Let Go Let God through Grace

I live in the grace of God.

 

Grace may appear in my life as forgiveness, a way through a seemingly insurmountable challenge, other people, or a divinely inspired idea. Grace is evidence of the love of God that, while unearned, is still freely given. It often comes to me in ways totally unexpected and at the time it is most needed. I am surrounded and enfolded in God’s love. One of the most beautiful ways that God’s love reveals to me is through grace. While I cannot do anything to earn that grace, I can hold to the faith that what God wants for me is always in my best interests. Whatever my circumstances seem to be, I look for the seed of blessing contained within. I find a confirmation of God’s love in ways that sometimes seem miraculous.

But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ’s gift.—Ephesians 4:7

Let Go, Let God

God directs and guides me.

 

What is the difference between letting go and just giving up? The difference is found when I am focused on the divine life within. God is my guiding light that steers my soul in a positive direction of spiritual growth and steadies my course. By letting go and letting God guide my way, I find myself pulled toward greater wisdom and awareness. Right now, I place my attention on the presence of God within me. God is a magnetic power that is drawing my soul up higher. I quiet­ly breathe in, affirming: I let go and breathe out with the words: I let God. With each breath, I am being pulled in the direction of my highest good and greatest growth.

I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.—Psalm 32:8

Let Go Let God all is in Divine Order

God is in charge, and all is well.

 

Sometimes my life feels like a jigsaw puzzle, and I am constantly looking for the right piece to put in the right place. Whenever I feel this way I take time to pray and reconnect with God. I know that underneath it all, divine order reigns. God is in charge! I am comforted by this knowledge. All is well with me and my world. In any circumstance I face, I can affirm God is in charge and feel peaceful and protected. I don’t need to control. When I release the need to do things my way, I discover that every little detail falls into place, as if it were meant to be. And just like the pieces of a puzzle form a complete picture, the pieces of my life come together to create the life I want to live.

But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than any human authority.”—Acts 5:29

Let Go Let God See World Peace

I see the world encircled in love and peace.

 

Watching the news can make it challenging to imagine the possibility of attaining world peace. To envision such an outcome—a world united in love—takes faith. I do my part in manifesting world peace by recognizing times when I harbor negative—even harmful—thoughts in my own consciousness. I invite my heart and mind to be purified through prayer. As I release my focus on images of conflict and violence, I turn my attention to reminders of love, healing, and redemption. With faith in the infinite love and power of Spirit, I envision a harmonious world. Right here and now, I picture the world encircled in love and peace. My faith-filled vision helps manifest this world into reality.

Those of steadfast mind you keep in peace—in peace because they trust in you.—Isaiah 26:3

Let Go Let God Forgive

I love and forgive myself.

 

Forgiveness is an important step along my spiritual path. While I may need to forgive another, I realize that forgiving myself is a necessary part of my road to wholeness. Jesus instructed, “Love one another. Just as I have loved you” (John 13:34). Inherent in that love is the ability to forgive. Focused on the healing love of God that flows through me, I release every thought or feeling of unforgiveness. When I do so, something incredible happens. The love and understanding that soothes and heals me reaches out to bless others. Forgiveness clears my way. I am free to love and be loved because I forgive.

Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. What I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ.—2 Corinthians 2:10

Let Go Let God with Resilience

I am flexible. I am resilient.

As I ponder the spiritual quality of resilience, I am reminded of the beautiful willow tree that sways in the wind but does not break. The resilience of the willow tree is a powerful example of how it is possible to be stable, strong, and flexible. In order for me to be healthy and strong through any challenge, I must also remain flexible. I remember to stay open to the support that Spirit offers me on my spiritual path. Rather than closing myself off, I trust in God. I surrender my thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes and gain a deeper understanding of who I am. I become more flexible and open in my thinking. Centered in God, I open the way for possibilities to enter my life. I am flexible. I am resilient.

They are like trees planted by streams of water.—Psalm 1:3

Let Go Let God Build Self-Esteem

I accept and respect myself.

 

At times we all face challenges we cannot overcome without help. Admitting that a situation seems beyond our control can be the first step toward positive results. Accepting ourselves even if we make a mistake is an act of love and respect that builds self-esteem. Henry Ford—who admittedly failed many times—said, “Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently.” Life is a progression of learning, trying, starting over, and realizing more of our divine potential. Our spiritual nature holds the seeds of wisdom, success, and love. As we recognize our own spiritual qualities, we feel good about our endeavors and love ourselves even though we will always have lessons to learn.

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
