Let Go Let God with Simple Living

God is the source of all that I treasure.

 

In Disney’s The Jungle Book, Baloo the bear sings of “the simple, bare necessities” of life that allow us to forget about worries and strife. I reflect on my own life and those things I hold dear: the sound of children playing, the love of family, relaxing moments alone. I recognize God’s presence at the core of each experience. I cannot place a price tag on the things that bring me the greatest enjoyment. These are simple wonders around me. My life grows richer as I invest my time and attention in thoughts of God. Faith encourages me to trust that anything I desire is available in abundance and mine to claim. I appreciate the smallest kindness and the big celebrations of life. Simple living acknowledges that all life flows from one source—God.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.—Matthew 6:21

Let Go Let God in Affirmative Prayer

Spirit guides me in prayer.

 

Mary Kupferle wrote, “If you feel inadequate about praying, be still and obedient and the Spirit within will guide you.” Affirmative prayer - connecting with the spirit of God within and asserting positive outcomes - reflects my faith in that higher power. At any time I can turn within, dwell in my heart for a few moments, and be refreshed. Even in the midst of a busy office or a noisy marketplace, I can be still and know that I am one with God. I let the chatter in my mind surrender to stillness and silence. I know Spirit within guides me into my heart where Christ’s presence waits for me with joy and gladness. I give way to Spirit and I am well.

Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth; sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise.—Psalm 66:1-2

Let Go Let God with Spiritual Qualities

As I express my spiritual qualities, I reveal my divine nature.

 

When a flower opens its petals to the sun, it displays its beauty that had been hidden. Like that flower, I, too, am created in the image and likeness of God with a divine inner beauty waiting to be revealed. I show my divine nature when I express my spiritual qualities of kindness, compassion, love, acceptance, and interest in others. I feel my direct and continuous connection to Spirit. My highest calling is to be the expression of God in this world. I also acknowledge that all others are divine in nature, even if they may express it in different ways. As I express my own spiritual qualities, I reveal my divine nature. It is my opportunity to be a blessing in the world.

You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid.—Matthew 5:14

Let Go Let God with Inner Peace

I am infused with the peace and strength of God

 

Anytime I feel anxious or worried, I can turn to the words of Jesus for inspiration: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?” (Matthew 6:25) God is the source of the air I breathe, the food that nourishes my body, and the spirit that comforts my soul. I breathe in this truth. I exhale, releasing any thoughts of scarcity or lack. I feel a return to that deep, abiding inner peace that permeates my being. With God as my constant source, I am infused with peace, strength, joy, and gratitude.

Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?—Matthew 6:26

Let Go Let God Feel Healing

I am a radiating center of divine life and energy.

 

I can use the power of words to bless my body temple. Whenever I feel tired or ill, I sit in the Silence and place my attention on divine life that dwells in the center of every cell in my body. I remind myself that, as a beloved child of God, health is my birthright. I remember that God’s will for me is a life of wholeness. I claim health and wholeness when I affirm: I am a radiating center of divine life and energy. Healing energy ripples forth from my life-giving words to bless my body temple.

Surely, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life.—Psalm 54:4

Let Go Let God be Flexible

I embrace change with poise and flexibility.

 

Life is filled with unexpected changes that present new challenges. My ability to gracefully adapt to life’s twists and turns hinges on my firm connection to Spirit. With divine wisdom as my ever-present internal guide, I recognize that I can never be truly lost or permanently stuck—even if it might sometimes feel that way. I embrace all unknowns with poise, adjusting effortlessly to every new circumstance. I might be facing the most unforeseen obstacles or seemingly disruptive detours, such as a divorce, loss of a job, or medical diagnosis. Whatever the challenging circumstance, I do not become fearful or rigid. Aligned with Spirit, I stay openhearted, flexible, and calm. My life is always supported by perfect Love.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.—Psalm 119:105

Let Go Let God be Safe & Secure

I am safe, secure, and divinely protected.

 

Like a boat pulls into a harbor to seek refuge from a storm, I turn to God when I seek safety. Despite any storm raging around me, I have the ability to turn my focus from fear to faith. I know and trust that no storm could ever destroy the protection that God provides. I am always safe and secure with God, but sometimes I need to be reminded. Scripture verses, religious rituals, prayer, and meditation are tools that can help me shift my mind’s attention to God. As I allow my mind to focus on spiritual truths and qualities, my body begins to relax. I keep my attention on my connection with God, and the strength and love that protects me always. Here, with God, I am safe from harm.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.—Psalm 46:1
