, making contributions to the world in the spirit of gratitude, peace, and love. 

Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear.—Ephesians 4:29 

Let Go Let God Accept Inner Peace

I Surrender To The Mystery Of Life And Find Peace.

Sometimes I think if only I understood something more completely or could figure out an issue that escapes my understanding, I could finally be at peace. But there will always be things beyond my comprehension, always opportunities to grow in understanding. Today I make friends with the mystery of life. I content myself with the pace of my growth and all I have discovered and learned so far along my spiritual path. There is great peace in acceptance. As I grow comfortable with uncertainty, I relax and learn from what life is showing me. My understanding grows steadily when I move in rhythm with the Universe. I am learning. I am growing. I am at peace. 

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.—Philippians 4:7 

Let Go Let God Create

I Am A Joyous, Creative Being.

One of the best ways to feel the presence of God is through my drive to create. As a spiritual being, I am endowed with many wonderful divine gifts as well as unique talents and interests. The ways I use those gifts and direct my talents is up to me. At the start of a new year, my thoughts turn to what I might like to create as the months unfold. I use my imagination, wisdom, and will to find where to begin. No matter what I choose, I will bring my whole heart to it. I will feel the power and love of God flow through the thoughts of my mind and the work of my hands. Through my creative impulses, I will embark upon the new year by sharing the presence of God. This is how I will make my mark upon the world as only I can. 

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.—Philippians 4:13 

Let Go Let God Affirm Divine Order

Affirming Divine Order Anchors Me In The Steadfast Goodness Of God.

Sometimes uncertainty about how situations will work out shakes my faith, causing me to doubt whether the best outcome is indeed on its way. When I feel this way, I look beyond appearances and discover divine order all around me. From the rhythms of the natural world to the orderly manifestation of human-made creations, I can see how the divine idea of order sustains life. Finding examples of order in the world helps me find it in my life. Remembering times when certain things had to fall into place before a desired result could happen reminds me to be patient. I bolster my faith by affirming divine order and trusting the right outcome is on its way and will happen in its time. 

All things work together for good for those who love God.—Romans 8:28 

Let Go Let God With New Beginnings

With A Grateful Heart, I Eagerly Welcome The New Year.

As the sun rises on the first morning of the new year, I am filled with hope, promise, and the feeling that anything is possible. New beginnings are auspicious. I mark this day by putting the past behind me. With gratitude for the past year, I am ready to take its lessons into this one. Because of my growth and understanding, I am wiser and more patient, open, and loving. I am awake and present to the wisdom of God and to who I am as a divine being. From this place of spiritual maturity, I pledge to love myself and treat each person as a kindred spirit. I will share words of kindness and perform acts of service. Through my words and deeds, I will be doing my part to create the kingdom of heaven on earth. 

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.—Psalm 51:10
