Let Go Let God Pray for Others

In faith, I pray without ceasing.

 

In the apostle Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians, he encouraged them to “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances.” Prayer is connecting within to the Divine that is the essence of my being and also at the heart of everything else. So when I pray for the ones I love, I give thanks in advance that their needs are being met at the right time and in the right way. I see them as wholly divine creations, regardless of the circumstances they find themselves in at this moment. When I hold someone else in the energy of prayer, I go deeper. I see beyond their human situation and instead behold and embrace the Christ presence within them. I pray without ceasing, allowing for divine order in all situations.

Pray without ceasing.—1 Thessalonians 5:17

Let Go Let God Seize the Moment

I embrace the possibilities for good in this moment.

I ask myself What good thing is ready to happen in my life right now? I begin thinking of problems as possibilities. I recognize my divine nature, and my perspective transforms. I find meaning in every situation, every moment. The statement “Wherever I am, God is” becomes a vibrant reality. Unlimited divine life, love, wisdom, and power are mine to use, not only as I move through major life events but also in the ordinary moments of everyday life. God’s life, love, wisdom, and power express in my decisions and in my actions.

Let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.—1 John 3:18

Let Go Let God Have Faith

My faith is in the light of God.

 

In areas that experience seasonal weather, landscapes can appear bleak during the winter. Seasons will pass and the long days of summer light will return. The same holds true with my own life. If I notice any darkness, I remember that all things have their source in the light of God. Any seeming darkness comes from the veil of my limited human vision. Faith is the conviction of things not seen. If the outer world seems chaotic, I have faith that there is something greater at work. Although the world I live in is complex, in God there is only oneness. I have faith in the power, presence, and harmonizing love of God. If personal troubles arise, I affirm: This, too, shall pass. There is nothing to fear for my faith is in the light of God.

The one who is righteous will live by faith.—Romans 1:17

Let Go Let God be Free

I am free. I am unlimited.

 

God’s essence and energy is free and unlimited, and because I am divinely created, I exist without restriction or repression. I begin to understand freedom as a quality of Spirit through conscious communion with God. As I connect with Spirit in prayer and meditation, I begin to experience and know a deep, authentic kind of freedom. If I feel stuck in life’s circumstances, I remember and call upon the freedom through Spirit that surpasses any condition in my outer life. I eliminate any thoughts, feelings, or actions that no longer serve me. I connect with the unlimited essence of Spirit within me and affirm: I am free. I am unlimited.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.—Romans 8:2

Let Go Let God Forgive

As I forgive myself, I can forgive others.

 

The words I say and choices I make can sometimes hurt others, and I may feel regret for something I’ve said or done. Forgiving others is one of the keys to living free. Before I can truly forgive anyone else, however, I must first be willing to forgive myself. At my core, I am divine. On the outside, I am a human being who can make mistakes and fall short of my best. I take time to reflect on what happened and then pause, inhaling a deep, cleansing breath. Moving from human judgment into the space of divine love, I embrace the lesson available to me. This is a moment of discovery—an opportunity to find compassion for myself and others. I make amends, knowing that at the core of forgiveness is mercy, love, and grace.

Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.—Matthew 5:7

Let Go Let God be Guided

I am continually guided to my greatest good.

 

How do I know whether I am acting upon divine guidance or merely listening to the busy mind of my human self? I do it through spiritual practice and a willingness to stop the mind chatter. I listen intently and faithfully through meditation and prayer. When I receive a divine idea, there is a sense of rightness to it. I can feel it. It may not always provide the easiest route to go, but I trust that Spirit within is directing me, step by step. Since I know divine guidance is always for my highest and best use, I find the courage to follow through. I may be guided to begin a new venture, to express appreciation to someone, or to forgive a past hurt.

And when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left, your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”—Isaiah 30:21

Let Go Let God in the Sanctuary

My heart is a sanctuary of divine love.

 

Love is an amazing power that comforts and heals, uplifts and transforms. Love has the power to heal the world. When I reach within to touch the power of divine love, I tap in to a source that guides my thoughts, words, and actions. As I remain attuned to this power, I am able to love unconditionally. I see the world and the people in it through the eyes of understanding, not condoning error or shortcomings, but instead looking beyond those things to see the divine in others. I recognize each person as a divine being and myself as an emissary of peace in the world. I create an environment of harmony, respect, and reverence as I act from the love in my heart.

And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.—1 Corinthians 13:13
