Let Go Let God with Patience

God’s presence keeps me calm and patient at all times.

 

How do I react to delays that keep me from accomplishing my goals? Experience tells me that getting irritated or impatient will not change the circumstances. A slow line will not move quicker by frowning. Traffic does not clear because I show frustration. What I can do, however, is visualize right outcomes for myself and others. If I am delayed, I use that time to center my thoughts and to give thanks for God’s presence within. I practice slow, easy breathing while affirming: I am peaceful. I am calm. Being patient today is an investment in peace for tomorrow. I refrain from being reactionary and saying or doing something I may regret later. As I hold thoughts of peace for others, I benefit from being patient and calm.

As a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, O God.—Psalm 42:1

Let Go Let God as the Epiphany

With joy of heart, I awaken anew to the divine power within me.

 

Today is Epiphany, an observance of the Magi’s visit to the manger. The Magi were the first people who saw the newborn child for the pure expression of divine love. Just as the Magi sought the Christ child, I seek to know the magnificence of the Divine within me. When I love and forgive others, I draw upon the unconditional love of my true nature. I give generously to those around me, and I discover the abundant substance of Spirit readily available. Humble and still, I awaken anew to the divine power within me. There is no greater epiphany than to know myself as an expression of the Divine. Claiming all that is revealed to me as a child of God, I am filled with joy.

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 with Wisdom

With God, I walk a path of wisdom.

 

Wisdom is more than being well-versed in facts or figures. It is the highest level of spiritual knowing—a discernment that helps me see the larger picture in a situation and apply spiritual teachings to it. With wisdom, I am able to walk in another’s shoes and see the many facets of a dilemma or concern—a 360-degree view. Jesus was wisdom in action. He taught us how to see people as children of God and to view situations as opportunities to seek truth from our Divine Source. He did not discriminate. Instead, he loved all people, all beings, and taught that we are one. Remembering this, I do what I can to make situations better and to bring people together in love and harmony. I walk a path of wisdom.

Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth.—Psalm 86:11

Let Go Let God Be Diverse

I am grateful for my uniqueness.

 

Grains of sand on a beach look the same to the naked eye. Yet when magnified hundreds of times under a microscope, the grains lose their similarity. Each grain reveals itself as unique, whether it is a sliver of shell or a minuscule piece of glass or rock. Each piece has its own unique story to tell of how it came to be. The same holds true for the world’s inhabitants. Despite outer appearances, we are each unique expressions of our Master Creator. We have our own life story to share. As written in The Quest, “God exists in everything, just in unique ways. It is the Christ in each human being that is the specific thread which joins humanity into a patchwork quilt of oneness.”

The glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one.—John 17:22

Let Go Let God Fulfill Intentions

Divine nature allows us to fulfill our goals and intentions.

 

Typically the new year is a time to consider the goals we will attempt throughout the next 12 months. So we ask ourselves, What are my intentions? What do I hope to accomplish? Do I have time and energy to see these into fruition? Whichever goals we decide upon, we can pursue them systematically. Any journey begins with a plan or a map, so we should consider the steps we need to take to move forward purposefully. If a roadblock should appear, we can regroup and refocus, then navigate around it or adjust our course as necessary. The more we understand God’s presence in the goals-fulfillment process and how our divine nature allows us to be our best, the stronger our resolve and success rate will be.

When you walk, your step will not be hampered; and if you run, you will not stumble.—Proverbs 4:12

Let Go Let God Have Enough

I have time enough, wisdom enough, and energy enough to do all that is mine to do.

 

Life is both an adventure and a journey. How comforting it is to know that everything I need along the way is lovingly provided. Giving thanks that God is my unlimited source of good, I affirm: I have enough. Every day I have goals to accomplish, things to do, large and small. No matter what my smallest task is or the highest goal I aspire to, I keep my attitude positive, especially when my plate seems full. If I feel so rushed that I’m unable to relax and connect with family and friends, I affirm: I have time enough. When contemplating solutions or ideas, I affirm: I have wisdom enough. If I want a new sense of strength and vitality, I affirm: I have energy enough. God is my source. I have enough.

Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin.—Luke 12:27

Let Go Let God this New Year

The life of God within reassures me that new adventures await.

 

With a new year comes new beginnings. As I bid last year goodbye, I greet today with an air of anticipation. This new year holds the promise of a new dawn, an adventure waiting to be fulfilled. Prayer is a powerful resource on my journey, and every thought of God is a prayer. So I keep myself centered on divine life within. There, faith encourages me to believe that all things are possible. This new year holds within it the promise of love, joy, health, prosperity, harmony, and so much more. With gratitude, I recognize and give thanks for the many blessings in my life—those received and those coming my way. I live in confidence because the life of God within reassures me that new adventures await.

Be renewed in the spirit of your minds.—Ephesians 4:23
