Let Go Let God in a Life of Prayer

My life is prayer in action.

 

I can stretch my soul by beginning and ending my day with quiet times of prayer, reflection, and thanksgiving. In between I observe expressions of the Divine—in nature and the kindness of others. I set an intention to be a blessing wherever I am. These are acts of prayer—expressions of my divine nature. I acknowledge the presence and power of Spirit within. Breathing deeply, I give thanks for divine light that guides me. I recognize the pure life that nourishes and energizes every cell of my body. I open to divine ideas and creative ways to use them. I see myself enfolded in a circle of love and peace. My life is prayer in action.

 

I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray with the mind also.—1 Corinthians 14:15

Let Go Let God in The Silence

In the Silence, I find comfort.

 

Deep beneath the random and shifting waves of my mind, I discover a vast ocean of peace. Like an ocean’s choppy surface, my outer mind may seem busy or even stormy. As I stop and let my awareness turn within, I find a still, quiet place. In this moment, I take a deep, cleansing breath and allow my muscles to relax. I still my mind and rest in the realization that I am divinely protected. In the silence of my being, I find comfort and serenity. Whatever appears to be going on at the surface of my mind, I can turn within and experience this peace. I take a moment now and rest in this sweet place of tranquility. In the Silence, I find comfort.

 

In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.—Isaiah 30:15

Let Go Let God in Grace

I trust in the grace of God.

 

Mystical poet Rabindranath Tagore is credited with writing, “The winds of grace are always blowing, but it is you who must raise your sails.” Pondering these words and God’s many blessings, I am reminded of a sailboat on the sea, taking advantage of the wind. I trust God’s grace to fill my sails and move me forward. Every time I turn my attention to God, I am reminded that God’s love is ever-present. I can look beyond appearances to the Truth of God’s goodness. I trust in God. My faith fills me with a greater sense of ease that flows through my heart and mind. Divine grace blesses me with more good than I could ever imagine. I trust in the grace of God.

From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.—John 1:16

Let Go Let God Forgive

As I forgive, I am open to the peace and joy of God.

 

Why does forgiveness sometimes seem so difficult? Another person caused me harm by what they did or said, and I may have held on to a feeling of resentment for days, weeks, or years. I may question whether that person deserves my forgiveness. A better question might be, Do I deserve to hold on to the pain of resentment and anger? In Truth, I know that holding on only feeds my feelings of injustice and robs me of my peace and joy. Jesus taught us to forgive over and over. Forgiveness is an expression of the love of God. So instead, I make a new choice today. I envision others no longer bound by my resentment. I forgive them. As I free them, I am freed. I am open to the peace and joy of God.

For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.—Matthew 6:14

Let Go Let God Provide Healing

The healing presence of God revitalizes me.

In the Book of John, Jesus asked a man with an infirmity, “Do you want to be made well?” Faith plays an essential role in the healing process. Those who approached Jesus believed healing was possible. He taught that wholeness is a spiritual condition. The presence of God within is the inner resource of radiant wholeness and well-being. We support our healing when we nurture accepting, positive attitudes. Rather than focusing on any illnesses or unhealthy condition, we instead say to ourselves and to Spirit, Yes, I want to be made well! Doing so opens our entire being to wellness. In Truth, we are whole and revitalized.

They brought all who were sick to him, and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched it were healed.—Matthew 14:35, 36

Let Go Let God in Creativity

I am a creative being.

 

I open myself to the flow of divine ideas and to my innate ability to create. The activity of the Christ works in and through me. Creativity involves much more than the art of painting, music, or writing. The creative process expresses itself in everything I do. The activity of my mind is innovative, bringing thoughts into reality, developing the first hint of an idea or dream into completion, planning and preparing a meal, or organizing the work I am doing today. I am creative. I acknowledge my everyday achievements as creative expressions of the Christ in me.

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

Let Go Let God Pray for Others

I behold the healing light in all.

 

When I hold a healing thought for another person, I imagine the light of God shining outward to bless the person for whom I am praying. I am lifted up into the realm of Oneness, where God, the person for whom I am praying, and I are one. I embrace and celebrate this uniting energy, amplifying and focusing its mighty power. I take a moment now to give thanks for my role in this time of healing prayer. Spirit is unlimited, as are the potential benefits of connecting through prayer. Prayer is a way I unite with my loved ones at any time—no matter how far apart we may be. My prayers are messages of love, life, and healing that reach out to bless them wherever they may be.

You are all children of light and children of the day.—1 Thessalonians 5:5
