Let Go Let God Encourage Others

I allow divine love to flow through me to bless others.

 

When I pray for others, I affirm that divine love is guiding their way. I give them the blessing of my presence, companionship, love, and support as they discern their own way. In her poem “Child of Light,” Martha Smock wrote: “I see you as a child of light. I see you guided and directed by an inward Spirit that leads you unerringly into the path that is right for you.” With absolute faith, I join my heart with the hearts of those I support. Bringing our energies together in the spirit of cooperation and compassion encourages feelings of goodness, optimism, courage, and strength. The encouragement I extend to others is an expression of divine love working through me to bless them.

For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.—Matthew 18:20

Let Go Let God be Free

I am free to live a full and meaningful life.

 

Theoretically, if a clear barrier is inserted into an aquarium, a fish will attempt to swim through but will eventually adapt to the smaller space. If the barrier is removed, the fish remains confined as though the obstacle remained. Are my habits or perceived obstructions limiting me? I am free to live a full and meaningful life. If fearful thoughts are limiting me or if I’ve grown accustomed to having others tell me “No,” I affirm: I am free to live a full and meaningful life. I have gifts and talents to share, ideas to explore, and dreams to pursue. I accept myself as a child of God having abundant potential and freedom to be my best self.

For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.—Galatians 5:1

Let Go Let God be Protected

God’s loving presence protects me.

 

James Dillet Freeman’s “Prayer for Protection” is a reminder that “the power of God protects me.” I am never alone, for Spirit and I are one. God’s presence is a strength I can call upon at any time when I need it. This is not to say that I won’t ever feel afraid. I am human and part of my emotional response system is fear. I do not judge myself for being scared but instead note when this feeling arises. When I feel fearful, I turn my attention away from the darkness of fear toward the light of divine life within. God is the one power and presence in my life. I have the wisdom to know what needs to be done, the strength to do it, and the faith to overcome any fear.

I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit.—Ephesians 3:16

Let Go Let God with an Open Heart

My heart is open to the flow of life.

 

On a clear day, the ocean surface provides only a glimpse of the activity beneath the surface. Beneath the water, life makes its home in myriad ways. Like the depths of the ocean, my heart is filled with countless energies—love, compassion, and so much more. My heart also remains open to new experiences as part of the continual ebb and flow of life. I gently allow each experience to flow into my open heart. Then, like the tide rising and falling in tandem with the moon, I feel the gentle pull of God’s love calling me inward to bless me then flowing outward from my heart center to bless others. Whether receiving or giving, my heart is open to the flow of life.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.—Matthew 5:8

Let Go Let God All Is Well

I am ready for my next spiritual gift.

 

If I feel that I must wait for things to be “just so” in order to move ahead, I may miss a wonderful opportunity. Right now, I allow myself to be lifted up into my new possibility. The flowers in my garden know how to grow. The sun knows when to rise and set. The wind blows without conscious thought. And when the time is right for new opportunities in my life, I know the way will be revealed to me in due time because all is well. As Jesus said, the lilies and birds do not fret or worry about things, and yet their needs are met. I know right now, I am provided for, even if the outer circumstances may not always show it. Every moment is the perfect moment for taking a step. This point in time is a new opportunity for me.

 

The place on which you are standing is holy ground.—Exodus 3:5

Let Go Let God with this New Day

I am refreshed and renewed in my quiet times with God.

 

When I feel stressed or tired, it may not be easy for me to accomplish all that I would like to do. In order for me to feel vibrant and ready to create positive changes in my life and in the world, I must take time for renewal. I grant myself permission to step away from the “busyness” for physical and spiritual self-care. I do this by getting enough sleep, eating well, having fun, and spending time in prayer with God. In a sacred space of prayer, I feel the serenity of God’s love embracing me. I relax into a sense of peace. I take in a gentle breath and let go of all that has come before this moment. I surrender my entire being completely to the blessed peace of God. I am now able to continue my day refreshed and renewed.

A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you.—Ezekiel 36:26

Let Go Let God in Faith

My faith is in God—the unchanging Source of all good.

 

Wherever I am, God is present. Whether I travel to foreign lands, or I move about my tasks at home or work, the same Infinite Source is readily available. Change may come to relationships, careers, homes, or even to my physical body. Everything around me may change, but my faith remains focused. If I sense something is amiss, it’s my cue that my attention has drifted. In prayer, I return to my center. God is my health, my guidance, my comfort, my strength. God is all this and more. Faith reminds me of all the blessings I have received and assures me of the continued flow from my Source.

If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me fast.—Psalm 139:9-10
