Let Go Let God Envision World Peace

Affirming The Divinity Of The World's People, I Envision World Peace.

Peace is meant for every person of every faith in every land. Today I look beyond the news of the world, reports of strife and conflict, even the agitation and unforgiveness in my own heart, and find the peace of God. I believe the desire for lasting peace is within each person’s heart. In prayer, I affirm this truth and envision this desire growing stronger among the world’s people until peace can no longer be denied. It is our shared destiny to live in peace. When each person wants for all people what they want for themselves, harmony will blanket the earth. I affirm the peace I wish for myself is dawning in the hearts of others. In prayer, I see them safe and secure in the heart of God, forever at peace. 

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with all of you.—2 Thessalonians 3:16

Let Go Let God Be Worthy

I Am Worthy And Proud.

Knowing my oneness with God means knowing my worth and that I matter. I will no longer play it small or shrink in fear. This is a new moment, and I courageously embrace all that I am as a unique, divine creation deserving the best life has to offer. I am ready to be seen for who I am. I am proud to speak my truth and be my authentic self. I do not need anyone’s approval to be content and at peace. I let my light shine in a kaleidoscope of brilliant colors. I am a spiritual being, overflowing with divine gifts of life, love, joy, peace, and abundance. I affirm my worth and commit to being a voice for those who have yet to know theirs. I honor God’s light in everyone. 

I hereby command you: 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

I Demonstrate My Trust As I Let Go And Let God.

Walking on a windy day, I must push my way through the strong current of air to get where I’m going. But when I walk with the wind at my back, my forward movement is easier, and I feel helped along my path. Letting go and letting God is like walking with the wind behind me. It is trusting that if I make the necessary worldly efforts, I will be met with the help and support I need to keep going. This support may come from surprising sources or in unexpected ways. I feel God at work in these serendipitous happenings, and with gratitude, I accept them as the blessings they are. Letting go and letting God means accepting and acting upon the grace that is always mine. 

With all wisdom and insight he has made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ.—Ephesians 1:8-9

Let Go Let God Provide Comfort

I Am Enfolded In The Loving Comfort Of God.

At times my stability may be shaken and I may feel I have lost my security and no longer know my place in the world. When this happens, when I don’t know where or to whom I can turn, I take comfort in my faith in God. In the past, my faith has gotten me through other troubling times and low points. I remember this as I cope with present difficulties. God, the one presence and power, was my rock and refuge, the source of goodness and grace on which I could absolutely depend. My faith will carry me through this period as well. I allow myself feelings of sadness and worry, even as I believe this too shall pass. I lift my thoughts from what may be wrong to what is always right: the comforting love of God. 

The Lord is good, a stronghold in a day of trouble; he protects those who take refuge in him.—Nahum 1:7

Let Go Let God Pray For Healing

I Pray For Healing And Am Grateful To Claim My Wholeness.

On days my body hurts or my mind feels troubled or sad, I may pray for healing. In the Silence, I relax into my expanding awareness of God’s presence. Thoughts and sensations of pain and discomfort begin to fade in this space of perfection and peace. I claim wholeness as I pray. This is the truth of me as a spiritual being, no matter the state of my physical or mental health. Knowing there is so much more to me than any health struggles I may be facing refreshes my perspective and renews my strength and fortitude. I may seek treatments I need to feel better, but as I do I hold to the truth of my wholeness and the healing power of God within. My healing is ongoing, a commitment to claiming wholeness I make again and again. 

He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds.—Psalm 147:3

Let Go Let God Seek Protection

God's Protecting Presence Fills My Life.

If I am caught in a sudden downpour without an umbrella, my first impulse is to protect myself by seeking shelter from the rain. When storms of change and upheaval come into my life, the first thing I do is seek shelter in God, my enduring source of spiritual protection. The divine presence surrounds me. It is in the grace that spares me from unwanted outcomes and in the surprise blessing that comes, often in unusual ways. As I trust the reliability of this divine protection, I learn to depend upon it. The divine presence is also within me, helping me rely on myself. All the qualities of God are part of my divine inheritance, mine to master and use. When I am in full awareness of these spiritual gifts, I feel God’s protecting presence from within and know I have nothing to fear. 

Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name.—Psalm 91:14

Let Go Let God Forgive

I Forgive Myself First, So I May Then Forgive Others.

When I am hurt, it can be tempting to lash out at the ones I hold responsible for my pain. I might feel that’s fair and just, but I also know punishing someone who hurt me only serves to add more anger and sadness to an already wounded world. I can let the cycle of anger and hurt stop with me and choose to meet hurt with healing. When I do, forgiveness comes more easily. Practicing self-care, I do what I can to accept and forgive myself. Freed from self-condemnation, it becomes easier to see the pain in someone who hurt me. I envision their hurt easing and their life filled with blessings, knowing each healed heart sends healing to the world. 

Do not repay evil for evil or abuse for abuse; but, on the contrary, repay with a blessing. It is for this that you were called—that you might inherit a blessing.—1 Peter 3:9

Let Go Let God Be Generous

I Honor The Divinity In Others Through My Generosity.

There have been times when I relied on the generosity of others. I remember feeling grateful when they shared what they had with open hearts, not thinking of how I might repay their kindness. This is the true gift of generosity—not just the material offered or the services rendered, but the feeling I am worthy of someone’s time, treasure, and effort. This love and compassion is at the heart of my generous impulses too. I give, not out of pity or even out of obligation or duty, but so others may know their worthiness through me. Each person is a divine being, made in the image and likeness of God. I honor each person’s divinity by doing what I can to help and support them, as others have helped and supported me. 

Those who are generous are blessed, for they share their bread with the poor.—Proverbs 22:9

Let Go Let God Welcome Change

I Welcome Change With Peace And Enthusiasm.

When I think of change and how best to handle it, I think of a sail catching the wind. With each change in wind direction, the sailor must adjust the sail to go in the desired direction. I approach my life in the same way. I could see change as an annoyance and let it frustrate me, or I could adapt and tweak my point of view to stay pointed in the right direction. Change may be adjusting the sails of my thoughts and attitudes, or it may mean charting a new course. If I stay on my current course, I may find myself repeating unproductive actions that have not resulted in my preferred outcomes. When I step out in faith, I open to new opportunities. With each change, I remain peaceful and confident and set my sails for success. 

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

Let Go Let God Share Serenity

Serenity Is The Blessing I Receive From God And Share With Others.

When the air is calm and still, a lake’s surface is undisturbed and smooth as glass. It is the picture of serenity, inspiring to all those who see it. When I am calm, unperturbed by the winds of shifting circumstance that swirl around me, I am as serene as the lake surface. My serenity is the peace of God expressing through me. It is my comfort, but it is also a comfort to others, an inspiration that they, too, may know the peace of God as I do. Peace is everyone’s divine right, and it lives in every heart. As I live more and more confidently as the divine being I am, I encourage others to do the same. As more and more people discover the peace that dwells within them, we will bless the world with our shared serenity. 

I will both lie down and sleep in peace; for you alone, O Lord, make me lie down in safety.—Psalm 4:8

Let Go Let God Feel Joy

Joy Is The Foundation Of My Happy, Fulfilling Life.

Joy is always mine. It is a divine gift, part of my spiritual identity, a blessing I use to create my life. Joy colors every aspect of living. It is in the positivity with which I meet adversity, the compassion I feel for those I care about, and the wholeness that informs my health and well-being. More than mere happiness, which can come and go, joy is deeper and ever-renewing. It is the knowledge I am one with God and can live in perfect trust I am never alone, no matter the state of the world or my life. I create my life through the power of my thoughts and feelings. When I live rooted in and aware of my joy, it becomes part of everything I am and do. Joy is in my every word and action. 

I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves.—John 17:13

Let Go Let God Through Freedom

I Am  A Channel Of God's Freeing Love.

As a member of the human family, I feel a responsibility to help care for others. Each person deserves happiness and freedom. If I see someone in need, I do what I can to lend a helping hand. If I become aware of injustice, I feel moved to service. History is filled with people who have made a difference, who have helped their fellow citizens experience a better, freer life. Through the power and strength of God within me, I can be one of those people. Through divine love and courage expressing as me, I can speak up for those who have no voice. God’s love is as close as prayer and as natural as any act of giving. It is a force for good in the world. I commit to caring. By doing so, the world will be a freer, more loving place. 

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.—2 Corinthians 3:17

Let Go Let God Seek Guidance

My Indwelling Guidance Is A Beacon For My Willing Heart And Mind.

A familiar verse of scripture may convey a needed insight. A thought may enter my mind after my daily meditation. A sight or sound in nature may lead to the answer I’m seeking. When I am open to it, divine guidance comes in the way that will be most helpful to my unique understanding. When I am seeking guidance, I prayerfully focus on my question, and then I let it go. I focus on the divine presence within me and all around me. I am at peace, knowing my answer will come in the right way at the perfect time. Divine guidance is my constant blessing. I trust with gratitude I will find the path my guidance has suggested. As I continue, I take each step forward with faith I am moving in the direction of greater and greater fulfillment. 

You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me with honor.—Psalm 73:24

Let Go Let God Have Faith

The Power Of My Faith Leads Me To Accomplish Great Things.

Before I can accomplish anything, I must first believe it can happen. No matter how ambitious the aspiration or how lofty the goal, I must begin with faith in myself that I have what it takes to achieve it. Not only do I have faith in myself, I also have faith in God. I need never work toward bringing my dreams to life alone. God is with and within me, grace that smooths my way and the source of my inspiration and spiritual strength. Even when I encounter discouraging or frustrating circumstances, I stand strong in faith. I remember there is no circumstance, no setback greater than God. There is no limit to how far faith can carry me. I dare to dream big and reach far, knowing with God nothing is impossible. 

Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you.”—Matthew 9:29

Let Go Let God Bless Fathers

I Bless My Father With Loving Thoughts Of Gratitude.

Today I bless my father and the father figures I have known with thoughts of love and appreciation. The man I call father may or may not be related to me, but he has touched my life with love. I give thanks for those fatherly figures who selflessly gave their time and love to help me grow into the person I am today. Their demonstrations of patience showed me how to give others space and time. Their humor and lightheartedness taught me to not take myself too seriously. Their guidance and trust encouraged me to be independent and trust myself. I would not be the person I am today without the lessons of love and wisdom shared by my father. In so many ways, he gave me a strong foundation on which I built my life. I am grateful and blessed with all he has given me. 

Honor your father.—Matthew 15:4

Let Go Let God Find Inner Peace

I Let Small Things Go And Find Peace.

On those days I feel quick to irritation and anger, I may mistakenly blame other people and circumstances for the lack of peace in my mind and heart. But when I remember I choose my reactions, I realize I can choose to meet any situation with peace. I give meaning to the things that happen to me and around me. I keep this in mind the next time I feel my peace disturbed. If before I might have lost my temper, I now pause to breathe deeply before I speak. If I may have been tempted to blame another in my frustration, I now see them as a fellow divine being, worthy of kindness and understanding. The peace of God is always available to me. I claim this peace as my own and keep life’s small irritations in perspective. 

And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace for those who make peace.—James 3:18

Let Go Let God In Harmony

My Soul Sings A Song Of God.

Harmony is the song of life. I observe how the rhythms of the natural world come together to create a single melodious song. As I attune myself to this harmony, I am inspired to create it in my life. I begin by quieting my mind, calming my emotions, and relaxing my body. As I do, I yield to the presence of God within me. In this place, the clamor of my busy mind falls quiet. I can better hear the still, small voice within, restoring me to inner harmony. In balance and at peace, I feel at ease in all situations and with everyone I meet. I no longer need to seek harmony because it flows from me. The state of the world will shift and change. Through it all, I will remain calm, claiming the harmony of God as my own. 

But anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.—1 Corinthians 6:17

Let Go Let God Be Fearless

I Am Fearless And Free.

I want to feel safe, secure, and completely free to be adventurous and live my purpose. I am not content to be anchored to one place or experience, even when it seems safe and comfortable. Instead, I want to explore and live a meaningful life, freely and fearlessly. Living from my divinity makes me fearless. When I need courage or encouragement, I call on the presence and power of God within for strength and determination. I step into the unknown with faith as my support, knowing I am not alone. God is with me as a presence of love, peace, and courage. I boldly approach new experiences with confidence and enthusiasm, pushing the limits of doubt aside to live my dreams to their fullest measure.

Do not fear, greatly beloved, you are safe. Be strong and courageous!—Daniel 10:19

Let Go Let God Pray For Others

Praying For Others Brings My Compassion To Life.

When I learn of another’s troubling circumstances, I may feel called to action. It’s natural to want to help, to do what I can to help improve the circumstances of those who are struggling. Before I think of material support I can give, I begin with prayer. Prayer is the best way to bring the love and wisdom of God into any situation. In serenity and confidence I affirm God’s presence and affirm the highest and best outcomes are becoming manifest in the lives of those for whom I pray. Centered in the goodness and grace of God in prayer, I may also do what I can to lend a helping hand, aware the perfect outcome affirmed in prayer may be manifested through me. 

I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you.—Philippians 1:3-4

Let Go Let God Journey

My Journey Is A Joyous One.

My life is a journey of discovery. Sometimes the roads I travel are easy and the terrain gentle. Other times, the route may twist and wind and the way may feel rocky and rough. With my eyes and ears open, any journey can be one of discovery. When I am alert and aware, the world becomes bigger and more exciting. With my mind and heart open, my spiritual journey is also one of discovery. Sometimes I must navigate the challenging path of doubt before I can turn onto the smoother path of faith and joy. No matter whether my journey feels easy or more challenging or takes place within or without, I am heartened and comforted knowing I’m traveling with God. 

He restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake.—Psalm 23:3

Let Go Let God Wonder

I Live With A Sense Of Wonder.

The world is full of so many wonders. Each day I feel gratitude for the beauty and magnificence that surround me. My heart delights at the feel of a soft breeze and the warm sunlight. I know joy as I listen to birds singing and to the lilt of joyful voices. I am blessed as I savor the flavors of my food, giving thanks for its nourishment. Just as my wonder makes the world a rich and inviting place, it also prompts me to want to know myself as a spiritual being and grow closer to God. I grow in awe of God, the one presence and power in the Universe, as I contemplate the many ways I’ve been blessed. I also feel humbled to use my divine gifts to help others feel the wonder that fills my life. 

You have made known to me the ways of life; you will make me full of gladness with your presence.—Acts 2:28

Let Go Let God Know Prosperity

I Focus On The Goodness Of God And Know Prosperity.

Sometimes I may worry, wondering if I will have enough of what I need. If thoughts of lack or limitation arise, I lift my thoughts from the things of the world to the truth of God. I focus my mind on the richness of divine life within me. I feel calm and assured as I remember I live in an abundant Universe and am heir to everything God is. Even when my worldly fortunes shift, I am abundant in Spirit. As I align my thinking with divine mind in prayer, I become receptive to divine ideas that prosper me. I claim prosperity and feel empowered as I do. My prosperity stems from my oneness with God. I count my blessings, feel grateful, and trust with understanding faith I have enough. 

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 Remain Willing

With An Eager Heart, I Am Willing To Grow.

My spiritual growth is ongoing. Even when I think I have finally arrived, when God feels close and I have a solid understanding of the world and my place in it, that feeling will be only temporary. Soon I will feel a nudge to go deeper, learn more, and grow even closer to God. Through it all, I remain willing to answer the call of my soul. Even during moments of discontent, I realize I am being called to grow. I am grateful for how I’ve grown. I am also grateful to know I will never finish growing, that there are always going to be opportunities to know God in new, exciting ways. The top of any mountain is the bottom of the next one. I pause in gratitude for how far I’ve come and renew my willingness to keep going. 

Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit.—Psalm 51:12

Let Go Let God Be Secure

My Spiritual Roots Are Strong In God. I Am Secure.

Young trees grow tall and stretch skyward, their branches spreading wide and their green leaves glistening in the sun. Even as trees grow up, they are also growing down, roots extending into the earth, drawing sustenance from the soil in which they are planted. Stormy winds and rain may cause the trees to shake and bend, but they do not break because of the strong roots anchoring them in place. Like the tree, I am rooted in the love of God. This is my enduring security when the rough winds of life whip around me and I must bend to adapt to shifting circumstance. The presence of God is my source of stability and safety, through every season of life. 

You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”—Psalm 91:1-2

Let Go Let God Bring Grace

Loving Hearts And Caring Hands Bring Grace Into The World.

The gift of divine grace often comes into my life through the presence of my dear ones—my friends and family—who somehow know just the right things to say or show up to help without being asked. I feel the presence of God through the kindness of their words and through the work of their hands. Likewise, I am blessed to realize others can know God’s grace through me. This realization gives added meaning to my impulse to help and serve. I see myself as doing more than completing tasks or doing favors for others. Now I see myself as a divine channel through which grace manifests on earth. Grace is God’s gift to me. It’s also God’s gift given through me, blessing everyone in its path. 

Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.—1 Peter 4:10

Let Go Let God Trust Divine Order

I Trust The  Process Of Life.

When I clean out a closet, the process of organization can look messy. As I sort the items, I am establishing a system of order giving everything its proper place. After the project is done, things will be taken out and put back again. I use the power of order to change and adapt as often as necessary. In the same way, I use divine order to maintain equilibrium and keep my life in balance. Just as I trust the ocean’s tides will ebb and flow and the seasons will change, I trust I can keep my life in order. I find comfort in the rhythms of the universe and use them in my daily life. I create and maintain structures and routines that give me stability and safety. When life feels chaotic, I affirm divine order and rest assured all will be well. 

He sends out his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly.—Psalm 147:15

Let Go Let God Be A Visionary

I Am Divinely Inspired With Creativity. I Am A Visionary.

In the past I may have been advised to get my head out of the clouds or be less fanciful and more practical. But using my divine gifts of faith and imagination is one of the most useful, practical things I can do. I see myself in the stories of biblical figures whose dreams led to breakthroughs in spiritual understanding. With the clarity of spiritual vision, I use wisdom to discern what is right for my life and will to choose the direction to follow. My gift of order helps me know where to begin, and zeal gives me the spark to get started. Mine is the life of a visionary, a mystic. I pay attention to my dreams and inspirations and act upon them to help my visions become reality. 

The Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask what I should give you.” And Solomon said, “… Give your servant … an understanding mind to govern your people.”—1 Kings 3:5-6, 9

Let Go Let God Feel Calm

My Calm Demeanor Helps Me Bring The Peace Of God Into The World.

I marvel at people who seem unflappable even under the most agitating circumstances. They meet people and situations with steadiness and serenity, bringing a calm bearing that helps defuse tension. I can learn something important from these special ones. They are not calm because they never encounter troubling situations. They are calm despite them. I want to claim their calmness as my own. I begin by realizing no matter what is happening in my life, I can choose my reaction. I use the affirmation I am calm. I am at peace. I repeat these words aloud and silently until they fill my mind, and I feel calmness permeate my soul. I no longer seek peace because I am peaceful. 

Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.—Matthew 11:28 

Let Go Let God Grow In Optimism

Optimism Colors My World With Love.

My experience of the world depends on the attitude I bring to it. When I hold positive thoughts and share the love in my heart generously, the world becomes an inviting, friendly place. Optimism makes me a magnet for positive people, exciting opportunities, and serendipity of all kinds. It lifts my consciousness out of the mire of worry, anxiety, and fear and keeps me focused on the beauty of the earth, the goodness of people, and the presence and power of God. When I perceive God in the kind acts, selfless impulses, and loving service happening all around me, my optimism grows. I feel renewed and inspired as I focus on what is right and good in my life. In gratitude for the world’s wonders, I grow in optimism. 

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.—Romans 12:21

Let Go Let God With Zeal

Zeal Fuels My Appetite For Life.

Almost everyone has a special interest that fills them with enthusiasm, including me. For instance, I may be finished for the day with the work I love but eager to go back to it tomorrow. This feeling is zeal. Zeal gives me the energy to pursue my dreams. I can work toward my passion tirelessly because it brings me joy. This joy boosts my mood and elevates my outlook. My enthusiasm is evident to everyone around me. I am happy to share my passion with anyone who asks. Zeal energizes me in body, mind, and soul. To remain divinely inspired, I make sure to prioritize time in prayer and meditation every day. Staying connected to my divine source helps kindle my passion and inspires me to pursue the things that spark my zeal. 

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